THIN FILM ENERGY FABRIC
First Claim
1. A sheet-like material, comprising:
- a first section configured to receive and store electrical energy; and
a second section configured to utilize the electrical energy stored in the first section for use in at least one from among heat dissipation, heat generation, and light emission, the second section encapsulated with the first section to form a sheet-like material.

Abstract
A material is provided that includes a first section for storing energy and a second section for releasing energy received from the first section in which the energy is preferably electrical energy that is used for one from among heat dissipation, heat generation, light emission and powering of an electric circuit. Ideally the material includes a third layer adapted to collect energy and convert the energy to electrical energy for storage in the first section. A fourth protection section is provided on at least one side of the material. The material can be formed of woven strips, laminated sections, or in coaxial sections that are woven together to form a flexible fabric material having at least one characteristic from among breathability, wickability, moisture resistance, moisture-proof, and stretchability.
