Abstract
We studied the luminance saturation behavior of five types phosphors for plasna display panel(PDP)under excitation by an ArF laser(wavelength: 193 nm, pulse width:25 ns, and frequency : 10 Hz). The relationships between luminance intensity and excitation energy density show that all the phosphors exhibit luminance saturation above an excitation energy density level of 0.2 mJ/cm^2 pulse.
