However, the iron-activated lithium aluminate infrared emitting phosphor has a problem of practical use because it has hygroscopicity and is chemically unstable. For example, the luminous efficiency may be reduced during the long-term storage process, or the phosphor slurry used for coating the fluorescent lamp may become unusable due to denaturation such as gelation.

[0006] Coating solutions used for fluorescent lamps are classified into organic and aqueous systems depending on the type of solvent, and both types have advantages and disadvantages. Usually, when the iron-activated lithium aluminate phosphor is hygroscopic and has low stability in water, the former organic system is used,
A typical example is an NC binder in which nitrocellulose is dissolved in butyl acetate. However, when an organic solvent is used, the cost of the coating process increases, the working environment deteriorates due to odor, and the like. The liquid tends to shift to an aqueous system, and there is a similar demand for an iron-activated lithium aluminate phosphor.

However, the iron-activated lithium aluminate phosphor causes remarkable elution of lithium and aluminum in water, and causes particle destruction and gelation in a short period of time. For this reason, in the phosphors which have been subjected to the conventional surface treatment exemplified above, improvement can be seen by coating with an organic solvent, but coating with an aqueous binder is still not possible due to the above-mentioned properties of the phosphor.

After dispersing organosilicon such as ethyl silicate in a solution obtained by mixing alcohol and pure water, the solution is heated and iron-activated aluminate is dispersed. Add lithium phosphor and stir. Thereafter, an aqueous ammonia solution is added dropwise, and stirring is continued while keeping the temperature for about 1 hour, whereby the organic silicon is hydrolyzed, and SiO 2 is precipitated and coated on the surface of the phosphor particles. Subsequently, decantation, separation and drying are performed to obtain an iron-activated lithium aluminate phosphor in which the surface of the phosphor particles is coated with SiO 2 .

Here, SiO 2 in the phosphor of the present invention is used.
Is 0.1 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the phosphor.
It is in the range of parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 1.0 part by weight. When the amount is less than 0.1 part by weight, the coating is insufficient, and the water resistance is not improved to the extent that it can be used in an aqueous binder. When the amount is more than 5 parts by weight, the infrared output of the fluorescent lamp only decreases. Not only that, but also the luminous flux maintenance rate is greatly reduced. Further, in the method of coating the SiO 2 , a method of coating with an alkoxide compound of Si is preferable, and the alkoxide compound of Si is preferably ethyl silicate, and water or an organic solvent can be used as a solvent. However, it is preferable to use ethanol. This is because, in the method using the alkoxide compound of Si, a denser and more uniform SiO 2 film is formed on the surface of the phosphor particles as compared with other methods, and a phosphor having better water resistance can be obtained. .

[Function] By coating the surface of iron-activated lithium aluminate phosphor particles with SiO 2 , the hygroscopicity is improved, especially the brightness is reduced due to the dissolution of lithium and aluminum in water and the destruction of the particles, and the gelation of the coating slurry. The problem is almost eliminated. From this, it is considered that the phosphor behaves similarly in the application slurry using the aqueous binder, and that the phosphor and the obtained phosphor film do not deteriorate even after long-term storage.
