The EL panel itself shouldn't have any pattern on it. I'm always worried that using a translucent diffuser might add some grain to the flat and end up in the picture. If you want a diffuser because the light is too bright just feed less voltage and you'll be able to dim the output. But I'd refrain from adding anymore layers in the light path. I framed my A4 sheet in a photo frame from Office works with a glass front that I keep clean.
