Abstract:
An electroluminescent lamp (63), comprising:a flexible dome-shaped, light transmissive substrate (48) defining a top side and a bottom side thereof;a generally flat substrate (46) which substantially surrounds said flexible dome-shaped substrate (48), the substrate (46) being separated from said flexible dome-shaped substrate (48) by a peripheral cutout (50),an upper light transmissive electrode layer (54) below at least a portion of the bottom side of the dome-shaped substrate;an electroluminescent layer (58) below the upper light transmissive electrode layer (54); anda lower electrode layer (62) below the electroluminescent layer (58),whereby running electrical current through said upper and lower electrode layers (54, 62) causes said electroluminescent layer (58) to emit light through said upper electrode layer (54) and said flexible dome-shaped substrate (48).
