The following invention discloses a type of electronic circuits that is realized directly on textile. The circuit has opto-electronic functions that are realized with a number of components integrated into the textile. These components comprise electronically and/or optically active material, that are supported by fabric elements. The components furthermore include an electrolyte. The components have lest two separated structures of an active material, and the electrolyte is in direct contact with the two separated active structures in that component. The separated structures can control their electrical and optical character through the electrolyte. These types of devices are very suitable for implementation in textile, since they are quite insensitive to the spacing between the separated active structures.
An electronic fabric comprising electronic components wherein each said component comprises at least two fabric elements each supporting one or more electro-active materials, and where said electro-active materials are connected in junction between said two fabric elements via an electrolyte.
A method of forming an electronic fabric comprising the steps of:
A method of forming an electronic fabric having a plurality of transistors, comprising the steps of:
An electronic fabric according to claim_1 wherein at least one of said components is further defined as a light emitting chemical cell having an anode comprising a conductive material supported by one of said two fabric elements, and having a cathode comprising a conductive material supported by the other of said two fabric elements, and also having an electrolyte comprising a blend of a semi conducting, luminescent, organic polymer and an ionic species, having the ability of emitting light upon applied voltage between said anode and cathode.
An electronic fabric according to claim_1 wherein at least one of said components is further defined as an electrochromic cell comprising an electrochromic material supported by one of said two fabric elements, and also having a conductive material supported by the other of said two fabric elements, said electrochromic cell having the ability of changing color upon applied voltage on said conductive material.
