NUS team weaves washable touchscreen fabric into a display sleeve
What happened
A National University of Singapore team wove 54 electronic fibers into a sleeve that works as a 168×105 mm, 96×54 pixel wearable display. The prototype refreshes at 30 frames per second, shows 8-bit color, responds to touch and takes images over Bluetooth. After 50 machine washes with detergent and 1,000 bends at a 5 mm radius, display and touch performance barely changed, and breathability matched cotton, polyester and denim. Next: higher resolution, more sensors and on-device AI.

新加坡国立大学团队用54根电子纤维织成袖子，做出168×105毫米、96×54像素的可穿戴显示屏，支持30帧/秒刷新、8-bit色深和触控，并能通过蓝牙接收图像。该原型经50次含洗涤剂的机洗和1000次5毫米半径弯折后，显示与触控性能几乎不变，透气性与棉、涤纶、牛仔布相当。团队下一步将提升分辨率、集成更多传感功能并探索端侧AI。
