Description
本発明はバナジウム酸化物からなる蛍光体に関するものであり、とくに白色LEDに好適なバナジウム酸化物からなる蛍光体に関するものである。また、本発明は紫外・近紫外域の光を励起光として白色発光する、組成式AxVyOz(式中、yが1、zが2.9−3.1のときは、xが0.8−1.2で、AはK、Rb、及びCsからなる群より選ばれる1種又は2種以上を示し、yが1、zが3.4−3.6のときは、xが0.9−1.1で、AはCa、Sr、及びBaからなる群より選ばれる1種又は2種以上を示す。)で表されるバナジウム酸化物からなる蛍光体に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a phosphor made of vanadium oxide, and more particularly to a phosphor made of vanadium oxide suitable for a white LED. The present invention also emit white light to light in the ultraviolet and near ultraviolet as an excitation light, in the composition formula A x V y O z (wherein, when y is 1, z is 2.9-3.1 is, x Is 0.8 to 1.2, A represents one or more selected from the group consisting of K, Rb, and Cs, and when y is 1 and z is 3.4 to 3.6, x is 0.9-1.1, and A represents one or more selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr, and Ba.) .
近年、白色LEDは携帯電話や様々な表示装置に用いられると同時に省エネルギーなどの観点から蛍光灯の代わりの室内照明装置としても注目されている。白色LEDは近紫外や青色LEDを励起光源とし、種々の波長に発光強度を持つ蛍光体を組み合わせて白色光を生み出している。具体的には青色LEDを励起光に黄色や、緑色、赤色蛍光体を発光させて白色光を得るというものである。(特許文献1) In recent years, white LEDs are used in mobile phones and various display devices, and at the same time, are attracting attention as indoor lighting devices instead of fluorescent lamps from the viewpoint of energy saving. White LEDs use near-ultraviolet or blue LEDs as excitation light sources, and produce white light by combining phosphors having emission intensities at various wavelengths. Specifically, a blue LED emits yellow, green, and red phosphors as excitation light to obtain white light. (Patent Document 1)
しかしながら複数の蛍光体を組み合わせて得る白色LEDの白色光には色抜けや特定波長のみに強い発光を示すなどの問題点もあり、室内照明として使用するには演色性を向上させるための努力が必要となる。そのため、照明用白色LEDに用いる蛍光体は発光波長が幅広い波長に広がり、特定波長に急峻な発光ピークがなく、さらには出来うる限り少ない蛍光体の組み合わせで白色蛍光を示すことが最も望ましい。近年青色LEDによって励起されるα―サイアロン蛍光体など比較的広い発光波長を持つ蛍光体(特許文献2)が開発されているが、発光スペクトル範囲が充分に広くないために、それだけでは白色にならず、さらにいくつかの蛍光体との組み合わせで白色を得ることができる。このように単一物質で出来るだけ演色性の良い白色蛍光を示すことは困難であった。 However, the white light of white LEDs obtained by combining multiple phosphors also has problems such as color loss and strong light emission only at specific wavelengths, and efforts to improve color rendering properties are required for use as indoor lighting. Necessary. For this reason, it is most desirable that the phosphor used in the white LED for illumination has a wide emission wavelength, does not have a sharp emission peak at a specific wavelength, and further exhibits white fluorescence with as few phosphor combinations as possible. In recent years, phosphors having a relatively wide emission wavelength such as an α-sialon phosphor excited by a blue LED (Patent Document 2) have been developed. However, since the emission spectrum range is not sufficiently wide, it alone becomes white. In addition, white color can be obtained in combination with some phosphors. Thus, it was difficult to show white fluorescence with a color rendering property as good as possible with a single substance.
従来、上記のように青色もしくは紫外線LEDを励起光源とする蛍光体のうち、単一物質だけで演色性の良い白色蛍光を示すものはなく、複数物質の種々の蛍光波長の組み合わせで白色を得てきたが、照明用の用途の場合には演色性、さらには製造コストの点からも単一物質で白色蛍光を示す物質を開発することが望まれる。
そこで、本発明は単一物質で白色光を発光する蛍光体を提供することにある。また、単一物質で紫外・近紫外線により励起し白色光を発光する蛍光体を提供することにある。
Conventionally, among the phosphors using blue or ultraviolet LEDs as an excitation light source as described above, there is no single substance that exhibits white fluorescence with good color rendering, and white is obtained by combining various fluorescent wavelengths of a plurality of substances. However, in the case of lighting applications, it is desirable to develop a single substance exhibiting white fluorescence from the viewpoint of color rendering properties and manufacturing cost.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a phosphor that emits white light with a single substance. It is another object of the present invention to provide a phosphor that emits white light when excited by ultraviolet and near ultraviolet rays using a single substance.
