Far-ultraviolet plane-emission handheld device based on hexagonal boron nitride

Abstract: A handheld and battery-operated far-ultraviolet plane-emission device is demonstrated. The device has low current consumption and stable operation at an output power of 0.2 mW at 225 nm, and may be useful in photochemical and biotechnological applications such as photo catalysis, sterilization and the modification of chemical substances.

The ZnGa2 O 4 Phosphor for Low‐Voltage Blue Cathodoluminescence

Abstract: This paper reports on the ZnCa{sub 2}O{sub 4} phosphor investigated for its application to vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs) utilizing low-voltage cathodoluminescence. It is expected that this oxide phosphor does not cause damage to filaments in VFD's, while it is a serious problem for conventional sulfide phosphors. This phosphor shows blue luminescence with a spectral peak at with 470 nm and a chromaticity at X = 0.170 and Y = 0.130. A luminous efficiency of 0.7 lm/W has been obtained, when the VFD with this phosphor is operated at 30 V dc. The results of high-temperature operating life test have proven the excellent stability of VFDs utilizing this phosphor.

Blue-emitting AlN:Eu2+ nitride phosphor for field emission displays

Abstract: An Eu2+-activated AlN phosphor was synthesized by firing the powder mixture of AlN, α-Si3N4, and Eu2O3 at 2050°C for 4h under 1.0MPa N2. This nitride phosphor emits a strong blue color with the chromaticity coordinates of x=0.139 and y=0.106 at an accelerating voltage of 3kV. The cathodoluminescence properties of AlN:Eu2+ was evaluated by utilizing it in the Spindt-type field emission display panel. It shows that the nitride phosphor exhibits higher brightness, higher color purity, lower saturation, and longer lifetime than the currently used Y2SiO5:Ce3+, indicative of the suitability of the AlN:Eu2+ blue phosphor in field emission displays.
