An alternating current thin-film electroluminescent device includes a plurality of pixel electrodes. An electroluminescent phosphor material is located between a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer. A transparent electrode layer, wherein at least a portion of the electroluminescent phosphor material and the first and second dielectric layers are located between the pixel electrodes and the transparent electrode layer. The first dielectric layer is closer to the transparent electrode layer than the second dielectric layer. The phosphor material is patterned.

AMEL device with improved optical properties

A construction for electroluminescent device includes a substrate and an electroluminescent stack which forms a step relative to the substrate. A transparent layer of protective material is placed atop the stack to bridge the step and create a smooth edge profile along the edge. A metallization layer is situated atop the layer of protective material and is coupled to the electroluminescent stack through vias in the protective material.
