Display research has comprised a substantial portion of the defense investment in new technology for national security for the past 13 years. These investments have been made by the separate service departments and, especially, via several Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs, known collectively as the High Definition Systems (HDS) Program (which ended in 2001) and via the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Defense Production Act (DPA) ...
This report presents the results of a characterization and evaluation effort on a Fujitsu 42-in. color AC plasma display. The Fujitsu display is a state of the art plasma display with a size and resolution that is commercially available only from a foreign manufacturer. The objective of this effort is to evaluate the latest in foreign display technology. Areas of characterization and evaluation covered in this report are luminance/uniformity measurements, ...
Zn2SiO4:Mn thin films were produced and studied for their potential application as thin film phosphors for high-resolution flat-panel cathodoluminescent displays. Crystallized films with improved electrical conductivity were obtained after conventional and rapid thermal annealings in an N2 environment at 850 to 1100 deg C for 0.25 to 60 min. A maximum cathodoluminescent efficiency of 1.3 lm/W was achieved under dc excitation at 1500 V. The luminescent emission from these thin ...
