Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing a phosphor, using a nitride raw material, that gives a high-reliability (Sr,Ca)AlSiN 3 -based nitride phosphor at a productivity higher than before. The method comprises a mixing step of mixing raw materials and a calcining step of calcining the mixture obtained in the mixing step and, in producing the phosphor having a crystalline structure substantially identical with that of (Sr,Ca)AlSiN 3 crystal as the host crystal, a strontium nitride containing SrN, Sr 2 N, or the mixture thereof as the main crystalline phase, as determined by crystalline phase analysis by powder X-ray diffractometry, and having a nitrogen content of 5 to 12 mass % is used as part of the raw materials.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a phosphor, the host crystal thereof having a crystal structure substantially identical with that of (Sr,Ca)AlSiN 3 crystal, comprising: a mixing step of mixing raw materials; and a calcining step of calcining the mixture of the mixed raw materials under a temperature condition of 1500 to 1900° C. in nitrogen atmosphere, wherein the raw materials contain a strontium nitride powder, the strontium nitride powder has a nitrogen content of 5 to 12 mass %, an oxygen content of 0.2 to 1 mass %, and a maximum diameter of 77 to 300 μm, and the strontium nitride powder comprises SrN, Sr 2 N, or the mixture thereof as determined by crystalline phase analysis by powder X-ray diffractometry. 2. The method for producing a phosphor according to claim 1 , further comprising, before the mixing step, a classifying step of reducing the maximum diameter of the strontium nitride, part of the raw material, to 300 μm or less. 3. The method for producing a phosphor according to claim 1 , wherein the raw materials, further comprise a calcium nitride powder, a silicon nitride powder, an aluminum nitride powder, and a europium compound powder.
