Description
本発明は、アルカリ土類硫化物を主成分とする赤色蛍光体及びその製造方法に関し、詳しくはエレクトロルミネッセンセス(EL)、電界放射型ディスプレイ(FED)、プラズマディスプレイ(PDP)等のディスプレイデバイスに用いられるアルカリ土類硫化物を主成分とする赤色蛍光体及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a red phosphor mainly composed of an alkaline earth sulfide and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a display such as an electroluminescence (EL), a field emission display (FED), or a plasma display (PDP). The present invention relates to a red phosphor mainly composed of alkaline earth sulfide used in a device and a method for producing the same.
蛍光体は、電子線又は紫外線により励起し発光する。このような蛍光体は、ディスプレイデバイスとして用いられている。パソコン用、TV用等の表示用ディスプレイにはカラー化が不可欠である。 The phosphor emits light when excited by an electron beam or ultraviolet rays. Such a phosphor is used as a display device. Colorization is indispensable for displays for personal computers and TVs.
カラー化に用いられる赤色、緑色、青色の3原色に発光する蛍光体として硫化物を主体とするものが信頼性、耐環境性に優れているが、要求特性である輝度、効率及び色純度のいずれかの点で満足するものではなく実用化の妨げとなっている。 The phosphors that emit light in the three primary colors of red, green, and blue used for colorization are mainly composed of sulfides, which are excellent in reliability and environmental resistance, but have the required characteristics of brightness, efficiency, and color purity. It is not satisfactory in any respect and hinders practical application.
加速電圧が100V程度と低加速電圧のELの用途においては、青緑色蛍光体としてSrS:Ce、緑色蛍光体としてZnS:Tb、また橙色蛍光体としてZnS:Mn等が知られている。 In EL applications where the acceleration voltage is as low as about 100 V, SrS: Ce is known as a blue-green phosphor, ZnS: Tb as a green phosphor, ZnS: Mn as an orange phosphor, and the like.
赤色蛍光体は、物理測光における発光強度が、緑色や橙色の蛍光体と同じであっても赤色は視感度が低いため、輝度が低い。従って、緑色や橙色の蛍光体と比べて効率が悪い。 The red phosphor has low luminance because red has low luminous sensitivity even if the emission intensity in physical photometry is the same as that of the green or orange phosphor. Therefore, the efficiency is lower than that of green and orange phosphors.
このため、従来においては、赤色蛍光体の特性を向上させる試みが多くなされている。例えば特許文献1(特開2002−80845号公報)及び特許文献2(特開2003−41250号公報)には、硫化カルシウムを母体中心とし、Euを発光中心、Mn,Li,Ce,Gd等を増感剤とした赤色蛍光体が記載されている。 For this reason, conventionally, many attempts have been made to improve the characteristics of the red phosphor. For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-80845) and Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-41250), calcium sulfide is the center of the matrix, Eu is the emission center, Mn, Li, Ce, Gd, and the like. A red phosphor as a sensitizer is described.
これらの赤色蛍光体は、発光の赤色純度に優れており、EL用デバイスとして期待が大きいが、低速電子励起では輝度が不充分であり、また化学的に不安定で、再現性が得にくいという問題がある。しかも、この蛍光体の製造に際しては、アルカリ土類系硫化物は酸化されやすく化学的に不安定であるため、原料であるCaS,Eu2S3を有毒な硫化水素ガスや二硫化炭素ガス雰囲気や水素を含有する還元性雰囲気で焼成する必要があった。These red phosphors have excellent red purity of light emission, and are expected as EL devices, but they are insufficient in luminance by low-speed electron excitation, are chemically unstable, and are difficult to obtain reproducibility. There's a problem. Moreover, since alkaline earth sulfides are easily oxidized and chemically unstable during the production of this phosphor, the raw materials CaS and Eu 2 S 3 are toxic in hydrogen sulfide gas or carbon disulfide gas atmosphere. And firing in a reducing atmosphere containing hydrogen.
また、その他の赤色蛍光体として、Y2O2S:Euからなる組成の赤色蛍光体、ZnCdS:Ag,ClやZnCdS:Mn等の組成からなる赤色蛍光体、ZnS:Mnからなる組成の赤色蛍光体が提案されている。As other red phosphors, a red phosphor having a composition composed of Y 2 O 2 S: Eu, a red phosphor having a composition such as ZnCdS: Ag, Cl, ZnCdS: Mn, and a red having a composition composed of ZnS: Mn. Phosphors have been proposed.
Y2O2S:Euからなる組成の蛍光体は、電子線励起で効率が高く、ブラウン管用の用途が期待されるが、色純度に劣り、低速電子励起では極端に輝度が低下する。A phosphor having a composition composed of Y 2 O 2 S: Eu is high in efficiency by electron beam excitation and is expected to be used for a cathode ray tube, but has poor color purity and extremely low luminance in low-speed electron excitation.
ZnCdS:Ag,ClやZnCdS:Mn等の組成からなる赤色蛍光体は、化学的に安定な材料であり、低加速電圧で発光するが、規制対象物質のCdを含むため、この蛍光体を用いたデバイスは将来的に販売できなくなる可能性が高い。 A red phosphor having a composition such as ZnCdS: Ag, Cl or ZnCdS: Mn is a chemically stable material and emits light at a low acceleration voltage. However, since it contains Cd as a regulated substance, this phosphor is used. There is a high possibility that the devices that were sold will not be sold in the future.
