Abstract

This paper will review the electrical and optical properties of both monochrome and color electroluminescent (EL) displays. A simple electrical model for thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) device operation will be presented and used to describe the luminance and power consumption of TFEL devices. The basic material characteristics desirable for EL phosphors will be described. Progress in the development of monochrome and color EL displays will be presented including TFEL and Active Matrix EL devices and phosphors.
