Abstract

An inverter is coupled to an EL lamp by a high pass filter including a series capacitor and a shunt resistor. The resistor is coupled in parallel with the EL lamp. The high pass filter has a time constant greater than 0.005 seconds and the capacitor has a capacitance at least ten times the capacitance of the EL lamp.
