Abstract
La.sub.2 O.sub.2 S particles are employed as a carrier host in conjunction with terbium activator ions in a cathodo-luminescent penetration phosphor composition for cathode ray display tubes. A thin layer of La.sub.2 O.sub.2 SO.sub.4 :Tb or La.sub.2 O.sub.2 SO.sub.4 :Tb,Eu is utilized to provide a barrier which must be penetrated by excitation electrons to produce green spectral emission from the particle thereby increasing the voltage-turn-on characteristic of the phosphor. Additionally, methods are disclosed for synthesizing the same in addition to an improved method for synthesizing a penetration phosphor particle comprising a core of La.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Tb and a barrier layer of La.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Tb,Eu.
