Used in safety and emergency lightning, toys, clothing, and structure decoration, eL wire is unique from other stringed lights in that it produces a continuous stream of unbroken visible light. the wire’s extreme thinness allows for great flexibility – fantastic for use in designing puppets.

  • Glowing Colors Lesson
    Glowing Colors Overview: Students explore how different materials absorb and emit light of different colors Essential Question: How can materials make light of different colors? Background: White light is composed of lights of different colors. Each color is carried by a light moving as a wave. Different materials reflect light of different colors, or they absorb light of other colors. If an object appears red, it because all the other colors besides red are absorbed and only red light is reflected. Some materials create light when they are energized by light, electricity, heat or by chemical reactions. This is called fluorescence. Some dyes or day-glo colors absorb light and emit a bright light of a new color like orange or yellow. Each wavelength of light carries energy. Ultraviolet light has the most energy and that is why it can give you a sunburn. A fluorescent light converts electricity into light which excites other chemicals coating the inside of the bulb which in turn create white light. Phosphorescence is a release of light that lasts for a period after the energy source is removed. Chemiluminescence is the emission of light from a chemical reaction for example the reaction of luminol with hydrogen peroxide in light sticks. Research Connection: Researchers spend much of their time manipulating chemicals and materials so they absorb or emit light in way that is needed for a device. It is desirable for solar cells to absorb all wavelengths of light so they can make full use of the solar spectrum. Similarly, LEDs can be adjusted so they emit light that matches our needs.

  • A Resonantly Driven, Electroluminescent Metal Oxide Semiconductor Capacitor with High Power Efficiency Vivian Wang and Ali Javey*
    Article www.acsnano.org A Resonantly Driven, Electroluminescent Metal Oxide Semiconductor Capacitor with High Power Efficiency Vivian Wang and Ali Javey* Cite This: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.1c05729 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Electroluminescence can be generated from a wide variety of emissive materials using a simple, generic device structure. In such a device, emissive materials are deposited by various means on a metal oxide semiconductor capacitor structure across which alternating current voltage is applied. However, these devices suffer from low external efficiencies and require the application of high voltages, thus hindering their practical usage and raising questions about the possible efficiencies that can be achieved using alternating current driving schemes in which injection of bipolar charges does not occur simultaneously. We show that appropriately chosen reactive electrical components can be leveraged to generate passive voltage gain across the device, allowing operation at input voltages below 1 V for devices across a range of gate oxide thicknesses. Furthermore, high power efficiencies are observed when using thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters deposited by a single thermal evaporation step, suggesting that the efficiency of a light-emitting device with simplified structure can be high. KEYWORDS: electroluminescence, alternating current, carbon nanotube, resonator, capacitor, light-emitting lectroluminescent devices, which generate light emis- We have recently shown that EL can also be achieved from a sion in response to electrical excitation, have been variety of emissive materials at relatively low AC voltages extensively studied and developed since the early (<100 V) using a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor E1 1900s.

    A Method of Illumination of Bicycles and Clothing by Mark Allyn [email protected] February 23, 2008 1 2 Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................................4 LED / Optic Fiber Assembly......................................................................................................................7 Bicycle Lighting System..........................................................................................................................20 Tips on Lighted Raincoats.......................................................................................................................23 3 Introduction I have been exploring ways of illuminating my bicycle and clothing so that I can be easily seen at night. My first attempts at illuminating clothing was by using Christmas lights, starting first in the 1960©s with strings of regular 115 volt Christmas lights. This had the severe disadvantage of requiring me to be close to a 115 vole electrical outlet. This made things very inconvenient. Furthermore, the Christmas lights of that era (1960©s) were tungsten (incandescent), which made them very inefficient. Following my attempts at lighted clothing using Christmas lights, I used Electroluminescent Wire, called El-Wire.1 The following diagram shows the basic operation of El-Wire: The high voltage / high frequency electrical current excites the phosphor. The phosphor emits light. The light passes through the colored PVC sleeve, giving you the color of the El-Wire. I encountered problems with El-Wire almost immediately after I started using it. 1 More information on El Wire is available at www.glowire.com or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_wire 4 The first, and most significant problem was that it was not durable enough to be used on clothing. It is fine for a stationary piece of art where it is not flexing all the time. For clothing, it would wear out, often after only one or two days of being worn on clothing.
