Phosphor and method of making same

摘要

Electroluminescent phosphors having substantially increased luminance and maintenance over that of prior art electroluminescent phosphors may be made by (1) doping an inorganic intercalation compound having an atomic structure interspersed with vacant spaces, with selected activator ions capable of luminescent emission, and (2) introducing organic monomers or other conductive material into the vacant spaces of the atomic structure of the doped inorganic intercalation compound. The organic monomers may be polymerized in situ to form conductive polymers therein.
