Electroluminescent display and method of making same

An electroluminescent display comprising:

• a non-conducting substrate;
• a layer of electroluminescent material covering a defined area of a first surface of said substrate and comprised of a unitary display segment and lead segment;
• a transparent conductor covering said electroluminescent material and comprised of a unitary display segment and a lead segment;
• a mask of transparent, cured ink covering said electroluminescent material and said transparent conductor;
• a metallic conductor covering a defined area of a second surface of said substrate opposite from said first surface and comprised of a unitary display segment and lead segment;
• a non-conducting envelope enclosing said substrate, said electroluminescent material, said transparent conductor, said transparent ink and said metallic conductor and having a transparent surface extending over said transparent conductor;
• and first and second terminals attached, respectively, to said lead segment of said transparent conductor and said lead segment of said metallic conductor.

An electroluminescent display comprising:

• a non-conducting substrate;
• an electroluminescent material covering a plurality of discrete areas of a first surface of said substrate, each discrete region of electroluminescent material comprised of a unitary display segment and lead segment;
• a transparent conductor covering each discrete region of electroluminescent material and comprised of a unitary display segment and lead segment;
• a mask of transparent cured ink covering each transparent conductor and discrete region of electroluminescent material and comprised of a unitary display segment and lead segment;
• a metallic conductor covering a plurality of discrete areas of a second surface of said substrate opposite from said first surface, each discrete region of metallic conductor comprised of a unitary display segment and lead segment;
• a non-conducting envelope enclosing said substrate, said discrete regions of electroluminescent material, said discrete regions of transparent conductor and said discrete regions of metallic conductor and having a transparent surface extending over said discrete regions of transparent conductor;
• and first and second sets of terminals attached, respectively, to said lead segments of said transparent conductor and said lead segments of said metallic conductor.
