Background
In the historical long river of human civilization, human beings have struggled with the diffuse night, and after the light sources of fire, incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, the human beings in the 20 th century discovered the phenomenon of "electroluminescence", and thus invented a fourth generation lighting source, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Compared with fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps, the white light LED has the advantages of stable performance, long service life, small heat productivity, high luminous efficiency, high response speed, small volume, planar packaging, no pollution of toxic substances such as mercury and the like. Therefore, white LEDs are recognized as one of the most promising high-tech fields in the 21 st century as a future generation of illumination light source.
At present, the most important way to realize white light LEDs is the fluorescence conversion technology, i.e. coating a phosphor material on an LED chip, and under the excitation of short waves (blue light, ultraviolet light) emitted by the LED, the phosphor emits visible light, and the white light is formed by mixing three primary colors (red, green, blue). However, the phosphor powder in the phosphor-converted WLED developed by the prior art generally has the problems of low color rendering index, high color temperature, low luminous efficiency and the like. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel phosphor having high luminous efficiency, low color temperature, high color purity, good stability and excellent performance.
