Description
本發明係有關於一種螢光粉及暖白光二極體,具體而言,尤指一種可創造高發光效能之螢光粉及其暖白光二極體。The invention relates to a fluorescent powder and a warm white light diode, in particular to a fluorescent powder capable of creating high luminous efficiency and a warm white light diode thereof.
發光二極體於1965年問世,當時,工程師們研製了以GaAs(砷化鎵)為基質的第一個發光二極體裝置。這是一個光通量F≦0.01流明,在紅色區域發光的小功率發光二極體。70~80年代,發光二極體的發展非常緩慢,到90年代初,較好的綠光發光二極體的光通量也不超過0.1~0.3流明。Light-emitting diodes were introduced in 1965 when engineers developed the first light-emitting diode device based on GaAs (gallium arsenide). This is a low-power light-emitting diode with a luminous flux of F≦0.01 lumens that illuminates in the red region. In the 70s and 80s, the development of light-emitting diodes was very slow. By the early 1990s, the luminous flux of better green light-emitting diodes did not exceed 0.1-0.3 lumens.
自1968年起,在發光二極體技術中開始廣泛應用螢光粉及以螢光粉為基礎的光譜轉換結構。最初出現的是提高發光頻率的轉換裝置,通過反斯托克斯螢光粉的作用將GaAsP二極體的近紅外發光轉變為紅色或綠色光(請參照Berg,Din A.,LED,(Mir),1975)。之後,眾多研究工作者嘗試將GaN(氮化鎵)二極體的近紫外發光轉變為可見光。Since 1968, fluorescent powders and phosphor-based spectral conversion structures have been widely used in light-emitting diode technology. Initially appeared is a conversion device that increases the illuminating frequency, converting the near-infrared luminescence of GaAsP diodes into red or green light by the action of anti-Stokes phosphors (please refer to Berg, Din A., LED, (Mir) ), 1975). Later, many researchers tried to convert the near-ultraviolet luminescence of GaN (gallium nitride) diodes into visible light.
但是在日本中村修一教授的發明之後,發光二極體的發展就非常迅速了。中村修一教授在90年代提出了新架構的氮化物半導體,以氮化銦和氮化鎵為基質。這個半導體的獨特之處在於,其中含有大量奈米尺寸的“量子阱”,這些量子阱是在氮化物的合成過程中加入氧為激活元素而合成的。中村修一在其1997年的一篇專題論文“Blue laser”(請參照S. Nakamura. Blue laser,Springer Verlag,Berlin. 1997)中對此有綜合性的概述。However, after the invention of Professor Nakamura of Japan, the development of the light-emitting diode was very rapid. In the 1990s, Professor Nakamura proposed a new structure of nitride semiconductors based on indium nitride and gallium nitride. This semiconductor is unique in that it contains a large number of nano-sized "quantum wells" that are synthesized by adding oxygen as an active element during the synthesis of the nitride. Nakamura Shuichi has a comprehensive overview of this in his 1997 monograph "Blue laser" (see S. Nakamura. Blue laser, Springer Verlag, Berlin. 1997).
日本Nichia公司的專家(S.Nakamura及S.Shimizu)在此研究方向上取得了突破性的進展,他們研發出了由發藍光的GaInN(氮化銦鎵)異質結(Junction,即接面)與覆蓋在其表面的黃色釔鋁石榴石螢光粉(Y3 Al5 O12 )構成的新型光源(請參照S.Nakamura於11,05,2006獲准之德國DE6933829T專利,及S.Shimizu Y.,於11,01,2005獲准之中華民國TW156177B專利)。Experts from Japan's Nichia (S. Nakamura and S. Shimizu) have made breakthroughs in this research direction. They have developed a blue-emitting GaInN (indium gallium nitride) heterojunction (Junction). A new light source consisting of yellow yttrium aluminum garnet phosphor powder (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) covering its surface (please refer to the German DE6933829T patent approved by S. Nakamura on 11, 05, 2006, and S. Shimizu Y. 11,01,2005 approved the Republic of China TW156177B patent).
