Abstract
The statistical distribution of phosphor crystals in the solid dielectric material of a practical electroluminescent lamp influences the observed characteristics of the lamp. Calculation on the basis of a very simple model shows that maximum efficiency is favored by high phosphor concentration, fine particles, and thick phosphor layers; the slope and intercept of the usual brightness voltage plots are affected by the same variables. Measurements on electroluminescent lamps with these variations are in substantial agreement with the predictions.
