Abstract
A moisture-resistant electroluminescent phosphor is provided wherein the individual phosphor particles have a first coating of an inorganic moisture-resistant coating and a second coating of an organic moisture-resistant coating. The process for making the moisture-resistant phosphor comprises applying a first layer of an inorganic moisture-resistant coating to individual particles of an electroluminescent phosphor to form a first-coated phosphor, substantially isolating said first-coated phosphor from contact with atmospheric oxygen and moisture, and applying a second layer of an organic moisture-resistant coating to the first-coated phosphor to form a second-coated phosphor.
