Abstract
An electroluminescent film of an activated alkaline earth metal sulfide phosphor is produced by a method utilizing low temperatures for substrate protection and achieving excellent crystallinity and enhanced brightness. A layer of an alkaline earth metal halide and a suitable activatior is deposited on the substrate, heated to melt the halide and treated with gaseous hydrogen sulfide to form the phosphor. A precursor for the halide may be deposited on the substrate heated to melting temperature and treated with gaseous hydrogen halide to form the halide in-situ.