這兩項發明成果的應用實現了用於照明,燈飾及指示用途的白光發光二極體。在該TW156177B專利中對這種釔鋁石榴石螢光粉在發光二極體中的應用作了詳細描述。但本案之申請人認為此項發明並不具有絕對的創新意義。本案將其作為原型,以下是其專利案中列出的創新之處:1.用發藍光的GaInN異質結作發光二極體的結構基礎;2.在發光二極體中採用了具有增效轉光作用的螢光粉顆粒;3.通過將兩個部分的發光,即GaInN半導體異質結直接發光與螢光粉顆粒被其激發發光相混合,最終獲得白光;以及4.採用化學式為Y3 Al5 O12 :Ce的鋁釔石榴石及其衍生物(如(Y,Gd)3 (Al,Ga,Sc)5 O12 :Ce)顆粒構成的螢光粉。關於發藍光的GaInN半導體異質結著有大量文獻,但S.Nakamura and G.Fasol等人於1998年所公開之技術文件(請參照S.Nakamura and G.Fasol,The blue laser diodes. Berlin,Springer,1998)中只引用了其中一部分。S.Nakamura研發的在量子效應基礎上高效發光的氮化物異質結成果已經為全世界所共有,因此將其完全歸功於Nichia公司並非名副其實。The application of these two inventions enables the realization of white light-emitting diodes for lighting, lighting and indicating purposes. The use of such yttrium aluminum garnet phosphor in a light-emitting diode is described in detail in the TW156177B patent. However, the applicant in this case believes that the invention is not absolutely innovative. The case uses this as a prototype. The following are the innovations listed in the patent case: 1. Using the blue-emitting GaInN heterojunction as the structural basis of the light-emitting diode; 2. Using synergy in the light-emitting diode Light-emitting phosphor powder particles; 3. By directing two parts of the luminescence, that is, the GaInN semiconductor heterojunction direct luminescence and the luminescent powder particles are mixed by their excitation luminescence, finally obtaining white light; and 4. using the chemical formula Y 3 Aluminium garnet of Al 5 O 12 :Ce and a derivative thereof (such as a phosphor powder composed of (Y, Gd) 3 (Al, Ga, Sc) 5 O 12 :Ce) particles. There is a large body of literature on the heterogeneity of blue-emitting GaInN semiconductors, but the technical documents disclosed by S. Nakamura and G. Fasol et al. in 1998 (please refer to S. Nakamura and G. Fasol, The blue laser diodes. Berlin, Springer). Only some of them are cited in 1998). The results of the nitride heterojunction developed by S. Nakamura for efficient luminescence based on quantum effects have been shared by the whole world, so it is not worthy of Nichia.
用於發光二極體的增效轉光粉,如前所述,採用反斯托克斯材料(請參照Berg,Din A.,LED,”Mir”,1975)經過細致的工藝製作而成。將短波輻射用於激發各種物質發光在很多專題學術論文中都有詳細描述(請分別參照P. Pringshein,Phluorescence and phosphorescence,IL,1950;G.Blasse,P.Grabmaier,Luminescence materials,Pergamon press,NY,1995;以及S. Shionoja,W. Yen,Handbook of phosphors,NY,1999.)。發明人認為,借助於發出短波輻射的發光二極體,實現從螢光粉獲取相對長波段輻射的方法並不具有實質性的創新意義與顯著的區別性特徵。用於激發其他物質發光的光源多種多樣,其中包括放電光源:1.汞蒸汽的氣體放電;2.氮氣的氣體放電;以及3.氙氣、氪氣的氣體放電。此外,雷射輻射也被廣泛用於激發螢光粉發光,如氮氣雷射器,輸出三次諧波與四次諧波的Nd:YAG雷射器。The synergistic light-transfer powder for the light-emitting diode, as described above, is produced by a detailed process using an anti-Stokes material (see Berg, Din A., LED, "Mir", 1975). The use of short-wave radiation to excite various substances has been described in detail in many academic papers (please refer to P. Pringshein, Phluorescence and phosphorescence, IL, 1950; G. Blasse, P. Grabmaier, Luminescence materials, Pergamon press, NY, respectively). , 1995; and S. Shionoja, W. Yen, Handbook of phosphors, NY, 1999.). The inventors believe that the method of obtaining relatively long-wavelength radiation from phosphor powder by means of a light-emitting diode emitting short-wave radiation does not have substantial innovation significance and significant distinguishing characteristics. There are various light sources for exciting the luminescence of other substances, including discharge light sources: 1. gas discharge of mercury vapor; 2. gas discharge of nitrogen; and 3. gas discharge of helium and neon. In addition, laser radiation is also widely used to stimulate fluorescent powder illumination, such as nitrogen lasers, Nd:YAG lasers that output third harmonics and fourth harmonics.
