Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fiber for enabling the connection of an electronic device, which is formed of a crosslinked conductive yarn and a non-conductive yarn, and an electronic fiber contains such a fiber. [Prior Art] At present, research on the field of electronic fibers is extremely vigorous, and although it is still difficult to find a large number of advanced electronic fiber products in the market, it is expected that many new products will be favored by consumers in the near future. An example of a product group that is expected to attract consumers in the month b is a product made from active luminescent fibers. Such fibers, which can be coupled to a power supply and, optionally, an LED controller via a conductor pattern provided in the fabric, can be used to make household fibers, such as Curtains or pillowcases, as well as clothes. In WO 03/095 729, a specific embodiment is disclosed in which a functional yarn system comprising a plurality of LEDs is interwoven with conductive and non-conductive yarns to form an addressable passive matrix display, wherein the LEDs are individually addressable. In a passive matrix type electronic fiber (such as the fiber disclosed in the literature referenced above), the column and row conductors supplied from a power source to a particular LED need to be complete to make the particular LED operational. This is quite disadvantageous for this type of electronic fiber because the fibers typically have to be cut to the appropriate shape and size to produce household fibers or garments. Therefore, there is a need for electronics that can be cut to size without losing its functionality. 125589.doc 200844284 OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above and other shortcomings of the prior art, the general purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved fiber for electronic device bonding. Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic fiber that can be cut to size without its functionality. 3 [Summary of the Invention] According to the present invention,

According to another embodiment of the present invention, at least a small portion of the sleeve formed by the amount of non-conductive warp yarns in the intermediate layer is greater than the amount of non-conductive warp yarns in the upper layer. . In this way, the 5th multi-layer weaving of the intermediate layer in the weaving is so large that it can form a stronger and stronger weaving. If set! : formed by the first set of conductive weft yarns, of course, the amount of non-conductive warp yarns that the collars formed around the intermediate layer are still more than the amount of non-conductive warp yarns in the lower layer. . For example, the shackle can be formed as a step through the weave so that the number of yarns around the starting portion of the ferrule is reduced to the number of yarns around the turn of the collar. In the simplest three-layer weaving case, the collar formed, for example, may surround three of the lower warp yarns, two of the intermediate warp yarns and one of the upper warp yarns.

According to a specific embodiment of the electronic fiber, each electronic device may comprise a light emitting diode. Each of the electronic devices may further include a stabilizer circuit for compensating for different features of the different light emitting diodes. In general, different LEDs have different voltages and brightness characteristics, so that different (even very different) current quantities will flow through without the stabilizer circuit. (4) LEI^ This will result in the LED matrix of the LED fiber. The appearance is inconsistent, which in turn makes the user feel the need. This stabilizer circuit can advantageously comprise a resistor. By having each LED in series with a resistor, the current through the LEDs can be limited and (somehow) normalized. The stabilizer circuit can further comprise at least - a transistor whereby the current flowing to the LEDs can be more effectively normalized. A better consistency can be achieved by implementing a so-called current mirror for each LED. 125589.doc • 10 - 200844284 [Embodiment] In the following description, the present invention will be described by having two warp layers and a specific (simplified weave layout - fiber). The invention of the invention is equally applicable to fibers having a greater number of warp layers and other types of weave layouts. Furthermore, the exemplary electronic fibers described below include LEDs. Obviously, this is not It should be considered to exclude electronic fibers having other types of electronic devices. Conversely, there are any types of electronic devices that are attached to the fibers according to the present invention (eg, sensing, lighting, and illuminating; The electronic fibers of the present invention should be considered as belonging to the present invention. In the following (4), the warp and weft (four) are repeatedly mentioned, and when weaving, the yarn extending substantially along the weaving direction is generally called a warp yarn. The yarn which extends substantially perpendicular to the weaving direction (vertical to the warp yarns) is called a weft yarn. Although the warp and weft yarns are usually perpendicular to each other, this is not necessarily the case and should not be The invention is considered to have only warp and weft perpendicular to each other
