Wearable electronics on fibers or fabrics assembled with electronic functions provide a platform for sensors, displays, circuitry, and computation. These new conceptual devices are human-friendly and programmable, which makes them indispensable for modern electronics. Their unique properties such as being adaptable in daily life, as well as being lightweight and flexible, have enabled many promising applications in robotics, healthcare, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Transistors, one of the fundamental blocks in electronic systems, allow for signal processing and computing. Therefore, study leading to integration of transistors with fabrics has become intensive. Here, several aspects of fiber-based transistors are addressed, including materials, system structures, and their functional devices such as sensory, logical circuitry, memory devices as well as neuromorphic computation. Recently reported advances in development and challenges to realizing fully integrated electronic textile (e-textile) systems are also discussed.
在纤维或织物上组装的具有电子功能的可穿戴电子产品为传感器、显示器、电路和计算提供了一个平台。这些新的概念性设备对人类友好且可编程，这使其成为现代电子产品不可或缺的一部分。它们具有诸如适应日常生活、轻便且灵活等独特特性，从而在机器人技术、医疗保健和物联网（IoT）领域实现了许多有前景的应用。晶体管是电子系统的基本元件之一，用于信号处理和计算。因此，关于将晶体管与织物集成的研究变得十分密集。在此，将探讨基于纤维的晶体管的几个方面，包括材料、系统结构及其功能器件，如传感、逻辑电路、存储器件以及神经形态计算。还将讨论最近报道的在开发方面的进展以及实现完全集成的电子纺织品（e-textile）系统所面临的挑战。
