We present a new type of electronic circuits: e-textiles. Such circuits are made by weaving together specialized component fibers. The fibers have electronic components integrated onto them. Various circuits can be formed by weaving these fibers in various patterns. Connections between fibers are made using contact pads, which are free to move against each other, thus keeping the fabric flexible. We use amorphous silicon thin-film transistors as the active devices and present their fabrication on fiber as well as an inverter circuit woven from the fibers.
