Portable light apparatus and method of attachment

摘要

An organic light emitting diode system is sufficiently thin and poser efficient to permit its attachment to different configurations such as pocketbooks, brief bags, suitcases and the like. At least one side of the OLED material can have an attachment mechanism to facilitate attachment to a surface in the area to be lighted. The system may include a portable power source that provides electrical power to actuate the OLED material, causing it to generate light. A switch connected to the battery can control power to the OLED material to switch the light on and off. The switch can be manually operated or automatic. The low power consumption of embodiments of the OLED apparatus also provides for unique applications and uses.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
exposing a securing mechanism for an organic light emitting diode; said light emitting diode being made of planar material having a length of at least 5 cm and a width dimension being equal to or less than the length dimension and configured to have a low profile of less than 10 mm in thickness; securing the organic light emitting diode material to a surface of an area to be illuminated; connecting a battery to a switch that is connected to the organic light emitting diode material, wherein the switch toggles the organic light emitting diode between and on and off position; said battery being connected via a battery holder to the organic light emitting diode for providing a voltage source of about 10 volts or less; said battery having a length and width dimension equal to or less than the organic light emitting diode; said battery, said organic light emitting diode material, said holder and said switch having a combined thickness of less than 10 mm; and removing said battery independently of said switch, said holder and said organic light emitting diode material for replacement or recharging.
