Philips Lumalive textiles


Creating a magic lighting experience with textiles
 

 
 
Few activities in life are more rewarding than self-expression. From choosing the clothes we wear to the way we decorate our homes, each of us has an opportunity to create something intensely personal and very special. Textiles have always played an important part in this creativity, providing us with a rich tapestry of color, texture, shape and form. Thanks to on-going work at Philips Research, animated color illumination is a new creative dimension that textiles will now be able to deliver. Philips Research’s new light-emitting ‘Lumalive’ fabrics will also have important applications in healthcare and personal safety.
