dismantled. It can be bent to a radius of 0.5m. Each 0.9m x 0.9m panel ‘module’ weighs just
1.5kg and is only 6.5mm deep. There are 1296 LEDs per module with the 25mm pitch product.
Each LED has its own chip and can be individually identified and addressed. A basic Image-
Mesh unit consists of 6 x 0.9m square modules, simply clipped together. The basic unit is then
controlled with its own driver and DMX splitter. For instance, six basic units will create a 5.4m
x 5.4m screen. The control system consists of the Software Suite and media/video processor
connected to a DMX converter. The converter feeds optical cables to the relay boxes and drivers.
This setup enables the system to take any video feed that the customer chooses, whether that’s
live video, web streaming or pre-recorded DVD. Kapas II is a full color LED display system for
outdoor installations. The LED RGB clusters are fixed to a plastic mesh with different pitch options
ranging from 62.5mm to 100mm. Kapas II works and is configured in a similar way to Image-
Mesh, and can be flexed and bent in the same way. It is designed to be installed outdoors, as a
temporary or permanent installation. Its power, luminous intensity, and wide viewing angle make
it optimal for cityscape applications or large outdoor concerts and events. It is IP68 rated and can
even be installed underwater and in ice.

iMAT
Developed by New Zealand-based Zephyr Technology Ltd., iMAT is sensing technology which
uses electric field measuring techniques to determine the distance between two surfaces. This
technology allows flexible and formable sensors that can measure displacement, force, pressue,
weight, impact events, movement, and breathing. iMAT sensors are cost effective, flexible, and
may be manufactured in a variety of shapes. Any compressible medium such as PE foam or EVA
may be used. Typical applications include wearable smart fabrics, 3D mapping of bodies, noncontact
patient movement and respiratory analysis, real-time radio-linked pressure mapping,
in-field patient monitoring, and body armor impact sensing.

Light-Emitting Roof Tiles
The roof has historically focused on one primary function: keeping out the elements. New
technologies, as present in Light-Emitting Roof Tiles, allow the integration of additional functions
within roof surfaces. Manufactured by Lambert Kamps, the transparent roof tiles are integrated
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and designed to display text, pictures, and other graphical content
in multiple colors. Information may also be animated, such as with an illuminated news trailer.
Light-Emitting Roof Tiles also come with their own self-supporting solar-photovoltaic power
system.

Lumalive
Lumalive fabrics feature flexible arrays of colored light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fully integrated
into the fabric - without compromising the softness or flexibility of the cloth. These light emitting
textiles make it possible to create materials that can carry dynamic messages, graphics or
multicolored surfaces. Fabrics like drapes, cushions or sofa coverings become active when they
illuminate in order to enhance the observer’s mood and positively influence his/her behavior.
Lumalive jackets are comfortable to wear, and the Lumalive fabrics only become obvious when
they light up to display vivid colored patterns, logos, short text messages or even full color
animations. The electronics, batteries and LED arrays are fully integrated and invisible to the
observer and wearer. The jackets feature panels of up to 200 by 200 mm², although the active
sections can be scaled up to cover much larger areas such as a sofa. “Taking the Lumalive fabrics
from prototypes to integrated products has been a major challenge,” said Bas Zeper, Managing
Director of Photonic Textiles, Philips Research. “The light emitting textiles have to be flexible,
durable and operated by reasonably compact batteries. Fitting all that into a comfortable,
lightweight garment is a considerable engineering success.”
