Flexible LED Displays for Electronic Textiles

Flexible electrical device is the next generation of wearable technological application direction. In this study, the integrating printed textile circuit board, FPCB (flexible printed circuit board), and lighting chips onto a fabric were applicable for display. The size of the conductive junction can be tremendously down to 1mm*1mm compared with the current buckle junction. This novel design of the printed electronics embedded textile technology leads the e-textile crossing to display system to a higher tendency of the flexible, stretchable and thin characteristic of textile.
