Japan's Fiber Optic "Delight Cloth" Glows

Some amazing fabric made of light-emitting fiber optic strands is getting some attention in the textile world.


Via Transmaterial.net:

"Delight Cloth is a light-emitting textile comprised of thousands of fiber optic strands. With a diameter of only 0.25 to 0.5 mm, the optical fibers are woven into a large translucent tapestry that can be hung vertically or horizontally. The material may be used for wall or ceiling treatments, as well as banner signage or clothing. Delight Cloth can be fabricated with imbedded graphics or logos, and may be used to emit a wide variety of colors of light."
