Laurent,
The question was aimed at Calvin but sent to the group so here is
my explaination:
1/ Longevity.
The green EL material lasts much longer than the other colors.
2/ Cost.
Green is cheaper.
3/ Luminosity.
The eye is most sensitive to green. For a given input power, green
appears brighter.
There are others but these are the main ones.
Regards,
PCBman
