This invention relates to an X-Y matrix type electroluminescent display panel. The panel includes a transparent insulating substrate, transparent and parallel X-electrodes of strip shape provided on said transparent insulating substrate, a D.C. electroluminescent layer provided on said transparent parallel electrodes; parallel Y-electrodes of strip shape provided on said D.C. electroluminescent layer, the direction of said Y-electrodes being perpendicular to that of said X-electrodes, said X- and Y-electrodes and said D.C. electroluminescent layer defining display elements at the intersections of said X- and Y-electrodes; and a mesh-shaped insulating layer, preferably of black color, for insulating said display elements from each other at least in the vicinity of said X-electrodes. Because of the mesh-shaped insulating layer, it becomes possible to achieve uniform "forming" of said D.C. electroluminescent layer and to improve the brightness and contrast of the resultant display panel. |
