The Israeli based textile company have developed a flat, fabric matrix
panel display. The multi layer flat panel structure, conventionally
constructed with inflexible materials, has been replaced with a woven
fabric structure. Thin film processing techniques are combined with
traditional weaving processes. It is possible to produce information
technologies that look and feel like cloth. Visson’s textile screens
consist of a woven conductive structure, using wires with a phosphorous
light emitting coating. The woven structure forms the X-Y matrix system
for the electrodes and employs a development from the EL technology.
The material is described as having the appearance of cloth with no size
restriction, high quality resolution that can be viewed from both sides
of the fabric and from any angle.

Visson have collaborated by licensing the technology to the consumer
electronics giant Philips and aim to manufacture the ElectroLuminescence
textile display in the near future. The display market has grown since the
wide spread use of computers and companies like Visson are hoping to
dominate the market with their textile based product. Flexibility, price
and size are the dominant factors with this industry. They also aim to
integrate the display function into our clothing.

Could lead to smart fabrics and new computer interfaces

In work that could lead to applications including multifunctional textile fabrics and all-optical computer interfaces, MIT researchers report the creation of flexible fibers and fabrics that can not only sense light, but also analyze its colors.
