Abstract: The wiring board having terminals disclosed in this invention is aimed at providing a narrow pitch and downsized design for connecting circuit boards of various kinds of electronic devices. Each terminal 11 has an L-shaped or bar-shaped coupling section 11A having an uneven shape and held between a top substrate 6 and a bottom substrate 1.

Abstract: An EL element includes plural light transmitting front-electrodes forming plural lines by wiring and plural back-electrodes forming plural lines by further wiring. The front-electrodes are angled relative to the back-electrodes and a light-emitting layer is disposed between the front-electrodes and the back-electrodes. The EL element combined with a controller works as a lighting unit, which controls light emission at any place, so that a variety of lighting is realized by the lighting unit.

Abstract: An elecroluminescence (EL) element emits light from its both surfaces. The EL element is formed by printing front electrode layer, luminescent layer made of high dielectric resin with luminous powder dispersed therein, and rear electrode layer made of light-transmittable resin with conductive powder dispersed therein on at least one of surfaces of insulating film.

Abstract: An EL element includes plural light transmitting front-electrodes forming plural lines by wiring and plural back-electrodes forming plural lines by wiring. The front-electrodes cross with the back-electrodes at a given angle, and a light-emitting layer is disposed between the front-electrodes and the back-electrodes. The EL element combined with a controller works as a lighting unit, which controls light emission at any place, so that a variety of lighting is realized by the lighting unit.

Abstract: A lighting unit includes a switch device for performing electrical ON-OFF by depressing a pushbutton, and an EL device having light-emitting sections corresponding to the pushbuttons disposed at least one of above or under the switch device. The EL device includes an optically transparent electrode layer, a light-emitting layer and a backplate layer, where the respective layers are selectively laminated, corresponding to the light-emitting sections, on an insulating base. This structure of the lighting unit realizes visible lighting and allows the lighting unit to be assembled with less components and less steps of mounting components.
