Philips develops Lumalive

Wearable electronics is not a new idea, but advances in technology enables manufacturers to create more comfortable and modern clothing. Philips have developed the Lumalive technology that enables LEDs to be integrated ito fibres without leaving any trace behind, rendering the electronic components, batteries, and LEDs invisible to the naked eye when worn. Such a fabric will retain its original qualities being soft and washable, making it a joy to wear. You can now light up your clothes at the flick of a button without looking as if you’re wearing a sack of electronic components.
