This textile emits light in a dot matrix configuration.
The organic light emitting diodes (OLED) foils woven into the weft of this textile produce light upon applying an electric current to them.
The intersecting points between the OLED and the conductive threads utilized as the warp establish the matrix circuit.
As the foils are woven to the back side of the textile, they do not interfere with the Nishijin’s design even when the lights are off.
Furthermore, it is possible to design flexible textiles in a weaving length that is scalable.
