Title: Fluorescent and cathodoluminescent phosphors structurally related to sodalite

Abstract

Blue, quantum-confined phosphors are disclosed for field-emission displays made by reducing metal (M) sulfoaluminates at high temperature. This yields phases of the type M{sub 4}(AlO{sub 2}){sub 6}S. Bulk sulfide contaminant mixed with the reduced sulfoaluminate phase is removed by treating it with a chelating agent in nonaqueous solution. A photometric cathodoluminescence efficiency of 9 lumen/watt at 1,000 V for Sr{sub 3}PbS(AlO{sub 2}){sub 6} is observed. Undoped Sr{sub 4}S(AlO){sub 6} displays 5 lumen/watt at 1,000 V, with excellent blue chromatic saturation. 2 figs.
