1. A sunlight viewable multi-color electroluminescent display panel, comprising:
- a glass substrate;
a plurality of parallel transparent electrodes deposited on said glass substrate, each of said transparent electrodes having a metal assist structure formed on and in electrical contact over a portion of said transparent electrodes;
a first dielectric layer deposited on said plurality of transparent electrodes;
a layer of phosphor material deposited on said first dielectric layer having a preselected activator and a preselected co-activator implanted therein to provide color luminescent material;
a second dielectric layer deposited on said layer of phosphor material;
a layer of light absorbing dark material, deposited on said second dielectric layer for reducing reflected light; and
a plurality of metal electrodes each deposited in parallel over said layer of light absorbing dark material.
