This document summarizes a presentation on developing organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) through transversal innovative collaborations between Materia Nova and Design Percept. It discusses several projects including Vitruvian, which aims to harvest energy from the body using textiles, and Luminoptex, which seeks to integrate OLEDs, energy storage, and harvesting into textiles to enable autonomous ambient lighting. The collaboration brings together expertise in materials science, electronics, textiles, and design to develop smart textiles that combine the properties of fabrics with functions like light emission and energy production/storage.

27. Relation with the
roadmaps
- 2 important pillars of the European Commission
concern innovative future textile applications:
Photonic textiles (light emission) in fields such as
building and construction ("building textiles",
"home textiles", architecture, interior design
mobility and transportation (vehicles, train..).
- The integration of textiles with new energetic
building enters completely within the framework
Commission directives concerning the reduction
energy consumptions in buildings by 2020
(Directive 2012/27/UE of the European Parliament
25th october 2012) and for the construction of
2021.
New smart textiles with the integration of new energetic
functionalities
General context

28. Interest:
• Combination of the unique properties of textile (flexibility,
costs) with the advantages of OLED's (luminous yields, low
planar and diffuse illumination over large surface, with tunable
interest), lightweight, flexibility and processes).
• Use of the available energy in buildings such as
this energy (electrochemical storage within batteries or
Integration of 3 functionalities (harvesting, storage and transformation of
energy) for the production of light within the same textile substrates for
autonomous ambience lighting applications
Applications:
Architectural lighting and interior design
