Abstract: A laminated electrical switch includes an insulative substrate having a lower stamped metal circuit sheet supported thereon. The lower sheet includes a plurality of switch contacts and a plurality of leads for connecting the switch contacts to appropriate conductors. An upper stamped metal sheet is disposed over the insulative substrate and includes a plurality of embossed metal domes in registry with and spaced from respective ones of the switch contacts. Depression of a selected one of the embossed metal domes engages the dome with a respective one of the switch contacts to close a circuit therethrough.

Abstract: An electroluminescent lamp includes a flexible dome-shaped, light transmissive substrate defining a top convex side and a bottom concave side thereof. An upper light transmissive electrode layer is disposed on at least a portion of the bottom concave side of the dome-shaped substrate. An electroluminescent layer is disposed below the upper light transmissive electrode layer. A lower electrode layer is disposed below the electroluminescent layer. A method is contemplated whereby the layers are applied to the top of the substrate, the substrate is inverted and then formed into its dome-shaped configuration.
