Abstract

This research aims to document the development of electronic textiles during different eras through the use of available resources, which include research, academic studies, commercial products and published patents.
Through previous studies, it was found that the innovation of electronic textiles takes place through three paths to integrate electronics into textiles, which are represented in the first generation, where electrical circuits were integrated into textiles, then the second generation by integrating sensors and sensors in textiles, and then the third generation, where the innovation of Functional fibers and filaments, and research has shown that the methods of incorporating electronics into textiles can have an impact on the properties of electronic textiles produced. The main tracks for the development of electronic textiles were also identified, which are concentrated in seven different areas - wearable textiles - sensors - electronic switches - lighting - temperature control textiles - methods of power generation in electronic textiles - programming of electronic textiles and clothing.
Although this research focuses on the history and development of e-textiles, it also includes recent trends of e-textile research in the coming years.
