`Photoluminescent Conversion of Laser Light for
`Black and White and Multicolor Displays. 1: Materials
`
`L. G. Van Uitert, D. A. Pinnow, and J. C. Williams
`
`A numberof photoluminescent materials have been found to have properties that make them extremely
`useful for improving the qualityoflaser displays as well as offering simplifications for multicolor systems.
`Theprincipal function of these materials is that of color conversion when coated onto a laser illuminated
`viewing screen. A secondary, yet significant, role is that of rendering the converted light incoherent.
`This eliminates the unpleasant granular or speckly texture associated with direct viewing of diffusely scat-
`tered coherentlight. It is concluded that virtually any visible color may be achieved by photoluminescent
`conversion of a monochromatic blueorultraviolet laser beam.
`
`1.
`
`ibration can proceed bothradiatively by the emission of
`a photon and nonradiatively by, for example, a series of
`phononinteractions. A material is considered to be a
`phosphorif radiative emission is observed. The rela-
`tive strength of radiative transitionsis specified in terms
`of the phosphor’s quantum efficiency, defined as the
`ratio of emitted photons to absorbed photons.
`In
`general, the energy of the emitted photons is less than or
`equal to the energy of the absorbed photon (Stokes’s
`law). That is, the color of the emitted light is either
`unchanged or shifted in the direction of longer wave-
`lengths.
`In certain limited cases anti-Stokes (shorter
`wavelength) emission is also possible when additional
`energyis supplied to the single photon excited state by
`other means such as thermal excitation or multiple
`photon absorption.‘
`In the present work we will con-
`sider only Stokes emitting phosphors which have suf-
`ficiently high quantum efficiencies to be of interest for
`laser display applications. Some emphasis will be
`placed on those materials that can be excited by the
`argon ion laser which is presently the most suitable
`source for a laser display system.
`
`Introduction
`‘In a recent review of laser display technology Baker!
`pointed out that considerable motivation in this field
`stems from the promise of producing a cathode ray tube
`type of display with essentially unlimited screen size.
`He concluded that although adequatelight beam modu-
`lation and scanning techniques are presently available,
`broadly applicable equipment awaits the development
`of an efficient multicolor laser source.
`Although such a multicolor source would indeed be
`desirable, the prospects for its realization, even in the
`distant future, are speculative. However, it is clear
`that efficient monochromaticor limited color range laser
`sources can and will be developed.? The purpose of the
`present work is to show that a monochromatic laser
`source is satisfactory for white light and multicolor
`displays when advantageis taken of photoluminescence,
`the absorption of light of one wavelength and the sub-
`sequent, emissions at another wavelength. By prop-
`erly coating a viewing screen with existing organic and
`inorganic phosphorsit is possible to efficiently convert
`monochromatic blue or ultraviolet
`laser light
`into
`virtually any visible color including white. An addi-

`The broad absorption band is due to a d-band excitation.
`
`-
`
`It is possible to achieve other colors by photolumines-
`cent conversion using different rare-earth ions. For
`example, Sm‘* has a peak emission at 5980 A, Eu®t at
`6140 A, Dy*+ at 5740 A, and Er’+ at 5520 47 How-
`ever, none of these transitions other than those for Tb*+
`can be directly excited to any extent by the 4880-A line
`of
`the argon laser. Generally, shorter wavelength -
`excitation is required. However, indireet excitation of
`Eu’+ is possible through an intermediate Tb'+ ion.$
`For example, excitation transfer from Tb*+ to Eu?+ in
`Nap.sT'bp.2sEuy.2sWOs causes this material
`to emit a
`strong red color under 4880-A illumination. The ab-
`sorption bands of Tb*+ and Eu*+ and the emission of
`Eu** are displayed as a function of wavelength in Fig.
`1. The absorption cross section, quantum efficiency,
`and lifetime of this material are similar to Nao.;Tbo.5-
`WO,discussed above.
`_
`The Ce’* and Eu?+ ions are exceptions to the general
`observation that the fluorescence of rare-earth ions is
`little affected by the host. This is so because their
`emissions are from d-bands which strongly interact with
`the crystal field.° A rather unusual but useful material
`is made by adding cerium to Y3Al;0;; (YAG): The
`lower excited states of the crystal field components of
`the 5d configuration of the YAG:Ce composition are
`sufficiently low in energy that absorption of 4880-A
`light becomes appreciable.” Figure 2 shows the ab-
`sorption and emission spectra in detail. Note that the
`peak of the emission spectrum occurs at 5500
`A, the
`wavlength at which the eye is most sensitive. "We
`have found that at 4880 A the absorption cross section
`is approximately 30 dB/mm/wt % of Ce added to the
`YAGhost.
`In addition to this relatively large absorp-
`tion cross section, this compound has a very shortlife-
`time of approximately 0.07 usec (Ref. 11) and a quan-
`tum efficiency of approximately 70%." These proper-
`ties make YAG:Ce very attractive for display screen
`applications. Furthermore,
`this material may be
`tuned for a particular use. By replacing: some Y with
`Gd the peaks of the absorption and emission spectra
`shift to somewhat longer wavelengths, while replacing
`Al with Ga causes the opposite effect.° Other Ce3+ and
`Eu’* compositions that have been investigated®”
`require excitation at wavelengths substantially shorter
`than 4880 A, enerally in the ultraviolet.4
`In addition to the rare-earth compounds, there are
`large clasSes of inorganic phosphors which have II-VI
`hosts such as ZnS and activators such as Bi, Mn, Cu, '
`
`Te
`
`_
`
`So
`
`range with a high quantum efficiency, say, 50% or
`greater, since the display screen size is limited by avail-
`able light
`intensity.
`In addition,
`the conversion
`lifetime should be sufficiently short so that the screen
`will not be overly persistent;
`there is no perceptible
`consequence if
`the lifetime is exceptionally short.®
`Finally, the phosphor should beinexpensive,stable, and
`preferably nontoxic.
`
`lll. Materials
`
`Rather than attempting to cover the broad field of
`phosphors, we will discuss, by way of particular ex-
`amples,
`those materials that we consider to be par-
`ticularly suitable for
`laser display systems. They
`generally fall into two categories, inorganic rare-earth
`phosphors and organic dye phosphors. To a lesser ex-
`tent we will also consider inorganic compoundsthatare
`activated by transition metals and other organie mate-
`rials such as the aromatic hydrocarbons.