用半導體發光二極體激發螢光粉的方案不止一次被提及(請參照S.Nakamura and G.Fasol,The blue laser diodes. Berlin,Springer,1998)。A scheme for exciting a phosphor with a semiconductor light-emitting diode has been mentioned more than once (please refer to S. Nakamura and G. Fasol, The blue laser diodes. Berlin, Springer, 1998).
以下是關於通過將兩個或三個基礎光源相結合以獲取白光的問題。將光發生色散得到的單色光進行合成,如藍光和黃光,綠光和紅光,紅光、綠光和藍光等,最終獲得白光的做法的物理基礎最早是由牛頓奠定的,由他提出的光色理論(即牛頓互補色原理)發展而來。該物理原理在19與20世紀廣泛應用於印刷、攝影,尤其是黑白及彩色電視技術。如,茲沃雷金運用藍色光和黃色光兩種基礎光作出了發白光的黑白顯像管顯示器(請參照H.W.Leverenz,An introduction to Luminescence of Solids, NY,1950),這是彩色電視技術領域一個複雜的技術方案:不僅需要原色光具有完全色差係數,而且要在數量上補償原色以獲得色度標準的白光。The following is a question about obtaining white light by combining two or three basic light sources. The monochromatic light obtained by the dispersion of light, such as blue light and yellow light, green light and red light, red light, green light and blue light, etc., the physical basis of the practice of obtaining white light was first laid by Newton. The proposed theory of light color (ie, the principle of Newton's complementary color) has developed. This physical principle was widely used in printing and photography in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially black and white and color television technology. For example, Zworegin uses a blue light and a yellow light to make a white-and-white black-and-white picture tube display (please refer to HWLeverenz, An introduction to Luminescence of Solids, NY, 1950), which is a complex in the field of color TV technology. The technical solution: not only the primary color light needs to have a complete color difference coefficient, but also the primary color is compensated in quantity to obtain the white light of the chromaticity standard.
照明技術領域中同上述物理原理相近的問題也已解決(請參照L.M.Kogan LED lighttechnic,Moscow,Ho.5,pp.16-20.(2002)):汞蒸氣放電發出藍色光,激發YVO4 :Eu發出紅色光,最終得到與白光光源發光相接近的白光。氙氣與氪氣的短波放電保證氣體放電等離子平板能夠產生紅綠藍色和白色光。因此,用半導體發光二極體代替氣體放電光源以激發螢光粉發光是在完善照明、資訊及指示系統過程中顯著的技術進步,也是必然的趨勢。Problems similar to the above physical principles in the field of lighting technology have also been solved (please refer to LM Kogan LED lighttechnic, Moscow, Ho. 5, pp. 16-20. (2002)): Mercury vapor discharge emits blue light, exciting YVO 4 :Eu Red light is emitted, and finally white light is obtained which is close to the white light source. The short-wave discharge of helium and neon ensures that the gas discharge plasma plate can produce red, green, blue and white light. Therefore, replacing the gas discharge source with a semiconductor light-emitting diode to excite the phosphor powder is a significant technological advancement in the process of perfecting the illumination, information and indication system, and is also an inevitable trend.
可產生多種光學效果的藍光光源得到廣泛應用,比如,長餘輝和超長餘輝發光的藍光光源被廣泛應用於雷達定位技術。原始藍光與發光顯示器的黃白色餘輝光學上有機結合在一個裝置中。Blue light sources that produce a variety of optical effects are widely used. For example, long-lasting and ultra-long afterglow blue light sources are widely used in radar positioning technology. The original blue light is optically combined with the yellow-white afterglow of the illuminating display in one device.
因此,在Nichia公司提出他們的研究成果之前,由兩個或三個光源合成無色差白光的物理原理早就被大家所知並應用。Therefore, before Nichia proposed their research results, the physical principle of synthesizing achromatic white light from two or three light sources has long been known and applied.
