ABSTRACT:
The present invention is for touch activated electroluminescent lamps and displays having a flexible translucent or transparent substrate, a transparent electrode deposited onto the flexible transparent substrate, a phosphor layer over the transparent electrode, a dielectric layer over the phosphor layer, and a second electrode, which together form a lamp. A third electrode is separated from the second electrode by an insulating spacer having an open region configured to allow contact between the second electrode and the third electrode when pressure is applied to the flexible transparent substrate. For a touch activated display, a segmented second electrode is employed to allow selectively energizing regions of the display. In a two-staged embodiment, a fourth electrode is separated from the third electrode by an insulating sheet, and a fifth electrode is separated from the fourth electrode by a second insulating spacer which has a second open region therein, which is configured to allow contact between the fourth electrode and the fifth electrode when additional pressure is applied to the flexible transparent substrate.
