"Researchers have developed a 46-inch woven display with smart sensors, energy
harvesting and storage integrated directly into the fabric.
An international team of scientists have produced a fully woven smart textile
display that integrates active electronic, sensing, energy and photonic
functions. The functions are embedded directly into the fibers and yarns, which
are manufactured using textile-based industrial processes.
The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, say their approach could
lead to applications that sound like sci-fi: curtains that are also TVs,
energy-harvesting carpets, and interactive, self-powered clothing and fabrics.
This is the first time that a scalable large-area complex system has been
integrated into textiles using an entirely fiber-based manufacturing approach.
Their results are reported in the journal
Nature Communications."
