Abstract
A method for fabricating an electroluminescent display and the substrate and apparatus used therein. The display is preferably constructed on a pre-constructed substrate that includes a flexible base layer having a conducting surface on one side thereof. The base layer is impermeable to oxygen and water. The substrate includes a plurality of wells defined by a barrier layer, each well having an electrode layer connected electrically with the conducting surface. A removable protective layer covering the wells protects the electrode layer from attack by oxygen and water prior to being utilized to make the display. In one embodiment, each of the wells also contains an electron transfer layer in contact with the electrode layer.
