Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light-emitting device ( 1 ) includes a substrate ( 2 ); a wiring pattern ( 3 ), an electrode land ( 4 ), a sealing resin layer ( 5 ), a wire ( 7 ), and a resin dam ( 9 ) that are disposed on the substrate ( 2 ); at least one light-emitting element ( 6 ) that emits light having a peak emission wavelength in a wavelength range of 430 to 480 nm; a green phosphor ( 10 ) that is excited by primary light emitted from the light-emitting element ( 6 ) to emit light having a peak emission wavelength in a green region; and a first red phosphor ( 11 ) that is excited by the primary light to emit light having a peak emission wavelength in a red region. The first red phosphor ( 11 ) emits no light in a wavelength range of 700 nm or more and absorbs no light in a wavelength range of 550 to 600 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A light-emitting device comprising: at least one light-emitting element; and a sealing resin layer covering the light-emitting element, the sealing resin layer comprising a green phosphor and a first red phosphor, wherein the light-emitting element emits light having a peak emission wavelength in a wavelength range of 430 to 480 nm, the green phosphor is excited by primary light emitted from the light-emitting element to emit light having a peak emission wavelength in a green region that is a wavelength range of 500 to 580 nm, the first red phosphor is excited by the primary light to emit light having a peak emission wavelength in a red region, and the first red phosphor emits no light in a wavelength range of 700 nm or more and absorbs no light in a wavelength range of 550 to 600 nm. 2 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first red phosphor comprises at least one tetravalent-manganese-activated tetravalent metal fluoride phosphor represented by general formula (A): (M1) 2 ((M2) 1-h Mn h )F 6 (wherein (M1) is at least one alkali metal element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs; (M2) is at least one tetravalent metal element selected from the group consisting of Ge, Si, Sn, Ti, and Zr; and h satisfies 0.001≦h≦0.1). 3 . The light-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein, in general formula (A), (M1) is K, and (M2) is Si. 4 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second red phosphor that is excited by the primary light to emit light having a peak emission wavelength in a red region, wherein the second red phosphor comprises at least one of a (Sr,Ca)AlSiN 3 :Eu phosphor, a CaAlSiN 3 :Eu phosphor, and a divalent-europium-activated oxynitride phosphor represented by general formula (E): (Eu a (M7) 1-a ) x Si b Al c O d N e (wherein x satisfies 0.15≦x≦1.5; a satisfies 0≦a≦1; b and c satisfy b+c=12; d and e satisfy d+e=16; and (M7) is at least one of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, La, and Gd). 5 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the green phosphor comprises at least one phosphor represented by general formula (B): (M3) 3-x Ce x (M4) 5 O 12 (wherein (M3) is at least one of Y, Lu, Gd, and La; (M4) is at least one of Al and Ga; and x satisfies 0.005≦x≦0.20). 6 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting element is an InGaN LED chip, and the light-emitting device emits white light.
