  • Publication number: 20040041516
    Abstract: An electroluminescent light emitting system, having an electroluminescent light-emitting layer containing electroluminescent light-emitting elements, one surface side of which is adapted to putting an AC electric field forming material thereon; an electrode section comprising a first electrode layer with a predetermined first pattern and a second electrode layer with a predetermined second pattern, which are disposed relatively close to but electrically separated from each other with a spacing region, in the other surface side of the electroluminescent light emitting layer; and a waterproof resin layer provided between at least one of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer electrode section, and the electroluminescent light-emitting layer. The AC electric field forming material put on the one surface side enables generating an AC electric field in the electroluminescent light-emitting layer with an AC voltage applied between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer.
