摘要： An electroluminescent lamp unit includes a flat deformable substrate (35) of preselected size having smaller sheet-form flexible electroluminescent lamps (40) secured face-to-face at preselected positions on a surface of the substrate (35), the lamps (40) connected with conductive traces (36) on the substrate (35). The flat substrate (35) with secured lamps (40) can be deformed into a desired shape to provide a relatively inexpensive and reliable electroluminescent lamp unit applicable for a wide variety of applications. The flexible electroluminescent lamps (40) of the unit can be individually addressable and may have different colors or intensities. A method of manufacture of such units employs surface mount technology in an automated version, pick and place robots select and place the lamps as instructed, followed by ultrasonic welding (Fig. 3A-3D) or mechanical (Fig. 9) or adhesive fastening (Fig. 10).

摘要： An electroluminescent (EL) lamp assembly (24) includes EL lamps (40) of selected limited size placed and secured upon a larger printed circuit substrate (35) employing surface mount techniques. The EL lamp assembly (24) includes a substrate (35) having a relatively large lamp receiving surface and relatively smaller lamps (40). At least one of these smaller lamps (40) is a multi-layer sheet-form EL lamp having a sheet-form layer containing EL particles, the layer disposed between a pair of sheet-form conductive layers, one of which is transparent for transmitting light emitted from the particles. The EL lamps (40) each have conductors (41a) exposed for engagement and connection with the conductive traces (36) on the lamp receiving surface of the substrate in a surface mounted face-to-face relationship according to a preselected illumination pattern and connected to the conductive traces.

摘要： A movable pointer (10, 80) includes an elongated, translucent substrate (12, 82) having an EL lamp (11, 81) covering one side of the substrate. The pointer emits light from an adjoining, narrower, front side (17, 87) which is roughened slightly. The ends of the substrate are capped or coated (15, 85) to prevent light emission. A second EL lamp (83) can be attached to a second side of the substrate. The width of the EL lamp can be tapered to provide a pointer which is brighter at one end than at the other. Electrical connection to the EL lamp is made with a compliant ribbon (31) having conductive stripes (37, 38) on one or both sides thereof. The ribbon is mechanically and electrically attached to contacts (41, 42) on the EL lamp.
