Abstract
According to the present invention, an electronic textile () is provided. The electronic textile comprises an electronic structure () including conductive wires () being at least partly spaced apart from each other and one or more electronic components () connected to the conductive wires. One or more gaps () are formed in the electronic structure between the at least partly spaced apart conductive wires. The electronic textile further comprises a fabric structure () including two fabric portions (), wherein the electronic structure is sandwiched between the two fabric portions. Further, the two fabric portions are joined together according to a bonding pattern including bonding segments (), the bonding segments being arranged in one or more of the gaps of the electronic structure such that the electronic structure is held in place in the fabric structure by the bonding pattern. With the present invention, the separation of the electronics from the fabric is made easier, which is advantageous in that waste sorting of the electronic textile is facilitated.