`
`Inorganic Phosphors
`According to Pringsheim,* practically all molecules
`that are photoluminescent
`in condensed states are
`rather complex. The only exceptions are the positive
`ions of some rare-earth metals. The optical properties
`of these ionsare so little perturbed by the surrounding
`medium that, even in crystals, they behave almost like
`isolated atoms, and their energy levels are well known.’
`The rare-earth Tb*+ is a particularly useful ion since
`the wavelength for maximum absorption of its ®D,
`manifold corresponds quite closely to the blue (4880
`) emission of the argon ion laser, When this ion is
`embeddedin a properly chosen host, such as a tungstate
`or a molybdate, it will emit upon excitation a strong
`_ greenish-yellow color which has a peak at approximately
`5440 A?
`Thelifetime is approximately 0.5 msec,
`| and the quantum efficiency is high, approaching 1007.
`We have examined the performance of Napo.s'T'bo.;WO,
`A) and find
`_ under excitation by an argon laser (4880
`that 1l-mm thick sample absorbs approximately 50%
`of the incident beam.
`‘This absorption cross section is
`substantially lower than optimum since a considerable
`_ thickness of material would be required to coat a display
`| sereen.

`B. Organic Phosphors
`There are a number of aromatic hydrocarbons and
`organic dyes that when properly treated exhibit strong
`fluorescence over a broad portion of the visible spec-
`trum. Under whitelight illumination several of these
`appear to glow with a particular color ranging from
`greenish-yellow through orange to bright red. This

`
`
`their quantum efficiencies are above 50%. Thus,
`these materials are almost perfectly suited for laser dis-
`play systems.
`The colors of these fluorescing dyes may be modified
`somewhat by varying the type of carrier which is used
`to form pigments and, to a lesser extent, by varying
`the type of vehicle, or binder, into which the pigmentis
`incorporated.
`It is also possible to modify colors by
`combining fluorescent dyes with nonfluorescent dyes
`that selectively absorb a portion of the emission spec-
`trum. For example,
`the emission spectrum of the
`naphthalimide dye (type 3485) show in Fig. 3 peaks at
`5300 A, in the green. Normally this fluorescence ap-
`pears to have a vellowish-green cast due to the broad
`tail of the emission spectrum which extends into the
`yellow and red. However,
`this tail can be substan-
`tially reduced by the addition of a nonfluorescing green
`toner such as phthalocyanine, !* which absorbs in the
`yellow and red.
`The result
`then is a tradeoff of
`brightness for the ability to limit the spectral content.
`In contrast to the many yellow and red emitting dyes,
`blue emitting dyes are less common. However, ex-
`amination of pyrelene in dilute alcoholic solutions in-
`dicates that it is blue fluorescing whenexcited by short
`wavelength blue light such as 4579-A emission of an
`argon laser or the 4416-A emission of a cadmiumlaser,
`while it becomes green fluorescing under longer wave-
`length blue excitation such as the 4880-A line of an ar-
`gon laser.
`In addition, pigments of coumarin which
`fluoresces blue under near ultraviolet excitation are
`commercially available."
`
`IV. Conclusion
`There exists a sufficiently wide range ofefficient or-
`ganic and inorganic phosphors that can be excited by
`laser wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to green
`and that have emission spectra covering the entire
`visible. For example, a suitable combination of blue,
`green, and red emitting phosphors can be made.
`to
`fluoresce any color desired including white whenillumi-
`nated by a blue or ultraviolet laser source.
`If the
`
`|
`
`source itself is blue, a portion of its intensity may be
`directly scattered and blended with the emission from
`green and red phosphors to achieve a similar color
`gamut.
`‘These concepts have been verified using an.
`argonion laser source which emitted only blue 4880-A
`radiation.
`In conclusion, photoluminescent conver-
`sion of a monochromatic laser source provides an attrac-
`tive means for achieving white andlight and multicolor
`for display system applications.

`COVER
`
`This month's cover shows constant-hue and saturation loci derived from geodesic chroma-
`ticity diagram. The radii of the constant-saturation circles on the & diagram were 20n;
`the angular separations of points were 18°/n. The constant-hue loci shown correspond to
`radii separated by 18° in the én diagram.
