Moreover, it has excellent properties such as being lightweight and flexible. Furthermore, by using various phosphors, there is an advantage that elements emitting light of various colors can be easily obtained.

To deal with these drawbacks, various measures have been taken in the past, focusing on preventing moisture from entering the device, which would promote deterioration of the phosphor, for example. In other words, a resin sealing member with low moisture permeability is used.

In addition, JP-A-57-196495 discloses acetal resin, epoxy resin, cyanoethyl cellulose, which has been commonly used as a phosphor dispersion binder,
and by using sulfur as the above-mentioned dispersion binder in place of the fluorine-based resin or the like.

It is stated that good life characteristics were obtained. However, according to additional tests conducted by the present inventors, it was found that the electroluminescent device manufactured by this method had an extremely low initial luminance and could not be put to practical use.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, conventional electroluminescent elements have a short lifespan due to deterioration in the brightness of the phosphor, and on the other hand, attempts to improve the lifespan have resulted in the drawback that the initial brightness decreases. .

そこで本発明は以上の欠点を除去するもので。Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the above drawbacks.

初期輝度が高く、シかも寿命特性の優れた電場発光素子

An object of the present invention is to provide an electroluminescent element with high initial brightness and excellent long life characteristics.

(Means for solving the problem) In the electroluminescent device of the present invention, a sulfide phosphor layer and a dielectric layer are provided between the transparent electrode and the back electrode.

硫化物蛍光体層と背面電極との中間に位置する上記誘電
体層に硫黄を含有せしめることにより構成される。
It is constructed by incorporating sulfur into the dielectric layer located between the sulfide phosphor layer and the back electrode.

(Function) In the electroluminescent device of the present invention, even if a situation occurs in which sulfur content is desorbed from the sulfide phosphor crystal during its life and defects are generated in the crystal, the phosphor layer does not contain sulfur. This is because the dielectric layers are in close contact with each other.

This sulfur compensates for the sulfur content released from the phosphor, and can prevent significant brightness deterioration during the life of the phosphor. Moreover, the sulfur-containing dielectric layer is located between the phosphor layer and the back electrode.
In other words, it is not in the direction in which the light from the phosphor is emitted, so
The sulfur will not block the path of light and therefore will not reduce the initial brightness.

The resin substrate (1) on which the phosphor layer (3) is formed and the back electrode (5) on which the sulfur-containing dielectric layer (4) is formed are bonded together, and this laminate (6) is then layered from above and below. It is sandwiched between a sealant film (7) made of, for example, trifluorochloroethylene and having a thermoplastic resin layer (not shown) formed on the inner surface.

Next, the above-mentioned conventional electroluminescent device using the same amount (volume ratio) of sulfur as the phosphor as a dispersed binder of the phosphor and the above-mentioned electroluminescent device of the present invention were turned on at 2 KHz -120V, and the initial brightness was measured. As a result, the conventional one was 37.8
nt, whereas that of the present invention was 220 nt, which was a significant improvement in brightness.

This is because sulfur is contained in the dielectric layer (4) provided between the phosphor layer (3) and the back electrode (5), so the location of sulfur is not radiated from the phosphor layer (3). This is because there is no choice but to use different light, and therefore a significant drop in initial brightness can be prevented.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a comparison diagram of the life characteristics (brightness life) curves of another conventional electroluminescent element to which no sulfur content is added and the electroluminescent element of the present invention.

As is clear from the figure, the life-improving effect of the present invention is significant. This is because the sulfur contained in the dielectric layer (4) that is in close contact with the phosphor layer (3) compensates for the brightness deterioration caused by the desorption of sulfur from the sulfide phosphor crystal during its lifetime. This is for the purpose of

2. According to the structure of the present invention, the added sulfur is located at a position where it does not block the light emitted from the phosphor layer, so even if a large amount of sulfur is added, it has no effect on the initial brightness and is not necessary. A sufficient amount can be added.

Further, the material of the substrate is not limited to resin, and may be glass, for example, and the dielectric material is not limited to barium titanate. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention According to the structure, the sulfur added to prevent deterioration of the phosphor is present in the dielectric layer located between the phosphor layer and the back electrode.
It is possible to provide an electroluminescent element whose lifetime characteristics can be improved without causing a significant decrease in initial brightness.
