electroluminescence
Electricity produces light
Electroluminescence is the emission of light from a material when electric current passes through it, distinct from incandescence (light from heat).
The phenomenon powers LED screens, glow-in-the-dark panels, and certain display technologies.
The dashboard's electroluminescent glow was visible even in daylight.
