This invention describes a fabric that can carry electricity. It's made by weaving or otherwise integrating both regular, non-conductive threads and special conductive threads into a single layer of cloth. The conductive threads form a pathway that can transmit an electrical signal when connected to a power source, specifically described as having at least two segments arranged in series or parallel.
Why it matters: Since 2016, advancements in flexible electronics and conductive textile manufacturing have made integrating reliable electrical pathways into fabric more feasible and durable. Miniaturized components and improved conductive fibers now better support the creation of functional smart garments.
