Abstract
An electroluminescent (EL) lamp element and a process for making same. The EL lamp element has a monolayer of phosphor particles deposited in a resin binder material. The sizes of the particles are controllably pre-selected to lie within a selected range thereof. The thickness of the resin binder layer is about one-half that of the average particle size so that the tendency of the resin to migrate through the particles and to cover the surfaces of the particles is prevented. A second resin binder layer is then deposited over the exposed surfaces of phosphor particles to form a relatively thin monolayer of particles uniformly distributed in the resin binder layers. If desired, the particles can be coated with a colloidal silica material to prevent any agglomeration thereof when depositing them in the resin binder layer.
