Abstract: A method for use in the construction of a color display screen using deposition of a plurality of electroluminescent materials onto a substrate bearing said screen. The method comprises the forming operations a), b), and c) in any sequence: a) forming on the substrate a first pattern of deposition sites covered with a first material selectively strippable by a first agent; b) forming on the substrate a second pattern of deposition sites covered with a second material strippable by a second agent but not significantly attacked by said first agent; and c) forming on the substrate a matrix surrounding the first and second patterns of deposition sites. The method includes thereafter performing a first stripping of the first material with the first agent to reveal first deposition sites within the matrix and performing a first depositing of a first electroluminescent material within the first revealed deposition sites.
