Electroluminescent lamp with graphical overlay
An electroluminescent lamp is imprinted directly on a graphic indicia layer.
1 . A graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp comprising:
a film including graphic indicia printed thereon; and
an electroluminescent lamp having a front surface and a back surface, said front surface being imprinted on said film.
2 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 1 wherein said front surface of said lamp includes an insulating layer.
3 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 1 wherein said back surface of said lamp includes an insulating layer.
4 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 1 wherein said graphic indicia includes an alpha display.
5 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 1 wherein said graphic indicia includes a numeric display.
6 . A graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp comprising:
a deformable substrate having a front surface and a back surface;
graphic indicia imprinted on said deformable substrate; and
an electroluminescent lamp having a front surface and a back surface, said front surface being imprinted on said back surface of said deformable substrate.
7 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 6 wherein said graphic indicia is imprinted on said front surface of said deformable substrate.
8 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 6 wherein said graphic indicia is imprinted on said back surface of said deformable substrate.
9 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 6 wherein said front surface of said lamp includes an insulating layer.
10 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 9 wherein said back surface of said lamp includes an insulating layer.
11 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 10 wherein said front surface and said back surface insulating layers of said lamp form an envelope for enclosing said lamp.
12 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 6 wherein said graphic indicia is imprinted on said front surface and said back surface of said deformable substrate.
13 . A graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp comprising:
a flexible substrate having a front surface and a back surface;
graphic indicia imprinted on said flexible substrate;
an electroluminescent lamp enclosed in a insulating envelope, said envelope having a top layer having a front surface and a back surface and a bottom layer having a front surface and a back surface; and
said front surface of said top layer of said envelope being imprinted on said flexible substrate.
14 . The graphical overlay and electroluminescent lamp of claim 13 wherein said graphic indicia is imprinted on said front surface of said flexible substrate.
