OXYNITRIDE PHOSPHOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

An oxynitride phosphor and a method of manufacturing the same are revealed. The formula of the oxynitride phosphor is Ba3-x-ySi6O12N2:Cey, Eux (0≦̸x≦̸1, 0≦̸y≦̸1). Europium (Eu) and cerium (Ce) are luminescent centers. The oxynitride phosphor is synthesized by solid-state reaction. The oxynitride phosphor is excited by vacuum ultraviolet light with a wavelength range of 130 nm to 300 nm or ultraviolet to visible light with a wavelength range of 350 nm to 550 nm. The emission wavelength of the oxynitride phosphor is ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm. Thus the oxynitride phosphor can be applied to plasma display panels and ultraviolet (UV) excitation sources. The energy transfer occurs between Ce and Eu of the oxynitride phosphor and the oxynitride phosphor has a blue light emission peak and a green light emission peak. Thus color rendering index of the oxynitride phosphor is improved.
