ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an electrical connection of electrode leads externally extending from an electroluminescent light to conductors of a flexible lead one to one, characterized in that each of the electrode leads is bonded to a plurality of the conductors of the flexible lead in electrical communication. For instance, each of the electrode leads straddles two conductors in parallel, and is soldered to the two conductors. For another instance, each of the electrode leads obliquely extends from the electroluminescent light to cross over a plurality of the conductors. The invention makes it possible to make electrical contact between electrode leads and conductors of a flexible lead, even when a pitch between adjacent electrode leads is not consistent with a pitch between adjacent conductors. Thus, it is no longer necessary to prepare a specific flexible lead suitable only to a certain electroluminescent light. It is now possible to use commercially available flexible leads, which lowers fabrication cost of an electroluminescent light.
