NOVELTY - A dielectric laminate (10) comprises at least one layer (16) of polymeric material having an active material (e.g. an organo-salt) (20) dispersed in it. The polymeric material is preferably an adhesive. The active material absorbs external electric fields, such that a higher voltage external electric field can be applied to one side of the laminate without any voltage passing through the laminate, than a maximum voltage that can be applied to the laminate without passing through the laminate when the active material is not present in the polymeric layer.    USE - As a laminate of dielectric materials; to be adhered to an electrical device for protecting the electrical device (e.g. a photovoltaic device, a display device including a liquid crystal display device, and a membrane switch) against an electric field (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The active material such as organo-salt in the polymeric layer, absorbs portions of the electric field that pass through the polymeric material, and mitigates the effect of electric field on the laminate, thus lessening the driving force for discharging in the polymeric layer. Thus, the active material in the polymeric layer, changes the dielectric strength of the laminate in presence of the electric field. Therefore, the protective dielectric laminate for electrical devices, provides improved dielectric properties; and provides improved protection against a maximum voltage that can be tolerated by the electrical device, without causing electrical discharge within the electrical device.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A dielectric laminate (10) comprises at least one layer (16) of polymeric material having an active material (e.g. an organo-salt) (20) dispersed in it, and having a first thickness. The polymeric material is preferably an adhesive. The active material is responsive to external electric fields, such that a higher voltage external electric field can be applied to one side of the laminate without any voltage passing through the laminate, than a maximum voltage that can be applied to the laminate without passing through the laminate when the active material is not present in the polymeric layer of first thickness. The active material absorbs electric fields, and reduces the electric field strength by becoming polarized in the presence of the electric fields. The laminate laminate preferably comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) layer (12) including active materials (22). The laminate is adhered to an electrical device (24), preferably using the EVA layer. The polymeric material together with the active material, provides a doped polymeric material that has a first dielectric constant, which is different than a second dielectric constant of the doped polymeric material when external electric field is applied to the laminate.
