  1. Electroluminescent Logo Cap Project Team # 10 Milestone # 3 –System-Level Design Review Team Members:Monica Pereira Monique Peregrina Liang Liufu IfedayoOgundana Faculty Advisor/Reviewers: Dr. Michael Frank Dr. Bing Kwan Dr. RajendraArora Sponsored by: Albert Daci

  2. Introduction/Overview of the Project • The purpose of this project is to design an original cap that implements electroluminescent technology. This cap will consist of a panel with flashing capabilities and with a hidden internal circuit. • Each cap will implement a switch with three states (turn on, flash, turn off) and be provided with an internal circuit with water resistant capabilities. In addition, the cap will come with a micro-USB charger hidden underneath the bill of the cap. Monica Pereira

  5. Overall Design Components • Fitted baseball cap • LiPo rechargeable battery • Battery charger • 10cm x 10cm EL panel • 3V DC battery inverter • IC chip • Liquid Encapsulating epoxy resin Monica Pereira

  6. Component selection The following components have remained the same: PRT-00339 Lithium Polymer Battery Monica Pereira

  7. PRT-00339 Lithium Polymer micro-USB Battery Charger The LiPo Charger Basic uses a Microchip MCP73831T-2ACI/OT charge management controller to charge 3.7V Li-Po batteries at a rate of 500mA per hour. The board incorporates a charging circuit, status LED, connector for your battery (JST type), and USB connector. A small mounting hole allows this charger to be embedded into a project easily.  Monica Pereira

  38. Li-Po Battery Performance • Safety Test • Test conditions: The following tests must be measured at flowing air and safety protection conditions. All batteries must standard charge and lay 24h.

  39. Cautions of charge & discharge • Charge • Charging current should be lower than values that recommend below. Higher current and voltage charging may cause damage to cell electrical, mechanical, safety performance and could lead heat generation or leakage. • Batteries charger should charging with constant current and constant voltage mode • Charging current should be lower than (or equal to ) 1A • Charging voltage must be lower than 4.25V • Discharge • Discharging current must be lower than (or equal to )2A • Discharging voltage must not be lower than 2.75V. • Over-discharge • It should be noted that the cell would be at an over-discharge state by its self-discharge. In order to prevent over-discharge, the cell shall be charged periodically to keeping voltage between 3.6-3.9V.

  40. EL Panel Specs Supply Current - Current in mA/cm2 versus supply voltage: As the supply current is increased for the EL panel, the supply voltage also increases. Figure 17 Supply Voltage vs Brightness

  41. The following factors have an impact on lifetime: • Higher Voltage • Higher Frequency • DC Supply • High Ambient Humidity • High Ambient Temperature Brightness can be increased by using a higher voltage or higher frequency. Higher voltage slightly decreases life time, but is preferred if higher supply current can be accepted. Brightness VsTimewith time. Unlike most other lighting which can critically fail, EL Panel brightness decreases with time.

  42. EL Panels emit light from 50VAC and increase in brightness with higher voltage up to 200VAC. The frequency should be over 50Hz. Brightness increases with higher frequency up to 1000Hz. However, it is recommended that frequencies in the range of 400-600Hz and voltages of no greater than 160VAC are used, otherwise the panel life will rapidly deteriorate.
