Abstract
A layer of a material is deposited onto a substrate of an electroluminescent lamp in accordance with a desired image. An action is performed to the material to render the material at least partially tacky. Electroluminescent powder is deposited onto the substrate. The electroluminescent powder adheres to the substrate where the material has been deposited thereon.
Claims39
A method comprising:
- depositing a layer of a material onto a substrate of an electroluminescent lamp in accordance with a desired image;
- performing an action to the material to render the material at least partially tacky;
- and,
- depositing electroluminescent powder onto the substrate, the electroluminescent powder adhering to the substrate where the material has been deposited thereon.
1 more element
An electroluminescent lamp formed by performing a method comprising:
- inkjet-printing a first layer of a material onto a substrate of the electroluminescent lamp, in accordance with a desired image;
- partially curing the material to render the material at least partially tacky;
- depositing electroluminescent powder onto the substrate such that the electroluminescent powder substantially adheres to the substrate only where the material has been inkjet-printed thereon;
- inkjet-printing a second layer of the material onto the substrate in accordance with the desired image;
- and,
- fully curing the material.
3 more elements
An electroluminescent lamp comprising:
- a substrate;
- a curable layer inkjet-printed on the substrate in accordance with a desired image;
- an electroluminescent powder layer adhering to the curable layer.
An electroluminescent lamp comprising:
- a substrate;
- a electroluminescent powder layer having a pattern in accordance with a desired image;
- and,
- means for adhering the electroluminescent powder layer to the substrate in accordance with the desired image and applied in at least two layers.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- providing an electroluminescent lamp having an electroluminescent luminescent material layer having a pattern in accordance with a desired image and formed by utilizing a plurality of ultraviolet light-curable monomer lights inkjet-printed on a substrate of the electroluminescent lamp in accordance with the desired image;
- and,
- turning on the electroluminescent lamp, such that light emits therefrom in accordance with the desired image of the pattern of the electroluminescent luminescent material layer.
