Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a fluoride phosphor that has a good external quantum efficiency and is suitable for stably producing white LEDs. The fluoride phosphor has a composition represented by a general formula (1) and a repose angle of 30° or more and 60° or less. general formula: A2M(1-n)F6:Mn4+n (1), wherein 0<n≤0.1, the element A is one or more alkali metal elements including at least K, and the element M is a simple substance of Si, a simple substance of Ge, or a combination of Si and one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, and Hf.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fluoride phosphor having a composition represented by a following general formula (1) and a repose angle of 30° or more and 60° or less: A 2 M (1-n) F 6 :Mn 4+ n   formula (1) wherein 0<n≤0.1; an element A is one or more alkali metal elements containing at least K; and an element M is a simple substance of Si, a simple substance of Ge, or a combination of Si and one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, and Hf; wherein a bulk density of the fluoride phosphor is 1.00 g/cm 3 or more and 1.40 g/cm 3 or less, and wherein a mass median diameter (D50) of the fluoride phosphor is 29 μm or less. 2. The fluoride phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein in the general formula (1), the element A is a simple substance of K and the element M is a simple substance of Si. 3. The fluoride phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein a span value is 1.5 or less, as calculated by the following formula (2) using a 10% diameter (D10), a mass median diameter (D50), and a 90% diameter (D90) obtained from a mass-based cumulative distribution curve: (span value)=( D 90 −D 10)/ D 50  formula (2) 4. A light emitting device comprising: the fluoride phosphor according to claim 1 ; and a light emitting source. 5. The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein a peak wavelength of the light emitting source is 420 nm or more and 480 nm or less. 6. The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the light emitting device is a white LED device.
