Abstract

Disclosed are thin, flexible electroluminescent lamps. The lamps comprise bubbles of a light emitting material distributed in a matrix. The bubbles can be formed as voids or transparent shells filled with a light emitting material. The bubbles may also include a conductive material and may be aligned in the matrix. Insulating material may be applied to the lamp's external electrodes to protect the lamp from the environment.
