Ученые хотят сделать дисплей из нитокScientists claim they can create a display of thread.

According to “Xinhua”, the project was called “low Tide” (Ebb) because, according to the developers, the technology “is more like sea tides than the output images to currently existing displays”. The technology – conductive thread coated with thermochromic paint.

This paint was developed about a year ago, the principle of its action consists in the special pigments that react to temperature change. Apply such a paint may, for example, in the food industry, showing the degree of cooling soda cans, or for painting car changing color depending on air temperature.

The team from the University of California under the leadership of designer Laura Devendorf created from smart seven yarns and knitted fabric samples of material. In the future, such materials can be created by clothes, dynamically changing the pattern or all color.

However, except the color of the thermochromic paint can still transmit graphical information. Thus, working hours can be arranged directly on the sleeve of the dress. We will remind that earlier on the development of a similar technology for “smart” clothing is also announced by Google. “The project Jacquard (Jacquard Project) plans to turn the clothes in the interface to control appliances by introducing into the fabric a special conductive threads. Thus, the garment connects to the gadget, and the fabric itself becomes a likeness of the touchpad.
