Many types of solutions have been studied and developed in order to give the user feedback when using touchpads, buttons, or keyboards in textile industry. Their application on textiles could allow a wide range of applications in the field of medicine, sports or the automotive industry. In this work, we introduce a novel solution that combines a 2D touchpad with an electroluminescent display (ELD). This approach physically has two circuits over a flexible textile substrate using the screen-printing technique for wearable electronics applications. Screen-printing technology is widely used in the textile industry and does not require heavy investments. For the proposed solution, different layer structures are presented, considering several fabric materials and inks, to obtain the best results.
为了在纺织工业中使用触摸板、按钮或键盘时为用户提供反馈,已经研究和开发了许多类型的解决方案。它们在纺织品上的应用可以在医学、运动或汽车行业等领域提供广泛的应用。在这项工作中,我们引入了一种新颖的解决方案,该方案将 2D 触摸板与电致发光显示器 (ELD) 相结合。这种方法在柔性纺织基底上使用丝网印刷技术具有两个物理电路,可用于可穿戴电子应用。丝网印刷技术在纺织工业中得到了广泛的应用,不需要大量投资。对于所提出的解决方案,考虑到几种织物材料和油墨,提出了不同的层结构,以获得最佳效果。
