Patent ID: 7354327

Claim:
A process for manufacturing a multilayer element with a transparent surface electrode, an electro-luminescent lighting film, and a second surface electrode, the surface electrodes being provided with electrical connections for applying a voltage, the process comprising: applying, to form the transparent surface electrode, a thin-film multilayer system, including at least an electrically conducting part film and thereafter a dielectric part film, to a substrate; applying an EL lighting film and at least the second surface electrode one after another on the thin-film multilayer system; connecting, respectively, the surface electrodes to an electrical connection element for connection to a voltage source; wherein the multilayer system is constructed as follows: substrate/Si 3 N 4 /ZnO/Ti/Ag/ZnO/Si 3 N 4 /ZnO/Ti/Ag/ZnO/Si 3 N 4 .
