Mass-produced and uniformly luminescent photochromic fibers toward future interactive wearable displays

Light Sci Appl. 2024 Apr 2;13(1):79. doi: 10.1038/s41377-024-01414-4.ABSTRACTEnabling flexible fibers with light-emitting capabilities has the potential to revolutionize the design of smart wearable interactive devices. A recent publication in Light Science & Application, an interdisciplinary team of scientists led by Prof. Yan-Qing Lu and Prof. Guangming Tao has realized a highly flexible, uniformly luminescent photochromic fiber based on a mass-produced thermal drawing method. It overcomes the shortcomings of existing commercial light-diffusing fibers, exhibiting outstanding one-dimensional linear illumination performance. The research team integrated controllable photochromic fibers into various wearable interaction interfaces, providing a novel approach and insights to enable human-computer interaction.PMID:38565550 | PMC:PMC10987505 | DOI:10.1038/s41377-024-01414-4
