Method and system for developing an electroluminescent sign

摘要

The described embodiments relate to methods and systems for developing an electroluminescent sign. In particular, described embodiments relate to methods and systems that process an image file to generate data for use in developing the electroluminescent sign. Further embodiments relate to an electroluminescent sign developed and/or produced in accordance with the described methods and/or systems. Certain embodiments relate to a method of developing an electroluminescent sign based on an image file. The method comprises processing the image file to generate image data representing at least one illuminating image layer and electrical configuration data, transferring the at least one illuminating image layer onto a substrate and configuring a luminescence controller of the electroluminescent sign based on the electrical configuration data. The configured luminescence controller cooperates with the substrate to provide a luminescent image based on the image file.

主权项

1. A method of developing an electroluminescent sign based on an image file, comprising:
(a) electronically processing the image file to generate image data representing at least one electroluminescent lamp and corresponding electrical configuration data, the electroluminescent lamp comprising a substrate, a front electrode layer, at least one illuminating image layer and a rear electrode layer, wherein the front electrode layer is applied to an inner face of the substrate, wherein the at least one illuminating image layer is formed on a rear face of the front electrode layer and forms one or more images to be illuminated, and wherein the rear electrode layer is formed on a rear face of the at least one illuminating image layer; (b) producing the at least one illuminating image layer on the front electrode layer of the electroluminescent lamp from the image data; and, (c) configuring a luminescence controller of the electroluminescent sign based on the electrical configuration data, wherein, in use, the configured luminescence controller controls voltage supply to the at least one illuminating image layer.
