Abstract

We receive approximately 80% of our external environmental information through vision, making display technology an essential component of modern life. The evolution of device structures has led to the iterative development of display technology from rigid bulk to flexible films. Recently, next-generation displays have woven electroluminescent units directly into polymer composite fibres to form textile displays. Such displays are flexible and breathable, like clothing, suggesting applications such as wearables and smart textiles. In particular, they would allow users to interact with electronic devices by touching the clothing. This Perspective provides a summary of the evolution of textile displays. We then discuss recent achievements in the field, including applications of textile displays, advances in active materials, designs of interfaces between the active layer and fibre electrodes, developments in display modules, and integration of textile displays with multiple electronic functions. Finally, we highlight the potential challenges of textile displays for practical applications and suggesting future research directions in this exciting field.

Key points

  • Textile displays offer unprecedented flexibility that is similar to normal textiles, conforming to irregular shapes and enabling wearing comfort. Users can enjoy display functionalities seamlessly integrated into their garments or accessories.

  • Luminescent materials as the basic foundation for textile displays need to be designed with high optoelectronic performance and operation durability to make textile displays suitable for practical wearable applications.

  • An effective interface among fibre electrodes is essential to realize the efficient electrical connection and uniform electric-field distribution needed to enable reliable operation of textile displays.

  • Challenges in resolution performance, driving modules and application explorations should be addressed for practical applications of textile displays.