本発明者らは上記課題を解決するために、いろいろと工夫する中、蛍光体物質でよく用いられるf電子を持つ希土類イオンからの発光は、周囲の配位環境に大きく依存せず、導入したイオンのエネルギー準位に対応した発光スペクトルを示すために比較的半値幅の狭い発光ピークを示すことに、着目した。そして、本発明者らは上記課題を解決するために、f電子系発光中心イオン等に因らないブロードな蛍光発光を示す蛍光体の合成に取り組んだ。まず、バナジウム酸化物(以下、V酸化物ということがある)はYVO4やMg3(VO4)2などにおいて(VO4)3−の電荷移動遷移による発光を示すことが知られているので(非特許文献1)、VO4四面体を構造中に含む物質を探索したところ、意外にも、発光中心イオンを付活していないAVO3(AはK、Rb、Csを示す)が250〜390nmの紫外・近紫外光励起により蛍光スペクトルが490〜495nm付近に極大を持ち390〜680nmの範囲にブロードに広がる強い白色蛍光を発することを見出した。本発明者らは、この知見に基づいてさらに研究を重ね、ついに本発明を完成させた。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have devised variously, and light emission from rare earth ions having f electrons, which is often used in phosphor materials, has been introduced without largely depending on the surrounding coordination environment. In order to show the emission spectrum corresponding to the energy level of the ion, attention was paid to the fact that the emission peak showed a relatively narrow half-value width. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have worked on the synthesis of a phosphor exhibiting a broad fluorescence emission that does not depend on the f-electron emission center ion or the like. First, it is known that vanadium oxide (hereinafter sometimes referred to as V oxide) emits light due to a charge transfer transition of (VO 4 ) 3- in YVO 4 or Mg 3 (VO 4 ) 2 . (Non-Patent Document 1) Searching for a substance containing a VO 4 tetrahedron in its structure, surprisingly, AVO 3 (A represents K, Rb, Cs) that does not activate the luminescent center ion is 250. It has been found that the fluorescence spectrum emits strong white fluorescence having a maximum in the vicinity of 490 to 495 nm and broadly spreading in the range of 390 to 680 nm by excitation with ultraviolet and near ultraviolet light at ˜390 nm. Based on this knowledge, the present inventors have made further studies and finally completed the present invention.

この結晶構造を有するV酸化物の製造方法は公知の方法を応用して製造することが出来る。
その一例を示すと、酸化バナジウムV2O5粉末及びAイオンを含む炭酸塩A2CO3粉末をA:Vの組成比が1:1〜1.05:1(原子当量比からAを5%まで増やす。)となるように秤量し、粉砕・混合する。Aを5%まで増やすのは焼成過程でA成分が昇華しやすく、このように原子当量比から増やすことにより、A:V=1:1(原子当量比)のV酸化物が出来やすいためである。本発明ではA:V=1:1(原子当量比)に限定されない。
粉砕・混合する手段は既知の方法を用いればよい。例えば、ボールミル、ジェットミル等の通常用いられる粉砕機により粉砕・混合する。
次いで、該混合物を大気圧下300℃前後で一度仮焼し、その後450℃程度で焼成する。加熱手段は公知の手段を採用すればよい。例えば、一般的な電気炉を用いればよいのである。昇温速度は200℃/時程度が望ましい。昇温速度が速すぎると自己の反応熱により溶解してしまう場合があり、昇温速度が遅すぎると製造効率が悪く不都合である。
本発明のV酸化物の上記と異なる製造方法は水溶液中から析出させる方法もある。
The manufacturing method of the V oxide having this crystal structure can be manufactured by applying a known method.
For example, a carbonate A 2 CO 3 powder containing vanadium oxide V 2 O 5 powder and A ions has an A: V composition ratio of 1: 1 to 1.05: 1 (from an atomic equivalent ratio of 5 A. And weigh and grind and mix. The reason why A is increased to 5% is that the A component is easily sublimated during the firing process, and thus by increasing from the atomic equivalent ratio, it is easy to form a V oxide of A: V = 1: 1 (atomic equivalent ratio). is there. In the present invention, A: V is not limited to 1: 1 (atomic equivalent ratio).
A known method may be used as a means for pulverizing and mixing. For example, it is pulverized and mixed by a commonly used pulverizer such as a ball mill and a jet mill.
