Thin-film electroluminescent structures on substrates with a diffuse-scattering emitting surface

Results are obtained to demonstrate the significant brightness enhancement (by a factor of 3.5-5.6) of the output of thin-him ac electroluminescent emitters on glass substrates with a diffuse-scattering emitting surface as compared with the conventional designs of such emitters on "smooth" glass substrates. Tn principle, this advantage can help to solve the problem of insufficient brightness of electroluminescent emitters for certain light colors, creating a promising outlook for the fabrication of full-color, thin-him electroluminescent panel displays with a high data capacity.
