A lighting device for use on apparel includes a main body portion and a raised graphic portion at the front of the main body. Inside the device there is a graphic element in the raised portion that is translucent. Behind the graphic element and inside the main body of the device there is one or more lighting elements, a control circuit, and a battery. There is a power connector at a side of the main body, or in a remote connector, to charge the battery, and one or more switches either at the side of the main body or on the remote connector to allow a person to control the lighting operation of the device. The device is molded in the form of the graphic element and the graphic element, lighting element, battery, and circuitry are embedded in the molded body.

A light emitting diode (LED) backlighting source comprising at least one circuit board electrically connectable to a power source; a plurality of LEDs electrically mounted on the circuit board and able to be powered by a connected power source; wherein the circuit board is formed of a plurality of spaced finger portions and connecting portions wherein the finger portions and the connecting portions are electrically connected.

A method of advertising includes using light towers for new uses. Specifically, a skeleton may be employed to connect to a frame supporting at least one LED light from a frame connected to a mast of the light tower. The skeleton may locate a first display at a desired distance from the at least one LED light to backlight the first display. While first displays may be used with many embodiments, still other embodiments may have a second display as a vertically oriented display along a portion of the mast. The second display may deploy with the extension of mast portions for at least some embodiments.

The invention relates to a retractable lighting fixture, comprising an elongated drum rotatable over a length axis; and a flexible multilayer lighting sheet movable between a retracted position and a protracted position, with the multilayer lighting sheet in the retracted position being at least partially retracted in one or more windings around the drum and with the multilayer lighting sheet in the protracted position being fully unwound from the drum; the multilayer lighting sheet being composed of at least one LED layer and at least one diffusing optical layer, the at least one LED layer having a first LED layer edge mounted at a first mounting position of the drum and the at least one diffusing optical layer having a first optical layer edge mounted at a second mounting position of the drum, the first mounting position being located at an arc length from the second mounting position.

An electronic device includes a housing, a reflection member, a glass base board, a decoration pattern, a reflection membrane, a print circuit board, and a light emitting assembly. The reflection member is fixed with the housing and defines a through hole. The glass base board is positioned on the reflection member away from the housing. The decoration pattern is positioned on the glass base board. The reflection membrane is positioned on the glass base board around edges of the decoration pattern for shielding the glass base board and reflecting light. The print circuit board is received in the housing under the glass base board. The light emitting assembly includes a base board and a light source positioned on the base board. A first light emitting portion of the glass base board is positioned between the reflection membrane and the decoration pattern.

A cluster of lighting devices, a display and a method of manufacturing a display are described. The lighting device includes a mixing box, a light source, a transparent layer and a light diffusing layer. The light source is embedded in the mixing box. The transparent layer is adjacent to the light source. The light diffusing layer is adjacent to the transparent layer. A surface emitter display includes a cluster of surface emitters including a plurality of surface emitters. At least one circuit board is electrically coupled to at least one surface emitter of the plurality of surface emitters.
