Abstract :
A technique for enhancing the performance of thin film electroluminescent devices is presented. Thin film phosphors have been processed with 20 ns pulses of 880 mJ/cm2 laser irradiation from a 249 nm KrF excimer laser. Electroluminescent characterisation demonstrates a four-fold improvement in emitted luminous intensity, as compared to thermally annealed structures
