— Thin ZnS:Mn and SrS:Ce electroluminescent films are grown by solid‐source metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The method is attractive because it uses relatively non‐toxic materials and does not require flammable hydrogen or toxic H 2 S. Performance results are presented for both blue‐ and white‐emitting phosphors. Even though the method has not yet been optimized, luminous efficacy of 3 lm/W at low drive voltages has been attained for ZnS: Mn.
