Abstract: An exemplary light emitting apparatus comprises an illumination source and a secondary inductor. Exemplary illumination sources include electroluminescent panels or displays and light emitting diodes. The emitting apparatus is typically attached to or integrated with a display object, such as a merchandise package or container, and receives power through the secondary inductor, generated by a voltage or current in a primary inductor of a power regulator apparatus. A support structure, such as a point of purchase display, typically contains or supports one or more power regulators and display objects. The illumination source is adapted to emit visible light when the power regulator is in an on state and when the secondary inductor is within a predetermined distance of the primary inductor. In exemplary embodiments, the first and second inductors are substantially planar, and the illumination source may also be directly coupled to the secondary inductor.
