The curiosity daily news Apple has prepared many different bands for Apple Watch, and now Apple seems to want to make them smart.

The patent and Trademark Office of the United States approved an Apple patent called "woven display" on Thursday. In the patent document, apple describes a composite fabric made of light transmittance fibers, opaque fibers, and light emitting elements. It is hoped to produce a special strap that can be used to display information.

The cloth sounds a little similar to the smart material Project Jacquard, which is introduced at the Google I/O conference. Apples weave the transparent fiber and the opaque fiber in a certain way and direction. In order to be ductile and soft, it may also add third kinds of fibers (such as nylon, glass, etc.).

Two kinds of fibers interweave together two kinds of fiber together

The light transmittance fibers play the role of the display screen, light emitting elements like LED, because of the different weaving methods, the effect is also different, may be the whole fiber bright, or part of the opaque fiber covered and thus intermittently light.

In the document, Apple says it can be made into a detachable strap that can be used to display information like time, temperature, etc., and may be a reminder. The patent document also mentioned a device with a timing function that can be used by magnetic adsorption. It looks like the patent is for Apple Watch.
