Abstract

An electroluminescent night light which provides a single color or multi-colored display. The display is achieved by depositing, onto a conductive layer by screen printing pair of elongated electrical pins, a single film or one or more discrete phosphor characters of the same or different color. Also included is a novel construction feature, specifically, a `wrap around` means for securely joining the electroluminescent lamp to the plug assembly.
