Abstract

L'invention concerne un luminophore rouge présentant d'excellentes caractéristiques d'émission, et un dispositif électroluminescent utilisant un tel luminophore rouge. L'invention concerne spécifiquement un luminophore à base de nitrure activé à l'europium, absorbant la lumière ultraviolette à bleue et émettant de la lumière rouge. Ce luminophore à base de nitrure est représenté par la formule générale ci-dessous, w, x, y et z étant compris dans les plages ci-dessous, et comprend en outre au moins un élément de terre rare, des éléments tétravalents et des éléments trivalents, en tant qu'éléments additionnels. MwAlxSiyN((2/3)w + x + (4/3)y):Eu2+ (Dans la formule, M représente au moins un élément choisi parmi Mg, Ca, Sr et Ba ; et 0,04 ≤ w ≤ 9, x = 1, 0,056 ≤ y ≤ 18.) La longueur d'onde de pic pouvant être déplacée vers une longueur d'onde plus grande, ce luminophore à base de nitrure est capable d'émettre une lumière rouge plus profonde, même quand la quantité d'élément activateur europium, qui est un élément de terre rare coûteux, est réduite.
