Emirates Technical Innovation Centre

Emirates Technical Innovation Centre
The Emirates Technical Innovation Centre in Dubai designs AC electroluminescent displays and lighting. Examples are shown below. ETIC emphasizes the benefits of low energy consumption, flexibility and suitability for large areas. However, we are not too sure about the suggested apparel as this technology is not low voltage like the promised OLED lights. The specification is as follows
 
Lamp type: Flexible Thick Film AC
 
Cover Film: PET, Acrylic,
 
Brightness Uniformity: ± 15% (Typical; tighter tolerances possible upon request)
 
CIE Chromaticity (x,y): ± .03 (Typical; tighter tolerances possible upon request)
 
Half Brightness Time: 3,000 - 55,000* hours
 
Useful Life: > 10,000 / 100,000 hours
 
Nominal Lamp Operating Voltage: 115 / 380Volts AC
 
Nominal Lamp Operating Frequency: 400 / 12000 Hz
 
Max. Lamp Operating Voltage: 140 / 380Volts AC
 
Max. Operating Voltage Option: 115 / 380 Volts AC *
 
Max. Lamp Operating Frequency Option: 800 Hz
 
Max. Operating Frequency Option: 5000 / 12000Hz*
 
Lamp Capacitance: ~3 nF/in2 (@ 115 Volts, 400 Hz)
 
Current Consumption: ~0.9 mA/in2 (@ 115 Volts, 400 Hz)
 
DC Power Option: DC /AC Custom Inverter
 
AC Power Option: AC/AC Custom Converter
