the technology can display images and video, respond to finger presses, and connect wirelessly to digital devices, while retaining the breathability and flexibility of everyday fabric.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a touchscreen integrated directly into a garment using electronic fibers that combine light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and touch sensors. Led by Assistant Professor Tural Khudiyev, the team integrates 54 of these fibers into a sleeve to create a flexible display that shows images and video, responds to finger presses, and connects wirelessly to digital devices. The research introduces a textile interface that retains the breathability and flexibility of everyday clothing while withstanding machine washing.
