Incorporation of Lumalive into fabric items
Sample fabrics are included in this Evaluation Kit to illustrate how the Lumalive
display panel should be incorporated into a layered fabric item. A product designer
aiming to do so should take several factors into account in the choice of fabrics that
are applied on top of and below the display panel. The most important design factors
are discussed below.
In order to achieve a better optical effect, and more closely blended pixels, a fabric
with appreciable optical diffusion properties can be put on top of the display; Optical
diffusion is the spreading out of light by a material. The amount of diffusion depends
on the density, the structure and the thickness of the material.
The amount of light coming from the display pane underneath a number of fabric
layers will depend on the optical transmission of the fabrics. The transmission of a
material depends on its density, structure and thickness. Unfortunately, the optical
transmission of a material is inversely proportional to its optical diffusion. In other
words, the more diffusion, the less transmission and vice versa. In practice, an
optimum design needs to be found that balances these two material properties.
The perceived clarity of text or animations displayed on the Lumalive display panel
depends amongst others on the optical brightness contrast. In general, a higher
contrast will be achieved when the display panel is operated in a dark environment,
where the amount of reflected light is low. The contrast between adjacent pixels on
the display panel also depends on the amount of diffusion applied by the fabrics on
top: the more diffusion, the lower the contrast between adjacent pixels. To achieve
good contrast, the amount of diffusion and transmission therefore has to be chosen
in accordance with typical ambient light conditions for intended usage scenarios of
the product.
