Lighting and/or signalling device, more particularly for an automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. Light-emitting source, the light-emitting source comprising:
- a plurality of electroluminescent rods of submillimetre dimensions configured to emit light, anda coating adapted for encapsulating the electroluminescent rods and for converting at least a portion of the light emitted by the rods into a converted light, the coating comprising;
a coating material in which at least a portion of the electroluminescent rods is embedded, anda conversion material adapted for generating said converted light from the light emitted by the electroluminescent rods, the conversion material comprising a plurality of phosphor grains, the phosphor grains being located in an area of the coating extending beyond free ends of the electroluminescent rods, and the phosphor grains having dimensions configured to prevent the presence of said phosphor grains between spaces delimited laterally between the electroluminescent rods.

Abstract
A light-emitting module for an automotive vehicle includes a light source including a plurality of electroluminescent rods, and a layer adapted for encapsulating the electroluminescent rods and for converting at least a portion of the light emitted by the rods into a converted light, the layer including a conversion sublayer extending beyond a free end of the electroluminescent rods, the conversion sublayer including a phosphor compound adapted for generating the converted light from the light emitted by the electroluminescent rods, the phosphor compound being in the form of grains, the dimensions of which are provided to prevent the presence of the grains between spaces delimited laterally between the rods, and an encapsulation sublayer in which at least a portion of the electroluminescent rods is embedded.
