A red emitting phosphor having a low luminous reflectance, comprising a rare earth element-based phosphor body activated by europium and a red pigment coated on the phosphor body, is disclosed, the pigment being formed of indium sulfide or of a combination of indium sulfide and an alkali metal sulfate. The phosphor is produced by coating the phosphor body with a complex compound containing of indium sulfide and an alkali metal sulfide, followed by baking in an oxygen containing atmosphere at 400 DEG to 600 DEG C. so as to convert the complex compound into a red pigment consisting of indium sulfide and an alkali metal sulfate. |
