Abstract

Excited with triangular voltage pulses, electroluminescent thin-film emitters based on manganese-doped zinc sulfide exhibit a two-stage buildup and decay of the instantaneous emission brightness. The fast decay stage corresponds to the Mn2+ ion relaxation in zinc sulfide at a time constant of 1.4 ms. Preceding the fast stage, the slow decay stage has a time constant ten times greater and accounts for a markedly increased afterglow (phosphorescence) duration. The luminance level corresponding to the transition from the first to second stage is virtually independent of the applied voltage and the charge passed through the luminophor.
