METHOD FOR FORMING A PREDETERMINED PATTERN IN AN OPTICAL FIBRE TEXTILE AND AN OPTICAL FIBRE TEXTILE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for forming a predetermined pattern in an optical fibre textile, in which method a permanent predetermined three-dimensional pattern deviating from the plane of the optical fibre textile is formed in the optical fibre textile by changing the optical properties of the optical fibres by means of heating and shaping so that the optical fibres partly permeate the light being conducted in them in the predetermined pattern for illuminating the pattern. Further, the present invention relates to an optical fibre textile having a predetermined pattern formed therein.
