Claims26
A container for storage wherein an organic light emitting device is provided on a surface thereof or as part of a wall thereof such that light emitted from the organic light emitting device is visible from the exterior of the container.
A container for storage according to any preceding claim further comprising at least one means for operating the organic light emitting device.
A container for storage according to any preceding claim wherein the organic light emitting device is removably attached to a surface of the container for storage.
A container for storage according to any preceding claim wherein the organic light emitting device comprises a substrate in contact with one electrode and an encapsulant in contact with the other electrode wherein the substrate or encapsulant is provided by a wall of the electroluminescent device.
A container for storage according to any preceding claim wherein the container is a container for storage of audio and/or video storage media.
A container for storage according to any preceding claim that further comprises a power source that provides a voltage of less than 20V for operation of the organic light emitting device.
A container for storage according to any preceding claim wherein the organic light emitting device is provided on an inner surface of a transparent wall of the container for storage.
A kit comprising a container for storage and at least one organic electroluminescent device attachable to at least one surface of said container for storage such that light emitted from the organic light emitting device is visible from the exterior of the container when the kit is assembled.
A plurality of units, each unit having:
- a first side and an opposing second side,
- a light source on said first side such that light emitted from the light source is visible from the exterior of the unit, and
- a detection means on said first side
- wherein said plurality of units is arranged in a stack such that the first side of at least one of the endmost units of the stack faces outward, and wherein the light source provided on said at least one endmost unit is activatable in response to a signal from the detection means provided on said at least one endmost unit, all other light sources within the stack being deactivated.
