Default Re: Driving a piece of electroluminescent tape in lieu of a magic eye

I'm sure I've seen a project somewhere with seperate segments of tape used, so I would say that is OK, just a matter of interlinking the pieces.

Voltage wise - 120VAC rms (can go higher), 50-2000Hz.

Higher voltage = brighter display but shorter life, same with frequency - yes, this stuff does "wear out".

Haven't played with this stuff quite a while now, was playing about with using it as backlighting in some moving coil meters.
