3 New business

3.1 Glossary of terms for display technology (see attached list submitted by Bill Rowe for our committee to consider.
To be discussed jointly in JT-6.

3.2 Flat panel (FP) use of phosphors
The Committee expressed interest in plasma and field emission displays, and in the characterization of phosphors used in these devices. Messrs. Christopher Summers and Brent K. Wagner of GATech said that phosphors are characterized by pulse width, low current dc measurements, screen type in terms of efficiency, efficiency is measured in a dc-mode. Factors as time, power, temperature, etc., on exposure to phosphors are different for flat panel activation compared to conventional CRTs. Aging and saturation effects are also seen for FPs. Efficiency vs voltage, CIE coordinates, persistence at low current densities, phosphor output per particle size, saturation as a function of voltage. With increase in voltage, less saturation is seen because of spreading. Phosphor maintenance is also measured. Mr. Summers felt that there is a need for standardized testing of FP displays. Particle size is determined by laser scattering. Measurement of the photoluminescence of the phosphors would be a good starting point for standardization. Discussion on various aids in making reliable standard measurements.

4 Selection of next meetings
Tuesday, 12 Sept. 2000 was preferred by the Committee for the next meeting in Corning.

5 Adjournment
The Committee moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed to adjourn at 0920 to join discussion on terms and definitions.
