Note: A type of thin layer transistors (TFT) that are suitable for wearing on the body.

With this technology, LED screens can be inserted into the fibers of clothes, and that dress can display different images like a TV. Tools such as microchips, biosensors and very small batteries are no longer difficult to make very small wearable devices. These small devices can connect to larger devices and send the information they receive to them.


Body heat can be used to power the sensors on these wearables. By doing this, you no longer need to put the battery inside these devices.

Combining smart microchips and smart nano fabrics

In nanoelectronic wearable technology, smart fabrics can be divided into two different categories:  1- Beauty and 2- Performance improvement  Examples of beauty include fabrics that can change color. Some of these fabrics use vibrations, sound or heat to collect energy from the environment and react. There is another type of smart fabric to increase performance that will have a huge impact on intense sports activities and the military industry. These are fabrics that help regulate body temperature, 

They resist the wind and control the vibration of the muscles, which improves the performance of athletes. Other fabrics for protective clothing have been developed to protect against severe environmental hazards such as radiation and the damaging effects of sunlight.
