Electrically conductive textile

Abstract

An electrically conductive textile includes an electrically conductive textile member and at least one electrically conductive element. The electrically conductive textile member includes a textile body and a plurality of electrically conductive wires that are woven into the textile body in a first direction and that are spaced apart from each other. The at least one electrically conductive element is attached onto the textile body in a second direction transverse to the first direction, and is electrically connected to the electrically conductive wires for adjusting a resistance value of the electrically conductive textile member.
