Abstract
A method for producing electroluminescent textiles and to electroluminescent textiles produced accordingly is provided. A layer arrangement (10) of an electroluminescent textile comprises a textile substrate (1), a protective layer (2), a first transparent conductive layer or front electrode (3), a light-emitting layer (4), a dielectric layer (5), a second conductive layer or back electrode (6), a conductive rail (7), and a cover layer (8). As associated method is further provided.

A method for the production of an electroluminescent textile comprising the following steps:
- providing a textile substrate;
- optionally applying a protective layer on a surface of the textile substrate;
- applying a first transparent conductive layer on at least one of the surface of the textile substrate and the protective layer;
- applying at least one light emitting layer on the first transparent conductive layer;
- applying at least one dielectric layer on the at least one light emitting layer;
- applying at least a second conductive layer on the at least one dielectric layer;
- optionally attaching a plurality of connection elements to the first transparent conductive layer and the second conductive layer;
- applying a top layer on the electroluminescent textile;
- and
- electrically connecting the first transparent conductive layer and the second conductive layer to an electric power supply.
