The photoluminescence and electroluminescence of loose ZnS:Cu crystals scattered on an interdigitated electrode substrate have been studied under 366nm UV light excitation and or under an applied AC field. From the response of the ZnS:Cu crystals to the AC field and their movement in the field it is shown that a greater understanding of the factors affecting ACEL panel performance can be gained. The findings light the way to the fabrication of very bright panels and a suggestion can be made to the expected luminescence of optimised ACEL lamps
