ELECTROLUMINESCENT SUPPLEMENTARY-LIGHTING DEVICE HAVING THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONFIGURATION

摘要

An electroluminescent supplementary lighting device having three-dimensional configuration will typically have a curved front face (14), or a partial conical front face; or have the configuration of a truncated pyramid. The entire front face (14) is light emitting when the device is plugged into a wall receptacle. The front face (14) is translucent, and an electroluminesce nt panel having substantially the same configuration as the front face underlie s the front face within the attached interior of the lighting device. A connection tab extends from an edge of the electroluminescent panel into an enclosed volume within the lighting device, where connections are made to electrical prongs (16) so as to provide a voltage across the electroluminescent phosphor lying within the electroluminescent panel betwee n the electrically conductive front and back sheets.
