- (Y, Gd) BO 3 Eu or red phosphors such as YPVO 4 : Eu.
- the covering layer 12 is made of a rare earth oxide, aluminum oxide, a composite oxide of yttrium and aluminum such as yttrium / aluminum / garnet, magnesium oxide, and a composite oxide of aluminum and magnesium such as MgAl 2 O 4 . At least one kind is formed as a main component. This is because deterioration over time with respect to ultraviolet light can be suppressed and water resistance can be improved. Among these, rare earth oxides are preferred, rare earth oxides containing at least one element from the group consisting of yttrium, gadolinium and ytterbium are more preferred, and Y 2 O 3 is particularly desirable. This is because higher effects can be obtained and costs can be suppressed.

Specifically, for example, after the phosphor particles 11 are immersed in a solution in which a metal salt is dissolved in a solvent, the phosphor particles 11 to which the solution is attached are taken out, gelled by drying or the like, and then fired. 12 is preferably formed. This is because the coating layer 12 can be formed on the entire surface of the phosphor particles 11 by immersing the phosphor particles 11 in a solution in which a metal salt is dissolved in a solvent and attaching the solution to the surfaces of the phosphor particles 11. is there.
- the solvent an organic solvent, water, or the like can be used.
- the metal salt carbonate, nitrate, alkoxide, or the like can be used.
- the firing temperature is preferably 300 ° C. or higher and 1000 ° C. or lower. This is because it is difficult to form the coating layer 12 when the temperature is lower than 300 ° C., and thermal deterioration may occur depending on the material of the phosphor particles 11 when the temperature exceeds 1000 ° C.

- the sealing layer 26 is made of, for example, a resin in which the phosphor material 10 is dispersed.
- the light emitting element 22 is, for example, one that emits ultraviolet light, blue light, or green light as excitation light.
- Examples of the phosphor material 10 include one that absorbs excitation light emitted from the light emitting element 22 and emits red light, one that emits blue light, one that emits yellow light, and the like, or a mixture thereof as necessary. Used. Among these, when the light emitting element 22 that emits ultraviolet light is used, the phosphor material 10 of the present invention is preferably used. This is because the phosphor material 10 of the present invention has excellent ultraviolet light resistance.
- the entire surface of the phosphor particles 11 is made of a rare earth oxide, aluminum oxide, a composite oxide of yttrium and aluminum, magnesium oxide, and a composite oxide of aluminum and magnesium. Since the coating layer 12 made of at least one metal oxide is formed, characteristics such as water resistance and ultraviolet light resistance can be improved. Therefore, according to the light emitting device 20 using the phosphor material 10, the lifetime can be extended.

しかしながら、これらの蛍光体は、水分を吸着して加水分解することにより、表面が劣化してしまい、あるいは、紫外光により表面が分解されて劣化してしまう。よって、輝度などの特性が低下してしまい、十分な寿命を得ることができないという問題があった。
However, the surface of these phosphors is degraded by adsorbing water and hydrolyzing, or the surface is degraded by ultraviolet light and degraded. Therefore, there is a problem that characteristics such as luminance are deteriorated and a sufficient lifetime cannot be obtained.

本発明の発光装置は、本発明の蛍光体材料を含むものである。
The light emitting device of the present invention includes the phosphor material of the present invention.
本発明の蛍光体材料によれば、蛍光体粒子の表面全体に、希土類酸化物,酸化アルミニウム,イットリウムとアルミニウムの複合酸化物,酸化マグネシウムおよびアルミニウムとマグネシウムの複合酸化物からなる群のうちの少なくとも1種の金属酸化物よりなる被覆層を形成するようにしたので、耐水性や耐紫外光などの特性を向上させることができる。よって、本発明の蛍光体材料を用いた発光装置によれば、長寿命化を図ることができる。
According to the phosphor material of the present invention, the entire surface of the phosphor particles is at least selected from the group consisting of rare earth oxide, aluminum oxide, yttrium and aluminum composite oxide, magnesium oxide, and aluminum and magnesium composite oxide. Since the coating layer made of one kind of metal oxide is formed, characteristics such as water resistance and ultraviolet light resistance can be improved. Therefore, according to the light emitting device using the phosphor material of the present invention, the lifetime can be extended.