Next, the mixture is temporarily calcined at about 300 ° C. under atmospheric pressure, and then calcined at about 450 ° C. A known means may be adopted as the heating means. For example, a general electric furnace may be used. The temperature rising rate is desirably about 200 ° C./hour. If the rate of temperature increase is too fast, it may dissolve due to its own reaction heat, and if the rate of temperature increase is too slow, the production efficiency is poor and disadvantageous.
Another production method of the V oxide of the present invention different from the above is a method of precipitating from an aqueous solution.
本発明でいうV酸化物の結晶構造には、VO4四面体からなる層間にあるAが欠損する場合も含み、電荷補償のためにOもわずかに欠損している場合も含む。Aの欠損の程度は、V酸化物の製法、蛍光体とするときの操作等により受ける影響の度合いにより異なるのであって、例えば本発明の目的を達成することができる程度まで欠損されていてもよい。Oの欠損の程度もAの欠損の程度に大きく影響されるが、本発明の目的を達成することができる程度まで欠損されていてもよい。
結晶構造をとるV酸化物の組成式はAVO3で表されるとともに、そのAとOの欠損ためA/Vは1(原子当量比)以下であって、しかもO/Vとが3(原子当量比)以下であって、本発明の目的を達成することができる範囲のものまで含まれる。
The crystal structure of the V oxide referred to in the present invention includes the case where A in the layer composed of the VO 4 tetrahedron is lost and the case where O is also slightly lost for charge compensation. The degree of A deficiency varies depending on the degree of influence caused by the manufacturing process of the V oxide, the operation when the phosphor is used, and the like, for example, even if deficient to the extent that the object of the present invention can be achieved. Good. The degree of O deficiency is also greatly affected by the degree of A deficiency, but may be deficient to the extent that the object of the present invention can be achieved.
The compositional formula of the V oxide having a crystal structure is represented by AVO 3 , and because of the lack of A and O, A / V is 1 (atomic equivalent ratio) or less, and O / V is 3 (atomic (Equivalent ratio) or less, and within the range where the object of the present invention can be achieved.
上記V酸化物をそのまま蛍光体としてもよいが、上記V酸化物にMn2+、Sb3+、Bi3+及び希土類イオン等を少なくとも1種以上付活させてもよい。前記希土類イオンはスカンジウム族元素(アクチノイドは除く)とランタノイド元素のイオンを言い、具体的には、Pr3+、Ce3+、Eu3+、Eu2+、Sm3+、Tb3+、Yb3+などが挙げられる。
上記V酸化物を賦活する手段は特に制限されないのであって、すでに知られている方法を適宜採用すればよい。例えば、Mn2+、Sb3+、Bi3+、及び希土類イオン等を含む物質を所定量秤量し、蛍光体製造原料と混合して、焼成処理する方法がある。
The V oxide may be used as a phosphor as it is, but at least one or more of Mn 2+ , Sb 3+ , Bi 3+ and rare earth ions may be activated in the V oxide. The rare earth ions refer to ions of scandium group elements (excluding actinoids) and lanthanoid elements, and specifically include Pr 3+ , Ce 3+ , Eu 3+ , Eu 2+ , Sm 3+ , Tb 3+ , Yb 3+ and the like.
The means for activating the V oxide is not particularly limited, and a known method may be adopted as appropriate. For example, there is a method in which a predetermined amount of a substance containing Mn 2+ , Sb 3+ , Bi 3+ , rare earth ions, and the like is weighed, mixed with the phosphor manufacturing raw material, and fired.
本発明の蛍光体は励起され、可視光領域にブロードに広がる、特に白色を示す蛍光スペクトルを有することに一つの大きな特徴を有する。また、本発明の蛍光体は励起され、390〜680nmの範囲にブロードに広がる可視光領域にブロードに広がる白色蛍光を発することに一つの大きな特徴を有する。さらに、蛍光スペクトルが490〜495nm付近に極大を持ち390〜680nmの範囲にブロードに広がる白色蛍光を発することが特徴である。励起される手段は特に制限されないが、例えば紫外・近紫外光により励起され、特に、250〜390nmの紫外・近紫外光励起による励起手段が好ましい。白色LEDの励起光源である紫外・近紫外LEDによって励起出来る。このように、本発明の単一の物質が、広範囲のスペクトルの広がりを持つことは、従来からの蛍光体と比較しても画期的なことである。 The phosphor of the present invention has one major characteristic in that it has a fluorescence spectrum that is excited and broadly spreads in the visible light region, particularly showing white. In addition, the phosphor of the present invention is excited and emits white fluorescence broadly in the visible light region broadly spread in the range of 390 to 680 nm. Further, the fluorescence spectrum has a maximum in the vicinity of 490 to 495 nm, and emits white fluorescence that broadens in the range of 390 to 680 nm. The means to be excited is not particularly limited. For example, excitation means by ultraviolet / near ultraviolet light, for example, excitation means by ultraviolet / near ultraviolet light excitation at 250 to 390 nm is preferable. It can be excited by an ultraviolet / near ultraviolet LED that is an excitation light source of a white LED. Thus, the fact that the single substance of the present invention has a broad spectrum spread is epoch-making as compared with conventional phosphors.
