시알론 형광체 및 이를 포함하는 발광변환 다이오드{Luminescence conversion light emitting diode comprising the sialon-based phosphors}Sialon phosphor and a light emitting diode comprising the same {Luminescence conversion light emitting diode comprising the sialon-based phosphors}

본 발명은 시알론 형광체 및 이를 포함하는 발광다이오드에 관한 것이다. 보다 상세하게는 본 발명은 발광다이오드(LED)를 여기원으로 사용하여 형광체를 발광시킴으로써 백색광, 혹은 상용이 가능한 발광색을 방출하는 발광 LED 소자를 제작하는 것 즉, 가시광(visible light)영역이나 근자외선 스펙트럼(near UV spectrum) 범위에서 방출되는 광원에 의해 여기 되어 오렌지색을 발광하는 시알론 형광체 및 이를 포함하면서 자체에서 청색을 발광하는 LED와의 혼합에 의해 백색광을 방출하는 발광다이오드에 관한 것이다. 특히, 시알론 형광체는 활성이온을 둘러싼 임자결정의 공유결합정도가 높아, 여기 및 발광 스펙트럼이 낮은 에너지(red-shift)쪽으로의 전이가 발생하여 고체발광소자의 제작에 크게 기여할 수 있다. 이 때 발광 스펙트럼은 사용된 활성제의 농도에 의존하기 때문에 색재현의 응용성이 뛰어나다. 에너지 발광다이오드(LED)에서 1차적으로 방출되는 광자(photon)와 이들에 의해 LED에 도포된 형광체를 여기 시켜 발생되는 2차광의 결합으로 원하는 색을 얻는 구조이다. 이때 사용되는 형광체가 시알론 (Sialon)계열 형광체이며, 이는 티오갈레이트(thiogallate), 알루미네이트(aluminate)계열 형광체 혹은 실리케이트(silicate)계열 형광체와 혼합하여 사용할 수도 있다.The present invention relates to a sialon phosphor and a light emitting diode comprising the same. More specifically, the present invention uses a light emitting diode (LED) as an excitation source to produce a light emitting LED device that emits white light or a commercially available light emission color by emitting a phosphor, that is, a visible light region or near ultraviolet light The present invention relates to a sialon phosphor that is excited by a light source emitted in the near UV spectrum and emits an orange color, and a light emitting diode that emits white light by mixing with an LED emitting blue light in itself. In particular, the sialon phosphor has a high degree of covalent bonding of the crystals surrounding the active ions, and thus, excitation and emission spectra may be shifted toward red-shift, which may greatly contribute to the fabrication of a solid light emitting device. At this time, since the emission spectrum depends on the concentration of the active agent used, the application of color reproduction is excellent. It is a structure that obtains a desired color by combining a photon emitted primarily from an energy light emitting diode (LED) and secondary light generated by exciting a phosphor coated on the LED by the photon. At this time, the phosphor used is a sialon-based phosphor, which may be mixed with thiogallate, aluminate-based phosphor, or silicate-based phosphor.

백색광을 방출하는 발광 변환 발광다이오드(luminescence conversion LED)는 현재 대략 460㎚ 영역의 파장을 가지는 청색 Ga(In)N 발광다이오드와 황색광을 방출하는 YAG:Ce3+인광물질(미합중국 특허 제5,998,925호와 유럽특허 제862,794호)의 결합으로 만들어진다. 그러나, 이러한 백색광 발광다이오드는 범용 조명용으로 단지 제한된 범위 내에서만 사용되는데, 이는 색 성분의 부재(주로 적색광 성분)로 인해 연색성(color rendering)이 나빠지기 때문이다. 대체 방법은 적색, 녹색, 청색 삼색을 섞어서 백색광이 나오게 하는 방법(예를 들면, 국제특허공개공보 WO 98/39805호를 참조)과 청색 LED위에 녹색, 적색을 섞어서 백색광이 나오게 하는 방법이 있다.Luminescence conversion LEDs emitting white light currently present blue Ga (In) N light emitting diodes having wavelengths in the region of approximately 460 nm and YAG: Ce 3+ phosphors emitting yellow light (US Pat. No. 5,998,925). And European Patent No. 862,794). However, such white light emitting diodes are used only within a limited range for general purpose illumination, because of the lack of color components (mainly red light components), resulting in poor color rendering. Alternative methods include mixing red, green, and blue colors to produce white light (see, for example, WO 98/39805) and mixing green and red on blue LEDs to produce white light.

