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： A method for forming an electroluminescent lamp unit including the following steps. A multi-layer sheet-form electroluminescent lamp is provided. The multi-layer sheet form lamp (40) includes a pair of sheet-form conductive layers (44) and (50), one of which is transparent for transmitting light emitted from the particles, an electroluminescent sheet-form layer (46) disposed between the pair of sheet-form conductive layers and having electroluminescent particles, and a carrier substrate (42) for supporting the pair of sheet-form conductive layers and electroluminescent sheet-form layer. The multi-layer sheet form lamp is heated at a temperature sufficient for maintaining the operational integrity of said carrier substrate and the thermoplastic layers. The multi-layer sheet form lamp is then formed into a desired three-dimensional shape.

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.
