Abstract:
1. An encapsulated electrode for an electroluminescent display incorporating a thick film dielectric layer, said electrode comprising; an electrode layer comprising an electrically conductive metallic film having an upper and lower surface; a thick film dielectric layer adjacent said upper surface of said electrode layer; a layer of encapsulating material provided between said upper surface of said electrode layer and said thick film dielectric layer, and a layer of encapsulating material provided on said lower surface of said electrode, said material reducing the risk of the electrode from becoming discontinuous and losing its electrical conductivity, said encapsulating material on said upper and lower surface having a thickness of about 10 nm to about 500 nm, said encapsulating material on said lower surface is being selected from barium titanate and indium tin oxide.
