Abstract

An improved dielectric layer of an electroluminescent laminate, and method of preparation are provided. The dielectric layer is formed as a thick layer from a ceramic material to provide: PA1 a dielectric strength greater than about 1.0.times.10.sup.6 V/m; PA1 a dielectric constant such that the ratio of the dielectric constant of the dielectric material to that of the phosphor layer is greater than about 50:1; PA1 a thickness such that the ratio of the thickness of the dielectric layer to that of the phosphor layer is in the range of about 20:1 to 500:1; and PA1 a surface adjacent the phosphor layer which is compatible with the phosphor layer and sufficiently smooth that the phosphor layer illuminates generally uniformly at a given excitation voltage. The invention also provides for electrical connection of an electroluminescent laminate to voltage driving circuity with through-hole technology. The invention also extends to laser scribing the transparent conductor lines of an electroluminescent laminate.
