Electroluminescent Display

 

 

Electroluminescent displays (ELDs) sandwich a thin phosphorescent film between two plates. One plate is coated with vertical wires. The other is coated with horizontal wires. Together, the plates form a grid. When an electrical current is passed through horizontal and vertical wires, the phosphorescent film at the intersection glows, creating a point of light or pixel.

ELDs are emissive devices that do not shutter the light source like liquid crystal displays (LCD). They are best-suited for applications which require high visibility for all-light conditions.
