Patent ID: 7622859

Claim:
An electroluminescent display, comprising: a substrate having an array of conductive vias; an array of pixel elements arranged on a first face of the substrate, each pixel element consisting of; a first electrode electrically coupled to one of the conductive vias; electroluminescent material disposed directly only on the first electrode to substantially correspond to the size and shape of the first electrode; and a transparent or translucent dielectric material disposed directly on the electroluminescent material to substantially correspond to the size and shape of the first electrode; a single transparent or translucent second electrode disposed directly on the dielectric material, that overlies and is common to all of the pixel elements in the array of pixel elements; and a driver circuit situated on an opposing second face of the substrate and electrically coupled to each of the conductive vias and to the second electrode, such that each pixel element is individually addressable sufficient to illuminate the electroluminescent material on individual pixel elements.
