electroluminescent
Light from voltage
Electroluminescent describes materials that emit light when electric current passes through them.
The technology appears in backlighting for watches, instrument panels, and safety signage—anywhere a thin, evenly glowing surface is useful: The electroluminescent strip outlined the emergency exit.
Unlike incandescent bulbs, electroluminescent panels produce light without significant heat.
