Abstract:
A thin-film phosphor layer can be formed by an improved deposition method involving: (1) forming a phosphor powder layer that is substantially uniformly deposited on a substrate surface; and (2) forming a polymer binder layer to fill gaps among loosely packed phosphor particles, thereby forming a substantially continuous layer of thin film.
Abstract:
A display device free from a deterioration in luminescence efficiency is provided. In the display device of the present invention, since an inorganic film is formed after concave parts in which luminescence portions are positioned are filled with a filling film, no crack is formed in the inorganic film. Since the inorganic film is made of a material having high gas tightness and heat conductivity (such as, diamond-like carbon or AlN), water and oxygen will hardly penetrate the luminescence portions, and heat of the luminescence portions will be conducted to the inorganic film, so that the luminescence portions do not reach high temperatures. Further, since a gap between first and second panels is filled with a resin film, the atmosphere does not enter from the outside. Because the luminescence portions are free from damage from water, oxygen and heat, the display device of the present invention has a prolonged life.

An electroluminescent (EL) device having an LED formed on a substrate with at least two electrodes formed over the substrate, and an EL unit formed between the electrodes. At least one of the electrodes is transparent. At least one of the electrodes is patterned to define independently controllable light-emitting areas. A cover is formed over the LED.

Abstract:
In a luminous display element, a retro-reflector is provided on the back side of an organic EL layer which includes an emission layer whose state changes between an emission state and a non-emission state. The retro-reflector includes a corner cube array, and reflects incident light in the same direction as an incident direction. A unit structure of the corner cube array is a form of a triangular pyramid which is made up of rectangular equilateral triangles having three faces, and a light shielding process is performed on the periphery of a base angle of the rectangular equilateral triangle. Thus, it is possible to prevent an image from being reflected, so that it is possible to provide the luminous display element whose contrast ratio and the utilization efficiency of emission are high.
Abstract:
A panel display using gold as a conductive element and a matrix of carbon fibers as emitters is presented. The invention provides a novel defined pixel width of three emitter fibers per cell wherein each cell is positioned within three emulsion layers of suspended nano-crystals stack positioned vertically atop one-another. Each of these respective layers is excited by a single carbon fiber. In the preferred embodiment, fiber length ends from each cell are positioned at the mid-point of each respective polymer layer thickness and produce one of red, green, or blue colors required to complete the image formation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a field-emission display having a faceplate formed with a phosphor layer and means irradiating an electron beam onto the phosphor layer in order to improve the characteristic of life of the device. The feature of the present invention is in the structure of a phosphor layer. The phosphor layer is expressed by a general formula: ZnS: M, Al where M is an activator of at least one of Cu, Ag and Au; and Al is a coactivator, in which the concentration of Al is higher than that of M. According to the present invention, the electrification characteristic of the phosphor is improved for lower resistance. The defect concentration of the surface of the phosphor is reduced. The filed-emission display which can realize improvement in the characteristic of life which has not been solved in the prior art can be made.

Abstract:
A high-quality organic EL panel is provided. The organic EL panel that can withstand a temperature change is manufactured by making both a glass substrate and a protection body protecting an organic EL device of a glass material. By making both the protection body and the glass substrate of a glass material, not only can an overall thickness be reduced in comparison with a case of using a metal case, but also a degree of freedom can be heightened drastically in selecting an adhesive used to fix the two substrates in comparison with a case of using a metal case.
