Abstract
A process for manufacturing a TFEL panel having a plurality of side-by-side phosphor stripes of different colors includes the steps of placing a thin film phosphor layer of a first color producing phosphor on top of transparent electrodes covered by an insulator and subjecting the phosphor to an etching process to leave thin elongate stripes. A second phosphor layer is deposited over the first phosphor stripes and the etch is repeated to leave adjacent stripes of a second color-producing phosphor. An insulating layer and a second set of electrodes are placed atop the stripes to complete the panel which is supported on a glass substrate.
