  • Electric luminescence fiber
    Patent number: 6686064
    Abstract: An electric luminescence fiber (ELF) can be maintained in any desired shape and can be used in wider applications, and an ELF with high functions can be produced in a simple manufacturing process and at low cost. A flexible luminescence substance (10) produced by arranging electrode wires in electric luminescence powder, where the electric luminescence powder is coated with thermoplastic resin, thermosetting resin, or UV-setting resin. The coated resin (11) is hardened and stabilized in linear or other desired shape, and the electric luminescence substance (10) inside the coated resin is maintained in the desired shape.

  • Electroluminescence fiber
    Patent number: 6617783
    Abstract: A flexible electroluminescence fiber has an electroluminescence device and electrodes disposed on both sides of the electroluminescence device. The surface of the electroluminescence device, including the electrodes, is covered with a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet-curing resin, which is then cured. The resin surface is integrally formed with a function-assisting portion for assisting the function of the electroluminescence fiber to retain the sectional configuration of the electroluminescence fiber and to attain ease of installation on a wall surface or the like and replacement, and ease of electrical connection, and ease of increasing the amount and apparent width of light emitted from the electroluminescence fiber.
