BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to wallpaper, and more particularly, to an EL wallpaper and a method of manufacturing the same, focusing on functionality as a building interior material and interior decoration by applying an inorganic EL material.

EL (Electro Luminescence) materials have many advantages over existing light emitting devices because they have characteristics such as low power consumption, low driving voltage, and high luminous efficiency, and according to differences in manufacturing process and whether the light emitting materials are organic or inorganic It is divided into organic EL and inorganic EL.

Inorganic EL is a phenomenon that emits light by using inorganic semiconductor material that emits light when electric field is applied, and features uniform surface emission. Applications of inorganic EL include outdoor advertisements, guide signs, indoor interiors, automobiles, decorations, LCD screen, danger sign, light emission and other parts.                         

A distinct advantage of the inorganic EL is that it is possible to realize stable performance even in a low cost and an extreme environment by a simple manufacturing process. In addition, unlike TFT-LCDs and organic ELs, which require thin film processes in the manufacturing process, products can be made by inexpensive thick film processes, and TFTs (Thin Film Transistor) are not needed. It has the property of being easy.

The characteristics of the inorganic EL are firstly, it is a non-heating device with no heat generation when emitting light as a solid flat light emitter by electric field. none. Second, it is possible to reduce the power consumption of 70 to 80% compared to fluorescent lamps or neon used in billboards, and the use of solar cells is possible because the power consumption is very small. Third, it is possible to display a desired form such as cutting, partial light emission, active expression (flashing function), and since it is a film state (maximum 0.45 mm), it can be utilized in various forms such as curved surfaces and three-dimensional shapes. Fourth, the soft and uniform short wavelength of light is emitted, and it can express beautiful light with rich color without fatigue to eyes than FLEX which relies on the back lighting. Fifth, because it is light and ultra-thin, it is easy to select subsidiary materials, and it can be installed on the inside of car, stage floor, and high place because it is strong against impact and pressure. Sixth, the weight is light and solid, so it is resistant to vibration and shock, and thus low maintenance cost Seventh, there are no environmental pollutants such as mercury, such as neon, fluorescent light inside Panaplex.
