'''Electronic textiles''' or '''e-textiles''' are [[fabric]]s that enable [[Electronics|electronic]] components such as batteries, lights, sensors, and [[Microcontroller|microcontrollers]] to be embedded in them. They are not to be confused with [https://smarttextiles.se/en/ smart textiles],<ref>{{Cite web |title=smarttextiles.se › startsida |url=https://smarttextiles.se/en/ |access-date=2022-10-14 |website=Smart Textiles |date=December 2021 |language=en-US}}</ref> which are fabrics that have been developed with new technologies that provide added value.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/jom/0507/byko-0507.html|title=The Materials Science and Engineering of Clothing}}</ref> Many smart clothing, [[wearable technology]], and [[wearable computing]] projects involve the use of e-textiles.<ref>{{Cite journal|title = Smart textiles: Challenges and opportunities|journal = Journal of Applied Physics|date = 2012-11-01|issn = 0021-8979|pages = 091301–091301–14|volume = 112|issue = 9|doi = 10.1063/1.4742728|first1 = Kunigunde|last1 = Cherenack|first2 = Liesbeth van|last2 = Pieterson|publication-date = 7 November 2012|bibcode = 2012JAP...112i1301C|s2cid = 120207160|url = https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/62e2/6dad97b54cd43ba8c1a98bdaf99fd73c0c76.pdf|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200213113549/https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/62e2/6dad97b54cd43ba8c1a98bdaf99fd73c0c76.pdf|url-status = dead|archive-date = 2020-02-13}}</ref>
Electronic textiles are distinct from [[wearable computing]] because the emphasis is placed on the seamless integration of textiles with electronic elements like [[Microcontroller|microcontrollers]], sensors, and [[Actuator|actuators]]. Furthermore, e-textiles need not be wearable. For instance, e-textiles are also found in interior design.
