driver module is used for driving the EL or EL panel in the market, the EL is also called the cold light neon tube which is apyretic and water-proof that can also be wound to any shape. Multiple colors like red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange, transparent, pink, bisque and white can be found in the market. EL (electroluminescence) is a physical phenomenon in which an electric field is generated by a power source applied to two electrodes, and an electron excited by an electric field strikes an illuminating center, causing a transition of an electron level, a change or a combination that causes the luminescence, that is, an electroluminescence phenomenon.

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- VCC
- VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
