Fudan University presents a functional, large-area display textile which serves to bridge human-machine interactions by weaving conductive and luminescent fibers with cotton yarn to form electroluminescent units (EL units) directly within the textile [7]. At this stage, the following aspects can be studied to further develop interactive luminescent textiles: materials, manufacture, sensing, circuit, wearability, and intelligence [4]. The integration of multimodal sensing and flexible circuits in textiles is a new challenge for development. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence should also be used in such textiles [4]. Conductive materials play a crucial role as carriers of electronic circuits in the development of smart textiles [2]. Conductive materials are often integrated into smart textiles in the form of fibers, yarns, coatings, or fabrics to meet different performance requirements and application scenarios [8]. In addition to conventional spinning methods, the prefabricated preform-to-fiber thermal drawing technique, invented by [PERSON] at MIT, has been utilized to produce multicomponent and multifunctional conductive fibers for constructing textile electronic devices [9]. Coating techniques provide a convenient method for endowing textiles with conductive properties. By using dip-coating, screen printing, or template printing, conductive materials can be coated onto textile substrates to achieve conductive and sensing functions [10]. For conductive fibers and yarns, traditional weaving techniques can be employed to integrate them into fabrics for connecting various electronic components. [PERSON]'s research group has extensive experience in designing and weaving textile flexible circuit boards (FCBs). These fabric-based FCBs have temperature-sensing networks with superior sensitivity, precision, and resolution compared to general coating composite materials [11]. Currently, smart textiles developed based on conductive materials generally possess excellent conductive and sensing performance. However, most interactive functions still rely on external electronic components for expression, lacking integrated and visualized interactive feedback. At the same time, conductive materials are usually exposed on the surface of fabrics in smart textiles so that the signal stability is susceptible to interference by many external factors such as human body resistance and grounding conditions. Polymeric optical fibers (POFs) have been used to construct luminous clothing and various household textiles which occupy a certain market share due to their lightweight, flexibility, and ease of processing [12]. Several commercial POF fabric products have been developed by companies such as Luminex in Saluggia, Italy, XO Technology in the Concord, CA, USA, SEYANG in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and Shenzhen Fashion Luminous Technology (Shenzhen, China), and Fujian Deliang Jacquard Weaving (Fuzhou, China) [13].
