Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A window material for an ultraviolet light emitting device for emitting an ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 300 nm or less is mounted on at least an ultraviolet light emitting side of the ultraviolet light emitting device. The window material for an ultraviolet light emitting device contains a translucent alumina substrate, and a surface of the window material has an average grain diameter of 6 to 60 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A window material for an ultraviolet light emitting device for emitting an ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 300 nm or less, the window material being mounted on at least an ultraviolet light emitting side of the ultraviolet light emitting device, wherein the window material contains a translucent alumina, a surface of the window material has an average grain diameter of 6 to 60 μm, the window material has one surface and another surface facing the one surface, and the one surface and the other surface each have a surface roughness of 0.6 μm or less. 2 . The window material according to claim 1 , wherein the window material comprises a substrate, and the substrate has a plate shape with a thickness of 2.0 mm or less, and has the one surface and the other surface. 3 . The window material according to claim 1 , wherein the one surface is a surface from which the ultraviolet light outgoes, and at least the one surface has a surface roughness Ra of 0.03 μm or less. 4 . The window material according to claim 1 , wherein the other surface is a surface into which the ultraviolet light enters, and at least the other surface has a surface roughness Ra of 0.2 μm or more. 5 . The window material according to claim 1 , wherein the one surface and the other surface have different surface roughnesses. 6 . The window material according to claim 5 , wherein the one surface is a surface from which the ultraviolet light outgoes, the other surface is a surface into which the ultraviolet light enters, the one surface has a surface roughness Ra of 0.03 μm or less, and the other surface has a surface roughness Ra of 0.2 μm or more. 7 . A method for producing a window material for an ultraviolet light emitting device for emitting an ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 300 nm or less, the window material being mounted on at least an ultraviolet light emitting side of the ultraviolet light emitting device, wherein the window material contains a translucent alumina, a surface of the window material has an average grain diameter of 6 to 60 μm, the window material has one surface and another surface facing the one surface, and the one surface and the other surface each have a surface roughness of 0.6 μm or less, the method comprising the step of: performing a gel casting process or a tape casting process to prepare a substrate which contains a translucent alumina and has the one surface and the other surface. 8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the one surface and the other surface have different surface roughnesses. 9 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising the step of mirror-polishing at least the one surface to obtain a surface roughness Ra of 0.03 μm or less. 10 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising the step of increasing at least a surface roughness of the other surface. 11 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising the steps of: mirror-polishing the one surface to obtain a surface roughness Ra of 0.03 μm or less; and increasing a surface roughness of the other surface.
