Original Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to study the optical and electrical characterization of Alternating-Current Thin-Film ElectroLuminescent (ACTFEL) devices, and specifically the aging process of phosphor materials that comprise the ACTFEL display in an effort to improve the overall performance of the primary phosphor colors in terms of brightness, efficiency and stability. The study of the aging characteristics of evaporated and atomic layer epitaxy ZnS:Mn phosphors has been undertaken by monitoring the luminance-voltage (L-V) internal charge-phosphor field (Q-Fp) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) electrical characteristics at in selected time intervals during aging. Short-term and long-term ACTFEL aging studies has been provided and an attempt to visualize locally the structure of phosphor with a subwavelenght resolution using Scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) has also been presented. The practical case of a green Zn2GeO4:Mn (2% Mn) ACTFEL device operated at 50 Hz has been studied and a luminance stability by a measurement of luminance-voltage (L-V) and luminous efficiency-voltage ( -V) characteristics evaluated.
