| Abstract: | In order to realize full-color electroluminescent (EL) displays, which are expected as a dominant candidate for the future multimedia flat panel display, blue EL devices with SrGa2S4:Ce have been prepared by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). This paper proposes a novel deposition method employing Sr metal and Ga2S4 compound as the source materials. A single-phase SrGa2S4 layer is obtained in a Ga2S3/Sr flux ratio of 60 and at the growth temperature of 560°C. We have obtained the well-saturated blue with CIE color coordinates of x=0.14, y=0.14 and brighter blue EL devices made by optimizing the growth conditions in MBE. The maximum luminance of 70 cd/m2 in comparison with the 3 cd/m2 of our previous EL devices, is achieved at a driving frequency of 1 kHz |
