The new textile emits highly uniform
The new textile emits highly uniform, bright yellow light for more than 180
hours.Scientists have created a low-cost, flexible and light-weight textile
material that may be used in light-emitting clothing, signs and architecture.
Our work shows that ultra-flexible light emission on large areas can be
realised on very lightweight textile electrodes," said Thomas Lanz from Umea
University in Sweden.The fabric electrode consists of a weave of silver-coated
copper wires and polymer fibres that are embedded in a polymer Wholesale
Cube vacuum space bags matrix, all of which is coated with a conductive ink.
"Traditionally, this was hard to come by, as these electrodes are typically
quite rough.org'. Scientists have created a low-cost, flexible and light-weight
textile material that may be used in light-emitting clothing, signs and
architecture. We have demonstrated that the light-emitting electrochemical
cell's inherent fault tolerance is ideally suited for this type of transparent
substrate,†Lanz told 'Phys.. The light-emitting textile is made by
spray-coating a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) onto a transparent
fabric-based electrode, which results in a simpler and less-expensive
fabrication process compared to those used to make OLEDs.
Researchers see huge
applications for this technology in the field of wearables, as the device is
highly conformal. The advantages of this new transparent fabric are its high
flexibility, light weight, and low cost.As of now, the most common transparent
and flexible light-emitting device technology is the organic light-emitting
diode (OLED), whose fabrication process involves expensive vacuum technology,
researchers said
