Patent ID: 8384288

Claim:
An electroluminescent fabric embedding an illuminated fabric display comprising: (1) a conductive fabric composed of: a) a base layer composed of a synthetic, regenerated or natural fiber; b) a primer layer composed of at least one selected from the group consisting of a water-dispersible polyurethane resin, a solvent-type polyurethane resin, an oil-soluble acrylic resin, a water-soluble acrylic resin and a silicone resin; and c) a patterned conductive layer being a mixture of a conductive material being at least one selected from the group consisting of a conductive polymer, carbon, a metal material and a binder being at least one selected from the group consisting of a water-dispersible polyurethane resin, a solvent-type polyurethane resin, an oil-soluble acrylic resin, a water-soluble acrylic resin and a silicone resin; (2) a fluorescent layer stacked on and in contact with the conductive fabric; (3) a dielectric layer stacked on and in contact with the fluorescent layer; (4) an interface electrode layer stacked on and in contact with the dielectric layer; and (5) a patterned bus bar stacked on the interface electrode layer, (6) an insulating layer is stacked on the bus bar, wherein the primer layer is formed on the base layer to maintain the thickness of the conductive layer at a constant level; and wherein the insulating layer is formed by at least one of coating, printing, laminating, or bonding at least one selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based resins.
