Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible display device (10) comprising a flexible substrate (12), and a plurality of electro-optical switching elements (14) accommodated on the substrate. The device is characterized in that the substrate has a plurality of through openings (16) being arranged in a repetitive pattern so that the electro-optical switching elements are located in areas of the substrate adjacent to the openings. The through openings allow for bending the display device in two directions simultaneously, with reduced tensile or compressive stress in the plane of the substrate.

Abstract: A textile is formed from interwoven electrically conductive and non-conductive yarns to provide an array of connection points on one or both surfaces of the textile, facilitating the connection of electronic components to the surface of the textile, in an array. The textile comprises a multi-layer warp having electrically conductive and non-conductive yarns and a weft having electrically conductive and non-conductive yarns. At least some of the electrically conductive weft yarns cross selected electrically conductive warp yarns without electrical contact therebetween by being separated from the electrically conductive warp yarns by at least one non-conductive warp yarn in each layer of the multi-layer warp. Loops formed by the electrically conductive weft yarns provide electrical connection points together with proximal portions of electrically conductive warp yarns.

Abstract: An iron is provided having a housing, a soleplate which is to be moved in a displacement direction over a fabric during operation, and a heating element for heating the soleplate, the soleplate having a cooling element for setting at least a portion of the fabric during operation, which cooling element is provided, seen in the displacement direction, behind the heating element. After heating of the fibers in the fabric, the cooling element in the soleplate subsequently cools the fibers in the fabric which are under tensile and compression forces because the soleplate is still in contact with the fabric. This causes the fibers to become set quickly and effectively, which improves the result of the ironing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound to improve wrinkle resistance in fabrics, comprising: a wrinkle reducing agent, comprising at least one fusible elastomer, and a liquid carrier for carrying said agent and a salt composition for physical crosslinking said fusible elastomer. The invention also relates to a fabric provided with said wrinkle resistance improving compound. The invention further relates to a method of improving wrinkle resistance in a fabric by use of such a compound.

Abstract: In an iron (1) comprising a housing (2), a soleplate (3) which is to be moved in a displacement direction over a fabric (4) during operation, and heating means (5) for heating the soleplate (3), the soleplate (3) comprises cooling means (6) for setting at least a portion of the fabric during operation, which means are provided, seen in the displacement direction, behind the heating means (5). After heating of the fibers in the fabric, the cooling means comprised in the soleplate subsequently cool the fibers in the fabric which are under tensile and compression forces because the soleplate is still in contact with the fabric. This causes the fibers to become set quickly and effectively, which improves the result of the ironing.
