ABSTRACT:
This invention addresses how an end user can create an electroluminescent device (1, 31) using basic components obtained by the end user as retail items. The layers or subassemblies (15, 17) are created first. Then the layers are assembled to form a completed device customized as selected by the end user. The subassemblies may be created layer-by-layer by thermal inkjet. Elements used typically will be made by manufacturers and sold commercially separately. This encompasses the printing of conductive patterns for electroluminescence on paper. In one aspect a display has a main body that may be permanent and useful indefinitely, while a part carrying the conductive pattern defining the display is readily removed and is replaced by another such part on which a new conductive pattern is printed. For tight contact with the main body, the display provides releasable pressure. Air pockets are minimized with a thin layer of highly viscous dielectric liquid.
