Abstract

A jacquard weave structure with a gradational light-emitting effect includes: a plurality of opaque wires, a plurality of flexible transparent wires, and a light-emitting module. The flexible transparent wires respectively interweaves with the opaque wires each other, for one part of the flexible transparent wires being covered by the opaque wires and other part of the flexible transparent wires being exposed out to form a predetermined arrangement shape. The light-emitting module is disposed beside end sides of the flexible transparent wires. Thereby, when the light-emitting module provides light source and transmits the light source into the flexible transparent wires, the one part of the flexible transparent wires becomes a covered dark area and the other part of the flexible transparent wires becomes a shining bright area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A jacquard weave structure with a gradational light-emitting effect, comprising:
 a plurality of opaque wires;   a plurality of flexible transparent wires respectively interweaved with the opaque wires each other, for one part of the flexible transparent wires being covered by the opaque wires and other part of the flexible transparent wires being exposed out to form a predetermined arrangement shape; and   a light-emitting module disposed beside end sides of the flexible transparent wires;   whereby, when the light-emitting module provides light source and transmits the light source into the flexible transparent wires, the one part of the flexible transparent wires becomes a covered dark area and the other part of the flexible transparent wires becomes a shining bright area.   
   
   
       2 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the opaque wires are chemical yarns. 
   
   
       3 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are optical fibers. 
   
   
       4 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are made of transparent thermoplastic material. 
   
   
       5 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each flexible transparent wire is selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, polystyene, polymethyl methacrylate, MMA-styrene Copolymer, thermoplastic Polyurethane and ethylene vinyl acetate. 
   
   
       6 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are regularly interweaved with the opaque wires each other respectively. 
   
   
       7 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are irregularly interweaved with the opaque wires each other respectively. 
   
   
       8 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting module is composed of a light-emitting unit and a control unit for controlling the light-emitting unit. 
   
   
       9 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the end sides of the flexible transparent wires are bound to form a light source inlet, and the light source of the light-emitting unit is projected toward the light source inlet. 
   
   
       10 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting module is composed of a plurality of light-emitting units and a control unit for controlling the light-emitting units. 
   
   
       11 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the end sides of the flexible transparent wires are bound to form a plurality of light source inlets, and the light source of each light-emitting unit is projected toward the corresponding light source inlet. 
   
   
       12 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined arrangement shape is characters, numbers, stripes, or figures. 
   
   
       13 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined arrangement shape is a continuous arrangement shape. 
   
   
       14 . The jacquard weave structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined arrangement shape is a discontinuous arrangement shape. 
   
   
       15 . A method for manufacturing a jacquard weave structure with a gradational light-emitting effect, comprising:
 designing a shining bright area with a predetermined arrangement shape;   respectively interweaving a plurality of flexible transparent wires with a plurality of opaque wires each other, for one part of the flexible transparent wires being covered by the opaque wires to form a covered dark area, and other part of the flexible transparent wires being exposed out to form the shining bright area with the predetermined arrangement shape; and   disposing a light-emitting module beside end sides of the flexible transparent wires for providing light source and transmitting the light source into the flexible transparent wires.   
   
   
       16 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the opaque wires are chemical yarns. 
   
   
       17 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are optical fibers. 
   
   
       18 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are made of transparent thermoplastic material. 
   
   
       19 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein each flexible transparent wire is selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, polystyene, polymethyl methacrylate, MMA-styrene Copolymer, thermoplastic Polyurethane and ethylene vinyl acetate. 
   
   
       20 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are regularly interweaved with the opaque wires each other respectively. 
   
   
       21 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the flexible transparent wires are irregularly interweaved with the opaque wires each other respectively. 
   
   
       22 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the light-emitting module is composed of a light-emitting unit and a control unit for controlling the light-emitting unit. 
   
   
       23 . The method as claimed in  claim 22 , wherein the end sides of the flexible transparent wires are bound to form a light source inlet, and the light source of the light-emitting unit is projected toward the light source inlet. 
   
   
       24 . The method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the light-emitting module is composed of a plurality of light-emitting units and a control unit for controlling the light-emitting units.
