A COLOR CONVERSION TECHNIQUE FOR ELECTROLUMINESCENT LIGHT

Abstract

Efforts were made to develop electroluminescent (EL) lighting for the improvement of reliability and maintainability of systems and instrumentation requiring illuminated indicators, readouts, or displays. Simple and inexpensive color conversion filters were developed whereby a basic green or blue light can be readily converted to practically any desired color. This technique is capable of producing yellow, orange, or red light, of various shades, that maintains a relatively high level of brightness. It is accomplished at low voltage and frequency, and makes EL illumination acceptable for instrument panels or other applications where blue or green light would be objectionable. (Author)