特に、イットリウム(Y),ガドリニウム(Gd)およびイッテルビウム(Yb)からなる群のうちの少なくとも1種の元素を含む希土類酸化物により被覆層を形成するようにすれば、より高い特性を得ることができ、また、コストを抑制することができる。

また、被覆層の厚みを、5nm以上1μm以下とするようにすれば、優れた耐水性を得ることができると共に、高い透過性を得ることができる。
Further, if the thickness of the coating layer is set to 5 nm or more and 1 μm or less, excellent water resistance can be obtained and high permeability can be obtained.
以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
図1は本発明の一実施の形態に係る蛍光体材料10を模式的に表したものである。この蛍光体材料10は、蛍光体粒子11と、被覆層12とを有している。
FIG. 1 schematically shows a phosphor material 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The phosphor material 10 includes phosphor particles 11 and a coating layer 12.
蛍光体粒子11としては、例えば、BaMgAl10O17:EuあるいはCaMgSi2O6:Euなどの青色系蛍光体、Zn2SiO4:Mn,(Y,Gd)BO3:Tbあるいは(Ba,Sr,Mg)O・aAl2O3:Mnなどの緑色系蛍光体、(Y,Gd)BO3:EuあるいはYPVO4:Euなどの赤色系蛍光体が挙げられる。
Examples of the phosphor particles 11 include blue phosphors such as BaMgAl 10 O 17 : Eu or CaMgSi 2 O 6 : Eu, Zn 2 SiO 4 : Mn, (Y, Gd) BO 3 : Tb or (Ba, Sr). , Mg) O.aAl 2 O 3 : Mn green phosphors, and (Y, Gd) BO 3 : Eu or red phosphors such as YPVO 4 : Eu.
被覆層12は、希土類酸化物,酸化アルミニウム,イットリウム・アルミニウム・ガーネットなどのイットリウムとアルミニウムの複合酸化物,酸化マグネシウム,およびMgAl2O4などのアルミニウムとマグネシウムの複合酸化物からなる群のうちの少なくとも1種を主成分として形成されている。これにより、紫外光に対する経時劣化を抑制することができると共に、耐水性を向上させることができるからである。中でも、希土類酸化物が好ましく、イットリウム,ガドリニウムおよびイッテルビウムからなる群のうちの少なくとも1種の元素を含む希土類酸化物がより好ましく、特にY2O3が望ましい。より高い効果を得ることができ、また、コストを抑制することができるからである。被覆層12は、これらの単層であってもよいし、複数層を重ねたものであってもよい。
The covering layer 12 is made of a rare earth oxide, aluminum oxide, a composite oxide of yttrium and aluminum such as yttrium / aluminum / garnet, magnesium oxide, and a composite oxide of aluminum and magnesium such as MgAl 2 O 4 . At least one kind is formed as a main component. This is because deterioration over time with respect to ultraviolet light can be suppressed and water resistance can be improved. Among these, rare earth oxides are preferred, rare earth oxides containing at least one element from the group consisting of yttrium, gadolinium and ytterbium are more preferred, and Y 2 O 3 is particularly desirable. This is because higher effects can be obtained and costs can be suppressed. The coating layer 12 may be a single layer of these, or may be a stack of a plurality of layers.
なお、被覆層12には、製造の過程において、他の成分が混入されることもあるが、その場合には、他の成分の割合を0.1質量%以下とすることが好ましい。紫外光に対する経時劣化をより抑制することができると共に、耐水性をより向上させることができるからである。また、他の成分は、被覆層12の特性に対して悪影響を与えないものが好ましく、具体的には、ケイ素(Si),ナトリウム(Na),鉄(Fe),亜鉛(Zn),クロム(Cr),ニッケル(Ni),銅(Cu),カルシウム(Ca),マンガン(Mn),チタン(Ti)あるいはカリウム(K)などがある。
In addition, although other components may be mixed in the coating layer 12 in the process of manufacture, it is preferable to make the ratio of another component 0.1 mass% or less in that case. This is because deterioration over time with respect to ultraviolet light can be further suppressed, and water resistance can be further improved. Further, it is preferable that the other components do not adversely affect the characteristics of the coating layer 12. Specifically, silicon (Si), sodium (Na), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), chromium ( Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), titanium (Ti) or potassium (K).
