Abstract

1,273,801. Electroluminescence. XEROX CORP. 24 March, 1969 [25 March, 1968; 6 May, 1968], No. 15291/69. Heading C4S. A radiant energy amplifier comprises at least one pair of energizing electrodes, electroluminescent phosphor 17 (e.g. 1 mm. thick) in contact with at least one electrode 16 of the or each pair, a field effect semi-conductor 14 either in contact with the other electrode pair or separated from same only by the phosphor (Fig. 3, not shown), photoconductive layer 13 in contact with the f.e.s.c. surface about which surface charges are trapped and control the charge flow, and means to apply charge to the photoconductive layer, such as electrode 12 or a corona discharge source. Layer 17 may be D.C. phosphor of CuCl and Mn activated ZnS or A.C. phosphor of CuCl activated ZnS as in Fig. 3 while layer 14 may be P- or N-type and of Si, Ge, CdS, CdSe, or ZnO. Layer 12 may be an oxide of copper or tin, copper iodide or gold, while layer 13 may be homogeneous or p.c. particles in a binder and with dopants and may include sulfur, anthracene, selenium, arsenic-sulfide, antimony, trisulfide, cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide or sulfoselenide, lead oxide, lead sulfide, polyvinylcarbazole, phthalocyanine quinacridones, and zinc sulfide and be of 1 to 100 Á e.g. 25 to 50 thickness. Conductors 16 may be 10 mms. wide at 20 mms. interval. Positive or negative images with selective erasure may be attained with X-ray, visible, U.V. or infra-red inputs and a uniform flooding stage may be included. The f.e.s.c. such as N type ZnO may also be photoconductive and sensitive to violet light but insensitive to yellow light while an organic p.c. layer responses are the opposite. Yellow light flooding on the negative p.c. effects uniform darkening, a violet input effects a positive image and selective erasure may be achieved by yellow illumination in the required areas on negative potential electrode 12. Variations are described and graded light intensity images are possible. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,201,374.
