Abstract: In order to develop a fabric with good luminous effect and easy manufacture,PMMA core optical fibers with end luminescence are woven with common textile fibers according to a certain fabric weave.The optical fibers′ surface weave forms a pattern.And then surface treatment is performed on the portion of the fabric which is desired to be luminous.The fabric is integrated with electronic circuit and embedded with electronic elements.The light emitting diode(LED) is used as illuminant in the fabric.The mixture reagent of hexane and acetone that brings good side-glowing luminance is used to treat the optical fibers′ surface.The luminance performance of the fabric is tested.And the results show that it has obvious luminous effect.The luminous fabric designed in this paper can be used in stage decoration,household textiles,and warning signal fields.Further research may be directed to the development of flexible fabric display with it.
