Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of a Multifunctional Jacket with Optoelectronic Effects

Abstract

The modified innovative product design and development method has been developed and used for a design work of innovative and multifunctional jackets with optoelectronic technologies in a previous study. There were six items of key design themes were found out, including practicality, aesthetics, portability, washability, multifunction and composability. In this study, a design strategy and solution was proposed and a multifunctional jacket with optoelectronic function was completed. Finally, a survey with questionnaire was executed and analyzed for evaluation and verification of the design achievement. According to the consequence of data analysis, the performances of a new innovative and multifunctional jacket of this study are better than those of a traditional jacket.
