Abstract

Thin film phosphors are very promising for the fabrication of flat panel field emission displays (FEDs). In the present paper we have reported the growth and characterization of Eu:Y2O3 phosphor thin films. The effect of surface roughness and crystallinity on the brightness of phosphor films have been studied. A post annealing treatment of the films have been found to result in the realization of Eu:Y2O3 films with 70% brightness compared to powder materials.
