Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ceramic composite for light conversion used for a light emitting diode that can be used for a display, illumination, a backlight light source, and the like, a manufacturing method thereof, and a light emitting device including the same.
- white light-emitting diodes using blue light-emitting diode elements are light in weight, do not use mercury, and have a long lifetime, so that demand is expected to increase rapidly in the future.
- a light-emitting device using a light-emitting diode element as a light-emitting element is referred to as a light-emitting diode.
- the most commonly used method for converting blue light of a blue light-emitting diode element into white light is to obtain a pseudo white color by mixing yellow having a complementary color relationship with blue.
- a coating layer containing a phosphor that absorbs a part of blue light and emits yellow light is provided on the front surface of a light emitting diode element that emits blue light, and beyond that,
- a white light emitting diode can be configured.
- the phosphor YAG (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) (hereinafter referred to as YAG: Ce) powder activated with cerium is used.
- the phosphor powder is mixed with a resin such as epoxy and applied, so that the mixed state of the phosphor powder and the resin is uniform. It has been pointed out that it is difficult to control the stability of the coating property and stabilize the thickness of the coating film, and the white light-emitting diodes are likely to be uneven in color and uneven.
- the resin required when using the phosphor powder is inferior in heat resistance as compared with metals and ceramics, the transmittance is likely to decrease due to modification by heat from the light emitting element. Therefore, it is a bottleneck to increasing the output of white light emitting diodes that are currently required.

Moreover, since it is a bulk body itself, unlike Patent Document 1, no resin is required for the configuration of the white light emitting device. For this reason, the white light emitting device has little color unevenness and variation, and is extremely suitable for high output.

- the ceramic composite for light conversion obtained by the method described in Patent Document 3 is obtained by adjusting the peak of the fluorescence wavelength of the ceramic composite for light conversion to the long wavelength side, and the integral value of the spectrum of white light obtained (all (Radiant flux) becomes smaller.
- the oxide phase constituting the ceramic composite for light conversion 1 is YAG: Ce phase, Al 2 O 3 phase, (Y, Ce) AlO 3 phase, (Y, Ce) 4 Al 2 O 9 phase, CeAl 11 O.
- the phases other than the YAG: Ce phase, the YAG: (Gd, Ce) phase, and the Al 2 O 3 phase are often low in continuity, scatter light, and increase the light transmittance. Easy to lower.
- the peak wavelength of fluorescence of the ceramic composite for light conversion can be adjusted to the long wavelength side.
- the ratio of Gd and Ce increases, the CeAlO 3 phase and CeAl 11 O 18 phase containing Ce in a large ratio, and the ratio of Gd and / or Ce (Gd, The volume ratios of the Ce) AlO 3 phase and the (Gd, Ce) Al 11 O 18 phase also tend to increase. Thereby, it is considered that the radiant flux of the spectrum of white light is lowered.
