Abstract
Over the past few years, phosphors of the gold-activated zinc sulphide type have been developed for use in television tubes. They are now applied for this purpose on a large scale by manufacturers in Japan and, as a result, their luminescence is a familiar feature in homes throughout the world. The scientific and technical background to the development of these products is presented here and their applications are described.
