Abstract
An electroluminescent device is disclosed having a layout particularly suited for plug compatibility. The device includes a polymeric substrate having a first conductor fixed to the substrate. The first conductor is spaced inwardly from the edges of the substrate in a preselected pattern to form a first electrode. A luminescent coating covers a first portion of the first electrode leaving at least one edge of the first electrode uncovered. The luminescent coating extends across a second edge of the first conductor and onto the substrate. A pair of second conductors are situated adjacent to each other on the substrate at a preselected distance. One of the pair of the second conductors covers substantially the whole of the luminescent coating and extends across the second edge onto the substrate. The other of the pair of second conductors extends along the one edge of the first conductor and on into the substrate. Preferably the pair of second conductors are simultaneously deposited in position by a second screen printing.
