2. Description of the Related Art An electroluminescent (EL) light-emitting panel is a thin light-emitting element in which an insulator layer and a light-emitting layer are laminated between a back electrode layer and a surface electrode layer. By applying a high-frequency voltage between the back electrode layer and the front electrode layer, the light emitting layer is excited to emit light. This EL light-emitting panel is used for a backlight of a liquid crystal display or the like because it can be easily reduced in weight, consumes low power, and can emit uniform surface light. Attempts have been made to provide a pattern display function by paying attention to its superiority and to use it for a sign board such as a traffic sign.

A metal foil or a thin plate is typically used for the back electrode layer. Examples of metals include aluminum, copper and its alloys, nickel and the like. Other metals may be used as long as they have sufficient conductivity. Note that a transparent conductive material similar to the surface electrode layer may be used. The light-emitting layer may be any material that is usually used for an EL light-emitting display element. In general, the light-emitting layer is obtained by blending an organic binder or a fluorescent pigment as needed with a phosphor. This phosphor powder is obtained by adding an activator or a coactivator serving as a luminescent center to a base material. ZnS or the like is used as the base material. Examples of the activator and coactivator include copper, chlorine, iodine, manganese, and aluminum. Further, the light emitting layer can have different emission colors by changing the type of activator, coactivator or pigment according to the display pattern. Note that the thickness of the light emitting layer is not limited.

According to the light emitting display panel of the present invention, it is only necessary to partially apply a voltage to a light emitting portion, so that power consumption can be reduced. In addition, since the display device has various light emission patterns, when used for a signboard or a display panel, a display with a strong impression and high visibility is possible as compared with a conventional backlight-type display device. Further, since the structure is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and problems such as failures are unlikely to occur.
