Sunlight viewable electroluminescent displays for military application

A new advanced type of high ambient viewing AC electroluminescence has been developed incorporating a combination of high contrast and high brightness techniques. The improvement in the contrast is achieved by a black absorption layer within the thin film structure. Improvement in the brightness is attributed to increasing the refresh rate by a magnitude. This can only be accomplished by a magnitude decrease in front electrode impedance with the use of a new metalized structure to reinforce the ITO electrodes and lower their resistance
