Abstract
The present invention replaces conventional lighting devices, such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and LED lamps, with an integrated electro-luminescent film structure, subdivided into electrically isolated micro-panels. Ideally, the electro-luminescent structure comprises separate red, green and blue micro-panels providing a full range of color adjustment. Alternatively, the electro-luminescent film structure includes stacked groups of layers, in which each group emits a different color and is independently controllable.
