A fiber-based polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) is demonstrated using dip coating, which is widely used in the textile industry. The fiber PLED shows high luminance (>1000 cd m−2) and low operating voltages (<10 V) and is safely integrated into electronic textiles. This solution process allows for low-cost mass production by roll-to-roll manufacturing.
