detached from the sticker sheet and stuck on the luminous side of the
luminous disk. By this procedure, a personal and unique portable device
is formed. The disk pattern generation device can be a personal computer
and a printer, or any pattern output device.
-
FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial section view of the luminous disk
according to the first embodiment of this invention. It should be noticed
that the ratio of the sizes of the components in the drawing are not identical
with the ratio of the components of the life-size product. The luminous
disk 10 disclosed in this embodiment comprises a disk lamination 11 and a
light emitting lamination 13, which are combined together by glue. A
hole 12 is formed in the center of the disk 10 to be clamped for playing.
The disk lamination 11 comprises a flat substrate 113, and a metallic
reflecting layer 111 formed on the top of the substrate 113. The substrate
113 is generally made of a transparent plastic material. A pattern which
represents digital data can be formed on the substrate 113 for storing digital
data. Under this conformation, the disk lamination 11 serves as a
CD-ROM. The light emitting lamination 13 comprises an
electroluminescence section and a biasing section. The
electroluminescence section comprises a dielectric layer 134 and a
fluorescent layer 135, the upper surface and the bottom surface of the
electroluminescence section are able to receive an external electrical signal
applied via the biasing section. The biasing section comprises a
distribution layer 132, a bottom electrode layer 133 located between the
bottom surface of the electroluminescence section and the distribution layer
132, and a transparent electrode layer 136 located above the upper surface
of the electroluminescence section. The light emitting lamination 13 in
FIG. 3 further comprises a bottom protection layer 131 located below the
distribution layer 132 and an upper protection layer 137 located above the
transparent electrode layer 136. Each of the distribution layer 132 and the
transparent electrode layer 136 has an exposed area on its upper surface for
forming a first conductive terminal 151 and a second conductive terminal
152.
-
The upper and lower protection layers 131 and 137 are used for
protecting the light emitting lamination and can be constructed by any
proper transparent protective material, such as polymer hardened by
ultraviolet. The distribution layer 132 is a metallic layer formed by
electroplating or any other proper method. An exposed area on the upper
surface of the distribution layer 132 and adjacent to the hole 12 is formed
for forming the second conductive terminal 152 as an interface to the
external electrical signal. The part of the upper surface of the distribution
layer 132 other than the exposed area contacts with the bottom electrode
layer 133, a metallic layer formed by printing or sputtering, for transmitting
the electrical signal received from the second conductive terminal 152 to
the bottom electrode layer 133, and the bottom electrode layer 133 then
further transmits the signal to the bottom surface of the
electroluminescence section. The transparent electrode layer 136,
disposed above the electroluminescence section, is a light-transmissive
layer made of indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO) by
printing or sputtering. The transparent electrode layer 136 has an exposed
area that stretched vertically to cover the other layers of the light emitting
lamination 13 at the side of hole 12 for forming the first conductive
terminal 151 as an interface to the external electrical signal. It is
preferable to have a vertical insulating layer (not labeled) to isolate the first
conductive terminal 151 from the other layers of the light emitting
lamination 13.
-
By means of the bottom electrode layer 133 and the transparent
electrode layer 136, the external electrical signal received by the first and
the second conductive terminals 151 and 152 can be applied to the upper
and the bottom surfaces of the electroluminescence section.
-
The fluorescent layer 135 luminesces when it is biased by an
electrical signal It may be made of any proper fluorescence material or
electroluminescence material; no matter the material itself is organic or
inorganic, by printing or sputtering according to the material used. The
dielectric layer 134 of the electroluminescence section serves as an
insulation layer in case the electroluminescence section is made of
inorganic material.
-
According to the aforementioned structure, the electroluminescence
section will luminesce when an external electrical signal is applied thereon
via the first and the second conductive terminals 151 and 152, the
distribution layer 132, the bottom electrode layer 133, and the transparent
electrode layer 136. Moreover, the luminous disk 10 itself can store
digital data by means of its disk lamination 11 and thus can also be taken as
a data storage medium. Furthermore, when the disk lamination 11 of the
luminous disk 10 is being played, the light emitting lamination 13 can be
biased simultaneously by an external electrical signal and thus emit light.
-
FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial section view of the disk according to the
second embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the luminous
disk 20 comprises a disk lamination 11 and a light emitting lamination 13.
The disk lamination 11 comprises a substrate 113, a metallic reflecting
layer 111, and a dye layer 114 superposed between the substrate 113 and
the metallic reflecting layer 111 for forming a pattern representative of
encoded digital data under illumination of a laser beam. In this case, the
pattern corresponding to the digital data to be stored will be burned onto
the dye layer 114 by a laser beam after the luminous disk 20 is finished.
In other words, the disk lamination 11 serves as a CD-R. The light
emitting lamination 13 includes an electroluminescence section and a
biasing section. The electroluminescence section of the light emitting
lamination 13 of the luminous disk 20 is consisted of a fluorescence layer
135 and a dielectric layer 134. The biasing section of the light emitting
lamination 13 of the luminous disk 20 comprises a distribution layer 132
and a transparent electrode layer 136 located above the upper surface of the
electroluminescence section. The light emitting lamination 13 in FIG. 4
further comprises an upper protection layer 137 located above the
transparent electrode layer 136.
