  • Electroluminescent filament
    Patent number: 5753381
    Abstract: An electrically activated light emitting cylindrical or other shaped composite filament. A core conductor is optionally surrounded by a first optional insulation layer, surrounded by an electrode and an electroluminescent phosphor.
