Abstract

Abstract A thin film electroluminescent panel in which a thin film electroluminescent device formed on a transparent substrate is covered with a black silicone resin layer at back side thereof and further covered by a moistureproof sheet the periphery of which is adhered to that of the substrate. Desirably, a moisture absorber is arranged between the black silicone resin layer and the moistureproof sheet. Further, the moistureproof sheet has at least one small hole pierced therein for dehydrating the inner space of the EL panel which is scaled after dehydration.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 60 words
Thin film electroluminescent panel comprising a transparent substrate and a thin film electroluminescent device formed on said transparent substrate being characterized in that the back surface of said thin film electroluminescent device is coated with black silicone resin and that the back surface of said thin film electroluminescent device is covered over the black silicone coating by a moistureproof sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 60 words
Thin film electroluminescent panel comprising a transparent substrate and a thin film electroluminescent device formed on said transparent substrate being characterized in that the back surface of said thin film electroluminescent device is coated with black silicone resin and that the back surface of said thin film electroluminescent device is covered over the black silicone coating by a moistureproof sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The thin film electroluminescent panel as claimed in claim 1 being characterized further in that a sheet-like moisture absorber is arranged between said black silicone coating and said moistureproof sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
