  • Publication number: 20070161314
    Abstract: A method of making an electroluminescent (EL) light which includes at least one design. A flexible EL lamp is used which has a front electrode, a phosphor layer, a dielectric layer and a rear electrode layer. A pattern is cut out from the flexible EL lamp and at least one line is determined on the cut out to divide the design into at least two geometric areas, which are preferably of approximately equal size. A scribe line is cut into the rear electrode along such line, which forms split electrode areas in the rear electrode. Connecting devices are attached to each split electrode area, which are adapted to be connected to a power source. A method of making an EL light that is adaptable to be inserted into a channel, with the light having at least one indicia such as a letter, number, symbol or the like. A first form of the desired indicia is cut out from a plastic backing sheet. A second form of the desired indicia is cut out from flexible EL lamp of the form mentioned above.

  • Publication number: 20050186372
    Abstract: Molded articles which include at least one layer of a fluoropolymer and at least one layer of a thermoplastic polymer. More particularly, molded bottles having a layer of a fluoropolymer attached to a layer of a polyethylene via an intermediate adhesive tie layer. The molded articles are preferably formed such that the fluoropolymer layer is either the innermost layer or central layer of the multilayered structure. The adhesives that are employed are useful in adhering layers of dissimilar polymeric materials that are otherwise incompatible and achieve a significantly improved interlayer bond strength between a fluoropolymer layer and a thermoplastic polymer layer.

  • Publication number: 20050070196
    Abstract: A method for protecting an electro-optical device includes the steps of providing an electro-optical device including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an emitting layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, where at least one of the electrodes is optically transparent; and sealing at least a portion of the electro-optical device within a casing formed of a fluoropolymer, preferably a polychlorotrifluoroethylene film. Where the electro-optical device is provided with at least one wire lead extending from a peripheral portion of the electro-optical device, the method includes the step of protecting the wire lead from detrimental environmental conditions using a fluoropolymer. An environmentally sealed electro-optical device is also provided, including an electro-optical device and a fluoropolymer, preferably a polychlorotrifluoroethylene film, protecting at least a portion of the electro-optical device.
