Planar Electroluminescent Cell Developed

Buffalo, N. Y.—Increased brightness, longer life and adaptability to largescale displays are advantages claimed for electroluminescent (EL) cells made in single-surface rather than multilayer configuration. This planar cell arrangement has been used in a display panel designed and built by the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Radio Astronomy Explorer-A satellite (AW&ST Nov. 13, cover).
