Structure of thin film electroluminescent device
First Claim
1. A thin film electroluminescent device, comprising:
- a) a substrate;
b) a transparent electrode formed on said substrate;
c) a first insulating layer formed on said transparent electrode;
d) a fluorescent layer formed on said first insulating layer and including dopants for emitting light when being charged;
e) a second insulating layer formed on said fluorescent layer wherein said first and second insulating layers effectively excite the dopants in said fluorescent layer and make said dopants emit light;
f) a first light absorbing layer formed on said second insulating layer and including an etched portion to improve the effect of contrast by preventing light from being reflected;
g) a rear electrode formed on said first light absorbing layer;
h) a rear insulating layer formed on said rear electrode to prevent current leakage; and
i) a second light absorbing layer formed on said rear insulating layer for preventing blackening of the etched portion of said first light absorbing layer.

Abstract
Disclosed is a thin film electroluminescent device of this invention comprising a transparent substrate, a transparent electrode, a fluorescent layer emitting a light when being charged with a certain voltage, a first and second insulating layer being laminated on the top and the bottom of the fluorescent layer to make a dopant be excited and emit a light efficiently, a first light absorbing layer being laminated on the second insulating layer to improve the function of contrast of the device of electroluminescence, a rear electrode formed on the first light absorbing layer at regular intervals, a rear insulating layer being laminated on the rear electrode to prevent the current from leaking from the rear electrode, and a second light absorbing layer being laminated on the rear insulating layer to blacken the etched portion of the first light absorbing layer. A method of fabrication is also disclosed.
