Space charge has significant influence on the operation of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent displays. This letter introduces a relatively simple method for direct observation of the distribution of traps responsible for the space charge in the active layer of the devices. Contribution of native and dopant defects in the space charge formation is discussed.
