A METHOD OF IMPROVING THE MEMORY EFFECT AND BRIGHTNESS OF AN ALTERNATING CURRENT EXCITED THIN FILM ELECTROLUMINSCENT DEVICE Abstract of the Disclosure A method for improving the memory effect and brightness of an alternating current (AC) excited thin film electroluminensence (ACTEL) device is described. A typical ACTEL device has a thin lumin- escent layer made of ZnS thin film doped with Mn which is sandwiched between two dielectric layers. ACTEL devices exhibit a brightness versus voltage amplitude hysteresis loop which is commonly referred to as the memory effect. The application of a hybrid AC excitation waveform to the ACTEL device provides increased brightness and improved memory effect sta- bility. The hybrid waveform has an initial portion that is sufficiently high for efficient carrier generation and a remaining waveform portion that is at a lower level than the initial portion for charge collection and holding purposes.
