Abstract

An inorganic electroluminescent display device including a substrate, a first electrode formed on the substrate, a first insulation layer formed on the first electrode, a luminescent layer formed on the first insulation layer, a second insulation layer formed on the luminescent layer, and a second electrode formed on the second insulation layer. A diffraction grid is provided at at least one of a first interface between the first insulation layer and the luminescent layer and a second interface between the second insulation layer and the luminescent layer.

Claims (21)

1. An inorganic electroluminescent display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode formed on the substrate;

a first insulation layer formed on the first electrode;

a luminescent layer formed on the first insulation layer;

a second insulation layer formed on the luminescent layer; and

a second electrode formed on the second insulation layer,

wherein a diffraction grid is provided at at least one of a first interface and a second interface, and

wherein the first interface is between the first insulation layer and the luminescent layer and the second interface is between the second insulation layer and the luminescent layer,

wherein at least one surface of the first insulation layer is flat, and at least one surface of the second insulation layer is flat.

2. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein the diffraction grid is formed having protrusions.

3. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein one of the first electrode and the second electrode is reflective.

4. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein one of the first electrode and the second electrode is reflective.

5. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein the protrusions have a hexahedron shape, a cylindrical shape, or a stripe shape.

6. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein an interval between the protrusions is in a range of about ¼ to about 4 times a wavelength of light generated in the luminescent layer.

7. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of the first insulation layer or the second insulation layer is within a range of about 1.5 to about 2.5.

8. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein a refractive index of the first insulation layer or the second insulation layer is within a range of about 1.5 to about 2.5.

9. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein the first insulation layer or the second insulation layer is made of a transparent oxide or sulfide material.

10. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein the first insulation layer or the second insulation layer is made of a transparent oxide or sulfide material.

11. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 1 , wherein the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer are made of a material selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, and oxide of silicon nitride.

12. The inorganic electroluminescent display device of claim 2 , wherein the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer are made of a material selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, and oxide of silicon nitride.
