Researchers at the National University of Singapore have woven what they call the world's first touchscreen made from thread, published in Nature on 21 October 2026.

The screen is woven from 54 fibres. Each fibre is both a line of pixels and a touch sensor.

  • 96×54 full-colour display at 30 fps
  • Multi-touch input
  • Demo apps: calculator, gallery, video, compass and voice commands

Built for real clothes

  • After 50 machine washes, performance was almost unchanged
