A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor solid state light emitting device in which a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor are joined. LEDs have advantages such as long life, excellent impact resistance, low power consumption, high reliability, and can be reduced in size, thickness, and weight, so they are used as light sources for various devices. Yes. In particular, white LEDs are used for disaster prevention lighting that requires reliability, in-vehicle lighting and liquid crystal backlights that are favored for miniaturization and weight reduction, destination information guides for stations that require visibility, etc. Application to indoor lighting in general households is also expected.
When a current is passed in the forward direction of a pn junction made of a direct transition type semiconductor, electrons and holes are recombined, and light having a peak wavelength corresponding to the forbidden band width of the semiconductor is emitted. Since the emission spectrum of an LED generally has a narrow peak wavelength half-width, the emission color of a white LED is obtained exclusively by the principle of color mixing.

The method of obtaining a predetermined emission color using a plurality of LEDs requires a special circuit for adjusting the current of each LED in order to balance each color. On the other hand, the method of obtaining a predetermined emission color by combining the LED and the phosphor does not require such a circuit and has an advantage that the cost of the LED can be reduced. Therefore, various proposals have conventionally been made for this type of phosphor using an LED as a light source.
For example, there is disclosed a YAG phosphor in which Ce is doped in a YAG-based oxide base crystal represented by a composition formula of (Y, Gd) 3 (Al, Ga) 5 O 12 (see Non-Patent Document 1). . In this document, the surface of an InGaN blue LED chip is thinly coated with a YAG phosphor, whereby blue light emitted from the blue LED and a peak wavelength 550 nm emitted from the YAG phosphor excited by the blue light are disclosed. It is described that white light can be obtained by mixing with the fluorescence.

Existing phosphors generally have the disadvantage that the spectral intensity is significantly reduced when the excitation wavelength exceeds the near ultraviolet region.
In addition, a white LED obtained by coating a phosphor surface made of a YAG-based oxide on the surface of an InGaN-based blue LED chip has an excitation energy of a YAG-based oxide that is a phosphor and an excitation energy of a blue LED as a light source. Since the excitation energy is not converted efficiently, it has been considered difficult to produce a high-intensity white LED.
Furthermore, when a light emitting element such as a nitride compound semiconductor capable of emitting ultraviolet light and a phosphor that emits light when excited by ultraviolet light are combined to form a white LED, the luminous efficiency of the red component phosphor is higher than that of other phosphors. However, since the mixing ratio is too high, it has been considered difficult to obtain a high brightness white color.
The present invention relates to an oxynitride phosphor capable of increasing the brightness of a white light emitting diode (white LED) using a blue light emitting diode (blue LED) or an ultraviolet light emitting diode (ultraviolet LED) as a light source, and light emission using the same. An object is to provide an apparatus.
