Abstract:
An electroluminescent device, comprising:a transparent substrate which extends in the lengthwise direction of the device, a transparent conductive layer placed on the back surface of the transparent substrate, a luminescent layer having a width which is smaller than the width of the transparent conductive layer and being placed on the back surface of the transparent conductive layer, a rear electrode placed on the back surface of the luminescent layer, and at least one buss which is placed on the part of the back surface of the transparent conductive lay having no luminescent layer, wherein the buss has a width smaller than the width of the transparent conductive layer and is electrically in contact with neither the luminescent layer nor the rear electrode, and wherein the transparent conductive layer, the luminescent layer, the rear electrode and the buss continuously extend in the lengthwise direction of the transparent substrate prior to cutting the device.
