Fabrication of ZnS: Cu/PVA nanocomposite electroluminescence devices for flat panel displays

Abstract

The powder of ZnS nanoparticles were prepared by using chemical deposition technique and characterized by electroluminescence techniques are reported in this paper. The estimated size of ZnS:Cu nanocrystals with change in capping agent concentration and ZnS:Cu/PVA nanocomposites and no effect of doping has been observed on the absorption spectra. Electroluminescence (EL) investigations of nanocrystalline powder as well as nanocomposites, it is seen that Log B vs. 1/?V curve is a straight line with negative slope. This indicates that EL is produced by acceleration-collision mechanism. The detail EL characterization and application in display devices of these materials are reported in this paper. © 2013 VBRI press.
