electroluminescence - the past, present and future
DESCRIPTION
This slideshow is the history of Electroluminescent Lighting and the various applications, which include EL Wire, EL Tape, EL Paint, Elastolite, and Electroluminescent Panels. The presentation was given to an audience at the Ellumiglow.com workshop in August, 2014. More information can be found by going to http://www.ellumiglow.com.TRANSCRIPT

The Past
Discovered in 1907
Henry Joseph Round reported yellow light was emitted when a current passed through a silicon carbide detector.
Mid-Late 1930’s
First report published on the emission of light from zinc sulfide powders after applying an electrical charge.
1950’s
GTE Sylvania makes first EL Light (Nite-Lite) called Panelescent
1980s/90sChrisopher King (Beaverton, OR) developed EL Displays
at Planar Systems
