An electronics and computer science student at the University of Southampton in the U.K. has developed the world's first screen-printed digital watch on fabric. The electroluminescent displays were printed using the thick-film printing facilities in the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre cleanroom.
The watch display is printed directly on to fabric to achieve the world's first printed smart-fabric watch. The watch is printed layer by layer using screen-printable pastes with electronic functionality such as conduction, insulation, and electroluminescence.
Marc de Vos, a third-year student, developed the watch for his Part III Individual Project. His work was selected for presentation at the annual Smart Textiles Salon held in Belgium, which showcases prototype smart fabrics from industry and academia to a wide European audience. The project is a continuation of the development of smart fabrics as part of the successful EU FP7 "MICROFLEX" project which was completed within the department.