將釔鋁石榴石用作螢光材料引起了很多法律上的糾紛,因為只有在得到Nichia公司准許的情況下才有權使用這種材料(由此甚至出現了新的研究方向-用於發光二極體的非釔鋁石榴石螢光物),這種許可權後來被證明是完全缺乏根據的。首先,由釔鋁石榴石構成的螢光材料和顯示器的出現遠早於日本研究工作者的研究成果(請分別參照G.Blasse,P.Grabmaier,Luminescence materials,Pergamon press,NY,1995;S. Shionoja,W. Yen,Handbook of phosphors,NY,1999.;H.W. Leverenz,An introduction to Luminescence of Solids,NY,1950以及V.A.Abramov,patent USSR No.635813,09,12,1977.)。化學組成為Y3 Al5 O12 或(Y,Gd)3 (Al,Ga)5 O12 :Ce的材料被廣泛應用在高速陰極射線管技術中以檢測黑白或彩色底片。以粉末狀釔鋁石榴石或單晶釔鋁石榴石為結構基礎的閃爍器被人們用在核子物理及核技術中。同時,光譜的物理修正技術也被人們應用。因此可以說,YAG螢光材料的主要物理特性,如發光效率高,在可見光的藍綠色、綠色、黃色和橙色波段寬頻帶發光,餘輝時間相當短,光通量和功率的穩定性高等,早在Nichia公司將石榴石螢光粉用於發光二極體之前就已經被人們所熟知。因而,發明人認為,Nichia的專家關於石榴石螢光粉的研究成果並沒有超出將螢光粉合理用於其直接用途所需的知識水準。同時,將所有以鈰作激活元素的發光材料都歸屬到Nichia的專利權限內也是完全缺乏根據的。人們所熟知的大量螢光材料,如Al2 O3 :Ce,釔、釓、鑥的正矽酸鹽Y2 Si2 O5 :Ce,Gd2 SiO5 :Ce,Lu3 Si2 O7 :Ce,他們被廣泛應用於螢光技術的生產,生活實踐中,與Nichia公司的專利成果沒有任何關係。The use of yttrium aluminum garnet as a fluorescent material has caused many legal disputes, as it is only possible to use this material with the permission of Nichia (therefore even new research directions have emerged - for illuminating two) The polar non-yttrium aluminum garnet fluorescing), this permission was later proved to be completely unfounded. First, the appearance of fluorescent materials and displays made of yttrium aluminum garnet is much earlier than that of Japanese researchers (please refer to G. Blasse, P. Grabmaier, Luminescence materials, Pergamon press, NY, 1995, respectively; S. Shionoja, W. Yen, Handbook of phosphors, NY, 1999.; HW Leverenz, An introduction to Luminescence of Solids, NY, 1950 and VAAbramov, patent USSR No. 635813, 09, 12, 1977.). Materials having a chemical composition of Y 3 Al 5 O 12 or (Y, Gd) 3 (Al, Ga) 5 O 12 :Ce are widely used in high-speed cathode ray tube technology to detect black-and-white or color negative films. Scintillators based on powdered yttrium aluminum garnet or single crystal yttrium aluminum garnet are used in nuclear physics and nuclear technology. At the same time, the physical correction technique of the spectrum has also been applied. Therefore, it can be said that the main physical properties of YAG fluorescent materials, such as high luminous efficiency, broadband light emission in the cyan, green, yellow and orange wavelengths of visible light, the afterglow time is quite short, and the luminous flux and power stability are high, as early as Nichia has been known for using garnet phosphors for light-emitting diodes. Thus, the inventors believe that Nichia's research on garnet phosphors does not exceed the level of knowledge required to rationalize the use of phosphors for their immediate use. At the same time, it is completely unfounded to attribute all luminescent materials with 铈 as an active element to Nichia's patent authority. A large number of fluorescent materials well known, such as Al 2 O 3 :Ce, yttrium, lanthanum, cerium orthosilicate Y 2 Si 2 O 5 :Ce, Gd 2 SiO 5 :Ce, Lu 3 Si 2 O 7 : Ce, they are widely used in the production of fluorescent technology, and in life practice, they have nothing to do with the patented results of Nichia.
