In the past, the noctilucent material in uses such as dial plate, safe designation plates was with copper activated sulfide, for example zinc sulphide class material (ZnS: Cu).This sulfide absorbs the ultraviolet ray energy of certain wavelength and activates luminous.But the time of persistence of this sulfide is very short, and unstable properties, and photostabilization is poor, produces many problems when practical application, can not be used for the open air basically.Both be used in dial,, can not have satisfied people's needs owing to have only 20~30 minutes its time of persistence.
In order to prolong the time of persistence of this sulfide phosphor material, once adopted and in sulfide, added radioactive substance, the practice of praseodymium (Pr) for example, but adopt the harm of radioactive material confrontation human body, have to take appropriate measures, make used equipment, discharge of wastewater, waste treatment or the like all needs a large amount of expenses, and cause environmental pollution, almost can not use now.
As with the different twinkler of above-mentioned sulfide phosphor material, people have developed a kind of fluorescent material that adds (Eu) of rare earth elements europium in alkaline-earth metal.For example, United States Patent (USP) 3,294, disclosed by divalent europium activated strontium aluminate (SrAl in 699
2O
4: the Eu) invention of fluorescent material.The addition of this invention divalent europium is 2~8mol% of strontium aluminate, is 520nm at ultraviolet ray excited its luminous cutting edge of a knife or a sword wavelength down.It is the another kind of material different with above-mentioned phosphate material that but this fluorescent material does not almost have twilight sunset.
Also have other inventions as fluorescent material.For example English Patent the 1st, 190, and 520 inventions disclosed are a kind of with divalent europium activated fluorescent material, and its general expression is Ba

19Wherein: x+y+z+p=1, x, y, one or both among the z can be 0,0.1 〉=p 〉=0.001.This fluorescent material is 380nm~440nm at ultraviolet ray excited luminescence peak down.This material remains a kind of fluorescent material that does not almost have twilight sunset, is the another kind of material different with phosphor material.
In recent years, people have developed a kind of light activated luminescent material with steady persistence.For example, Chinese patent application publication number CN1053807A discloses a kind of luminescent material with steady persistence, and its general expression is m (Sr

3, wherein: 1≤m≤5,1≤n≤8,0.001≤y≤0.35.The salt that this long after glow luminous material can generate these oxide compounds after with aluminum oxide, strontium oxide, europium sesquioxide, boron oxide or heating is a raw material, with these raw materials after burning till under 1200 ℃~1600 ℃, again in nitrogen, argon reducing atmosphere, reduction under 1000 ℃~1400 ℃ temperature and making.
In addition, at United States Patent (USP) 5,376,303, also to disclose respectively among the flat 8-170076 of Japan special permission, flat 8-127772 communique be the luminescent material with steady persistence that constitutes one of element with boron.
But above-mentioned these long after glow luminous material are about 10 hours time of persistence, and the initial stage briliancy is not high enough, and improving the initial stage briliancy and prolonging time of persistence is the technical task that faces.The present inventor is improving luminescent properties in order to address these problems, and seeks cooperating of new alkaline-earth metal and rare earth element, makes new xln aspect and has carried out a large amount of experiments, has found α type Al
