  • Patent number: RE29956
    Abstract: In a luminescent layer which is composed of spatially separated areas for reduction of lateral light dispersion in the layer, this subdivision is realized by provision of a crack structure in the luminescent layer.This crack structure is realized by thermal treatment of a layer which is provided on a substratum, and can be made optimum by an appropriate choice of the layer thickness, so that deposition in a plurality of sublayers can be advantageous. The crack structure can also be caused by a pattern which is provided in the substratum surface or by means of a gauze which serves as a substratum.
