Electrotextiles represent a huge potential in creating a new generation of flexible textile platforms for electronic systems and smart garments. In this research of electrotextile fabrication weaving method was used. Fully or partly replacing traditional (non-conductive) textile yarns with conductive textile yarns, it is possible to get woven conductive textile material or fabric circuit. In the paper weaving method is considered for electro textile design and process of flexible textile light-emitting display fabrication is described. Fabric with interwoven conductive yarns to which light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were attached was designed. This technology is not only limited to light illuminated displays but can also be used to build other smart textile constructions like sensors, conductive textile traces etc.
