Disclosed herein is a textile using light. The textile unit comprises a heating unit having a shape of dot or stripe on a surface of a fabric and non-heating unit being not overlapped with the heating unit. The heating unit is formed by coating carbon nanotube (CNT) or group-4 metal carbide in a shape of dot or stripe. The heating textile sheet using light according to the present invention has excellent heat efficiency by converting light such as solar cell into thermal energy.
