Electronic textile and method of manufacturing an electronic textile
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing an electronic textile comprising the steps of:
- providing a textile carrier comprising a plurality of conductor lines (6a-b);
releasably attaching said textile carrier to a rigid support plate;
providing a conductive substance on said textile carrier in a pattern forming a plurality of sets of connection pads (5a-b) on said textile carrier, each set of connection pads defining a component placement position for placement of an electronic component, and each set of connection pads (5a-b) comprising a connection pad overlapping one of said conductor lines, said connection pad having a connection pad length (Lcp) in a direction parallel to said conductor line and a connection pad width (Wcp) in a direction perpendicular to said conductor line, wherein said connection pad width (Wcp) is at least one percent of an extension (Wtc) of said textile carrier in said direction perpendicular to the conductor line;
automatically placing electronic components at said component placement positions, whereby the connecting pads in the resulting structure are positioned between the corresponding conductor line and the electronic component;
curing said conductive substance to attach said electronic components to said textile carrier, thereby forming said electronic textile; and
removing said electronic textile from said rigid support plate.

Abstract
A method of manufacturing an electronic textile (1) comprising the steps of: providing a textile carrier (2) comprising a plurality of conductor lines (6a-b); releasably attaching (101) the textile carrier (2) to a rigid support plate (20); providing (102) a conductive substance on the textile carrier (2) in a pattern forming a plurality of sets of connection pads (5a-b) on the textile carrier (2), each set of connection pads defining a component placement position for placement of an electronic component (3), and each set of connection pads (5a-b) comprising a connection pad overlapping one of the conductor lines, the connection pad having a connection pad length (Lcp) in a direction parallel to the conductor line and a connection pad width (Wcp) in a direction perpendicular to the conductor line, wherein the connection pad width (Wcp) is at least one percent of an extension (Wtc) of the textile carrier (2) in the direction perpendicular to the conductor line; automatically placing (103) electronic components (3) at the component placement positions; curing (104) the conductive substance to attach the electronic components (3) to the textile carrier (2), thereby forming the electronic textile (1) and removing (105) the electronic textile from the rigid support plate.
