This research is aimed at exploring scientific and technological developments at the design and engineering interface of the broad textile industry. Developing smart textile designing methods and enlarging its assortment, in this research weaving method is used to find out how to combine fabric’s aesthetic and functional design in one pattern. In proposed solution two-dimensional flexible light-emitting textile display is designed with floats for electronic elements covering and electronic contacts insulation what at the same time provides an opportunity to develop aesthetic design of the display in the single piece construction of material. Display’s functional design is concerted with display’s visual design. Display consists of interwoven conductive yarns, insulating yarns and one or more light emitting devices attached to the conductive yarns, and may also contain one or more other electronic devices. For display electronic circuits design a matrix display construction is used with conductive yarns in weft and warp systems, some of which are partly integrated into the textile structure and partly form same or different lengths floats on textile right or left side.
