Abstract
Electronic devices () are mounted in sequence or series along a plurality of laterally spaced discrete lines () on a sheet of non-conductive flexible planar support material (). The sheet is slit or stripped between said lines to create at least two yarns each in the form of a strip bearing a series of said devices. The width of each strip can be substantially the same as that of the mounted device or devices and is normally less than twice that of the device or devices. The thickness of the support material is normally no more than 10 μm, and with the width of the devices typically being no more than 800 nm, a strip bearing the devices can thus be used as a yarn or strip for use in many applications, both functional and decorative, either alone or within a sleeve.
