The photoluminescence properties and quantum efficiency of potential red, green, and blue (RGB) phosphors are measured under near-ultraviolet excitation (380–420 nm). The suitability of several phosphors is discussed for their application in phosphor-liquid crystal displays (LCDs). K5Eu2.5(WO4)6.25, SrGa2S4:Eu, and BaMgAl10O17:Eu phosphors are chosen as RGB phosphors for making a phosphor-LCD prototype. The color coordinates and optical properties of phosphor-LCDs are compared to those of conventional LCDs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