なお、緑色系蛍光体は紫外光による劣化が大きいが、Y2O3により被覆層12を形成すれば、劣化を飛躍的に抑制することができるので好ましい。
Although the green phosphor is greatly deteriorated by ultraviolet light, it is preferable to form the coating layer 12 with Y 2 O 3 because the deterioration can be remarkably suppressed.
被覆層12は、蛍光体粒子11の表面全体を被覆している。これにより、蛍光体粒子11の水分との接触による加水分解を抑制することができ、耐水性を向上させることができるからである。また、蛍光体粒子11には、被覆層12を通して紫外光があたるので、劣化を防止する効果を向上させることができるからである。図2は、蛍光体粒子111の表面の一部を被覆層112で被覆した蛍光体材料110を模式的に示したものであるが、被覆層112の間から蛍光体粒子111が露出しているので、十分な効果を得ることができない。なお、本発明において、被覆層12が蛍光体粒子11の表面全体を被覆しているというのは、空孔などの欠陥が存在する場合までも排除するものではなく、実質的に100%近くの被覆率であることを意味している。
The coating layer 12 covers the entire surface of the phosphor particles 11. Thereby, hydrolysis due to contact of the phosphor particles 11 with moisture can be suppressed, and water resistance can be improved. Further, since the phosphor particles 11 are irradiated with ultraviolet light through the coating layer 12, the effect of preventing deterioration can be improved. FIG. 2 schematically shows the phosphor material 110 in which a part of the surface of the phosphor particle 111 is coated with the coating layer 112, but the phosphor particle 111 is exposed from between the coating layers 112. Therefore, sufficient effect cannot be obtained. In the present invention, the fact that the coating layer 12 covers the entire surface of the phosphor particles 11 does not exclude even the presence of defects such as vacancies, and is substantially close to 100%. It means that it is coverage.
被覆層12の厚みは、5nm以上1μm以下であることが好ましい。厚みが薄いと形成することが困難であると共に、耐水性向上の効果が少なくなり、厚みが厚いと、透過性が低下してしまうと共に、コスト高になってしまうからである。
The thickness of the coating layer 12 is preferably 5 nm or more and 1 μm or less. If the thickness is small, it is difficult to form, and the effect of improving water resistance is reduced. If the thickness is thick, the permeability is lowered and the cost is increased.
この蛍光体材料10は、例えば、蛍光体粒子11の表面にゾルゲル法を用いて被覆層12を形成することができる。具体的には、例えば、溶媒に金属塩を溶解した溶液に、蛍光体粒子11を浸漬したのち、溶液が付着した蛍光体粒子11を取り出し、乾燥などによりゲル化して焼成することにより、被覆層12を形成することが好ましい。溶媒に金属塩を溶解した溶液に蛍光体粒子11を浸漬して蛍光体粒子11の表面に溶液を付着させることにより、蛍光体粒子11の表面全体に被覆層12を形成することができるからである。溶媒には、有機溶媒や水などを用いることができ、金属塩としては、炭酸塩、硝酸塩、アルコキシドなどを用いることができる。焼成温度は、300℃以上1000℃以下とすることが好ましい。300℃未満であると、被覆層12を形成することが困難であり、1000℃を超えると、蛍光体粒子11の材料によっては、熱劣化が発生する場合があるからである。
The phosphor material 10 can form the coating layer 12 on the surface of the phosphor particles 11 by using a sol-gel method, for example. Specifically, for example, after the phosphor particles 11 are immersed in a solution in which a metal salt is dissolved in a solvent, the phosphor particles 11 to which the solution is attached are taken out, gelled by drying or the like, and then fired. 12 is preferably formed. This is because the coating layer 12 can be formed on the entire surface of the phosphor particles 11 by immersing the phosphor particles 11 in a solution in which a metal salt is dissolved in a solvent and attaching the solution to the surfaces of the phosphor particles 11. is there. As the solvent, an organic solvent, water, or the like can be used. As the metal salt, carbonate, nitrate, alkoxide, or the like can be used. The firing temperature is preferably 300 ° C. or higher and 1000 ° C. or lower. This is because it is difficult to form the coating layer 12 when the temperature is lower than 300 ° C., and thermal deterioration may occur depending on the material of the phosphor particles 11 when the temperature exceeds 1000 ° C.
