Abstract

The high efficient AC powder EL devices classified by low cost and low power consumption type fabricated using screen printing method with film thickness and organic binder. Brightness and current density were measured at frequency range of 400Hz∼1kHz and voltage range of 50∼300V$\_$rms/ to estimate optoelectrical properties of AC powder EL devices, respectively. Frequency generator was used as system producing frequency and voltage of a sine wave. Also brightness and current density were measured by luminometer and multimeter. In the case of low cost type AC powder EL device, brightness and current density were about 43 cd/m$^2$and 20$\mu$A/cm$^2$when the thickness of phosphor and dielectric layer was 45∼50$\mu$m under no addition of plasticizer respectively. In the case of low power consumption type AC powder EL device, brightness and current density were about 74 cd/m$^2$and 30∼40$\mu$A/cm$^2$when the thickness of phosphor and dielectric layer was 45∼50$\mu$m and 15∼20$\mu$m under addition of 15wt% plasticizer respectively. Also, AC powder EL device fabricated in this study showed absolutely excellent characteristics as the lifetime was longer than products of other company.

고효율 AC powder EL 소자를 초저가형과 저전력 소모형으로 분류하여 막의 두께와 제조된 유기결합제에 따라 스크린 프린팅법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 소자의 광전기적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 인가 주파수는 400Hz~1kHz, 인가 전압은 50~300 $V_{rms}$까지 변화시켜 휘도 및 전류밀도를 측정하였다. 주파수 및 전압공급원은 정현파 발생 장치로서 frequency generator를 이용하였다. 또한 휘도는 luminometer 의해 측정되었으며 전류밀도 측정을 위하여 multimeter를 사용하였다. 초저가형 AC powder EL 소자의 경우에는 가소제를 첨가하지 않고 발광층의 두께는 45~50$\mu\textrm{m}$이며 유전층의 두께는 약 10$\mu\textrm{m}$에서 43cd/$m^2$ 정도의 휘도와 20$\mu$A/$cm^2$정도의 전류밀도를 얻을 수 있었으며 저전력 소모형 AC powder EL 소자의 경우에는 15wt의 가소제 첨가하에 발광층의 두께는 45~50$\mu$m이며 유전층의 두께는 15~20$\mu$m에서 74cd/ $m^2$정도의 휘도와 30~40$\mu$A/ $m^2$정도의 전류밀도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 수명시간에 있어서 본 연구에서 제조한 AC powder EL 소자가 타사 제품보다 절대적으로 우수한 특성을 보였다.다.
