Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A phosphor includes a nitride including an alkaline-earth metal element, silicon, and an activator element, wherein the phosphor has a volume average particle diameter ranging from about 50 nm to about 400 nm, and an internal quantum efficiency of greater than or equal to about 60% at an excitation wavelength of 450 nm, the phosphor is represented by a formula M 2 Si 5 N 8 , the M includes one or more alkaline-earth metal element selected from Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mg and including at least Sr, and one or more activator element selected from Eu and Ce and including at least Eu, an amount of the Sr included in the phosphor is about 15 mol % to about 99 mol % based on total moles of the M, and an amount of the activator element included in the phosphor is about 1 mol % to 20 mol % based on the total moles of the M.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A phosphor comprising a nitride, the nitride comprising an alkaline-earth metal element, silicon, and an activator element; wherein the phosphor has a volume average particle diameter ranging from about 50 nm to about 400 nm, and an internal quantum efficiency of greater than or equal to about 60% at an excitation wavelength of 450 nm; the nitride is represented by a formula M 2 Si 5 N 8 ; the M comprises: one or more alkaline-earth metal element selected from Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mg and comprising at least Sr; and one or more activator element selected from Eu and Ce and comprising at least Eu; an amount of the Sr included in the phosphor is about 15 mol % to about 99 mol % based on total moles of the M; and an amount of the activator element included in the phosphor is about 1 mol % to 20 mol % based on the total moles of the M. 2. The phosphor of claim 1 , wherein the nitride has a same crystal structure as a material represented by a formula Sr 2 Si 5 N 8 . 3. The phosphor of claim 2 , wherein the phosphor further comprises a silicon-containing compound having a crystal structure that is different from the crystal structure of the nitride; and an amount of the nitride included in the phosphor is greater than or equal to about 50 mass % based on a sum of a mass of the nitride and a mass of the silicon-containing compound. 4. The phosphor of claim 1 , wherein the phosphor has a volume average particle distribution index ranging from about 1.20 to about 1.35. 5. The phosphor of claim 1 , wherein the phosphor has a volume average particle diameter ranging from about 100 nm to about 300 nm. 6. The phosphor of claim 1 , wherein the phosphor has an internal quantum efficiency of greater than or equal to about 70% at an excitation wavelength of 450 nm. 7. The phosphor of claim 3 , wherein the amount of the silicon-containing compound included in the phosphor is less than or equal to about 30 mass % based on a sum of a mass of the nitride and a mass of the silicon-containing compound. 8. A phosphor comprising a nitride, the nitride comprising an alkaline-earth metal element, silicon, and an activator element; wherein the phosphor has a volume average particle diameter ranging from about 50 nm to about 400 nm, and an internal quantum efficiency of greater than or equal to about 60% at an excitation wavelength of 450 nm, and a volume average particle distribution index ranging from about 1.20 to about 1.35; the nitride is represented by a formula M 2 Si 5 N 8 ; wherein the M comprises: one or more alkaline-earth metal element selected from Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mg and comprising at least Sr; and one or more activator element selected from Eu and Ce and comprising at least Eu; and the nitride has a same crystal structure as a material represented by a formula Sr 2 Si 5 N 8 .
