Abstract
Abstract A ceramic luminescent device, in which a luminescent screen of zinc sulfide layer with luminescent impurities is formed on a translucent zinc oxide sintered body, and the luminescent light emitted from said luminescent screen is derived through said zinc oxide body. The device can be constructed in a manner that said luminescent screen is excited either by an electric field or electron beam.
