Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a glass that is used in a phosphor-containing wavelength conversion material and from which can be produced a wavelength conversion member less degraded in characteristics of a phosphor owing to firing during production of the wavelength conversion member and having excellent weather resistance. The glass is for use in a wavelength conversion material and contains, in terms of % by mass, 30 to 75% SiO 2 , 1 to 30% B 2 O 3 , over 4 to 20% Al 2 O 3 , 0.1 to 10% Li 2 O, 0 to below 9% Na 2 O+K 2 O, and 0 to 10% MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO+ZnO.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wavelength conversion member including a phosphor dispersed in a glass matrix, the glass matrix containing, in terms of % by mass, 30 to 75% SiO 2 , 1 to 30% B 2 O 3 , over 4 to 20% Al 2 O 3 , 0.1 to 10% Li 2 O, 0.1 to 10% BaO, 0 to below 9% Na 2 O+K 2 O, 0.1 to 10% MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO+ZnO, and 0.3 to 1.2% F 2 . 2. The wavelength conversion member according to claim 1 , the glass matrix being substantially free of a lead component and an arsenic component. 3. The wavelength conversion member according to claim 1 , the glass matrix further containing, in terms of % by mass, 0 to 10% ZrO 2 . 4. The wavelength conversion member according to claim 1 , the glass matrix having a softening point of 750° C. or lower. 5. The wavelength conversion member according to claim 1 , the glass matrix having a level of coloration λ 80 of 400 nm or less. 6. The wavelength conversion member according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphor is at least one selected from nitride phosphor, oxynitride phosphor, oxide phosphor, sulfide phosphor, oxysulfide phosphor, halide phosphor, and aluminate phosphor. 7. A light-emitting device comprising the wavelength conversion member according to claim 1 and a light source operable to irradiate the wavelength conversion member with excitation light.
