Electroluminescence ͑EL͒ was observed on conventional cathodoluminescent ͑CL͒ phosphor with the incorporation of carbon nanotube ͑CNT͒ at ambient air. The role of CNT can be understood as enhancing the local electrical field, which allows electron injection to the active center of phosphor at relatively low operating voltages. In this EL device, the brightness of CL phosphor was significantly improved from no light emission in the case of no addition of CNT to 35 cd/ m 2 with 1 wt % CNT at 10 kHz of ac 300 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