백색 발광다이오드를 위한 해결책으로 특히 적녹청(RGB) 접근법, 다른 말로 하면적색, 녹색, 청색 삼색의 혼합에 의한 접근 방법과 황청(OG)접근법, 즉, 황색과 녹색을 이용한 접근 방법등이 이용될 수 있다. 적녹청(RGB) 접근법은 적색, 녹색, 청색의 LED들을 적절히 조합하여 백색광을 생성하는 방법이다. 이들 방법은 개별적으로 성능 및 제조방법이 최적화된 LED들을 사용하기 때문에 우수한 색 랜더링(Color rendering)을 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면에 구동조건의 조정이 난이하고, 여러 개의 LED들을 조합하여야 하기 때문에 제조가격이 매우 높다는 단점이 있다. 이 같은 어려움을 극복하기 위한 방법으로서 LED에 형광체를 도포하여 형광체로부터 발광하는 2차 광원을 이용하는 방법으로 대표적인 방법이 일본국 소재 니찌아사에서 개발한 청색 LED에 오렌지색을 내는 YAG:Ce형광체를 도포하여 백색광을 얻는 방식이다(미합중국 특허 제6,069,440호). 이 같은 방식은 2차광을 이용하면서 발생하는 양자결손(quantum deficits) 및 재방사효율에 기인한 효율이 감소하고, 색 랜더링이 용이하지 않다는 단점에도 불구하고 구동이 용이하고 가격이 현저히 저렴하다는 이점 때문에 널리 상용화되어 있다. 또한, 기존에 생산되고 있는 황색과 청색 LED를 이용한 백색 발광다이오드의 경우, 연색성 등의 문제로 조명용으로서의 한계가 있는 것이 사실이다. 이를 위해 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 문제 중의 하나가 근자외선(380 내지 430㎚)영역과 가시광(450 내지 480㎚)영역에서 에너지를 흡수하여 가시광 영역의 광자를 방출할 수 있는 형광체를 개발하는 것이다.Solutions for white light-emitting diodes in particular include the red cyan (RGB) approach, in other words the approach of a mixture of red, green and blue tricolor and the yellow (OG) approach, ie the approach using yellow and green. Can be. The red cyan approach is a method of properly combining red, green and blue LEDs to produce white light. These methods have the advantage of obtaining excellent color rendering because they use LEDs that are individually optimized for performance and fabrication, while the driving conditions are difficult to adjust and the combination of multiple LEDs is required. The disadvantage is that the price is very high. As a method of overcoming these difficulties, a method of using a secondary light source that emits light from the phosphor by applying a phosphor to the LED is a representative method of applying a YAG: Ce phosphor having orange color to a blue LED developed by Nichia Corporation, Japan. To obtain white light (US Pat. No. 6,069,440). This method reduces the efficiency due to quantum deficits and re-radiation efficiency caused by the use of secondary light, and because of the advantages that it is easy to drive and the price is significantly lower despite the disadvantage that color rendering is not easy. It is widely commercialized. In addition, it is true that the white light emitting diodes using yellow and blue LEDs, which are produced in the past, have limitations for lighting due to problems such as color rendering. One of the most urgent problems to be solved is to develop a phosphor capable of absorbing energy in the near ultraviolet (380 to 430 nm) region and the visible light (450 to 480 nm) region to emit photons in the visible region.

본 발명의 목적은 근자외선 스펙트럼(near UV spectrum)과 청색범위에서 방출되는광원에 의해 여기 되어 가시광을 방출하는 시알론 형광체를 이용하여 발광변환 다이오드를 제공하는데 있다. 또한 시알론 형광체의 조성변환을 통해 1차적으로 사용된 LED에 가장 적합하도록 여기 및 발광 스펙트럼이 조정된 시알론 형광체를 제공하는데 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting diode using a sialon phosphor which is excited by a near UV spectrum and a light source emitted in a blue range and emits visible light.

The raw materials were mixed at this ratio and milled for 24 hours by ball milling in a non-aqueous solvent, for example nucleic acid. The powder obtained through this was heat-treated for 2 to 8 hours at 1,500 to 1,900 ℃ in a nitrogen atmosphere.
