The characteristics of inorganic electroluminescent devices with an amorphous diamond film as cathode material

Investigation of nitrogen doped diamond like carbon films as counter electrodes in dye sensitized solar cells

“…The Pt is deposited by ion sputtering for standard ITO/Pt CE and by RF sputtering for remaining CEs. Cr and nitrogen doped DLC are deposited using cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (PVD) similar to our earlier report [25].…”

First-principles study of structural and opto-electronic characteristics of ultra-thin amorphous carbon films

“…Owing to its high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, and low thermal conductivity, DLC has been used in applications such as protective coatings for storage disks, optical windows, and electroluminescent films. [2][3][4] Furthermore, these advantages, which are associated with a low surface work function, enable the use of a-C in flat panel displays and photoelectric emitter devices. [5,6] Additionally, by adjusting the sp 3 /sp 2 hybridization ratio, the electronic properties of a-C films can be rapidly and reversibly switched between a high resistive state (HRS) and a low resistive state (LRS).…”

Evaluation of distributed-type inorganic electroluminescence devices using comb-shaped electrodes

“…An improved luminance in thin-film EL devices has also been reported. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] In particular, EL devices using high-luminance blue-emitting phosphors have achieved high luminance and long lifetime, and these devices have been tested for application in full-color displays using a technique based on color conversion to display the three primary colors. 33) Moreover, the matrixing of distributed EL devices, which has been proposed for use in the mass production of simple-pattern devices, has also been reported.…”
