Definitions

  • This invention relates to a light emitting device, and lighting system, display using the same.
  • a white-light emitting device constructed by combining a gallium nitride (GaN) base light-emitting diode (LED) as semiconductor light emitting device and phosphors as wavelength converting material has been noted as light source for a display or lighting system, making use of its advantages of low power consumption and long operating life.
  • GaN gallium nitride
  • LED light-emitting diode
  • a white LED comprising In-added GaN base blue LED and Ce-activated yttrium aluminium garnet base yellow phosphor can be cited particularly.
  • the light amount in the range of red (600 nm or longer) and blue green (480 nm to 510 nm) is small, and that the general color rendering index Ra of the light from the light emitting device is low. Therefore, an improvement has been demanded.
  • white LED emitting white composite light can be obtained by exciting, using blue LED, phosphor consisting of a red phosphor such as (Ca 1-a-b Sr a Eu b )S:Eu 2+ , which is used for increasing red light component in addition to the light component of a green phosphor such as (Y 1-a-b Gd a Ce b ) 3 (AL 1-c Ga c ) 5 O 12 . It shows, in addition, a method of obtaining white light by means of adjusting the weight ratio of the green phosphor to be 40% to 80% of a mixture of the green and the red phosphors.
  • the red phosphor used here is a substance which can be excited by the light emitted from a green phosphor.
  • the weight ratio of the red phosphor is necessary to be 20% to 60%, which is relatively much. This then leads to a problem of reduction in luminous flux emitted from the white LED because green light emitted from the green phosphor is absorbed by the large amount of the red phosphor, having low luminous efficiency.
  • non-Patent Document 1 white LED, using SrGa 2 S 4 :Eu 2+ as green phosphor and ZnCdS:Ag,Cl as red phosphor, is disclosed. There are problems, with this LED too, of insufficient luminous flux, insufficient color rendering and vulnerability of the sulfide to deterioration when the white LED is used.

  • the present invention has been made in view of the prior arts as mentioned above, aiming at creating a light emitting device which is excellent in both luminance and color rendering. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device which is excellent in both luminance and color rendering, and a lighting system and display using the same.
  • a light emitting device having excellent luminance and excellent color rendering can be obtained by using a mixture consisting of two or more kinds of phosphors whose luminous efficiency are 35% or higher when excited by the visible light from a semiconductor light emitting device at room temperature, wherein said mixture contains a first phosphor and a second phosphor that is different from said first phosphor and capable of absorbing emitted light from said first phosphor, and said first phosphor is contained 85 weight % or more of said mixture of phosphors, which leads to creation of the present invention.

  • Material for the phosphors of the present invention is one or more kinds of phosphors selected from a group consisting of oxides, oxynitrides and nitrides. By using these materials, the light emitting device will not be vulnerable to deterioration when it is used, and will show high emission efficiency when the temperature of the phosphor becomes high under high-load light irradiation from, for example, a power LED. This leads to the preferable result of less vulnerability to deterioration and higher luminance.

  • the letter ⁇ i takes the value of N PL , the number of photons produced by photoluminescence, divided by N abs , the number of photons absorbed in the sample.
  • N PL is proportional to the amount calculated by (formula 3).
  • the integral interval is restricted to the wavelength region of photons that are produced from the sample by photoluminescence so as to eliminate the contribution of photons, which are reflected from the sample, from the function I( ⁇ ).
  • the lower interval limit of the (formula 3) integration takes the value of upper interval limit of (formula 1) integration
