Electroluminescent materials are simply materials that light
up (luminesce) when electric current flows through them.
Invented in 1936 by Georges Destraiu, a French scientist, the
earliest electroluminescent wires were not flexible or bendy.
They were made of glass and rigid materials. When the glass
was replaced by plastic years later, it became more flexible,
waterproof, and less expensive. EL wire is made of the
following components:
A
Copper core: coated with a phosphor layer
B
Phosphor layer: a solid substance that lights up when
exposed to energy, like light or electricity. Phosphor
can be phosphorescent, which stays glowing after
the energy source is removed, or fluorescent, which
only glows while the energy is present and for a brief
moment after. Glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark stars are made of phosphor.
C
Twisted copper wire: wrapped around the phosphor layer
D
Inner PVC plastic sleeve: protects the inner contents and keeps them together
E
Colored outer PVC plastic sleeve: provides many different colors and a final
layer of protection
F
AC power source: provides electric current that flows through the wires and
provides the energy needed to make the phosphor layer glow

WHY DOES THE PHOSPHOR LIGHT UP?
Electricity excites electrons in the atoms in the
phosphor layer causing them to jump up to another
energy level. When they fall back down, they
release light energy, or photons. The back-and-forth
alternating current provides a continuous cycle
of energy to excite the electrons and make the
phosphor layer glow steadily. The current switches
direction at a high frequency, many times per
second. This high frequency is what gives the EL
wire its subtle high-pitched sound.
