Definitions
- the present invention is suitable for a vehicle lighting device that is provided at the rear of a vehicle and emits red light toward the rear, particularly for a red rear lamp, a red stop lamp, and the like, in order to improve vehicle braking and nighttime visibility.
- the present invention relates to a red lamp and a vehicle lighting device including the red lamp.
- rear lamps and stop lamps that radiate red light toward the rear of the vehicle in conjunction with brakes and lighting switches.
- lighting devices such as rear lamps and stop lamps that radiate red light toward the rear of the vehicle in conjunction with brakes and lighting switches.
- rear lamps and stop lamps incandescent light bulbs, halogen light bulbs, and HID lamps are generally used, and those that irradiate red light with a translucent resin colored in red are often used.
- rear lamps and stop lamps on which a plurality of arranged red LEDs are mounted are also known.
- the light emitted from the light source contains a lot of light other than red light.
- red light such as a resin cover. Red light is obtained by blocking with a translucent material. Therefore, there is a drawback in that light energy other than red light out of emitted light from the light source is wasted.
- red LED has high directivity for light emission and high visibility in front of the lamp (in the optical axis direction of the lamp), but poor in visibility from the side of the lamp (in the direction away from the optical axis of the lamp).
- the red LED has high directivity for light emission and high visibility in front of the lamp (in the optical axis direction of the lamp), but poor in visibility from the side of the lamp (in the direction away from the optical axis of the lamp).
- red lighting devices such as rear lamps and stop lamps for vehicles are composed of a light source for lighting, a cover member that covers the light source part, a reflector, a lens, a light diffusing member, a design member, etc. Often integrated.
- a light source a light bulb is usually used, but in recent years, a light source using a red LED as a light source has also been used.
- the cover member that covers the light source section is usually made of a thermoplastic resin such as ABS resin, and has various functions depending on purposes such as protection of the light source section, light diffusion, function as a lens for condensing light, and design. Molded into a shape and used.
- cover members such as a taillight cover include a colorless or white taillight cover in addition to red, and a so-called euro tail in which only the lens portion is colored.
- many reflectors that use corner cubes are used, and the reflectors shine red when illuminated by the headlights of the vehicle behind them, and are lit when parked at night. It also has a function to call attention even when it is not.
- a light bulb or a red LED emits light, and white light or red light emitted from the light source is irradiated to the rear of the vehicle using a cover member, a reflector, a lens, and a light diffusing member.
- the light emitted from the lamp is basically emitted from a light bulb or LED, and when a light bulb is used, light emission close to white is common, so it is formed of resin or the like.
- the color adjustment is performed such that a part of light emitted from the light bulb is cut to red light through a red filter member. In this case, since the light that does not pass through the red filter member does not go out of the lighting device, the light energy use efficiency in this method is low.
- red LED when a red LED is used, it is generally necessary to use a large number of red LEDs because the amount of light of one red LED used as a light source is relatively small, which is not preferable in terms of cost. Furthermore, the red LED light source has a problem of high directivity of light emission, high visibility only in the front direction of light emission (rear of the vehicle), and poor visibility on the side of the lamp. Various red LEDs with different light emission directions are mounted, or light from the red LEDs is scattered by a highly transparent lens such as resin or glass. However, multiple red LEDs should be placed.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, is low-cost and high-efficiency, and not only in the front of the lamp (in the direction of the optical axis of the lamp) but also in the side of the lamp (in the direction away from the optical axis of the lamp).
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a red lamp with high visibility and a vehicle lighting device equipped with the red lamp and suitable for a red rear lamp, a red stop lamp, and the like.

M2(A1-xMnx)F6 (1)
(式中、MはLi、Na、K、Rb及びCsから選ばれる1種類以上の元素、AはSi、Ge及びTiから選ばれる1種類以上の元素、xは0.001以上0.3以下である。)
で表される複フッ化物塩が好ましく、下記式(2)
K2(Si1-xMnx)F6 (2)
(式中、xは上記と同じ。)
で表される複フッ化物塩が、特に好ましい。複フッ化物蛍光体中の賦活剤であるマンガンは、上記式(1)中のAの部位を置換して賦活剤として作用する。A元素に対する置換割合は、式(1)及び(2)中のxが0.001以上0.3以下、特に0.01以上0.05以下である。式(1)中のA元素、又は式(2)中のSiに対するMnの置換割合が0.001よりも低い場合は、複フッ化物塩の青色光の吸収率が低く、赤色発光の能力が劣ってしまう。一方、Mnの置換割合が0.3よりも高い場合は、複フッ化物塩の発光効率が下がることで、赤色光の発光効率が低下してしまう。
図1は、本発明の赤色ランプの一例(第1の態様)を示す図である。この赤色ランプ1は、略半楕円球形状の基材(リフレクタ)10と、赤色ランプ1の後方側(赤色光の照射方向と反対方向)の基材10の内面上に設けられ、赤色ランプの前方側(赤色光の照射方向)に青色光を発光する3つの素子(発光部)111を有する1つの青色LED11(なお、素子及び青色LEDの数は、限定されるものではない。以下の態様において同じ。)と、青色LED11に対して、その青色光の発光方向に対向して、赤色ランプ1の前方側に設けられた平板状の赤色発光部材12と、赤色発光部材12に対して、赤色ランプ1の赤色光の照射方向の更に前方に設けられた平板状の保護カバー13とを備える。
図8に示される赤色ランプを製作した。図8は、本発明の赤色ランプの一例(第8の態様)を示す図である。この赤色ランプ8は、横断面四角形の有底筒形状の基材(リフレクタ)80と、赤色ランプ8の後方側(赤色光の照射方向と反対方向)の基材80の底板内面上に設けられ、赤色ランプの前方側(赤色光の照射方向)に青色光を発光する青色LED81と、青色LED81に対して、その青色光の発光方向に対向して、赤色ランプ8の前方側(赤色光の照射方向)に設けられた平板状の赤色発光部材82と、赤色発光部材82に対して、赤色ランプ8の赤色光の照射方向の更に前方に、赤色発光部材82から発光した赤色成分(赤色光)及び赤色発光部材82を透過した赤色成分が通過するように、赤色発光部材82の赤色ランプ8の前方側を覆って設けられた平板状の板状の保護カバー(オレンジ色透明樹脂カバー)83を備える。
赤色発光物質として、K2(Ti0.97Mn0.03)F6で示される複フッ化物塩(粒度:体積累計D50=25μm、D90=85μm)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にして赤色ランプを製作した。
図10に示される赤色ランプを製作した。この赤色ランプ9は、図8に示される赤色ランプに対し、光源として白色LED(Cree社製CR-E)91を用い、赤色発光部材を用いず、厚さ2mmの赤色透明アクリル板をフィルター部材93として用いたことが異なる。なお、図10中、90は基材(リフレクタ)である。白色LEDは、出力1Wのものを2個配置した。
図10に示される赤色ランプを製作した。この赤色ランプ9は、図8に示される赤色ランプに対し、光源として赤色LED(日亜化学工業株式会社製NS6R083T)91を用い、赤色発光部材を用いず、保護カバーとして、厚さ2mmの無色の透明樹脂カバー93を用いたことが異なる。赤色LEDは、出力0.5Wのものを4個配置した。
