Abstract: Disclosed herein is a light transmissive fiber integrated knit textile for use on consumer electronic products. The knit textile is depicted to be constructed with light transmissive fibers integration through a weave-in/inlay knit technique with a flat-bed knitting construction. The light transmissive knitted textile is also tethered to a portable electronic device, allowing for the light transmitting fibers knitted into the fabric to define a lighting display on said fabric.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a flat-bed knit-based electrode structure that has non-electrically conductive regions and electrically conductive regions. The non-electrically conductive regions are formed from a knitted textile including non-conductive yarns, and the electrically conductive regions are formed from a knitted textile having electrically conductive yarn. The electrically conductive regions are knitted using a conductive hybrid yarn containing a non-conductive multifilament with polymer and coated with carbon. The electrically conductive regions can transmit electrical data or power signals along the knitted textile via the conductive yarn. A connector links the conductive region to a wireless device that can output heart rate data of the user.
