Provided is a method of manufacturing a mechanoluminescent fiber. The method includes the steps of: preparing an elastic fiber having a longitudinal groove on the surface thereof; forming a primer layer including a coupling agent on the elastic fiber; filling the groove of the elastic fiber with a mixture of a stress transfer substance and a stress luminescent substance; and forming a silicon adhesive layer on the elastic fiber of which the groove is filled with the mixture of a stress transfer substance and a stress luminescent substance. The silicon adhesive layer is 3-dimensionally bonded to the elastic fiber and the mixture of a stress transfer substance and a stress luminescent substance.
