THIN FILM ENERGY FABRIC WITH LIGHT GENERATION LAYER
First Claim
1. A Thin Film Energy Fabric for the generation of light energy, comprising:
- an energy storage section configured to store electrical energy;
an energy release section configured to generate light emissions by utilizing the electrical energy stored in the energy storage section; and
an energy recharge section adapted to collect energy from a source located external to said material and convert the collected energy to electrical energy for storage by the energy storage section, for immediate use by the energy release section, or simultaneous storage in the energy storage section and use by the energy release section; and
wherein the energy storage and said energy recharge sections are encapsulated in a laminate to form a sheet-like material.

Abstract
The Thin Film Energy Fabric includes an energy storage section adapted to store electrical energy; an energy release section coupled to the energy storage section and configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage section and to utilize the electrical energy; and an energy recharge section, coupled to the energy storage section, adapted to receive or collect energy and convert the received or collected energy to electrical energy either for storage by the energy storage section or for use by the energy release section or simultaneous storage in the energy storage section and immediate use by the energy release section. The energy release section can provide electrical energy transmission capability to charge devices which are placed in a position juxtaposed to a surface of the Thin Film Energy Fabric. An optional protection section is provided on at least one side of the material.
