Abstract: Detection system for generating an electrical signal representative of a variation in light intensity, including a textile element having a first group of optical fibres including on their peripheral surface alterations allowing light to be captured laterally in at least one capturing zone of the textile element, the optical fibres of the first group being grouped together into at least one bundle on at least one border of the textile element, and at least one photosensitive element arranged facing at least one end of at least one bundle of optical fibres of the first group and allowing an electrical signal to be generated depending on the variation in light intensity captured laterally by the optical fibres in the capturing zone of the textile web.

Abstract: Illuminating glass complex characterized in that it comprises a light source consisting of a textile web containing optical fibres arranged in a warp and/or a weft associated with binding yarns in a warp and weft, said optical fibres being capable of emitting light laterally.

Abstract: Fabric web comprising warp and/or weft optical fibres woven with warp and weft binding yarns, in which said optical fibres can emit light sideways characterised in that the surface of the binding yarns is provided with photocatalytic particles and in that said optical fibres include invasive alterations, whereby the free ends of said optical fibres can be positioned facing a light source in order to transmit light and emit light sideways at the aforementioned alterations so as to activate the photocatalytic particles.

Abstract: An illuminating complex includes a light source having a textile web incorporating optical fibres in the warp and/or weft directions. The fibres are associated with binding yarns, and the optical fibres are capable of emitting light laterally. The textile web is attached to a rigid or semi-rigid backing, and a bonding intermediate allows the textile web to be at least partly attached in an irreversible manner to a rigid backing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible display, comprising a flexible support, discrete light sources, arranged in a dispersed manner on the flexible support, means for controlling power supply for the light sources, means, incorporated in the flexible support, for transmission between the means for control of the power supply and the discrete light sources, and control and power signals for the discrete light sources. The above further comprises a diffuser element, covering the light sources, such that the light originating from two adjacent discrete light sources produces an essentially continuous light display on a face of the diffuser element opposite the light sources.
