Abstract

A hybrid full color TFEL display device includes a pair of independently addressable matrix arrays on stacked substrates wherein the front substrate includes patterned phosphors arranged as alternating stripes, and the rear substrate includes a single phosphor layer. The rear phosphor layer may be either a red or blue emitter and the front phosphor stripes are either red-green or blue-green. The space between the stacked substrates may be filled with a dyed filler material to improve the chromaticity of the rear substrate phosphor. To achieve a full color spectrum the fill factors of the various phosphors are adjusted to be inversely proportional to respective luminance of each at the driving frequency of the panels.
