  2. REFLECTIVE ELECTRODE DIELECTRIC STACK Va PHOSPHOR 1µm DIELECTRIC STACK TRANSPARENT CONDUCTOR GLASS SUBSTRATE Typical VIL for ZnS:Mn Display Device Device Structure

  3. Mn e- 3 5 2 Electrode 4 1 Electrode Insulator Phosphor Insulator 1) Electron ejection due to high electric field from the cathodic interface 2) Electron gains velocity, becoming “hot” 3) Electron impact excites activator atom (Mn or Cu) 4) Impacting electron reaches anode contributing to the built-in reverse field 5) Excited atom relaxes, emitting light

  4. SrS:Cu

  5. Comparisons • Secondary Luminance Peaks • Total Luminance is Small • Comparable Amount of Tunnel Current

  6. Possible Causes for Low Luminance • Lack of Tunnel Current (not the case) • Excessive Impact Ionization - but this can Only Explain low Luminance but does not Explain Secondary Peaks • “Other” Mechanism Needed to Explain Behavior

  7. Hypothesize We Hypothesize a Mechanism that Causes Luminance with a Field Reduction for a Given Device History

  8. Changing the Electric Field without Causing Tunnel Current

  9. Current Characteristics

  10. Luminance Characteristics

  11. During dent ramp iL(t) 0, however there is an increase in L(t) means that electrons are recaptured by ionized activators a) Come from Interface State and only Recaptured by nearby Ionized Activators b) Formed by the Activator and a Defect Produced by the Activators Presence in the Lattice electrically forming a Dipole

  12. Dipoles Positively Charged Activator Negatively Charged Trap • Are Activator-Bulk Trap pair Formed by the Introduction of the Activator in the Phosphor • Bulk Trap is Localized in Close Vicinity of the Activator • A Certain Minimum Field is Needed to Create/Maintain the dipole

  13. Transient Results Tunnel Current appears in the very first pulse Luminance becomes noticeable in the 4th voltage pulse

  14. Conclusions • A more Complete Model is required to study SrS:Cu • Currently this Dipole Model is able to Explain the Observed Features but • Further work is required
