Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide possibility of three-peak white light emission having peaks in the red, green and blue zones and prevent drop of the white indicative quality due to chromatic microconvegence of fluorescent pigment by allowing the light emitting layer to contain SrS:Ce type fluorescent substance powder and CaS:Eu type fluorescent substance powder in dispersed condition. CONSTITUTION:A back electrode 1, reflex insulating layer 2, light emitting layer 3, clear electrode 4 and clear resin film 5 are laminated consolidated, and this laminate is sealed from above and below with clear sheath films 6 made of, for ex., ethylene tetrachloride resin, wherein leads are leading out from the back electrode 1 and clear electrode 4. The light emitting layer 3 is formed in layers upon mixing fluorescent powder of SrS:Ce type emitting blue and green with another fluorescent powder of CaS:Eu type emitting red, which are dispersed in an organic binder having high dielectric coefficient, and by coating this dispersed mixture by means of, for ex., doctor blade method. This enables three-peak white light emission having peaks in the red, green and blue zones, and drop of the white indicative quality due to microconvergence of fluorescent pigment is prevented.

A luminescent material mixed with a pigment is used and is contained in the luminescent layer in a dispersed state.
