Taiwan, the world's largest supplier of LED by volume, is marrying modern light-emitting diode technology with traditional textiles - to create wedding gowns which glitter and glow in the dark.

Created by the Taiwan Textile Research Institute, the secret to the luminous fabric lies in the yarn.

"Most LED yarn is hard, but we overcome that by making it soft. We (also) make it washable (and) wire the yarn in a way that can be used," said Taiwan Textile Research Institute president, Mr Bai Chi Chung.

Unlike many other existing LED yarns that are made by hand, Taiwan's LED yarn is already in mass production.

And by achieving economies of scale, it can be put to more practical use, rather than just to look pretty.

"When you ride your bike in the dark, the LED yarn will make you glow so that other drivers can see you," said Mr Bai.
