Abstract
Abstract A dispersive electroluminescence comprising a fluorescent layer coated on a transparent electrode, and an opposing electrode comprising a conductive layer in contact with the fluorescent layer and a low resistance external layer. The conductive layer is mainly composed of conductive fine particles, and majority of such conductive fine particles are three-dimensionally in contact with each other forming a conductive path and fill in the spaces in the surface of the fluorescent layer. The conductive layer is formed on the fluorescent layer by spraying a liquid composed of fine conductive particles dispersed in an organic liquid on the fluorescent layer and then drying it.

Claim 7
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of forming a dispersive type electroluminescent device comprising: forming a transparent electrode on a transparent substrate; forming a fluorescent layer on said transparent electrode; and forming a conductive layer by depositing a liquid containing a dispersion of conductive fine particles in an organic liquid without any synthetic resin binder onto said fluorescent layer and drying up said liquid so that only said conductive fine particles are left to enter fine clearances in the surface of said fluorescent layer.
