Abstract: Jacquard fabric with higher technical requirements both in design and production is always regarded as top-grade product of woven textiles;and the broad application of digital technologies has been laying a foundation for creating innovative designs of digital jacquard fabric.In this paper,based on the investigation of development of digital textile and its outcomes,an in-depth analysis has been carried out to highlight the innovative factors both in design concept and method of digital jacquard.As a result,the study drew a conclusion that the essence of innovative designs on digital jacquard is that reinventing the structural design method via employment of digital technologies so as to form a creative effect of fabric.Besides,as an example,the structural design method of layered combination is taken to illustrate the essence of digital jacquard,which indicates the fact that the innovation of structural design can be considered not only an important method for creation of jacquard fabric but also one of the optimal standards for estimating the value of innovations in the field of digital jacquard designing.
