Abstract
An electroluminescent paint indicator for a fault or failure may include at least one layer of electrically conductive paint disposed on a surface within a system including the electroluminescent paint indicator, at least one dielectric layer disposed on the at least one layer of electrically conductive paint, at least one layer including an electroluminescent phosphor compound disposed on the at least one dielectric layer, and at least one layer of conductive coating disposed on the at least one layer including the electroluminescent phosphor compound. The electroluminescent paint indicator may be configured to activate following a determination of a fault or failure with the at least one layer of electrically conductive paint receiving power, the at least one layer including the electroluminescent phosphor compound being excited by the at least one layer of electrically conductive paint, and the least one layer including the electroluminescent phosphor compound generating an illuminated light.
