Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a surface-treated phosphor ( 11 ) in which the surface of an alkaline-earth silicate phosphor ( 12 ) containing a silicate of alkaline-earth metal is covered with a surface treatment layer ( 13 ), the method comprising: surface treatment which brings the alkaline-earth silicate phosphor ( 12 ) into contact with the surface treatment substance ( 23 ) molten or pyrolyzed to form the surface treatment layer ( 13 ) on the surface of the alkaline-earth silicate phosphor ( 12 ) wherein the surface treatment substance ( 23 ) is at least one selected from a group consisting of a sulfate, a phosphate, a carbonate, a borate, a boric acid, a titanate, and a fluoride.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of manufacturing a surface-treated phosphor in which the surface of an alkaline-earth silicate phosphor containing a silicate of alkaline-earth metal is covered with a surface treatment layer, the method comprising: surface treatment which brings the alkaline-earth silicate phosphor into contact with the surface treatment substance molten or pyrolyzed to form the surface treatment layer on the surface of the alkaline-earth silicate phosphor wherein the surface treatment substance is at least one selected from a group consisting of a sulfate, a phosphate, a carbonate, a borate, a boric acid, a titanate, and a fluoride. 2 . The method of manufacturing a surface-treated phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment includes: mixing the alkaline-earth silicate phosphor with the surface treatment substance in a solid state; and heating a mixture obtained by the mixing to melt or pyrolyze the surface treatment substance. 3 . The method of manufacturing a surface-treated phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment layer has a thickness of not less than 5 nm and not more than 1000 nm. 4 . The method of manufacturing a surface-treated phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the silicate of the alkaline-earth metal is a silicate of at least a kind of alkaline-earth metal selected from strontium, barium, and calcium. 5 . A surface-treated phosphor manufactured by using the method of manufacturing a surface-treated phosphor according to claim 1 . 6 . A wavelength conversion member, comprising: a translucent medium; and the surface-treated phosphor according to claim 5 dispersed in the translucent medium, wherein the translucent medium has a refractive index smaller than the surface treatment layer. 7 . A light emission device, comprising: an excitation source; and the surface-treated phosphor according to claim 5 which converts a part of light radiated from the excitation source to light of longer wavelength and radiates the light of longer wavelength. 8 . A light emission device, comprising: an excitation source; and the wavelength conversion member according to claim 6 which converts a part of light radiated from the excitation source to light of longer wavelength and radiates the light of longer wavelength.
