Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a phosphor that emits red light, is represented by the general formula, A 2 MF 6 :Mn, and exhibits little reduction in intensity even when exposed to a high-temperature, high-humidity atmosphere over a long period of time. Also provided is a light-emitting device using said phosphor. The present invention is a phosphor in which the main crystal phase thereof is represented by the general formula, A 2 MF 6 :Mn. The element A is an alkali metal element including at least K, and the element M is one or more tetravalent elements selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, and Hf. The phosphor has a coating layer on the surface thereof. The coating layer is a hydrophobic organic substance having a hydrophobicity of 10% or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A phosphor comprising a main crystal phase represented by the general formula: A 2 MF 6 :Mn in which the elements A each represents at least one alkali metal element including at least K, and the element M represents one or more tetravalent elements selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr and Hf, the phosphor having a coating layer on a surface of the phosphor, the coating layer comprising an organic substance having a degree of hydrophobicity of 10% or more. 2 . The phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the organic substance is a fatty acid. 3 . The phosphor according to claim 2 , wherein the fatty acid is a long chain fatty acid. 4 . A light emitting device comprising the phosphor according to claim 1 and a light emitting element. 5 . The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the organic substance is a fatty acid. 6 . The light emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the fatty acid is a long chain fatty acid.
