Electroluminescent display panel

A process of forming an electroluminescent display panel formed from an EL laminate electrically connected to voltage driving circuitry, the EL laminate having a phosphor layer sandwiched between a front and a rear set of intersecting address lines, the rear address lines being formed on a substrate having sufficient rigidity to support the laminate, and the phosphor layer being separated from the rear address lines, and optionally from the front address lines, by one or more dielectric layers, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a substrate having sufficient rigidity to support the EL laminate and being formed with a plurality of through holes patterned to be proximate the ends of the address lines to be subsequently formed;
• (b) forming a conductive path through each of the through holes in the substrate to provide for electrical connection of each address line, subsequently formed, to the voltage driving circuit;
• (c) forming the rear spaced address lines on the substrate, one end of each rear address line ending adjacent to a through hole and being electrically connected with the conductive path therethrough;
• (d) forming a dielectric layer with sintering on the rear address lines;
• (e) forming the phosphor layer above the dielectric layer;
• (f) optionally forming a transparent dielectric layer on the phosphor layer;
• and then
• (g) forming the front spaced address line on the underlying phosphor or transparent dielectric layer, one end of each front address line ending adjacent a through hole and being electrically connected with the conductive path therethrough.
