Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a smart textile product and a method for manufacturing a smart textile product. The smart textile product is provided with a flexible and/or stretchable textile fabric (10) comprising a plurality of electrically conductive threads (11, 12) and at least one rigid electronic or optoelectronic component (20) comprising at least one electrically conductive pad (21, 22), which is in electrical contact with at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive threads. The smart textile product (10) comprises an elastomeric encapsulation layer (31) in which the electrical connection (1, 2) is embedded, so as to provide a gradual transition in deformability between the flexible and/or stretchable textile fabric (10) and the at least one rigid component (20) at the location of the at least one electrical connection (1, 2).
