Abstract

Abstract Disclosed herein is an electroluminescence display component comprising, in sandwich arrangement, a transparent substrate made of, e.g., glass and two thin film structures, each comprising two electrode layers and a luminescence layer disposed between said electrode layers. A light filter layer is disposed between the different thin film structures for realizing a double color display. The light filter layer can be an integral layer made of homogeneous material or a sandwich structure comprising, e.g., two epoxy layers functioning as adhesive layers and a colored tape or similar element disposed between said epoxy layers.
