a transparent or translucent first electrode, a second conductive electrode and
an electroluminescent phosphor layer sandwiched between the transparent or translucent
first electrode and the second conductive electrode, wherein the first and second
electrodes each comprises a polymer or copolymer of a 3,4-dialkoxythiophene, which
may be the same or different, in which the two alkoxy groups may be the same or
different or together represent an optionally substituted oxy-alkylene-oxy bridge;
a display comprising the above-mentioned electroluminescent device; a lamp comprising
the above-mentioned electroluminescent device; manufacturing processes for the
above-mentioned electroluminescent devices; and the use of such devices for the
integrated backlighting of static and dynamic posters and signage.
