Luminescent end indicating tape

摘要

A luminescent end indicating tape comprising one or more base layers and an adhesive layer is disclosed. The one or more base layers provide support to the adhesive layer, whereas the adhesive layer comprises one or more fluorescent materials that convert at least a portion of incident electromagnetic radiation to a longer output wavelength. The adhesive layer redirects at least a portion of the longer output wavelength to at least an end of the tape, such that the end is illuminated with that of at least a portion of the longer output wavelength upon the tape being exposed to incident electromagnetic radiation. Further disclosed are methods of fabricating and using the luminescent end indicating tape.
