Textile displays are poised to revolutionize current electronic devices, and reshape the future of electronics and related fields such as biomedicine and soft robotics. However, they remain unavailable due to the difficulty of directly constructing electroluminescent devices onto the textile-like substrate to really display desired programmable patterns. Here, a novel textile display is developed from continuous electroluminescent fibers made by a one-step extrusion process. The resulting displaying textile is flexible, stretchable, three-dimensionally twistable, conformable to arbitrarily curved skins, and breathable, and can dynamically display a series of desired patterns, making it useful for bioinspired electronics, soft robotics, and electroluminescent skins, among other applications. It is demonstrated that these displaying textiles can also communicate with a computer and mouse brain for smart display and camouflage applications. This work may open up a new direction for the integration of wearable electroluminescent devices with the human body, providing new and promising communication platforms.
纺织显示器有望彻底革新当前的电子设备，重塑电子学以及生物医学和软体机器人等相关领域的未来。然而，由于难以将电致发光器件直接构建到类似纺织品的基底上，以真正显示所需的可编程图案，因此它们仍然无法实现。在这里，通过一步挤出工艺制备出连续的电致发光纤维，从而开发出一种新型纺织显示器。所得到的显示纺织品具有柔韧性、拉伸性、三维可扭曲性、可贴合任意弯曲的皮肤、透气性，并可以动态显示一系列所需的图案，使其可用于仿生电子学、软体机器人和电致发光皮肤等应用。结果表明，这些显示纺织品还可以与计算机和鼠标大脑进行通信，用于智能显示和伪装应用。这项工作可能为可穿戴电致发光器件与人体的集成开辟新的方向，提供新的、有前景的通信平台。
