Silga breaks through the wall of light with the Electroluminiscence (EL) in Printed Electronics

Since a couple of months within the Technological Study Center the first electroluminiscent displays have been turned on.
EL is the most efficient technology for applications where a minumum of thickness, flexibility, shapability and a widespreaded uniform brightness with a low consumption is required.
The uniform lighting features are the total absence of graininess, in effect it’s not point- like as LEDs.
The EL displays have a lighting uniformity till 10 times more compared to the LED back light in each point. They have a possibile thickness also under the 0,3mm, they are flexible and recutable.
In a few words the possible applications: a WIDESPREADED light, a FLEXIBLE DEFORMATION, ideal for BACK LIGHTING.
EL displays present themselves as plastic luminescent sheets with a thickness of about 0,3mm or less, light weighted, starting from 2gr. Appliable with different shapes and dimensions, even for heavy use, thanks to their resistance at vibrations and at high acceleration values. These are perfect for making custom applications and, most importantly, can be bent and shaped easily.
These features make them ideal for creating and experimenting new types of lighting. But Silga’s research does not stop. If EL is the most flexible light diffusion tool, the Italian research center is already studying electronic intelligence solutions applied to EL. In fact, at the Electronica Fair at Munich in November 2022,
Silga exposed the first 7-segment electroluminescence display, which raised great interest and a turning point among Printed Electronics applications compared to traditional electronics.
