Abstract:
A method of forming an electroluminescent lamp, comprising:providing a multi-layer, sheet form electroluminescent lamp including: a pair of sheet-form conductive layers, one of which is transparent for transmitting light, an electroluminescent sheet-form layer disposed between the pair of sheet-form conductive layers and having electroluminescent particles, a carrier substrate for supporting the pair of sheet-form conductive layers and electroluminescent sheet-form layer, the multi-layer, sheet-form having a first three-dimensional shape; heating the multi-layer, sheet-form electroluminescent lamp at a temperature sufficient for maintaining the operational integrity of said carrier substrate, said pair of sheet-form conductive layers, and said electroluminescent layers; and deforming the multi-layer, sheet-form electroluminescent lamp into a desired second three-dimensional shape, different than the first three-dimensional shape.
