ac anddc electroluminescence in CaS:Cu,Sm phosphors

Theac anddc electroluminescence in CaS:Cu, Sm have been investigated. The luminescence spectra show three peaks in the visible region. The brightness-voltage dependence satisfies the relationB=B ₀ exp (−b/V ^1/2) with two modes of variation. The nature of this dependence indc andac at different frequencies is discussed. The electroluminescence brightness also depends on the temperature of the phosphors and shows a peak around 80.0;C. The electroluminescence efficiency increases with applied voltage up to 2200 V and this dependence on V is explained on the basis of a transport process of the Schottky emission type.
