Abstract

The present invention provides a phosphor blend for wavelength conversion and a white light emitting device using the phosphor blend. Further disclosed is a white light emitting phosphor blend comprising 0.5˜18 wt % of A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ (where A is at least one element selected from Sr, Ca, Ba and Mg), 0.7˜14 wt of D 2 SiO 4 :Eu (where D is at least one element selected from Ba, Sr and Ca), and 68˜98.5 wt % of G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm (where G is at least one element selected from Li, Na and K; and s is a number between 1 and 5), based on the total weight of the phosphor blend.

Claims (12)

1. A phosphor blend whose CIE color coordinates are located inside a triangular area on a CIE chromaticity coordinate system whose angular points (0.15, 0.03), (0.19, 0.63) and (0.67, 0.33), and which comprises three phosphor materials represented by the formulae A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ (where A is at least one element selected from Sr, Ca, Ba and Mg), D 2 SiO 4 :Eu (where D is at least one element selected from Ba, Sr and Ca) and G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm (where G is at least one element selected from Li, Na and K; and s is a number between 1 and 5).

2. A white light emitting phosphor blend comprising 0.5˜18 wt % of A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ (where A is at least one element selected from Sr, Ca, Ba and Mg), 0.7˜14 wt of D 2 SiO 4 :Eu (where D is at least one element selected from Ba, Sr and Ca), and 68˜98.5 wt % of G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm (where G is at least one element selected from Li, Na and K; and s is a number between 1 and 5), based on the total weight of the phosphor blend.

3. The white light emitting phosphor blend according to claim 2 , wherein the phosphores A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm are present in amounts of 1˜9 wt %, 1.5˜7 wt %, and 84˜98.5 wt %, respectively.

4. The white light emitting phosphor blend according to claim 2 , wherein the phosphor blend emits output light having a high color rendering index of 75 or more against incident near-UV light.

5. The white light emitting phosphor blend according to claim 4 , wherein the phosphores A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm are present in amounts of 4.5˜7 wt %, 2˜3 wt %, and 89˜94.5 wt %, respectively.

6. A white light emitting device comprising:

a near-UV light emitting diode; and

a wavelength conversion section formed in a direction of light emitted from the light emitting diode, the wavelength conversion section including a white light emitting phosphor blend consisting of 0.5˜18 wt % of A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl: Eu 2+ (where A is at least one element selected from Sr, Ca, Ba and Mg), 0.7˜14 wt % of D 2 SiO 4 :Eu (where D is at least one element selected from Ba, Sr and Ca) and 68˜98.5% of G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm (where G is at least one element selected from Li, Na and K; and s is a number between 1 and 5), based on the total weight of the phosphor blend.

7. The white light emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the wavelength conversion section further includes a silicone or epoxy resin.

8. The white light emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the phosphores A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm are present in amounts of 1˜9 wt %, 1.5˜7 wt %, and 84˜98.5 wt %, respectively.

9. The white light emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the phosphor blend emits output light having a high color rendering index of 75 or more against incident near-UV light.

10. The white light emitting device according to claim 9 , wherein the phosphores A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and G 5 Eu S (WO 4 ) 2.5+1.5S :Sm are present in amounts of 4.5˜7 wt %, 2˜3 wt %, and 89˜94.5 wt %, respectively.