ZnS:Mnからなる組成の赤色蛍光体は、EL用途としては輝度、効率が高いが、発光色が橙色であるためカラーフィルターを必要とする。 A red phosphor having a composition composed of ZnS: Mn has high luminance and efficiency for EL applications, but requires a color filter because the emission color is orange.
このように、低速電子励起で、特にEL用途に用いられ、色純度のみならず輝度及び効率が良好な赤色蛍光体は得られていない。 As described above, a red phosphor having low luminance excitation and particularly good luminance and efficiency as well as color purity has not been obtained.
従って、本発明の目的は、低速電子励起においても、高い色純度と共に良好な輝度及び効率を有し、特にEL用途に好適に用いられる赤色蛍光体、及びその安定的、かつ再現性の良好な製造方法を提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a red phosphor having good luminance and efficiency with high color purity even in low-speed electron excitation, and particularly suitable for EL applications, and stable and reproducible. It is to provide a manufacturing method.

(III) At least one fluoride and rubidium carbonate selected from calcium sulfide and / or strontium sulfide and Al, Ga or In, fluoride or sulfide and sulfur and europium fluoride
上記原料(I)〜(III)のように、フッ化ユーロピウムを用いることによって、硫化カルシウム及び/又は硫化ストロンチウムからなる母体中心へのユーロピウムの固溶が容易に起こる。フッ化ユーロピウムは0.5〜1.5モル%添加することが望ましく、最適値は1モル%である。 By using europium fluoride as in the above raw materials (I) to (III), solid solution of europium easily occurs at the center of the matrix composed of calcium sulfide and / or strontium sulfide. It is desirable to add 0.5 to 1.5 mol% of europium fluoride, and the optimum value is 1 mol%.
また、上記原料(I)及び(III)のように、Al,Ga又はInから選択される少なくとも1種のフッ化物を用いることによって、これらフッ化物は焼成温度範囲で溶融するため、フラックス効果により焼結が促進される。これらのフッ化物はAl,Ga又はIn換算で0.01〜5モル%添加されることが望ましい。さらに上記原料(I)においては、これらのフッ化物のさらに好ましい添加量はAl,Ga又はIn換算で1〜2モル%であり、上記原料(III)においては、これらのフッ化物のさらに好ましい添加量はAl,Ga又はIn換算で0.5〜2モル%である。 In addition, by using at least one fluoride selected from Al, Ga or In as in the raw materials (I) and (III), these fluorides are melted in the firing temperature range. Sintering is promoted. These fluorides are preferably added in an amount of 0.01 to 5 mol% in terms of Al, Ga or In. Further, in the raw material (I), a more preferable addition amount of these fluorides is 1 to 2 mol% in terms of Al, Ga or In, and in the raw material (III), a more preferable addition of these fluorides. The amount is 0.5 to 2 mol% in terms of Al, Ga or In.

In the raw material (III), a preferable addition amount of the carbonate, fluoride or sulfide of Rb is 0.5 to 1 mol% in terms of Rb.
これらの原料(I)〜(III)を用いることによって、反応時間を大幅に短縮でき、アルゴンガス等の不活性ガス雰囲気による焼成でも酸化を抑制することができる。 By using these raw materials (I) to (III), the reaction time can be greatly shortened, and oxidation can be suppressed even by firing in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon gas.
本発明に係る製造方法では、図1に示されるように、上記原料(I)〜(III)を混合する。混合は例えばφ3mmのジルコニアボールをメディアに用いてペイントシェーカーやボールミル等で90分程度なされる。 In the manufacturing method according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the raw materials (I) to (III) are mixed. For example, the mixing is performed for about 90 minutes with a paint shaker or a ball mill using zirconia balls having a diameter of 3 mm as media.
次いで、100μm以下に分級し、さらにφ20mm、約620kg/cm2の条件で成型する。Next, it is classified to 100 μm or less, and further molded under the conditions of φ20 mm and about 620 kg / cm 2 .
さらに、900〜1180℃、1〜24時間、不活性ガス雰囲気中で焼成する。焼成温度が900℃未満では焼結体の密度が低く、機械的強度が不十分であり、1180℃を超える高温では原料に低融点物質を用いるため飛散し、組成制御が困難になる。また、焼成時間が1時間未満では物質特性に再現性が得られにくく、24時間を超えると物質飛散の増加による組成変動の問題が生じる。 Further, it is fired in an inert gas atmosphere at 900 to 1180 ° C. for 1 to 24 hours. If the firing temperature is less than 900 ° C., the density of the sintered body is low and the mechanical strength is insufficient. If the firing temperature is higher than 1180 ° C., a low melting point material is used as a raw material, so that the composition control becomes difficult. In addition, if the firing time is less than 1 hour, it is difficult to obtain reproducibility of the material characteristics, and if it exceeds 24 hours, there is a problem of composition variation due to an increase in material scattering.
不活性ガス雰囲気としては、アルゴンガス雰囲気、窒素ガス雰囲気等が挙げられるが、特にアルゴンガス雰囲気が好ましく用いられる。 Examples of the inert gas atmosphere include an argon gas atmosphere and a nitrogen gas atmosphere, and an argon gas atmosphere is particularly preferably used.
