ELECTRO-LUMINANT FABRIC STRUCTURES

摘要

Luminant fabrics are disclosed in which an electro-luminescent material is activated by electrodes within the fabric. A particular yarn for use in such a fabric has a conductive core (40) having a layer (44) coated thereon. A conductive layer in the form of a strip or wire (48) can be disposed over the electro-luminescent layer (44), such that the application of a voltage between the core and the outer layer activates the luminescent material.
