Abstract

865,969. Electroluminescent materials and uses. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO., E. I. June 28, 1957 [July 3, 1956], No. 20530/57. Class 39(1). Zinc sulphide or zinc-cadmium sulphide (up to 7% mol cadmium) activated within the critical range of 0.2-2.0% by weight of manganese is stated to have the property that luminescent energy stored in it by excitation radiation can be subsequently released as visible light by the application of an electric field; and this property is unaffected even by intense infra-red ambient illumination. The: property is used in a storage element, such as a tape, for the storage of information by means of the excitation radiation and its release by application of the electric field. An electric field of not more than 50,000 V/cm. may also be applied during excitation and the releasing field must then be greater than this (up to 150,000 V/cm.). Several applications of the same releasing field, which may be direct or alternating up to 500 kc./s., give succesive images of gradually diminishing intensity, or of the same intensity with successively increasing fields; the first may be used for monitoring purpose and the subsequent ones for actual recording. The excitation radiation may be electromagnetic radiation of wavelength below 5000Š, i.e. visible blue light, ultra-violet, X-rays and y-rays, and also α- and #-particles; but not electric fields or infrared. A filter dye against blue or ultra-violet radiation may be incorporated in the phosphor or in separate layers on each side of the phosphor layer. The time interval between the ending of excitation and the application of the releasing field may be as low as 15 secs. or as much as 20 hours. The phosphor is prepared by heating with a flux, such as an alkaline or alkaline-earth chloride or bromide or magnesium sulphate, to 550‹C. for 30 mins. A binder may be used, preferably a chlorosulphonated addition polymer of a mono- or di-olefin containing 2-5 carbon atoms per molecule, but many others are mentioned. The support may be any suitable film-forming material, many being mentioned but polyethylene terephthalate sheet being preferred; or paper, glass, metal, fabric. An X-ray sensitive element may have the phosphor on a metal support through which the rays act. A highly-reflective titanium dioxide layer may be used to exclude undesired radiation. Filter dyes may be Tartrazine, Auramine O, and many others. Fifteen detailed examples are given.
