IIluminated display system and process

Abstract

An Illuminated display integrated with a fabric substrate, comprising a rear electrode formed on a portion of a front surface of the fabric substrate, the rear electrode being formed on the fabric substrate portion by applying a catalyst to the fabric portion and subsequently immersing the fabric portion in an electroless plating bath followed by immersing the fabric portion in an electrode bath, a dielectric layer formed onto the fabric substrate surface substantially over the rear electrode, a light emitting layer formed onto the dielectric layer, a transparent conductive layer formed onto the light emitting layer; and a front electrode lead electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer to transport energy thereto.

1 . A method for forming an insulative conformal coating around an electrically conductive fabric substrate, comprising: 
 placing the fabric substrate in electrophoretic liquid;    placing a counter electrode in the electrophoretic liquid;    applying a voltage to the substrate and the counter electrode; and    wherein the insulative conformal coating is formed around the substrate.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric substrate is made from materials comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of cotton, polyester, nylon, and high-density polyethylene.
