粒度分布は、レーザー回折散乱法により測定する。測定装置には、マイクロトラックHRA9320−X100(日機装(株)製)を用い、分散溶媒には水を使用する。試料のSMS青色発光蛍光体(約20mg)と水(約40mL)とを混合し、超音波ホモジナイザー(US−150T、(株)日本精機製作所製)を用いて超音波を3分間照射して、SMS青色発光蛍光体を水中に分散させる。超音波照射後、得られた分散液の粒度分布をただちに測定する。表1中、D10は粒子径の積算篩下分布が10%となる粒子径を、D50は粒子径の積算篩下分布が50%となる粒子径(メジアン径)を、D90は粒子径の積算篩下分布が90%となる粒子径を意味する。
[Measuring method of particle size distribution]
The particle size distribution is measured by a laser diffraction scattering method. Microtrac HRA9320-X100 (manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.) is used as the measuring device, and water is used as the dispersion solvent. The sample SMS blue light-emitting phosphor (about 20 mg) and water (about 40 mL) were mixed, and ultrasonic waves were irradiated for 3 minutes using an ultrasonic homogenizer (US-150T, manufactured by Nippon Seiki Seisakusho). An SMS blue-emitting phosphor is dispersed in water. After ultrasonic irradiation, the particle size distribution of the obtained dispersion is measured immediately. In Table 1, D 10 is the particle size cumulative undersize particle size distribution is 10%, D 50 is the particle size cumulative undersize particle size distribution is 50% (median diameter), D 90 is the particle It means the particle diameter at which the cumulative sieve distribution of the diameter is 90%.

Compared with the SMS blue light emitting phosphor (Comparative Example 1) manufactured using the Sr source powder, the SrCO 3 powder and the SrCl 2 powder are used in combination with the Sm source light emitting phosphor (Comparative Example 2).

It can be seen that the uniformity of the particle size is high.