本発明の蛍光体の詳細な発光機構はまだ明らかでないが、おそらく(VO4)3−の電荷移動遷移が発光起源であると考えられる。また、合成されたAVO3(AはRbである)に対して、誘導結合プラズマ法(ICP法)により元素分析を行ったところRb:Vがほぼ1:1(原子当量比)であったことも欠損による不純物準位による色中心の形成よりも、前記(VO4)3−の電荷移動遷移が有力であることを支持する。 Although the detailed light emission mechanism of the phosphor of the present invention is not yet clear, the charge transfer transition of (VO 4 ) 3- is considered to originate from the light emission. Further, when elemental analysis was performed on the synthesized AVO 3 (A is Rb) by the inductively coupled plasma method (ICP method), Rb: V was approximately 1: 1 (atomic equivalent ratio). This also supports that the charge transfer transition of the (VO 4 ) 3− is more powerful than the formation of the color center due to the impurity level due to defects.
かくして得られたV酸化物は、そのまま蛍光体として有効であるが、公知の方法を応用して蛍光体膜を作製することも出来る。 The V oxide thus obtained is effective as a phosphor as it is, but a phosphor film can also be produced by applying a known method.
本発明の蛍光体は、紫外・近紫外光を発光する発光ダイオードと組合わせて白色ダイオード(以下、白色LEDということがある)を製造することができる。
白色LEDの要部の一例をより具体的に説明すると、光源としての紫外発光ダイオードを本発明の蛍光体で覆う構造を取る。前記蛍光体で覆う構造を取るための方法・手段は特に制限されない。
紫外線発光ダイオードから放射された紫外・近紫外の波長光は、蛍光体の中に入射した後、蛍光体内で吸収され、励起されたエネルギーが外部へ白色光として放射される。 従来から知られている白色LEDにおいて、白色とは、人の目で白色に見えるという意味である。人の目には、光の三原色の混合や補色関係にある二色の混合も白色に見える。この場合、連続したスペクトルにより実現される白色光とやや異なる。
それに対して本発明の白色LEDは、紫外線励起で青〜赤までの発光を示す蛍光体を光らせて白色を作るタイプであり、連続したスペクトルにより実現される白色光ということができる。
The phosphor of the present invention can be combined with a light emitting diode that emits ultraviolet / near ultraviolet light to produce a white diode (hereinafter sometimes referred to as white LED).
An example of the main part of the white LED will be described in more detail. The ultraviolet light emitting diode as a light source is covered with the phosphor of the present invention. The method and means for taking the structure covered with the phosphor are not particularly limited.
The ultraviolet / near-ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet light emitting diode is incident on the phosphor and then absorbed in the phosphor, and the excited energy is emitted to the outside as white light. In the conventionally known white LED, white means that it looks white with human eyes. To the human eye, a mixture of the three primary colors of light and a mixture of two colors that are complementary colors appear white. In this case, it is slightly different from the white light realized by the continuous spectrum.
On the other hand, the white LED of the present invention is a type that produces white by emitting phosphors that emit light from blue to red under ultraviolet excitation, and can be said to be white light realized by a continuous spectrum.
本発明の蛍光体は、紫外・近紫外線励起発光素子により励起されてもよい。ここで、紫外・近紫外線励起発光素子は公知のものであり、本発明においては、初期の目的を達成することができる限り、どのような発光素子を用いることができる。具体的には蛍光体の性能や、使用目的に応じて、適宜最適な紫外・近紫外線励起発光素子を使用すればよく、例えば、紫外線を発する有機EL素子などが挙げられるが、本発明はその素子に限定されない。 The phosphor of the present invention may be excited by an ultraviolet / near ultraviolet excitation light emitting element. Here, ultraviolet / near-ultraviolet excitation light-emitting elements are known, and any light-emitting element can be used in the present invention as long as the initial purpose can be achieved. Specifically, an optimal ultraviolet / near ultraviolet excitation light emitting element may be used as appropriate according to the performance of the phosphor and the purpose of use, and examples thereof include an organic EL element that emits ultraviolet light. It is not limited to an element.
