light emmiting shirts






I have one of those T-Qualizer shirts, they're pretty cool. My friend's brother has one that lights up according to signal strength in the presence of a of a wireless network.
 
Yeah, this technology's been around awhile. They sell these shirts in the mall by me.
 
my friend has a shirt with a guitar printed on it, you strum the guitar with a special pick and it plays music XD

The thinkgeek ones are FLP already in shape, that glow when excited from a high frequency elevator.

The ones from Philips, if the video is not a fake or "worked-up", seems using a different structural approach, and, maybe, a different technology .....

Hell, those are the gender of things that make my fingertips itchy from the will to take one and dismantle for understand how it work :p :eg:
 
I agree... I have one of those T-Qualizer T-Shirts...

It has a flexible plastic illuminating sheet connected to a
control box stuck to the T-Shirt fabric...
I have removed the electronics of mine..

It is not at all similar to the supple illuminating Philips fabric...IMO

Yeah, the ones that are commonly available use an electroluminescent panel that is fixed to the shirt, and driven by a small box containing the batteries and inverter for the EL
 
Being sincere, there are a pair of things that let me perplexed, in that video .....

First, no clear images, all is "blurred" or out of focus (it can also due to the bad quality, about the low res, but not about all the "unfocusing" parts.

Second, i examined the video, and i see the flickering (that can be due to the refersh circuitsù), but don't see the pixels ..... mean, also when the images are at focus, i can't see the pixels divisions at the borders of the images (can be due to the fact that the real light source is under the fabric, anyway)

Third, when the person pass a hand on the t-shirt (frame time 0:33 0:34), there is a moment, very quick, in which you see like a shadow, same as when you place a hand between a projector and a screen, also if on the hand there's no light ..... wondering what is causing it, cause the figure is like "cutted out" .....

Also the images on the sofa, it look like a projection, and also there, always off focus ..... just wondering .....

See, i'm NOT saying that is impossible (in fact, with EL fibers, printed OLED and PLED and conductive fabrics, actually IS possible, at least theorically) ..... i'm saying only that i will be glad to have one of them under my claws for a very extensive analysis :p :eg:

EDIT: and, do you know what they resemble to me, at least the t-shirts ? ..... they resemble me a flexible OLED screen with the luminosity at the maximum, seen through a light fabric cotton t-shirt ..... or i'm the only one that have this impression ? :eg:

Have you tried pointing a laser at the snow? Even the dot of a laser isn't in focus on a white diffusing material such as fabric. Since it's coming from within the fabric, the fabric itself tends to bounce the light around a bit. This has the effect of blurring the image and subsequently smoothing the edges of the pixels.

I believe the ones at thinkgeek and others have a panel outside the shirt. That makes the image sharper, but it makes the fabric hard and stiff at that spot.

I can't explain the image-break you posted, but if it were from a projection, the image should be easily seen on the hand.
 
The borders are just opaline plastic with RGB leds inside and pc controlled ..... the glass panels, i guess it's possible do something similar using LCD color screens in place of the glass panels (after all, you can turn an LCD panel from black to transparent to colored transparent and draw on it figures, in a normal screen where the light source is a FL lamp, so why not with a daylight backlight ? ;)

I've had the LCD window idea for a long time. Shades would become obsolete, you could darken your windows whenever.
