Mass-produced and uniformly luminescent photochromic fibers toward future interactive wearable displaysOACSTPCD

Enabling flexible fibers with light-emitting capabilities has the potential to revolutionize the design of smart wearable interactive devices.A recent publication in Light Science & Application,an interdisciplinary team of scientists led by Prof.Yan-Qing Lu and Prof.Guangming Tao has realized a highly flexible,uniformly luminescent photochromic fiber based on a mass-produced thermal drawing method.It overcomes the shortcomings of existing commercial light-diffusing fibers,exhibiting outstanding one-dimensional linear illumination performance.The research team integrated controllable photochromic fibers into various wearable interaction interfaces,providing a novel approach and insights to enable human-computer interaction.
