We report simple new techniques to express analysis of display materials. Colour Cathodoluminescence combined with scanning electron microscopy and spectroscopy is a powerful, non-destructive, high-resolution method for investigation luminescent materials. Some applications of this method to powder phosphors used in display are demonstrated.

In this study we have investigated cathodoluminescence (CL) and structural properties of thin film $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ oxide phosphor by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL), and cathodoluminescence. PL emission peaked at 506 nm was observed from the $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ phosphor target and it was attributed to the $^4T_1-^6A_1$ transition in $Mn^{2+}$ ion. The color coordinates of the emission were x = 0.09 and y = 0.67. The $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ films showed the excitation spectrum peaked at 294 nm by $Mn^{2+}$ ion absorption. It was found that the higher intensity of CL emission at 505 nm appears to result from the denser and closely-packed structure in $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ phosphor films deposited at lower pressures. The CL intensity did not show any systematic dependence on film surface roughness.

Polycrystalline diamond films are deposited by cyclic method. modulating the $H_2$ Plasma and $CH_4+H_2$ plasma during the growth step. Diamond quality is evaluated by FWHM and $I_D/I_G$ ratio obtained from Raman spectroscopic analysis. Structural defects and impurities generated during the growth step are characterized by cathodoluminescence, and the variations between band-A(430 nm) line and nitrogen-related(578 nm) line are investigated as a function of $T_E/T_G$. Furthermore, the correlations between preferential orientation. film morphologies and CL characteristics are also investigated.

ZnO powder as phosphor was prepared by precipitation method with zinc acetate and ammonia solution and the size and shapes of precipitates were examined with variation of pH and concentration of solution. Its cathodoluminesence properties was evaluated with various heat tratment condition. Optimum con-dition for uniform precipitates was 11.8 of pH and 0.4M of concentration. ZnO:Zn phosphor was obtained by heat treatment of precipitates in reduction atmosphere using ZnS powder. With addition of 20wt% ZnS and 1 hour firing at 1000$^{\circ}C$ the highest cathodoluminescence was obtained.

The phosphor $CaTiO_3:Pr^{3+}$ attracts much attention as a low-voltage red phosphor because of its good chromaticity and intrinsic conductivity. The addition of Ga into this CaTiO₃:Pr led the luminance intensity to greatly enhance without the change of the wavelength for the electronic transition and the peak shape of it. The increase of the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs through the Ga ion doping, which was expected to play a role of a hole-trap center, is proposed to be one of the reasons for the enhancement of the cathodoluminescence intensity.

Square lattice nano-hole arrays with diameters and periodicities of 200 and 500 nm, respectively, are fabricated on InGaN/GaN blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) using electron-beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching processes. Cathodoluminescence (CL) investigations show that light emission intensity from the LEDs with the nano-hole arrays is enhanced compared to that from the planar sample. The CL intensity enhancement factor decreases when the nano-holes penetrate into the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) due to the plasma-induced damage and the residues. Wet chemical treatment using KOH solution is found to be an effective method for light extraction from the nano-patterned LEDs, especially, when the nano-holes penetrate into the MQWs. About 4-fold CL intensity enhancement factor is achieved by the KOH treatments after the dry etching for the sample with a 250-nm deep nano-hole array.

The utilization of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) in conjunction with cathodoluminescence (CL) has emerged as a valuable tool for the investigation of material optical properties. In recent years, this technique has facilitated significant advancements in the fields of plasmonics and quantum emitters by surpassing prior technical restrictions. The review commences by providing an outline of the diverse STEM-CL operating modes and technical aspects of the instrumentation. The review explains the fundamental physics of light production under electron beam irradiation and the physical basis for interpreting STEM-CL experiments for different types of excitations. Additionally, the review compares STEM-CL to other related techniques such as scanning electron microscope CL, photoluminescence, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy.

The photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence of $SrGa_2S_4:EU$ phosphor were optimized with the process and chemical variables (activators, fluxes and reaction temperature) used in solid state reaction. Firing the powder with flux at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2hr gave the highest photoluminescence efficiency under near-UV excitation and the highest cathodoluminescence efficiency of 20.1 lm/W at 2 kV and 33.3 lm/W at 10 kV. The suitability of $SrGa_2S_4:EU$ for application as a phosphor in LCDs and FEDs is discussed.
