Patent ID: 7737633

Claim:
An electroluminescent wire, comprising: a continuous base line; a metal layer coating onto said base line; a dielectric layer coating onto said metal layer; an luminous layer, comprising an electroluminescent phosphors and a YAG phosphors layer, coating onto said dielectric layer; an ATO transparent conductive layer coating onto the luminous layer; a protective conductive wire connected with the ATO transparent conductive layer; a fluoroplastic layer for sealing said ATO transparent conductive layer and protective conductive wire; and an outermost layer for encasing said fluoroplastic layer, wherein said fluoroplastic layer is transparent and said outermost layer is a plurality of transparent or translucent colorized plastic tubes; wherein at least one of said colorized plastic tubes is embedded with a metal wire having certain rigidity, wherein the metal wire is outside of the fluoroplastic layer.
