Loading substrate for deposition of thin-film phosphor materials
A researcher loads substrate for deposition of thin-film phosphor materials into an ion-assisted deposition system. Phosphor technology is used in high-definition television, medical instrument monitors and virtual environment displays. Because they glow without any increase in temperature, phosphors are an important and highly researched area for many emerging, flat panel display technologies.
This research was perfored at the Georgia Institute of Technology. (Year of image: 2000)
