Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) from newly developed Eu-activated CaAl2O4 -based multicomponent oxide phosphor thin films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering are described. Yellowish green and blue emissions in PL were obtained in as-deposited and postannealed ((CaAl2O4)1−x–(BaAl2O4)x):Eu and ((CaAl2O4)1−x–(MgAl2O4)x):Eu thin films, respectively. In addition, blue emission in EL was observed from thin-film electroluminescent (TFEL) devices fabricated by using ((CaAl2O4)1−x–(BaAl2O4)x):Eu thin films postannealed at 1000°C in an Ar+H2(5%) gas atmosphere. A luminance of 3.2cd∕m2 for blue emission was obtained in a ((CaAl2O4)0.44–(BaAl2O4)0.56):Eu TFEL device driven by a 1kHz sinusoidal wave ac voltage; the blue EL emission corresponds to the CIE color coordinates of (x=0.24, y=0.13).
