YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphor powders were synthesized using $Al(OH)_3$ seeds by means of a PVA-polymer-solution route. Various types of PVA with different molecular weights (different polymerization) were used. All dried precursor gels were calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ and then heated at $1500^{\circ}C$ in a mix of nitrogen and hydrogen gases. The final powders were characterized via XRD, SEM, PSA, PL, and PKG analyses. The phosphor properties and morphologies of the synthesized powders were dependent on the PVA type. As the molecular weight of the PVA was increased, the particle size gradually decreased with agglomeration, and the luminous intensity of the phosphor increased. However, the phosphor powder prepared from the PVA exhibiting very high molecular weight, showed a 531 nm (blue) shift from the 541 nm (yellow) wavelength of the YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphor. Finally, the synthesized YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphor powder prepared from the PVA with 89,000 - 98,000 molecular weight showed phosphor properties similar to those of a commercial phosphor powder, but without a post-treatment process.

YAG phosphor powders were fabricated by the atmospheric plasma spraying method with the spray-dried spherical YAG precursor. The YAG precursor slurry for the spray drying process was prepared by the PVA solution chemical processing utilizing a domestic easy-sintered aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) powder as a seed. The homogenous and viscous slurry resulted in dense granules, not hollow or porous particles. The synthesized phosphor powders demonstrated a stable YAG phase, and excellent fluorescence properties of approximately 115% compared with commercial YAG:Ce³⁺ powder. The microstructure of the phosphor powder had a perfect spherical shape and an average particle size of approx imately 30 ㎛. As a result of the PKG test of the YAG phosphor powder, the synthesized phosphor powders exhibited an outstanding luminous intensity, and a peak wavelength was observed at 531 nm.

A inorganic powder EL lamp was made by screen printing technique with phosphor ink and dielectric ink. The thickness change of a phosphor ink layer and a dielectric ink layer were not influenced on dielectric content, but rely on phosphor size and vehicle. Once finishing screen printing technique with phosphor ink and dielectric ink, and its surface has been printed again before not drying of phosphor ink and dielectric ink. Then phosphor ink and dielectric ink were not transferred. The electric capacity of inorganic powder EL lamp was more influenced on dielectric content than the thickness of dielectric ink layer, and it was more dependent on the thickness of phosphor ink layer than the thickness of dielectric ink layer.

$YAG:Ce^{3+}$ phosphor powders were synthesized using a $Al_2O_3$ seed (average particle size: 5 ${\mu}m$) by the polymer solution route. PVA solution was added to the sol precursors consisting of the seed powder and metal nitrate salts for homogeneous mixing in atomic scale. All dried precursor gels were calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ and then heated at $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$ in $N_2/H_2$ atmosphere. The final powders were characterized by using XRD, SEM, PSA, PL and PKG test. All synthesized powders were crystallized to YAG phase without intermediate phases of YAM or YAP. The phosphor properties and morphologies of the synthesized powders were strongly dependent on the PVA content. Finally, the synthesized $YAG:Ce^{3+}$ phosphor powder heated at $1500^{\circ}C$, which is prepared from 12:1 PVA content and has an average particle size of 15 ${\mu}m$, showed similar phosphor properties to a commercial phosphor powder.

The inorganic powder EL lamp was made by screen printing technique with a phosphor ink and a dielectric ink. The thickness of a phosphor ink layer and a dielectric ink layer is $35{\mu}m$ and $54{\mu}m$ respectively. A increasing ratio of the luminance of inorganic powder EL lamp to be a 1P1PD-phosphor ink layer in which increased voltage at constant frequency is higher 12% than when increased frequency at constant voltage. It is higher 57% than when increased frequency at constant voltage that the rate of increase of the luminance of inorganic powder EL lamp to be a 2PD-phosphor ink layer in which increased voltage at constant frequency. Finally, when increased voltage at constant frequency, a increasing ratio of the luminance of inorganic powder EL lamp to be a 2PD-phosphor ink layer is higher about 40% than that to be a 1P1PD-phosphor ink layer.

A novel ink-jet printing method was investigated for fine patterning of phosphor layer in PDP using a precision nozzle printing. A reverse emulsion method was developed for the synthesis of nano-sized phosphor powder that could be formulated in the phosphor ink. The composition of the phosphor ink including charge controlling agents, solvent, dispersant and nano-sized phosphor powder was optimized for the fine patterning of phosphor layer for high resolution PDP.

In this paper, to discover the brightness improvement of ZnS:Cu powder electroluminescence (EL), a new structure is proposed in which phosphor and dielectric are mixed between electrodes. Dielectric and phosphor material are BaTiO$_3$ and ZnS:Cu, respectively. The effect of the mixed layer on EL sample is considered the improvement of source efficiency. Although the number of electrons introduced into the phosphor increases only modestly, the high electric field region of phosphor grains increases comparatively in the characteristics of brightness-voltage. Furthermore, the relaxation occurs through leading and trailing edge pairs, which is relatively efficient in characteristics of decay time. With these results, we found that the brightness of newly proposed ZnS:Cu powder electroluminescence was 167.24 cd/$m^2$ at ac voltage of 100V and frequency of 400Hz.

YAG:Tb3+ as green phosphor were studied for the development of low voltage FED phosphor prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. We changed the concentration of luminescence center ion Tb3+ in hydrothermal reaction of which conditions were at 8M NH4OH as mineralizer, at 35$0^{\circ}C$ for 12hrs. As results, we could finally get the YAG:Tb3+ (Y3-xTbxAl5O12) powder of which particle size was about 0.2~1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The excitation spectra and the green emitted spectra of YAG:Tb3+ phosphor powder were observed. When we doped 0.25 mol Tb to YAG, we could observe the maximum cathodoluminescence from YAG:Tb3+ phosphor and the chromaticity coordinate of the phosphor was shown x=0.35, y=0.56 in CIE1931 diagram.

Powder type electroluminescent device(P-ELD) in this study was prepared by printing method. P-ELDs were basically composed of phosphor, insulator and transparent conducting layer. The phosphor powder was prepared by sintering the mixture of ZnS as a host, Cu as an activator, and NaCl as a flux for co-activator and enhancement of growth of the phosphor particles. The phosphor layer was made by printing the paste of the cyanoethylpullan as a binder and the ZnS system phosphor powder. In order to evaluate the luminescence characteristics of ZnS P-ELD, applied voltage - luminance(V-L), frequency-luminance(f-L), and relative luminance spectra(L- .lambda.) characteristics were measured. The experimental results show that luminance increased with increasing the applied voltage and frequency. It can be explained in terms of the potential barrier formed between ZnS and CuS. Two emission peaks in luminance-wavelength spectra measured at applied voltage of 100 $V_{rms}$ were observed at 500nm as a primary peak and 460nm as a secondary peak, respectively.y.
