Definitions
- the present exemplary embodiments relate to novel phosphor compositions. They find particular application in conjunction with converting LED-generated ultraviolet (UV) 1 violet or blue radiation into white light or other colored light for general illumination purposes. It should be appreciated, however, that the invention is also applicable to the conversion of radiation in Hg-based fluorescent lamps, in gas discharge lamps, as scintillating detector elements in computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET), UV, violet and/or blue lasers, as well as other white or colored light sources for different applications.
- CT computed tomography
- PET positron emission tomography
- LEDs Light emitting diodes
- LEDs are semiconductor light emitters often used as a replacement for other light sources, such as incandescent lamps. They are particularly useful as display lights, warning lights and indicating lights or in other applications where colored light is desired. The color of light produced by an LED is dependent on the type of semiconductor material used in its manufacture.
- Colored semiconductor light emitting devices including light emitting diodes and lasers (both are generally referred to herein as LEDs), have been produced from Group IH-V alloys such as gallium nitride (GaN).
- Group IH-V alloys such as gallium nitride (GaN).
- GaN gallium nitride
- layers of the alloys are typically deposited epitaxially on a substrate, such as silicon carbide or sapphire, and may be doped with a variety of n and p type dopants to improve properties, such as light emission efficiency.
- GaN-based LEDs With reference to the GaN-based LEDs, light is generally emitted in the UV and/or blue range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- LEDs have not been suitable for lighting uses where a bright white light is needed, due to the inherent color of the light produced by the LED.
- a phosphor is a luminescent material that absorbs radiation energy in a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and emits energy in another portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Phosphors of one important class are crystalline inorganic compounds of very high chemical purity and of controlled composition to which small quantities of other elements (called "activators”) have been added to convert them into efficient fluorescent materials. With the right combination of activators and host inorganic compounds, the color of the emission can be controlled. Most useful and well-known phosphors emit radiation in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in response to excitation by electromagnetic radiation outside the visible range.
- a combination of LED generated light and phosphor generated light may be used to produce white light.
- the most popular white LEDs are based on blue emitting GaInN chips.
- the " blue emitting chips are coated with a phosphor that converts some of the blue radiation to a complementary color, e.g. a yellow-green emission.
- the total of the light from the phosphor and the LED chip provides a color point with corresponding color coordinates (x and y) in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram and correlated color temperature (CCT), and its spectral distribution provides a color rendering capability, measured by the color rendering index (CRI).
- CCT color rendering index
- the CRI is commonly defined as a mean value for 8 standard color samples (R-i-e), usually referred to as the General Color Rendering Index and abbreviated as R a .
- One known white light emitting device comprises a blue light- emitting LED having a peak emission wavelength in the blue range (from about 440 nm to about 480 nm) combined with a phosphor, such as cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet Y 3 AI 5 O- ⁇ Ce 3+ ("YAG").
- a phosphor such as cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet Y 3 AI 5 O- ⁇ Ce 3+ ("YAG").
- YAG cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet Y 3 AI 5 O- ⁇ Ce 3+
- the blue LED-YAG phosphor device described above typically produces a white light with a general color rendering index (R 3 ) of from about 70-82 with a tunable color temperature range of from about 4000K to 8000K.
- Typical general lighting applications require a higher CRl and lower CCT values than possible using the blue LED-YAG approach.

If the mixture is wet, it may be dried first before being fired under a reducing atmosphere at a temperature from about 900 0 C to about 1700 0 C 1 preferably from about 1100 0 C to about 160O 0 C, for a time sufficient to convert all of the mixture to the final composition.
- the firing may be conducted in a batchwise or continuous process, preferably with a stirring or mixing action to promote good gas-solid contact.
- the firing time depends on the quantity of the mixture to be fired, the rate of gas conducted through the firing equipment, and the quality of the gas-solid contact in the firing equipment. Typically, a firing time up to about 10 hours is adequate but for phase formation it is desirable to refire couple of times at the desired temperatures after grinding.

- the crucible containing the mixture may be packed in a second closed crucible containing high-purity carbon particles and fired in air so that the carbon particles react with the oxygen present in air, thereby, generating carbon monoxide for providing a reducing atmosphere.
- the phosphor layer 22 may also comprise from 0 up to about 5 % by weight (based on the total weight of the phosphors) of a pigment or other UV absorbent material capable of absorbing or reflecting UV radiation having a wavelength between 250 nm and 550 nm.
- Suitable pigments or filters include any of those known in the art that are capable of absorbing radiation generated between 250 nm and 550 nm.
- Such pigments include, for example, nickel titanate or praseodymium zirconate. The pigment is used in an amount effective to filter 10% to 100% of the radiation generated in any of the 250 nm to 550 nm range.
- Sample phosphors were made by mixing the following starting materials. A slight excess of Li 3 N (2% per mol of sample) was added to compensate for Li volatility at high temperatures. All samples were mixed using mortar and pestle and fired in uncovered Mo crucibles at 800 0 C for 2 hrs, then 1200 0 C for.3 hrs and finally at 1500 0 C for 5 hrs, all under 2% H 2 /N 2 atmosphere with a charcoal crucible in front of the sample.
- single phosphor lamps can be provided having CRi values greater than those achievable using YAG alone over a wide range of color temperatures.
- the use of the present oxynitride phosphors in LED blends can produce lamps with CRI values over 90, over the entire range of color temperatures of interest for general illumination (2500 K to 8000 K). In some blends, the CRI values may approach the theoretical maximum of 100.
- the phosphor composition described above may be used in additional applications besides LEDs.
- the material may be used as a phosphor in a Hg fluorescent lamp or fluorescent lamps based upon alternate discharges, in a cathode ray tube, in a plasma display device or in a. liquid crystal display (LCD).
- the material may also be used as a scintillator in an electromagnetic calorimeter, in a gamma ray camera, in a computed tomography scanner, as scintillator detector elements in a CT or PET system, or in a laser. ' These uses are meant to be merely • exemplary and not exhaustive.