由以上分析可得出以下結論:1.將螢光粉及增效轉光粉用於各種類型發光二極體的技術早已為人們所熟知;2.通過將兩種或兩種以上基礎光相合成獲得白光的方法發明人也已相當瞭解,其物理和色度原理很明確;3.用鈰為激活元素的釔鋁石榴石化合物作主要成分的螢光材料早在1965年就已出現,也就是說遠早於Nichia公司的發明;4.Ce+3 被用於啟動具有各種各樣晶體結構的螢光材料;以及5.Nichia公司關於石榴石螢光粉的專利成果並不具有創新特徵,而只是針對當前具體問題的技術解決方案:借助藍色基礎光獲得白光。From the above analysis, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. The technique of using phosphor powder and synergistic light-transfer powder for various types of light-emitting diodes has long been known; 2. By using two or more kinds of basic light phases The method for synthesizing white light has also been well known, and its physical and chromatic principles are very clear. 3. Fluorescent materials with yttrium aluminum garnet compound as the main component of yttrium have appeared as early as 1965. That is to say, far earlier than Nichia's invention; 4.Ce +3 was used to start fluorescent materials with various crystal structures; and 5.Nichia's patented results on garnet phosphors are not innovative, but only A technical solution to the current specific problem: white light is obtained with blue base light.
請參照圖1,其繪示習知暖白光發光二極體之結構示意圖。如圖所示,和日本工程師(S. Schimzu)的發明相符,這種光源含以下一些構件:氮化物半導體異質結(P-N接面)1;導線2、3;源於藍寶石(Al2 O3 )或者是碳化矽(SiC)的導熱基底4;反光支架5;以聚合物覆蓋層的形式存在的發光轉換裝置6,其中,分佈有螢光粉顆粒7;以及以球型或圓柱型透鏡的形式存在的光罩8,在其內部存在透明聚合物層9。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic structural view of a conventional warm white light emitting diode. As shown in the figure, in line with the invention of Japanese engineer S. Schimzu, this light source contains the following components: nitride semiconductor heterojunction (PN junction) 1; wires 2, 3; derived from sapphire (Al 2 O 3 Or a thermally conductive substrate 4 of tantalum carbide (SiC); a reflective support 5; a luminescence conversion device 6 in the form of a polymer cover layer in which phosphor powder particles 7 are distributed; and a spherical or cylindrical lens The reticle 8 is in the form of a transparent polymer layer 9 present therein.
實際上,所有的白色發光二極體都在重複這一略作改變的架構,所以說,這種架構是萬能的。In fact, all white LEDs are repeating this slightly modified architecture, so this architecture is omnipotent.
儘管這種架構得到了廣泛的應用,但是,不可忽視的是,它也存在一些實質性的缺點:聚合物中濃度不均勻的螢光粉顆粒層7會導致發光二極體的發光亮度和發光顏色不均勻;在氮化物半導體異質結1的輻射邊緣缺乏覆蓋層,導致產生大量的藍光輻射。同時,發光二極體的色溫非常高Tc>8000K。Although this architecture has been widely used, it cannot be ignored that it also has some substantial shortcomings: the uneven thickness of the phosphor powder layer 7 in the polymer causes the luminance and luminescence of the light-emitting diode. The color is not uniform; there is a lack of a cover layer at the radiation edge of the nitride semiconductor heterojunction 1, resulting in a large amount of blue light radiation. At the same time, the color temperature of the light-emitting diode is very high Tc>8000K.
很多的研究者都致力於修正這一缺點,包括在美國專利文獻US7,071,616(請參照Schimizu及Yetand等人之US7071616專利)中所提到的。該專利提出色溫較低的發光二極體,Tc≒3800~6000K。這一技術的解決主要是採用專門發橙黃色光的螢光粉,色座標為x>0.49,y>0.44。這種發光二極體發正常的白光,色溫Tc≒4200~4800K,其特點是,對於2θ=6°,它的發光強度非常高:I>100燭光。A number of researchers are working to remedy this shortcoming, as mentioned in U.S. Patent No. 7,071,616 (see U.S. Pat. This patent proposes a light-emitting diode with a lower color temperature, Tc≒3800~6000K. The solution to this technology is mainly the use of fluorescent powder specifically for orange-yellow light with a color coordinate of x>0.49 and y>0.44. This kind of light-emitting diode emits normal white light with a color temperature of Tc≒4200~4800K, which is characterized by a very high luminous intensity for 2θ=6°: I>100 candelas.
