For how long will that light ?

@AccessNo EL has a life in the thousands of hours.

What range of supply voltage were you using? Thanks!!

[jeriellsworth]

@rwilkus EL lights up around 90v - upward. At a certain point your dialectric will breakdown. I didn't measure, but I'm guessing this is between 100v-200v

Could this stuff be made to work on a regular ink jet, or would the paint be useless if made thin enough to run through the jet mechanism? I have a sneaking suspicion the actual printer costs a fortune...

[jeriellsworth]

@KarriKoivusalo The particle size seems pretty big for an ink jet, but maybe a dusting scheme where the inkjet deposits the binder.

Hello Jeri, I've been very curious about electroluminescent displays every since I had to repair My Radioshack Pro-2003 display backlight (which is EL) I am in my First Year of Electronics Engineering at ITT Tech and was thinking of doing some display work with EL. Problem is the EL displays that you can purchase for repairing. seem to not last that long (eventually die out completely) and seem to dim quite alot over time. my ? is do these inks last long? and is EL improving any at all?...

Hi Jeri, your videos are great, keep them coming. I'm looking for a small el panel driver that will light up a 24cm square panel at its maximum brightness using a 350ma lipo cell. I'm not worried about shortening the life of the el panel a bit. Got any advice?
