THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on the SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY of DISPLAY PHOSPHORS

November 14-16, 1995
San Diego, California SPONSORED BY
Phosphor Technology Center of Excellence
Advanced Research Projects Agency
Society for Information Display

Purpose The purpose of this conference is to discuss the present and future prospects of phosphors for electroluminescent (EL), field- emission, cathoderay tube (CRT), and plasma displays; photoluminescent (PL) devices; and liquid-crystal backlights. The development of phosphors for advanced display systems is a multidisciplinary field requiring input from system designers, materials scientists, chemists, and physicists. The goal of this meeting is to bring these disciplines together to present and discuss the latest results and directions, and to define the issues and challenges in future phosphor research and development.

Areas of Interest

The areas of interest will cover new aspects of phosphor growth and synthesis: the characterization of phosphor structural, electrical, photoconductive, and optical (luminescent) properties; process and surface modifications; new materials; and device structures. Also included are the physical mechanisms of saturation, relaxation, and degradation; theoretical modeling of material; and device parameters affecting EL,FED, and plasma display performance. Particular emphasis will be placed on new developments for low-voltage materials for EL and FED device applications and new phosphors for plasma displays. Other new applications for phosphors are also encouraged.

Conference Format

The conference will be designed to provide as much interaction and discussion among the participants as possible. The program will include a plenary session along with technical sessions comprised of invited and contributed papers for oral presentation. To promote discussion time, the program will be limited to approximately 50 papers to be presented in a single- session format. Authors of accepted papers will be required to submit a full-length manuscript for peer review for publication in a special issue of the Journal of the SID. Wine and cheese poster sessions are scheduled for the first two evenings of the conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers describing significant advances in the state of the art of the conference topics listed above are solicited. Experimental or theoretical results are strongly encouraged. Oral presentations will conform to a 20-minute format (15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions and answers). Poster sessions are planned for the first two evenings of the conference. Accepted papers will be assigned to either oral or poster sessions at the discretion of the program committee. Papers will be selected on the basis of (1) originality, (2) significance of results, (3) quality and completeness of the research, and (4) breadth of interest. The submitted extended abstracts of all accepted papers will be published in the Book of Extended Abstracts. Full-length manuscripts, subject to critical review, will be published in a special issue of the Journal of the SID devoted to papers presented at the Conference.

ABSTRACTS/PAPERS

  1. Abstracts, suitable for publication, should clearly indicate the following:
    1. original aspects of research
    2. objective and approach of work
    3. previous publications or presentations
    4. experimental data
    5. scientific implications of results
  2. Two-page abstracts should be double-spaced on 8 1/2 x 11" paper. One (1) additional page of supporting figures will be accepted and is encouraged. The title, author(s), and affiliation(s) should be included on the first page of the three-page extended abstract.
  3. A complete mailing address (including telephone, fax and e- mail) of the presenter should appear on the back of the first page of the abstract.
  4. Abstracts are to be submitted before June 26, 1995 to: Palisades Institute for Research Services, Inc. 1995 Display Phosphors Conference Attn: Jay Morreale 201 Varick Street, Suite 1006 New York, NY 10014
