EL Displays Based on ALE Grown Phosphors and Insulator Thin Films

From Planar Systems, Inc.
 

 

The development and current performance status of electroluminescent (EL) displays based on Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE) grown phosphor and insulator thin films is reviewed in this paper. The performance of ZnS:Mn based monochrome and multicolor EL display products is discussed, as well as the development status of new phosphors for full color EL displays. The importance of high quality insulators is emphasized also.

Monochrome and multicolor EL displays are today widely used in industrial, medical electronics, instrumentation and transportation, as well as in special office applications. Excellent picture quality with wide viewing angle, fast response time and very wide operating temperature range, as well as a compact and reliable structure and very long lifetime, are the main characteristics of these displays. Over 250,000 EL displays are produced annually worldwide and the accumulated number of EL display installed in various end-user equipment is over one million.
