Definitions
- the present invention relates to a display such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), a field emission display (FED), and a plasma display (PDP), a lighting device such as a fluorescent lamp and a fluorescent display tube, and a light emitting device such as a liquid crystal backlight.
- a display such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), a field emission display (FED), and a plasma display (PDP)
- a lighting device such as a fluorescent lamp and a fluorescent display tube
- a light emitting device such as a liquid crystal backlight.
- the white LED lighting method that produces white light by combining this high-brightness LED with a phosphor is called the one-chip type, and uses three primary colors: a high-brightness red LED, green LED, and blue LED. Compared to the multi-chip type method that produces white by using it, it has superior color rendering properties and can be manufactured at a low cost.
- One-chip type white LED lighting includes a combination of a high-intensity blue LED and a phosphor that emits yellow light when excited by blue light generated from the LED.
- a high-intensity blue LED using InGaN-based materials and garnet-based yellow phosphors (Y, Gd) (Al, Ga) O: Ce (YAG: Ce), Tb AlO: Ce, Ca ScSiO: Ce Pair with
- This white LED lighting makes use of the fact that the blue and yellow colors of light are complementary.
- this white LED illumination was high in luminance, there was a problem that the color rendering property, which is important for illumination, was poor because light emission on the long wavelength side in the visible light region, that is, light emission of the red component was insufficient.
- the phosphor has an emission peak wavelength in the yellow to red range, and a broad peak in the emission spectrum.
- nitrogen has a good excitation band in the near ultraviolet / ultraviolet to blue range. Phosphors containing are successively developed, and the color rendering properties are improved by adding this phosphor.
- the phosphor containing nitrogen includes, for example, Ca Si N: Eu, Sr Si N: Eu, Ba Si N: Eu, (Ca, Sr, B
- Typical examples include iN: Eu, CaAlSiN: Eu, and the like.
- white LED lighting that combines a high-intensity blue LED and a garnet yellow phosphor has a flat excitation band near the excitation wavelength of 460 nm!
- the emission intensity and peak wavelength of blue LEDs There are variations in the emission intensity and peak wavelength of blue LEDs, and when a phosphor is applied on top of the LED, the emission intensity of the transmitted blue light changes depending on the film thickness. There is a problem that the balance of light emission intensity is lost and the color tone of white light changes.
- the phosphor used in the application is a red phosphor, for example, Y
- ZnS Cu, Al, CaGaS: Eu, such as GaO: Eu, etc.
- Patent Document 2 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-96446

Place the mixed raw material in the BN crucible, place it in the furnace without the lid on the BN crucible, pull the vacuum inside the furnace and replace it with nitrogen, and then in the flowing nitrogen atmosphere (flow state, 20. OL / min), the temperature was increased to 15 ° C / min up to 1600 ° C at a furnace pressure of 0.05 MPa, held at 1600 ° C for 3 hours and fired. Thereafter, the mixture was cooled from 1600 ° C to 50 ° C in 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the fired sample was taken out once and pulverized and mixed in a mortar. After that, put it in the BN crucible again and place it in the furnace without the lid on the BN crucible.

- Example 1 As can be seen from Table 2, the phosphor of Example 1 was 32% higher in emission intensity than the phosphor of the comparative example. The reason was considered as follows.
- the ratio of Si atoms does not change so much at any depth position from the particle surface to 2000 nm, and the depth from the particle surface is 5 Onm. The rate of change is within 6% of the percentage of Si atoms at.
- the proportion of Si atoms increases as the position from the particle surface becomes deeper, and at a depth of 150 nm, it is 5% from the proportion of Si atoms at a depth of 50 nm. In addition, after the depth of 350 nm, it increased by about 10 to 15%.
- the phosphor of Example 1 has a change rate of 20% although the proportion of oxygen atoms fluctuates at a depth of 2000 nm from the particle surface. About%.
- the phosphor of Comparative Example 1 has a 50% reduction in the proportion of oxygen atoms at a depth of 150 nm from the particle surface, and the deeper portion In the position at, it has been reduced by 40-60%. From this result, it can be seen that in the phosphor of Comparative Example 1, the distribution of oxygen atoms inside the particle is greatly changed, and the change is particularly large near the particle surface.
