US Patent 7364315 Tubular electro-luminescent panel(s) light device

A tubular Electro-Luminescent light device offers desired bending directions with super brightness based on the predetermined width of a panel incorporated with a proper inverter system. The panel has a much narrower width than a tube means containing the panel to allow the panel to bend in any direction and angle within the tube means to provide desired light effects. The panel can be flat or twisted within the tube means, which in turn may have a desired colored, transparency, wall thickness, diameter, shape, or length. The device may incorporate non-elastic means, magnetic means, a tube holder, sensor means, and/or integrated circuit to add a wide variety of features.
