VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY. DEVELOPMENT OF THICK FILM ELECTROLUMINESCENT LIGHTING FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATION
A "Thick film Electroluminescence (EL) device" has advantages in its thin structure, light weight, uniform lighting, and mechanical flexibility (bending). From these advantages, the thick film EL can be regarded as the optimum light source for recent cars which require a high packaging density consisting of various components to be mounted in a small space. The authors prototyped an EL device utilizing a transparent conductive film which is moisture proof and has uniform light intensity; they evaluated and analyzed its performance. Consequently, they confirmed that the degradation of luminous intensity is caused by moisture invasion. Based on the above findings, the authors developed a new thick film EL device with new structure and materials which extends its life twice as long as conventional lighting operating in a high temperature and high humidity environment.
