Abstract
An electric luminescence fiber (ELF) can be maintained in any desired shape and can be used in wider applications, and an ELF with high functions can be produced in a simple manufacturing process and at low cost. A flexible luminescence substance (10) produced by arranging electrode wires in electric luminescence powder, where the electric luminescence powder is coated with thermoplastic resin, thermosetting resin, or UV-setting resin. The coated resin (11) is hardened and stabilized in linear or other desired shape, and the electric luminescence substance (10) inside the coated resin is maintained in the desired shape.
Claims6
An electric luminescence fiber, comprising
- a flexible electric luminescence powder,
- electrode wires arranged in said in electric luminescence powder,
- a resin coating around said electric luminescence powder and wires, said resin comprising thermoplastic resin, thermosetting resin or UV-setting resin,
- wherein said resin coating is sufficiently hard to keep the electric luminescence fiber stable in a desired shape,
- whereby the electric luminescence substance inside the coated resin is maintained in said shape and light is emitted from the electric luminescence fiber while in the stable desired shape.
