Claims
- 1. An electroluminescent lamp (EL lamp) comprising:(a) a transparent substrate; (b) a light-transmitting electrode-layer formed on said transparent substrate; (c) an adhesive synthetic resin layer formed on said light-transmitting electrode-layer; (d) a luminescent layer formed of the synthetic resin layer and the phosphor particles sinking in the synthetic resin layer; (e) a dielectric layer formed on said luminescent layer; and (d) a back electrode-layer formed on said dielectric layer, wherein a bottom surface of substantially all of the phosphor particles in the synthetic resin layer contacts the light-transmitting electrode-layer underneath.
- 2. The EL lamp of claim 1, wherein said synthetic resin layer is not adhesive at a room temperature and gains adhesion by heating.
- 3. The EL lamp of claim 1, wherein a diameter of one of the phosphor particles is greater than a thickness of said synthetic resin layer.
- 4. The EL lamp of claim 1, wherein a principal ingredient of said synthetic resin layer is one of cyano resin, fluororubber, polyester resin and phenoxy resin.
- 5. The EL lamp of claim 1, wherein a thickness of said synthetic resin layer is not less than 0.01 μm and not more than 50 μm.
- 6. The EL lamp of claim 1, wherein a diameter of one of the phosphor particles is not less than 25 μm and not more than 90 μm.
- 7. The EL lamp of claim 1, wherein a shape of said transparent substrate is a curved-surface shape.
