Abstract
Abstract A mixture of yellowish green-to-yellow emitting, gold- and aluminum-activated zinc sulfide and blue-emitting silveractivated zinc sulfide, in which the weight ratio of the latter to the former is within a range of 0.7 to 1.30, is valuable as a white-emitting phosphor for black and white television. When at least one red-emitting phosphor selected from europium-activated yttrium oxysulfide, europium-activated yttrium oxide and europium-activated yttrium vanadate is incorporated into the above white-emitting phosphor, the resulting composite can cover a more wide white region for black and white television.
