The conductive white powder is obtained by converting an inorganic compound white powder such as titanium oxide, zinc oxide and barium titanate into a conductor. As a means for converting into a conductor, an inorganic compound-based white powder obtained by doping ions into a semiconductor is preferable because it can be easily manufactured and can have low resistance. It is also preferable that a thin film of a transparent conductive compound such as indium oxide or tin oxide is formed on the surface of the inorganic compound-based white powder by a method such as coating, vapor deposition, sputtering, or CVD. Manufacturing cost is slightly higher than ion doping. In addition, a highly reflective metal thin film of aluminum or the like formed on the surface of an inorganic compound-based white powder by vapor deposition, sputtering, or the like can be used, but the reflectance is slightly lowered.

Next, a method of mass-producing the high-brightness electroluminescent lamp of the present invention at low cost will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), on a transparent electrode 1b formed on the entire surface of a transparent film 1a, a phosphor obtained by applying zinc sulfide with copper and applying a moisture-proof coating is placed in a binder such as fluoro rubber. The light-emitting layer 2 is screen-printed in a pattern excluding a part 1c of the transparent electrode 1b and the like, using the ink dispersed to form a first laminated film 11. A portion 2a of the light emitting layer 2 extends to the end of the transparent film 1a or to the vicinity thereof.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the insulating film 5A on which the transparent electrode power supply portion 6 and the back surface electrode 4 are formed.
The white conductive layer 3 is collectively thick-printed using a doctor blade, a bar coater, a gravure roll or the like on the entire surface on the side where the back electrode or the like is formed, to form a second laminated film 12.
Here, the white conductive layer 3 is made of, for example, Al + 3
Conductive white powder to which conductivity is imparted by doping ions is dispersed in a binder made of, for example, a polyester-based thermoplastic resin, and is characterized by having light reflectivity and conductivity. In particular, since the white conductive layer 3 is formed on the entire surface, it is not necessary to perform screen printing, so that manufacturing efficiency is high and manufacturing cost can be reduced. As another conductive white powder used for the white conductive layer 3, a thin film of a transparent conductive compound such as indium oxide or tin oxide is formed on the surface of the inorganic compound-based white powder by a method such as coating, vapor deposition, sputtering, or CVD. Those that have been used are also suitable. In addition, a highly reflective metal thin film formed on the surface of an inorganic compound-based white powder by vapor deposition, sputtering, or the like can be used. Instead of dispersing the conductive white powder in a binder, a conventional inorganic compound-based white powder (such as barium titanate) and a transparent conductive compound powder such as indium oxide or tin oxide are used as a binder. The white conductive layer can be dispersed in the inside.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2D, the light emitting layer 2 of the first laminated film 11 and the white conductive layer 3 of the second laminated film 12 face each other, and Of the transparent electrode power supply section 6 and one part of the transparent electrode power supply section 6 and the rear electrode power supply section 4a. The electroluminescent lamp 10 is obtained by arranging and superposing the white conductive layers 3 covering the portions so as to be exposed, and performing thermocompression bonding using a laminator or a hot press.

To turn on the electroluminescent lamp 10, a connection pin (not shown) having one end connected to a driving power supply through a conductive wire is connected to the transparent electrode power supply section 6 from above the white conductive layer 3.
Then, power is supplied to the transparent electrode 1b and the back electrode 4 by pressing against the back electrode feeding section 4a. At this time, the white conductive layer 3 is interposed between the connection pin and the power supply portions 6 and 4a. However, since the white conductive layer 3 has semiconductivity and is thin, The resistance value in the direction perpendicular to the plane is small and does not hinder conduction between the pin and the electrode. Moreover, since the resistance value of the white conductive layer 3 in the surface direction (surface resistance: about 10 5 to 10 7 Ω / □) is high,
The power supply 6 for the transparent electrode and the back electrode 4 are not short-circuited by the white conductive layer 3.

As described above, since the white conductive layer 3 is used in place of the conventional reflective insulating layer, the white conductive layer 3 is formed on the transparent electrode power supply section 6 and on the back electrode power supply section 4a. Since it can be formed so as to cover the entire surface, it is not necessary to form a pattern by complicated screen printing, and printing can be easily performed over the entire surface using a simple doctor blade, bar coater, gravure roll, or the like, thereby reducing costs.
In particular, since the white conductive layer 3 can be continuously printed on a roll-to-roll basis, a large-sized electroluminescent lamp can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.

When a white conductive layer is printed on the light emitting layer, a part of the slurry of the white conductive layer penetrates the light emitting layer to lower the dielectric strength. However, in the present invention, the white conductive layer formed on the back electrode in advance is used. Since the conductive layer is attached to the light-emitting layer after drying, slurry does not enter the light-emitting layer, and a decrease in withstand voltage can be prevented.

However, an electroluminescent lamp according to the present invention of the type in which a lead electrode is mounted in place of the connection pins is shown in FIG. I will explain. The same parts as those in FIG. 2 will not be described repeatedly. As shown in FIG. 3A, the second laminated film 12 completed up to the step shown in FIG. 2C is provided on the white conductive layer 3 at the positions of the transparent electrode power supply 6 and the back electrode power supply 4a. Then, the end portions of the lead electrodes 21 and 22 are brought into contact with each other, and as shown in FIG. 3B, the first laminated film 1 is formed on the entire surface of the white conductive layer 3 including the contact portions.
The light emitting layer 2 side is overlaid and thermocompression bonded to obtain an electroluminescent lamp 20. In this configuration, the connection between the lead electrodes 21 and 22 is the first
Since the laminated film 11 is sandwiched between the laminated film 11 and the second laminated film 12, a highly reliable electroluminescent lamp having strong lead connection strength can be provided.

According to the electroluminescent lamp of the present invention, since the white conductive layer is interposed between the light-emitting layer and the back electrode as the reflection layer, the reflection layer has a low impedance, and most of the applied voltage is applied to the light-emitting layer. It is applied and the light reflectance on the back surface side of the light emitting layer is high, so that the luminance is improved.

Further, the method for manufacturing an electroluminescent lamp according to the present invention comprises:
A step of printing a light emitting layer on the transparent electrode except for a part of the transparent electrode formed on the transparent film to form a first laminated film; And printing a white conductive layer over the entire surface to form a second laminated film, and the light emitting layer of the first laminated film and the white conductive layer of the second laminated film It comprises a step of superimposing and thermocompression bonding facing each other. By making the reflective layer a conductor, it is not necessary to cut out a part of the white conductive layer to expose the power supply for the transparent electrode and the power supply for the back electrode, and to form a pattern. A conductive layer can be formed. Therefore, there is no need to form a white conductive layer by complicated screen printing, and the white conductive layer can be formed with a simple doctor blade, bar coater, gravure roll, or the like, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced.
