Flexible Aluminum Electroluminescent Display - No Transparent Conductor Needed

And one more thing i want this idea to the next level i need the assistance how many watts the layer per cm square is consumed? and how can the brightness of light can improved????

Very nice efforts what are the other alternative illuminating ink please let me know... thanks... oh i like positive approach of seeing thinks !!!!

That offers so many possibilities, and your use of an erstwhile warning sticker is resonating with me. This along with EL wire might be a suitable means to offer low/no-light guidence, and since there is current flow it could be tested for my automated devices as well.

Bravo, very well done.

This is so kewl that it forced me to get an account just so I could tell you that. lol Awesome stuff!

this should also work with an ultrasound cleaner to porate the aluminium.
not as well but just takes a bit longer.

Dielectric Ink = Dielectric Grease? :o

This is so cool! I have got to try and make something with that electroluminescent phosphorous!
Please tell me, where can you get it?!

Good job.
Does it require high voltage AC supply?

Electronician in reply to angel91250Nov 18, 2010. 12:57 PM

She said 20V limited to 1A.

angel91250 in reply to ElectronicianNov 18, 2010. 3:55 PM

NONONO...What you said is electrolysis(video 1:05). But what I want to know is...how could she make it emit light(video 2:10)?

No, that's just for the etching. For actually powering it, I'm pretty sure it uses a HV AC power supply.

About 100v AC at about 1000hz.

That is just the COOLEST thing I have been e-mailed in a long time!!!

A fantastic example of true science, turning a failure into something new, useful, and creative.

Like Post-It notes, microwaves for cooking, Teflon, and penicillin.

How about a bill of materials and suggested sources?

Do you have a supplier address for the dielectric insulator. And exactly what should we be googling for? dielectric insulator comes up with a gazillion types - yours looked like a paste of some sort?

Nice work, very cool.

mandanao says: Nov 18, 2010. 9:47 AM

Really a nice and clever design, compliments!

How much we had to wait for an Instructable concerning such a nice project?

I had some some difficulties to understand spoken English, sorry!

(And please accept my apologies for my horrible written English,too...)

You are very illuster :-)

Is there anything so attractive as an intelligent woman with a sexy voice? Brilliant project.

Jeri, you need to start including links back here on the videos! I saw this on YouTube yesterday but had completely forgotten you were on Ibles, too!

Very nice, by the way. I'm hoping for more porous aluminum foil projects.
