ELECTROLUMINESCENT DISPLAY

摘要

The electroluminescent display includes a first substantially transparent or translucent conductive layer (11) with a phosphor or the like layer (12a, 12b) deposited thereon. A layer of dielectric (13) is deposited upon the phosphor or the like layer and a second conductive layer (14a, 14b) is deposited upon the dielectric layer. The second conductive layer is comprised of a number of areas (14a, 14b) shaped to be substantially congruent with the shaped areas (12a, 12b) of the phosphor layer. The layer of dielectric material (13) interposed between the phosphor layer and the second conductive layer covers substantially all of the display. The unitary dielectric layer (13) flattens the print profile so that conductive traces (17) undergo a smooth transition between the shaped areas (14a, 14b), thus reducing burnouts at transition boundaries. The dielectric layer (13) is preferably opaque, to preventive conductive traces (17) showing through the light emitting side (50) of the display.
