Joint PTCOE/SI Diamond study resulted in breakthrough on low-voltage
phosphor performance - this advance considerably lessens the risks in manufacturing
low-voltage FED flat panel displays.
System operational requirements for FED phosphors comprehensively defined
to give phosphor specifications for manufacturing.

brightness at 20V lower threshold voltage.
New characterization techniques and modeling of TFELs have identified
paths for device improvement.
Zn addition to blue thiogallate phosphor increases brightness and lowers
threshold voltage (15-30% improvement).
Identified new EL material structures that promise very low-voltage
EL devices.
Identified high quantum efficiency R,G,B phosphors for plasma display.
