Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the reflected light from a ceramic base surface usable and prevent luminance reduction by using a white ceramics for a base. CONSTITUTION:A high luminance color EL panel 1 has the structure in which an EL panel 10 formed by successively laminating an ITO transparent electrode 12, a SiON insulating film 12, a light emitting layer 14 of three-layer structure consisting of ZnSiMn, and ZnS:Mn, a SiON insulating film 15, and an base 11 whose surface is polished; and a seal glass 22 on which a color filter 21 is patterned are stuck to each other with an adhesive material 23, and an insulating fluid 24 is sealed in the gap. Thus, no problem is caused in the base side first electrode 12 even in high temperature process during EL manufacture. For the transparent electrode, since the light taken out from the panel contains the reflected light from the ceramic plate, a high luminance can be provided over the whole light emitting area of red, green and blue, compared with a color EL panel using a glass base.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a color filter type EL panel, a type in which a color filter is formed on a glass substrate and each layer constituting an EL device is formed thereon, and a transparent electrode is used as a back electrode. There is a type in which glass with a patterned color filter is attached to an EL panel that allows light to be extracted from the back side of the panel, but the heat resistance of the color filter is low and it cannot withstand the EL manufacturing process. Also, the latter type is promising because patterning and viewing angle will still be a problem even if an interference filter having high heat resistance is used. In a normal EL panel, the light that can be extracted from the device also includes the reflected light from the back metal electrode. Since it is not necessary for the first electrode on the substrate side to be transparent in the color EL panel of the color filter bonding type, it is conceivable to use a metal electrode here and take out the light including the reflected light from the panel.
Aluminium, kappa, molybdenum, etc., which are typical metal electrode materials for EL panels, have problems such as peeling due to thermal expansion and a reaction with an insulating film to lower the breakdown voltage in a high temperature process during EL fabrication. Therefore, a transparent electrode that can be used without problems even in a high temperature process is used as the substrate-side first electrode.

However, since the electrode facing the light extraction side is also transparent, the light extracted from the panel has a luminance of about 1/2 that of a normal EL device using a metal electrode on the back surface. There is a problem that it will end up.
