The authors have actualized white-electroluminescent devices with nanocrystalline red phosphors and Ba2TiSi2O8 ceramics sheet. Nanocrystalline Y2O3:Eu3+ and CaTiO3:Pr were used as red phosphor layers. These phosphors were synthesized by an ion crosslinked method using carboxymethyl cellose and high concentration sol-gel method, respectively. And Ba2TiSi2O8 ceramics sheet which shows blue-green emission were prepared by sintering of BaTiO3 thick film on SiO2 substrate. Electroluminescent properties of the device which had a structure of ITO glass/red phosphor layer/Ba2TiSi2O8 sheet/Ag electrode were investigated under high ac field of 1 kHz. The device emitted white emission corresponding to a color coordinate near ideal white.
