ABSTRACT:
Integrated illumination systems employing illumination devices formed onto substrates are described. According to one embodiment, the display system combines an electroluminescent lamp, a photocell, a power supply receiving energy from the photocell and discharging electrical energy to the EL lamp, and, optionally, a control switch to manage the intervals of electrical energy discharge to the EL lamp for illumination; the components of the d lay system combining to provide illumination for an object, such as a sign. According to another embodiment, a photocell, power supply and light emitting device are each formed onto a single substrate to form a totally self-contained, self-powered illuminating device. According to another embodiment, an electroluminescent lamp is provided to form an illuminated decal. The EL lamp may be configured to have a front illumination surface and a back mounting surface, with a decal backing attached to the back mounting surface. The decal backing is configured to be affixed to various objects, such as vehicles, to provide an illumination source thereon. Alternatively, a magnetic material may be affixed to the back mounting surface of the EL lamp to replace the decal backing.
