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
