2. Description of the Related Art A color fluorescent lamp is a fluorescent lamp coated with a single-color fluorescent material, and can produce faint image color light. Therefore, it is used for signboard lighting, illumination lighting, window lighting, atmosphere lighting utilizing colors, and the like. I have. Conventionally, for pink fluorescent color fluorescent lamps, pink luminescent lead,
A manganese-activated calcium silicate phosphor or a mixed phosphor composed of a mixture of a tin-activated strontium magnesium phosphate phosphor emitting orange light and a manganese-activated magnesium fluorinated magnesium germanate phosphor emitting deep red light was used. . However, in the case of the lead and manganese-activated calcium silicate phosphor, there is a problem that the emission color is whitish pink, the color purity is low, and the luminous flux maintenance factor of the lamp is low. In the case of a mixed phosphor of a tin-activated strontium magnesium phosphate phosphor and a manganese-activated magnesium fluorogermanate phosphor, a mixing ratio of an expensive manganese-activated magnesium fluorogermanate phosphor is required to increase color purity. However, there is a problem that the cost is increased due to the necessity of increasing the number of lights, and the luminous flux of the lamp is also reduced.

When a fluorescent lamp is manufactured by mixing europium-activated yttrium oxide red light-emitting phosphor with calcium pyrophosphate as an ultraviolet reflecting material by using these techniques, the emission color of the lamp is drawn toward the pink color. It can be used for a color fluorescent lamp emitting pink light. This change in color tone shows that the intensity of blue-violet emission in the visible range due to mercury vapor discharge is almost unchanged, but the mixing of calcium pyrophosphate reduces the red emission intensity, resulting in a pink emission color as a whole. by.

However, when the above-mentioned color fluorescent lamp emitting pink light is manufactured, a problem of a color difference at a tube end newly arises. This is because, even during the manufacturing process of the fluorescent lamp, even when a coating suspension that is completely uniformly mixed is used in the step of applying the luminescent composition to the glass tube, the glass tube is dried and the phosphor layer is formed. This is because the component ratio between the phosphor in the phosphor layer and the calcium pyrophosphate is shifted between the upper portion and the lower portion. Since the occurrence of the color difference between the emission colors at both ends of the fluorescent lamp is a problem in the color fluorescent lamp, improvement is required.

[0008] The concentration k of Eu in the phosphor is adjusted within a range from 0.021 mol to 0.066 mol per 1 mol of the phosphor. If the amount is less than 0.021 mol, the light absorption becomes poor, and as a result, the emission intensity of the phosphor decreases,
The lamp luminous flux also decreases. If it exceeds 0.066 mol, concentration quenching occurs, and the luminous intensity of the phosphor and the lamp luminous flux decrease. The average particle size of the phosphor is preferably in the range of 2 to 6 μm. If it is less than 2 μm, the emission intensity of the phosphor is low, and the lamp luminous flux is reduced. In addition, the dispersibility of the phosphor particles is poor, and the coating characteristics are deteriorated. Conversely, if it exceeds 6 μm, the coating weight of a normal color fluorescent lamp (2 to 4 mg)
/ Cm 2 ), the lamp luminous flux decreases, and in order to increase the lamp luminous flux, it is necessary to increase the coating weight, which is strict in cost. Here, the average particle diameter is a value obtained by measuring the specific surface area by an air permeation method and calculating the average value of the particle diameters of the primary particles, and is a value measured using a Fisher sub-sieve sizer (FSSS).

The light-emitting composition can be applied to the wall surface of the light-transmitting glass using a usual method of applying a phosphor. For example, for the purpose of preventing the phosphor layer from falling off, fine particles of alumina, calcium barium borate, etc. Can also be used. The application amount of the light emitting composition is also about the same amount as when the phosphor alone is applied.

The results of producing a 40SS fluorescent lamp and measuring the lamp luminous flux are shown. Here, the coating weight of the light emitting composition is fixed at 3.5 g. When the content of the europium-activated yttrium oxide red light-emitting phosphor in the light-emitting composition is less than 10% by weight, the cost reduction merit is great, but the lamp luminous flux is greatly reduced. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50% by weight, the lamp light flux is high, but the merit of cost reduction is small.

It shows a pink color with good color purity in the range of 0.31 ≦ y ≦ 0.34, but if it is less than 10% by weight, both x and y values become small, and the emission color becomes bluish. Conversely, if it exceeds 50% by weight, both the x and y values become large, the emission color becomes more reddish, and the color purity as pink becomes worse.

As described above, when the mixing ratio of the europium-activated yttrium oxide red light-emitting phosphor in the light-emitting composition is changed, the emission color of the color fluorescent lamp changes because visible light passing through the phosphor layer of the lamp is changed. Although the intensity of the Hg line is not substantially changed, when the blending ratio of the phosphor is reduced, the red light emission intensity decreases, and the emission color shifts in the blue direction as a whole. This is because when the compounding ratio of is increased, the red emission intensity increases, and the emission color shifts in the red direction as a whole.

The results obtained by producing FL40SS fluorescent lamps with various / b values and measuring the color difference at the tube end are shown. Here, the coating weight of the light emitting composition is fixed at 3.5 g. The color difference at the end of the tube is obtained by calculating the color difference between the emission color (x 1 , y 1 ) above the lamp and the emission color (x 2 , y 2 ) below the lamp as {(x 1 −x 2 ) 2 +

80 g of 0 μm calcium pyrophosphate powder was dry-mixed to obtain a luminescent composition of the present invention. A coating solution was prepared by suspending the luminescent composition in a nitrocellulose / butyl acetate binder, and a fluorescent lamp (FL40SS) was prepared by a usual method.
3.5 g of the luminescent composition was applied to a glass tube for use, and a color fluorescent lamp was produced according to a conventional method. The component ratio of the fluorescent layer obtained in this manner substantially matches the charging ratio of the light emitting composition in the coating solution. When the obtained color fluorescent lamp was measured using an integrating sphere and a spectrophotometer, the lamp chromaticity was x
