Product Description
Curve Polyester Back Lighted Colorful Electroluminescent Panels Membrane Foil Overlay
Electroluminescence (EL) is an optical phenomenon and electrical phenomenon in which a material emits light in response to the passage of an electric current or to a strong electric field.
EL or Electroluminescence is one of technologies that used to uniformly backlight overlays or membrane keypads. EL is applied on a very thin layer between the graphic overlay and the circuit. EL uses a printable ink deposit to illuminate the switch and provide a uniformed illumination.
EL panels are the big sister to EL wires – it has the same glow effect but with a flat shape instead of a round shape. The panel is a large sheet of flexible plastic coated with EL material so it is like one large glowing square. The EL panel emits an even and uniformed glow over the entire shape.
You can attach the panel by adhered it to the back of a flat surface. It is flexible but will crease and damage if folded. You can cut the panel up as long as the shape you cut out is continuous and has the cable attached.
The panel is a blue-green/aqua color when lit and is the brightest of the panels as it is the natural color of EL panel.
Like all other EL products, an inverter is required to operate the panel. Because EL tape has more surface area than wire, it requires a more powerful inverter. We suggest you use 4 x AAA inverter which is strong enough to power a single panel at once.
Kaikeʼs Electroluminescent Panels can be customised to illuminate in any size, shape, colour or sequence. Therefore this makes them ideal for eye catching retail displays or brightening up a counter top. Our EL Panels have been used in a wide range of bars and night clubs in both signage or architectural roles. These panels can be built into stone counter tops, tables or even floors. The list of applications of EL Panels is endless.
EL Panels emit light from 50VAC and increase in brightness with higher voltage up to 200VAC. Brightness increases with higher frequency up to 1000Hz. However we recommend that frequencies in the range of 400-600Hz and voltages of no greater than 160VAC are used. Otherwise the parallel panels life will rapidly deteriorate.
EL Parallel panels are supplied in standard format – A2, A3, A4 and Y1. Special custom sized & shaped format can also be ordered.
