The effects of electrode resistance in electroluminescent cells

Abstract
The effects of electrode resistance on the voltage drop, the power dissipation, and the equivalent circuit constants of electroluminescent cells have been calculated by means of linear transmission line theory. In practice, electroluminescent cells have nonlinear characteristics which make the actual problem very difficult to solve. It is believed, however, that the present considerations serve to give a qualitative picture of the effects of electrode resistance in actual cells.