図3は、この蛍光体材料10を用いた発光装置20の一構成例を表わすものである。この発光装置20は、基板21の上に発光素子22が搭載されており、発光素子22は基板21の上に形成された配線23とワイヤ24により電気的に接続されている。また、発光素子22の周りには例えばリフレクタ枠25が形成されており、発光素子22の上には、発光素子22を覆うように封止層26が形成されている。封止層26は、例えば、蛍光体材料10を分散させた樹脂により構成されている。
FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the light emitting device 20 using the phosphor material 10. In the light emitting device 20, a light emitting element 22 is mounted on a substrate 21, and the light emitting element 22 is electrically connected to a wiring 23 formed on the substrate 21 by a wire 24. Further, for example, a reflector frame 25 is formed around the light emitting element 22, and a sealing layer 26 is formed on the light emitting element 22 so as to cover the light emitting element 22. The sealing layer 26 is made of, for example, a resin in which the phosphor material 10 is dispersed.
発光素子22には、例えば、励起光として紫外光、青色光、または緑色光を発するものが用いられる。蛍光体材料10としては、例えば、発光素子22から発光された励起光を吸収して赤色光を発するもの、青色光を発するもの、黄色光を発するものなどが、1種類または必要に応じて混合して用いられる。中でも、発光素子22に紫外光を発するものを用いる場合に、本発明の蛍光体材料10を用いることが好ましい。本発明の蛍光体材料10は、優れた耐紫外光特性を有しているからである。
The light emitting element 22 is, for example, one that emits ultraviolet light, blue light, or green light as excitation light. Examples of the phosphor material 10 include one that absorbs excitation light emitted from the light emitting element 22 and emits red light, one that emits blue light, one that emits yellow light, and the like, or a mixture thereof as necessary. Used. Among these, when the light emitting element 22 that emits ultraviolet light is used, the phosphor material 10 of the present invention is preferably used. This is because the phosphor material 10 of the present invention has excellent ultraviolet light resistance.
このように本実施の形態によれば、蛍光体粒子11の表面全体に、希土類酸化物,酸化アルミニウム,イットリウムとアルミニウムの複合酸化物,酸化マグネシウムおよびアルミニウムとマグネシウムの複合酸化物からなる群のうちの少なくとも1種の金属酸化物よりなる被覆層12を形成するようにしたので、耐水性や耐紫外光などの特性を向上させることができる。よって、この蛍光体材料10を用いた発光装置20によれば、長寿命化を図ることができる。
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the entire surface of the phosphor particles 11 is made of a rare earth oxide, aluminum oxide, a composite oxide of yttrium and aluminum, magnesium oxide, and a composite oxide of aluminum and magnesium. Since the coating layer 12 made of at least one metal oxide is formed, characteristics such as water resistance and ultraviolet light resistance can be improved. Therefore, according to the light emitting device 20 using the phosphor material 10, the lifetime can be extended.
特に、イットリウム,ガドリニウムおよびイッテルビウムからなる群のうちの少なくとも1種の元素を含む希土類酸化物により被覆層12を形成するようにすれば、より高い特性を得ることができ、また、コストを抑制することができる。
In particular, if the coating layer 12 is formed of a rare earth oxide containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of yttrium, gadolinium, and ytterbium, higher characteristics can be obtained, and costs can be reduced. be able to.
また、被覆層12の厚みを、5nm以上1μm以下とするようにすれば、優れた耐水性を得ることができると共に、高い透過性を得ることができる。
Further, when the thickness of the coating layer 12 is set to 5 nm or more and 1 μm or less, excellent water resistance can be obtained and high permeability can be obtained.
