Abstract
An audio device or sound pick-up device includes a three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting element triggered by an audio or sound signal generated or processed by the device.
Claims28
An audio device comprising:
- an audio circuit having an output for audio signals representative of a sound source;
- an illumination arrangement including a three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting element, said three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting element being arranged to emit light in multiple directions, and wherein a center conductor and a coaxial outer conductor of the three-dimensional lighting element, which are electrically connected to an output of the audio circuit;
- and
- said three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting element providing illumination in response to audio output signals of said audio circuit over an arc angle of from 10° to 360°.

A sound pick-up device with three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting elements, comprising:
- circuit means for converting sounds received by said device from a sound source into trigger signals capable of triggering said three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting elements;
- said three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting elements being arranged to emit light in multiple directions, and wherein a center conductor and a coaxial outer conductor of the three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting element comprise wires stripped to form terminals of the three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting element, which are electrically connected to an output of an audio circuit;
- and
- attachment means for attaching the three-dimensional electro-luminescent lighting elements to a main object to provide illumination responsive to said trigger signals over an arc angle off from 10° to 360°.
