Electroluminescent display construction using printing technology

Abstract

A method of fabricating an electroluminescent display comprising: (a) depositing a conductive pathway upon a substrate; (b) depositing a dielectric material over at least a first portion of the conductive pathway; and (c) depositing an electroluminescent material over the dielectric material and in contact with at least a second portion of the conductive pathway, where at least one of the deposition acts is carried out utilizing an inkjet printer. The invention also includes an electroluminescent display comprising a stacked structure including at least three aspects, with a first aspect comprising a conductive pathway, a second aspect comprising a dielectric material overlying at least a portion of the conductive pathway, and a third aspect comprising an electroluminescent material overlying at least a portion of the dielectric material and in electrical communication with at least a portion of the conductive pathway, wherein at least one of the aspects is deposited utilizing an inkjet printer, and wherein electric current is adapted to be provided to the first component to generate an electromagnetic field causing a photoemission from the electroluminescent material.
