  • Abstract
    Bright direct-current electroluminescence has been obtained in ZnS: Cu: CI: RE (rare earth) thin films with good maintenance characteristics and efficiency. Different rare-earth elements have been used as dopants, either singly or together, to give devices which exhibit various colour electroluminescence. Brightness/voltage curves were measured as a function of device temperature, and electroluminescence spectra were also recorded.
