[edit] A Small Correction
A phosphor by definition does not under go fluorescent emission. A Fluorescent compounds is known as a fluorophore.
[edit] ZnS:Ag
I would like to point out that ZnS:Ag is not green as suggested in the article, but a lovely bright blue. I would also like to add, in response to the correction that phosphors do not fluorece, that is not true. Long afterglow phosphors do indeed phosphoresce, but those which do not exhibit afterglow and stop emitting immediately the radiation is turned off are fluorescing.
[edit] CTR Phosphor
Would an electron/beta ray phosphor be by definition a CTR phosphor, since electrons hit the phosphor in a CTR tube? Polonium 22:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
