Abstract

AC powder EL devices were fabricated by screen printing method with the dielectric materials in insulating layer and the electrical resistivity of rear electrode. Brightness and current density were measured at voltage range of 50∼300 $V_{rms}$ to estimate optoelectrical properties of AC powder EL devices, respectively. Frequency generator was used as system producing frequency and voltage of a sine wave. Brightness and current density were measured by luminometer and multimeter. Also, dielectric constant for dielectric layer was measured by impedance analyser after preparing thick film. Dielectric constant was improved with amount of $TiO_2$ to $BaTiO_3$ powder. By applying such a process to dielectric layer of low cost AC powder EL device, brightness was improved to 50 cd/$m^2$ at similar current density. Dielectric constant $BaTiO_3$ powder by solution combustion process is better than commercial $BaTiO_3$ powder. By applying to that of low power consumption AC powder EL device, brightness was improved to 85 cd/$m^2$. Brightness of AC powder EL device was relatively decreased by control of electrical resistivity of rear electrode, current density was also decreased.

AC powder EL 소자를 절연층의 유전재료와 후면전극의 전기비저항을 변화시켜 스크린 프린팅법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 소자의 광전기적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 인가 전압은 50∼300 $V_{rms}$까지 변화시켜 휘도 및 전류밀도를 측정하였다. 주파수 및 전압공급원은 정현파 발생 장치로서 frequency generator를 이용하였다. 휘도는 luminometer 의해 측정되었으며 전류밀도 측정을 위하여 multimeter를 사용하였다. 또한 유전층에 대한 유전율을 후막 제조 후 impedance analyser(HP 4194 A)를 이용하여 측정하였다. $TiO_2$ 분말을 $BaTiO_3$에 첨가함에 따라 유전율의 향상으로 초저가형 AC powder EL 소자의 유전층에 적용함으로써 거의 비슷한 전류밀도 하에 50 cd/$m^2$ 정도의 향상된 휘도를 얻을 수 있었다. 저전력 소모형 AC powder EL 소자의 유전층에 적용시 상용분말을 이용한 경우보다 용액 연소법에 의해 제조된 $BaTiO_3$ 분말을 이용한 경우가 더욱 향상된 85 cd/$m^2$ 정도의 휘도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 후면전극의 전기 비저항을 조절함으로써 AC powder EL 소자의 휘도는 비교적 감소하지만 전류밀도를 낮출 수 있었다.