儘管有著很多優點,但對於正常的色溫和很高的發光強度而Although there are many advantages, but for normal color temperature and high luminous intensity
言,已知的技術解決方法存在著一個實質性的缺點即它的色溫和白熾燈光源的色溫不同,白熾燈光源的色溫為2850~4000K。從150年前發明了白熾燈的那一刻開始,人們的眼睛就開始習慣了這種色溫的暖白光源。白熾燈光源中大量的紅色光線,使得住所裡人們周遭的大部分物體都具有自然色調。尤其是這個顏色就如同人臉的顏色,在白熾燈光源下看起來很舒服,但在螢光燈下的色調卻不自然,誠屬美中不足之處。In other words, the known technical solution has a substantial disadvantage in that its color temperature and the color temperature of the incandescent light source are different, and the color temperature of the incandescent light source is 2850~4000K. From the moment when the incandescent lamp was invented 150 years ago, people's eyes began to get used to the warm white light source of this color temperature. The large amount of red light in the incandescent light source makes most of the objects around people in the house have a natural hue. In particular, this color is like the color of a human face. It looks very comfortable under the incandescent light source, but the color under the fluorescent light is not natural. It is a flaw in the world.

首先,本發明之目的在於消除上述暖白光發光二極體的缺點。為了達到這個目標,本發明之暖白光發光二極體,其結構相似於圖1中所述之結構,故在此不另繪圖說明,其係以銦鎵氮化物異質結為基體,其組成中含有大量的量子阱,其具有一聚合發光轉換層,其特徵在於:該聚合發光轉換層係以濃度均勻的形態存在,該銦鎵氮化物異質結的發光表面及邊緣覆蓋有一熱固性聚合物層,且該聚合發光轉換層含有若干螢光粉顆粒,這些顆粒以至少二層的粒子層的形式存在於該聚合發光轉換層中,以確保部分透射能達到該銦鎵氮化物異質結第一級藍光輻射的15~30%,第二級橙黃色輻射的70~85%。First, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the above-described warm white light emitting diode. In order to achieve this goal, the warm white light-emitting diode of the present invention has a structure similar to that described in FIG. 1, and therefore is not illustrated here, and is formed by using an indium gallium nitride heterojunction as a matrix.

本發明提出了新型螢光粉和在其基礎上的增效轉光粉,該螢光粉以元素週期表Ⅰ、Ⅲ主族元素的氧化物為基體,用d-f元素作激活元素,具有以下特徵:該螢光粉的基體由鋰和釔的同類鋁酸鹽的固體溶液構成,化學式為Lia (Gd1-x Yx )3 Al5+a O12+2a :TR,其中0<a≦1,0.1≦x≦0.5。在上述化合物中加入的TR為f元素與d元素:Ce及/或Pr及/或Eu及/或Dy及/或Tb及/或Sm及/或Mn及/或Ti及/或Fe,它們具有+2~+4間不同的氧化程度,當基體化合物被λ=490nm的短波輻射激發時,上述離子會輻射出波長λ=540~610nm的黃橙色光,與氮化銦鎵半導體異質結發出的短波輻射相合成後形成暖白光。The invention provides a novel fluorescent powder and a synergistic light-converting powder based thereon, wherein the fluorescent powder is based on an oxide of a main group element of the periodic table I and III, and the df element is used as an active element, and has the following characteristics. The matrix of the phosphor powder is composed of a solid solution of the same aluminate of lithium and lanthanum, and the chemical formula is Li a (Gd 1-x Y x ) 3 Al 5+a O 12+2a :TR, where 0<a≦ 1,0.1≦x≦0.5. The TR added to the above compound is an element f and a d element: Ce and/or Pr and/or Eu and/or Dy and/or Tb and/or Sm and/or Mn and/or Ti and/or Fe, which have Different degrees of oxidation between +2 and +4. When the matrix compound is excited by short-wave radiation of λ=490nm, the above ions will emit yellow-orange light with a wavelength of λ=540~610nm, which is emitted by the heterojunction of the indium gallium nitride semiconductor. The short-wave radiation phase is combined to form warm white light.
本發明之物理化學實質如下。首先,本發明之實驗發現,第I主族元素的鋁酸鹽與鋁酸釔具有相近的光學特性,如MeAlO2 或Me Al5 O8 類型的化合物。當這些化合物被Ce+3 離子啟動時,具有很強的發光特性,會被藍光二極體發出的λ=400~490nm的光束激發發光。The physical chemistry of the present invention is as follows. First, the experiment of the present invention found that the aluminate of the Group I element has similar optical properties to lanthanum aluminate, such as a compound of the type MeAlO 2 or M e Al 5 O 8 . When these compounds are activated by Ce +3 ions, they have strong luminescence properties and are excited by a light beam of λ=400 to 490 nm emitted from a blue LED.
