Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a woven fabric woven from first constituent yarns as one of warps and wefts and second constituent yarns as the other, a part of the first constituent yarns are 2 to 15 side emission type optical fibers woven in juxtaposition, and, when the number of the side emission type optical fibers is 3 or more, a twist-preventing yarn having a diameter smaller than that of the side emission type optical fibers is interposed between the one or two side emission type optical fibers and the one or two side emission type optical fibers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A woven fabric woven from first constituent yarns as one of warps and wefts and second constituent yarns as the other, wherein a part of the first constituent yarns are 2 to 15 side emission type optical fibers woven in juxtaposition; and when the number of the side emission type optical fibers is 3 or more, a twist-preventing yarn having a diameter smaller than that of the side emission type optical fibers is interposed between the one or two side emission type optical fibers and the one or two side emission type optical fibers. 2. The woven fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the 2 to 8 continuous second constituent yarns intersect the side emission type optical fibers on a non-design surface side, and a light emission part is formed of the side emission type optical fibers appearing on a design surface side. 3. The woven fabric according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio (d 1 /d 2 ) of the diameter (d 1 ) of the side emission type optical fibers to the diameter (d 2 ) of the twist-preventing yarn ranges from 1.2 to 20.0. 4. The woven fabric according to claim 3 , wherein the ratio (f 1 /f 2 ) of the fineness (f 1 ) of the second constituent yarns to the fineness (f 2 ) of the twist-preventing yarn ranges from 0.05 to 20.0. 5. The woven fabric according to claim 4 , wherein the twist-preventing yarn is a multifilament made of a synthetic resin. 6. The woven fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio (d 1 /d 2 ) of the diameter (d 1 ) of the side emission type optical fibers to the diameter (d 2 ) of the twist-preventing yarn ranges from 1.2 to 20.0. 7. The woven fabric according to claim 6 , wherein the ratio (f 1 /f 2 ) of the fineness (f 1 ) of the second constituent yarns to the fineness (f 2 ) of the twist-preventing yarn ranges from 0.05 to 20.0. 8. The woven fabric according to claim 7 , wherein the twist-preventing yarn is a multifilament made of a synthetic resin. 9. The woven fabric according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio (f 1 /f 2 ) of the fineness (f 1 ) of the second constituent yarns to the fineness (f 2 ) of the twist-preventing yarn ranges from 0.05 to 20.0. 10. The woven fabric according to claim 9 , wherein the twist-preventing yarn is a multifilament made of a synthetic resin.
