Lumalive

Lumalive is a photonic textile, which uses cloth as a lighted graphic display medium. Developed by Philips Research Technologies, Lumalive integrates a flexible array of miniature light-emitting diodes into a piece of cloth, which allows the cloth to display graphics, text, and animation.

Philips first unveiled a prototype of Lumalive at IFA 2005 (an international industrial exhibition). At IFA 2006, Philips demonstrated production-ready Lumalive as promotional clothing and upholstery.

Although the textile is not yet commercially available, Philips currently is offering it to business partners for promotional purposes. Fashion designer Anke Loh used Lumalive in her September 2006 fashion show in Chicago.
