WIPO Patent Application WO2000026890

A9

A system and method for changing the visual effect of an object or substrate (10) wherein the substrate (10) includes any object worn by a user, for example, such as clothing (15) or footwear (15), or objects used as a form of artwork (15) or articles of furniture (15). A display unit (45) having a visual effect and bonded to the substrate (10). A control circuit (30) is provided for configuration or the display unit (45). Power is provided to the control circuit (30) and the display unit (45) through a power unit (40). A different visual effect for the display unit (45) is selected using an input device (55) such as a remote control unit (20) or an input device (55) coupled to the control circuit (30). The input device (55) provides an activating signal for activation of the control circuit (30) according to preprogrammed instructions corresponding to the different visual effect. When the control circuit (30) is activated, the visual effect of the display unit is changed to the different visual effect according to the preprogrammed instructions, wherein the visual effect of the substrate (10) is also changed. Preferably, the display unit (45) includes a plurality of pixels (25) formed into a matrix and embedded on the substrate (10) using a silicon gel, thermosetting polymer or a variety of polymers.