-
In the structure shown in FIG 4, the metallic reflecting layer 111 of
the disk lamination 11 serves not only as a reflecting layer but also as a
biasing electrode of the fluorescence layer 135, thus the bottom electrode
layer 133 and the bottom protection layer 131 in the structure of FIG. 3 are
omitted. Moreover, the transparent electrode layer 136 has an exposed
area on its upper surface adjacent to the hole 12 for forming a first
conductive terminal 151 as an interface to the external electrical signal,
while a second conductive terminal 152 is formed by an exposed part of the
distribution layer 132.
-
According to the aforementioned structure, when an external
electrical signal is applied thereon to the first and the second conductive
terminals 151 and 152, it will be delivered through the distribution layer
132, the metallic reflecting layer 111, and the transparent electrode layer
136. Then the transparent electrode layer 136 and the metallic reflecting
layer 111 transfer the external electrical signal to the upper surface and the
bottom surface of the electroluminescence section, thus it will luminesce.
-
FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial section view of the luminous disk
according to the third embodiment of this invention. The luminous disk
30 comprises a disk lamination 11 and a light emitting lamination 13.
The light emitting lamination 13 further comprises a biasing section and an
electroluminescence section However, the distribution layer 132 and the
dielectric layer 134 in the structure of the luminous disk 10 are removed.
Thus, the light emitting lamination comprises a bottom protection layer 131,
a bottom electrode layer 133, a fluorescence layer 135, a transparent
electrode layer 136, and a top protection layer 137. This structure is
especially for a light emitting lamination whose electroluminescence
section is made of organic electroluminescence material.
-
The first conductive terminal 151 is formed as a circle surrounding
the central hole 32 on the upper surface of the transparent electrode layer
136 without being covered by the top protection layer 137. The second
conductive terminal 152 is formed also as a circle surrounding the central
hole 32 on the upper surface of the bottom electrode layer 133 without
being covered by any other layer.
-
According to the structure of the luminous disk 30, when an external
electrical signal is applied thereon to the first and the second conductive
terminals 151 and 152, it would be delivered by the transparent electrode
layer 136 and the bottom electrode layer 133, and then the transparent
electrode layer 136 and the bottom electrode layer 133 further transfer the
external electrical signal to the upper surface and the bottom surface of the
electroluminescence section, thus make it luminesce.
-
FIG. 6 is an enlarged partial section view of the luminous disk
according to the fourth embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIG. 6,
the luminous disk 4 also comprises a disk laminatioin 11 and a light
emitting lamination 13. The difference between the structure of the
luminous disk 30 and the present structure lies in that the structure of the
luminous disk 40 does not contain a bottom protection layer 131, a bottom
electrode layer 133, and a top protection layer 137; this structure is the
simplest one of the luminous disk in the present invention and is good for
the light emitting lamination whose electroluminescence section is made of
organic electroluminescence material. As in the structure of the luminous
disk 30, a first and a second conductive terminal is formed as a circle
surrounding the central hole of the disk. The first conductive terminal
151 is formed on the upper surface of the transparent electrode layer 136,
and the second conductive terminal 152 is an exposed area formed directly
on the metallic reflecting layer 111 which is taken as a bottom electrode
here.
-
In this simplest structure of the luminous disk 40, when an external
electrical signal is applied thereon to the first and the second conductive
terminals 151 and 152, it will be delivered by the transparent electrode
layer 136 and the metallic reflecting layer 133 to the upper surface and the
bottom surface of the fluorescence layer 135 and make it luminesce.
-
The first and the second conductive terminals 151 and 152 could be
placed on the surface of the disk lamination 11 or on the surface of the light
emitting lamination 13 by through holes. The central portion of the
luminous disk 4 could serve as a positioning mechanism for combining to
an external luminous disk device.

spring thereon located at the opposing side positions of the bracing portion
73 are pressed, the two springs have the metallic pieces of the contact
portion 74 drawn close to each other and thus become able to pass through
the central hole of the luminous disk 10. After user passes the contact
portion 74 through the central hole of the luminous disk 10 and let go the
bottoms 76, the contact portion 74 recovers to the original separate state as
shown in FIG. 8(b), thus the combination of the bracing apparatus 71 and
the luminous disk 10 of the present invention is done. Moreover, because
the metallic pieces of the contact portion 74 tightly contact with the
plurality of conductive terminals of the luminous disk 10 when they
recover to the original separate state, thus the power can be conducted to
the luminous disk 10.

apparatus 81 and the luminous disk 10 can be used as an ornament on a
table. The luminous disk device 80 does not use battery power, instead, it
uses ordinary outlet as the power supply, and thus needs a rectifier for
transforming DC power from the outlet to a particular AC voltage and
current to replace the battery power.
-
Moreover, an aperture 86 provided on top of the bracing portion 82
so that a string can be passed through, and the luminous disk device
