Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for treating a Mn-activated complex fluoride phosphor is provided wherein a preliminarily-prepared red phosphor of a Mn-activated complex fluoride represented by the following formula (1): A 2 MF 6 :Mn  (1) wherein M represents at least one tetravalent element selected from Si, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge and Sn, A represents at least one alkali metal selected from Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs provided that at least Na and/or K is contained, is heated in a substantially oxygen atom-free gas but containing a fluorine atom at a temperature of at least 50° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating a Mn-activated complex fluoride phosphor comprising: heating a preliminarily-prepared red phosphor of a Mn-activated complex fluoride represented by the following formula (1): A 2 MF 6 :Mn  (1) wherein M represents at least one tetravalent element selected from the group consisting of Si, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge and Sn, A represents at least one alkali metal selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs provided that at least Na and/or K is contained, in a substantially oxygen atom-free gas containing a fluorine atom at a temperature in a range of 50° C. to 600° C., and wherein the substantially oxygen atom-free gas containing a fluorine atom is a gas containing at least one of CF 4 and BF 3 or a mixed gas thereof with N 2 or Ar. 2. The method for treating a Mn-activated complex fluoride phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature is in a range of 50° C. to 200° C. 3. The method for treating a Mn-activated complex fluoride phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the substantially oxygen atom-free gas containing a fluorine atom contains at least 5% by volume of fluorine compound. 4. The method for treating a Mn-activated complex fluoride phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the substantially oxygen atom-free gas containing a fluorine atom contains at least 10% by volume of fluorine compound.
