Emission Characteristics of GaN-Based EL Device with AC Operation

Abstract

ABSTRACTGaN-based electroluminescence devices (ELDs) were fabricated using a GaN powder as an emission layer. The electroluminescence spectra of the GaN ELDs under AC operation were observed at room temperature. The emission characteristics of GaN-based ELDs were studied to compare the EL spectra and the cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra. It was clarified that the EL spectra were similar to the CL spectra of a GaN emission layer. The emission peaks in the EL spectra were shifted toward the high-energy side with increasing operation frequency.
