In another embodiment, the control head provides the capability for a user to modify a configuration stored on the land mobile radio that defines one of several display modes to be utilized in generating data for use in forming images to be rendered on an electroluminescent display.

A light-emitting device includes a surface-light-emitting unit, a substrate, a holding sheet, and a sealing sheet. The surface-light-emitting unit has a light-emitting surface and a non-light-emitting surface, and emits light from the light-emitting surface. The substrate has a mounting surface and a non-mounting surface provided to be flush with the light-emitting surface, and has a power source mounted on the mounting surface. The holding sheet is provided to face the non-mounting surface and the light-emitting surface provided to be flush with the non-mounting surface. The sealing sheet is disposed on the side opposite to the holding sheet with respect to the surface-light-emitting unit and the substrate, and provided to cover the surface-light-emitting unit and the power source. The light-emitting device is disposed so that the holding sheet comes to the installation surface side. With such a structure, the light-emitting device that can be stably disposed on the installation surface is provided.

Provided is a light source device including: a planar light source provided with a light emitting curved surface; and an optical member that directs light from the light emitting curved surface toward a light emitting elongated region forming an angle with the light emitting curved surface.

The present invention has an object to provide a planar light-emitting panel attached with a jacket to protect edges of a light-emitting tile, while the jacket is prevented from being peeled off or removed from the light-emitting tile. The planar light-emitting panel includes the light-emitting using a glass substrate as a base, and an elastic jacket covering end faces of the glass substrate. An emission surface is provided on a front face of the light-emitting tile. The elastic jacket has a rear face side opening, on a rear face side of the light-emitting tile. On opening edges of the rear face side opening, when viewed from rear, a plurality of jacket side protrusions protruding toward a center side of the rear face side opening are formed. The jacket side protrusions are separated at predetermined intervals along the opening edges.

An electric light bulb type light source apparatus includes a light source unit with void area; a casing, with a conductive outer case and a translucent cover opposed thereto, which houses the light source unit; a circuit substrate, with at least an antenna mounted for receiving radio signals from outside the casing, housed in the casing; and a base, disposed on a side of the conductive outer case opposite to the translucent cover, for supplying power to the light source unit. The conductive outer case forms first area in the casing; the translucent cover forms second area opposed thereto. The circuit substrate penetrates through the void area so that the antenna is in the second area.

The present disclosure relates to an electroluminescent lighting device having high aperture ratio. The present disclosure provides an electroluminescent light device comprising: a substrate including an emission area and a non-emission area surrounding the emission area; a power line disposed in the emission area and defining an open area; a buffer layer covering the power line; an emission element disposed in the open area on the buffer layer; a link electrode overlapping the power line on the buffer layer, and having a first end connected to the emission element and a second end connected to the power line; a passivation layer deposited within a width of the power line covering the link electrode; an emission layer covering the emission area; and a cathode layer covering the emission area on the emission layer.

A light emitting device which inactivates microorganisms is disclosed. The light emitting device may include a flexible light emitting layer emitting a light; and a transparent or translucent layer over the flexible light emitting layer. The light may travel through and exit an exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer, creating an exiting light. The exiting light exiting the transparent or translucent layer may have at least a portion thereof having a wavelength in a range of 380 to 420 nanometers, and may disinfect the exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer. The light emitting device may be used alone to create a self-disinfecting high touch surface, e.g., on a door, or may be shaped to mate with other structure to create a disinfecting high touch surface.
