Ry. Lee et al., INVESTIGATION OF CE-DOPED SILICATES FOR LOW-VOLTAGE FIELD-EMISSION DISPLAYS, Journal of vacuum science & technology. B, Microelectronics and nanometer structures processing, measurement and phenomena, 16(2), 1998, pp. 855-857
The feasibility of using Ce-doped silicates as an alternative to the P
22 blue phosphor (ZnS:Ag) was investigated for low voltage field emiss
ion displays (FEDs). Silicates of various composition were evaluated b
ased on their chromaticity, intrinsic efficiency, and brightness satur
ation behavior. The influence of silicate composition and particle mor
phology on the cathodoluminescence properties was also assessed. Satur
ation measurements indicated that the high saturation resistance of th
e Ce-doped samples can yield better performance than ZnS:Ag when opera
ting at low voltages. The silicates are also attractive for their stab
ility in a FED environment. (C) 1998 American Vacuum Society. [S0734-2
