Abstract

Luminescent characteristics of SrS:Cu,X TFeL devices fabricated by electron-beam deposition system were studied. The SrS powders were used as the host materials and Cu, $CuF_2,\;Cu_2S$ or CuCl powders were added as the luminescent center. The emission spectra of the SrS:Cu,X TFEL devices strongly depended on coactivators. The luminance($L_{40}$) and efficiency(${\eta}_{20}$) of SrS:$Cu_2S$ TFEL device were 1443 cd/$m^2$ and 2.44 lm/w, respectively. Green color was observed from this TFEL device. The luminous efficiency of SrS:$Cu_2S$ TFEL device was higher than that of ZnS:Tb TFEL device, and it also could be good green phosphors for TFEL devices. The luminance($L_{40}$) and efficiency(${\eta}_{20}$) of SrS:CuCl TFEL device were 262 cd/$m^2$ and 0.26 lm/w, respectively. Blue color was emitted from this TFEL device.

전자빔 증착 장비를 이용하여 SrS:Cu,X TFEL 소자를 제작한 후, 발광 특성을 분석하였다. 형광체 모체는 SrS 분말을 사용하였고 발광 중심체로는 Cu, $CuF_2,\;Cu_2S$ 또는 CuCl 등의 미분말을 사용하였다. SrS:Cu,X TFEL 소자의 발광 특성은 부활성제에 따라 매우 많은 변화를 나타내었다. SrS:$Cu_2$ TFEL 소자의 휘도($L_{40}$)와 효율 (${\eta}_{20}$)은 각각 1443 cd/$m^2$와 2.44 lm/w를 나타내었고, 녹색 빛의 발광 효율은 ZnS:Tb TFEL 소자보다 높아 새로운 녹색 형광체로의 활용이 기대되었다. SrS:CuCl TFEL 소자의 휘도($L_{40}$)와 효율(${\eta}_{20}$)은 각각 262 cd/$m^2$와 0.26 lm/w를 나타내었고 청색 빛을 방출하여 새로운 청색 형광체로의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.
