Abstract

An electroluminescence device, including phosphor particles, which phosphor particles give donor-acceptor type luminescence, and have an average equivalent sphere diameter of 1.0 μm or more and 12.0 μm or less and a coefficient of variation of equivalent sphere diameters of 3% or more and 30% or less.

Claims (9)

1. An electroluminescence device, comprising a pair of electrodes, a dielectric layer, and a phosphor layer comprising phosphor particles,

wherein the dielectric layer and the phosphor layer are sandwiched between the electrodes, and

wherein the phosphor particles give donor-acceptor type luminescence, the phosphor particles having an average equivalent sphere diameter of 1.0 μm or more and 12.0 μm or less, a coefficient of variation of equivalent sphere diameters of 3% or more and 30% or less, and at least 30% or more in number of the phosphor particles having 10 or more stacking faults per particle.

2. The electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the phosphor particles is covered with a non-luminous shell having a thickness of 0.01 μm or more.

3. The electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 1 , which has a phosphor layer comprising the phosphor particles, and the phosphor-particle layer has a thickness of 2.0 μm or more and 25 μm or less.

4. The electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the electrodes is a transparent electrode.

5. An electroluminescence device, comprising phosphor particles, which phosphor particles give donor-acceptor type luminescence, and have an average equivalent sphere diameter of 1.0 μm or more and 12.0 μm or less and a coefficient of variation of equivalent sphere diameters of 3% or more and 30% or less; and at least 30% or more in number of the phosphor particles have 10 or more stacking faults per particle.

6. The electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the phosphor particles is covered with a non-luminous shell having a thickness of 0.01 μm or more.

7. The electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 5 , which has a phosphor layer comprising the phosphor particles, and the phosphor-particle layer has a thickness of 2.0 μm or more and 25 μm or less.