本發明之實驗還發現,第I主族元素的單鋁酸鹽和多鋁酸鹽在與Y3 Al5 O12 石榴石類型鋁酸釔或鈣鈦礦YAlO3 類型鋁酸釔形成固體溶液時,其發光特性會增強。The experiment of the present invention also found that the monoaluminate and polyaluminate of the Group I element form a solid solution with the Y 3 Al 5 O 12 garnet type barium aluminate or the perovskite YAlO 3 type barium aluminate. Its luminescent properties will be enhanced.
第I主族元素的鋁酸鹽與鋁酸釔形成的固體溶液可以很好地溶解體積較大的離子,如Ce+3 。與Ce+3 同屬於輕稀土元素的Pr+3 也易溶解於該固體溶液中。Dy+3 ,Tb+3 ,Eu+3 等重稀土元素離子及位於輕/重稀土元素交界位置的Sm+3 極易溶解於合成的固體溶液。此時,具有可變價態的Eu+2 和Sm+2 可能同時存在兩種不同的氧化狀態:+2和+3價態,而Mn+2 與Mn+4 ,Ti+3 與Ti+4 ,Fe+2 與Fe+3 可能同時或單獨存在於固體溶液的晶格結構中。這時所有上述離子都具有很強的發光性。所有上述具有強發光性的離子被激發發光的波段在近紫外波段(Dy+3 ,Tb+3 ,Mn+4 ,Ti+3 )或可見光光譜中λ=440nm的藍色光波段。The solid solution of the aluminate of the Group I element with barium aluminate dissolves the bulky ions well, such as Ce +3 . Pr + 3 which is a light rare earth element similar to Ce + 3 is also easily dissolved in the solid solution. Heavy rare earth ions such as Dy +3 , Tb +3 , Eu +3 and Sm +3 located at the junction of light/heavy rare earth elements are easily dissolved in the synthesized solid solution. At this time, Eu +2 and Sm +2 with variable valence states may have two different oxidation states: +2 and +3 valence, while Mn +2 and Mn +4 , Ti +3 and Ti +4 , Fe + 2 and Fe +3 may be present simultaneously or separately in the lattice structure of the solid solution. At this time, all of the above ions have strong luminosity. All of the above-mentioned strongly luminescent ions are excited to emit light in the near-ultraviolet (Dy +3 , Tb +3 , Mn +4 , Ti +3 ) or blue light band of λ = 440 nm in the visible light spectrum.
在上述新型化合物中使用多種激活元素具有以下優點:1.螢光粉發光光譜覆蓋的波段較之前更寬;2.可通過加入少量第二種甚至第三種激活元素,改變或修正原始發光的顏色;3.可通過選擇不同頻率的激發光,改變螢光粉發光的顏色。The use of a plurality of activating elements in the above novel compounds has the following advantages: 1. The wavelength band covered by the luminescent spectrum of the phosphor powder is wider than before; 2. The original luminescence can be changed or corrected by adding a small amount of the second or even the third activation element. Color; 3. The color of the phosphor powder can be changed by selecting excitation light of different frequencies.
除傳統的激活元素Ce+3 外,若在螢光粉基體中再溶入Ti+3 與Fe+3 可使螢光粉輻射峰值增大125~130nm,此時的色座標具有橙紅色特徵:x=0.40,y=0.45。In addition to the traditional activation element Ce +3 , if the Ti +3 and Fe +3 are dissolved in the phosphor powder matrix, the peak of the fluorescent powder radiation is increased by 125-130 nm, and the color coordinates at this time have orange-red characteristics: x=0.40, y=0.45.
本發明提出的這種螢光粉有若干合成方案。請參照圖2,其繪示本發明一較佳實施例之螢光之製備方法之流程示意圖。如圖所示,本發明之螢光之製備方法包括下列步驟:將氧化物原料與碳酸鹽進行固態燒結(步驟1);在高溫環境下持續若干小時(步驟2);以及在還原環境中以高溫進行灼燒階段(步驟3)。The phosphor powder proposed by the present invention has several synthetic schemes.
