Such a conventional dispersion type EL lamp is
As shown in the plan view of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AB of FIG. 6, indium tin oxide is laminated on the entire upper surface of the insulating transparent film 1 such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film by sputtering or the like to obtain a transparent conductive film. A film 12 is formed, and a high dielectric resin such as cyanoethyl pullulan or vinylidene fluoride rubber is dissolved in an organic solvent such as dimethylformamide or N-methylpyridone on the transparent conductive film 12 to disperse a luminous body such as zinc sulfide. The luminous body layer 3 thus formed is formed by pattern-printing by screen printing or the like and drying, and a high dielectric substance such as barium titanate is dispersed in a resin of the same type as the luminous body layer 3 by superposing on the luminous body layer 3. Pattern the dielectric layer 4, the back electrode layer 5 with a carbon resin paste or a silver resin paste, and the insulating coating layer 6 with an insulating paste. It was formed by laminating by drying and printing. For the collector electrode 5b on the transparent conductive film 12 side, a part of the transparent conductive film 12 is exposed from the light emitting layer 3, the dielectric layer 4, the back electrode layer 5, and the insulating coating layer 6 and a silver resin paste or the like is pattern-printed. Then, the current collecting electrode 5a on the back electrode layer 5 side was formed by exposing the end portion of the back electrode layer 5 from the insulating coat layer 6.

When the wiring of the collecting electrodes 5a and 5b is required to be long, a dielectric layer 4 is formed as shown in a cross-sectional view AB in FIG.
Since the high-dielectric resin used for the above has poor adhesion to the transparent conductive film 12, it was formed by separately providing the insulating film 13 made of epoxy resin or the like.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, the PE formed by sputtering the transparent conductive film 12 is used.
Since the T film is expensive, the collector electrode 5 of the EL lamp
When a and 5b are externally connected, if the collector electrode wiring is lengthened, there is a problem that a PET film with the transparent conductive film 12 is required in addition to the light emitting portion, which is expensive. In addition, connecting the EL lamp electrode to the printed circuit board or the like with an anisotropic conductive adhesive requires forming an additional insulating layer on the PET film with the transparent conductive film 12 by overall sputtering, etc. Since it became thick, heat conduction was poor and it was extremely difficult to adhere. Also, in case of connector connection, P
Since the transparent conductive film 12 is present on the entire circumference of the end surface of the ET film, there is a risk of short circuit, which is substantially difficult. Further, the method of removing the transparent conductive film 12 except the light emitting portion by etching in advance is more expensive. there were.

For these reasons, the above problems can be solved by pattern-printing the transparent electrode with a conductive paste having visible light transmittance. This conductive paste having visible light transmittance is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-64- It is known and disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 10595 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-10496. However, when a luminescent material or a dielectric is printed on a coating film of a conductive paste having such a visible light transmittance, dimethylformamide or a dimethylformamide in which a high dielectric resin used for the luminescent material or the dielectric is dissolved. A polar solvent such as N-methylpyridone causes a significant problem that the conductive performance is significantly deteriorated due to the high temperature during drying, and a new problem occurs in which light is emitted at all or only in the vicinity of the collecting electrode, which is a problem that cannot be realized. It was Therefore, even if it can be used as the back electrode layer 5, or the transparent electrode layer and the light emitting layer 3 are separately formed and then used for laminating and laminating, the light emitting layer 3, the dielectric layer, etc. This has a problem that it cannot be applied to a configuration in which the layers 4 and the like are printed in an overlapping manner.

With this configuration, the print-type transparent electrode layer is stable without deterioration of the conductivity against overprinting of the light-emitting layer, the dielectric layer, etc., and the transparent conductive film formed by the conventional sputtering method is used. The brightness does not change. Moreover, the conductivity is stable even in a high temperature and high humidity environment, and the environment resistance reliability of brightness is also stable.

Furthermore, since the transparent electrode layer and the transparent electrode layer can be formed by pattern printing, the manufacturing equipment can be unified.
Even if the external connection part of the current collecting electrode is separated from the light emitting part, only the wiring of the current collecting electrode needs to be formed on the same insulating transparent film, and it can be manufactured at low cost.

Further, when the collector electrode is externally connected, an anisotropic conductive adhesive is externally connected to the connecting portion because there is no transparent conductive film or insulating film formed on the insulating transparent film at the connecting portion by conventional sputtering. By forming it on the collecting electrode and the insulating transparent film at the tip of the external connection part, connection to the printed circuit board becomes easy, and a reinforcing plate is formed on the back surface of the insulating transparent film at the tip of the external connection part. This makes it easier to connect with a connector.

Further, when the ratio of the acicular powder (A) constituting the indium oxide powder is less than 20%, the deterioration of the conductivity is large when the luminous layer 3 and the dielectric layer 4 are overprinted and dried, and the brightness is lowered. However, when left in a high temperature and high humidity atmosphere, the brightness further decreases. Further, when the total conductive powder (C) is 45% or less, sufficient conductivity for making the EL emit light cannot be obtained from the initial stage, resulting in large variation in brightness. All conductive powder (C)