本発明の蛍光体は、紫外・近紫外線励起だけでなく、電子線励起発光素子により励起されてもよい。ここで、電子線励起発光素子は公知のものであり、本発明においては、初期の目的を達成することができる限り、どのような発光素子を用いることができる。具体的には蛍光体の性能や、使用目的に応じて、適宜最適な電子線励起発光素子を使用すればよく、例えば、フィールドエミッションディスプレイなどに用いられる各種エミッターなどが挙げられるが、本発明はその素子に限定されない。 The phosphor of the present invention may be excited not only by ultraviolet / near-ultraviolet excitation but also by an electron beam excitation light emitting element. Here, the electron beam-excited light-emitting element is a known element, and any light-emitting element can be used in the present invention as long as the initial purpose can be achieved. Specifically, depending on the performance of the phosphor and the purpose of use, an optimal electron beam excitation light emitting element may be used as appropriate, and examples thereof include various emitters used for field emission displays, etc. It is not limited to the element.
本発明の蛍光体は励起され、可視光領域にブロードに広がる、特に白色を示す蛍光スペクトルを有する。特に250〜390nmの範囲に励起スペクトルを持つ励起光によって本発明の蛍光体から発せられる蛍光スペクトルは390〜680nmに広がり、白色に発光する。この蛍光スペクトルは現在民生で使われている照明器具、通常の蛍光灯のスペクトルに近い発光スペクトルである。そのため本発明の蛍光体単独で白色LED用の蛍光体として使用することが出来、極めて好都合である。発光スペクトルのピークは490〜495nmの範囲にあるため色温度は高い。さらに、長波長側に強い発光を持つ蛍光体とを組み合わせることも可能であり、より暖色系の白色が得ることもできる。また水銀や鉛などを含まないため、環境・人体への悪影響も少ない。
さらに、紫外線LEDや青色LEDを励起源とする蛍光体の多くは、その合成に酸化物であれば空気中1300℃以上、酸窒化物や窒化物であれば10気圧程度の高窒素圧下1600℃の高温が必要とされる場合が多い。一方、本発明の蛍光体は大気圧で450℃程度の温和な条件で製造することができるので、製造プロセスの簡易さ、製造コストの低さなどの点も有利である。
The phosphor of the present invention has a fluorescence spectrum that is excited and broadly spreads in the visible light region, particularly showing white. In particular, the fluorescence spectrum emitted from the phosphor of the present invention by excitation light having an excitation spectrum in the range of 250 to 390 nm extends to 390 to 680 nm and emits white light. This fluorescence spectrum is an emission spectrum that is close to the spectrum of lighting fixtures currently used in the consumer and normal fluorescent lamps. Therefore, the phosphor of the present invention alone can be used as a phosphor for white LED, which is very convenient. Since the peak of the emission spectrum is in the range of 490 to 495 nm, the color temperature is high. Further, it is possible to combine with a phosphor having a strong light emission on the long wavelength side, and a warmer white color can be obtained. In addition, since it does not contain mercury or lead, there are few negative effects on the environment and human body.
Furthermore, most phosphors using ultraviolet LEDs or blue LEDs as excitation sources are 1300 ° C. or higher in air if they are oxides for synthesis, and 1600 ° C. under a high nitrogen pressure of about 10 atm if they are oxynitrides or nitrides. Often, high temperatures are required. On the other hand, since the phosphor of the present invention can be produced under mild conditions of about 450 ° C. at atmospheric pressure, it is advantageous in terms of simplicity of the production process and low production cost.

本発明は250〜390nm付近の紫外・近紫外線によって励起され390〜680nmの広範囲に渡って蛍光を示す蛍光体である。そのため、紫外線LED等の励起光源により、白色LEDとしての利用可能性がある。また、他の紫外線を発する有機ELや、その他の紫外線光源、電子線等を励起源とした発光素子としても応用が期待される。本発明の蛍光体の用途は白色光を必要とする日常灯等の照明器具や各種表示機器に用いられるバックライト等の表示器具等が挙げられる。 The present invention is a phosphor exhibiting fluorescence over a wide range of 390 to 680 nm when excited by ultraviolet / near ultraviolet light in the vicinity of 250 to 390 nm. Therefore, it may be used as a white LED by an excitation light source such as an ultraviolet LED. In addition, application is also expected as a light emitting element using an organic EL that emits other ultraviolet rays, other ultraviolet light sources, an electron beam, or the like as an excitation source. Applications of the phosphor of the present invention include lighting devices such as daily lights that require white light, and display devices such as backlights used in various display devices.
