Abstract
Abstract A cubic ZnS:Cu,Al phosphor and a cubic ZnS:Au,Al phosphor is mixed to provide a green emitting phosphor coposition. This composition emits green light having a color which is represented by a color point in the CIE standard chromaticity diagram having x-value and y-value within the ranges of 0.300<x<0.360 and 0.575<y<0.635, respectively, when excited by an electron beam. A color television cathode ray tube uses the fluorescent composition as a green emitting phosphor component, and a ZnS:Ag phosphor or a ZnS:Ag,Al phosphor as a blue emitting phosphor component, and a Y2O2S:Eu phosphor, a Y2O3:Eu phosphor or a YVO4:Eu phosphor as a red emitting phosphor component.
