Abstract

The present invention relates to phosphor blend for wavelength conversion and a white light emitting device using the same. The phosphor blend of the invention comprises three phosphors, A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu and MS:Eu at a composition where near ultraviolet radiation is converted into light positioned at a CIE coordinate (x, y), where 0.25≦x≦0.45 and 0.25≦y≦0.43, wherein A comprises at least one of Sr, Ca, Ba, and Mg, D comprises at least one of Ba, Sr, and Ca, and M comprises at least one of Sr and Ca. Furthermore, the present invention provides a new white light emitting device in combination of the phosphor blend and a near ultraviolet LED.

Claims (11)

1. White light emitting phosphor blend comprising three phosphors, A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and MS:Eu, wherein A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ is contained in an amount of more than 70 up to 83 wt %, D 2 SiO 4 :Eu is contained in an amount of 13 to 27 wt %, and MS:Eu is contained in an amount of 3 to 7 wt %, wherein A comprises at least one of Sr, Ca, Ba, and Mg, D comprises at least one of Ba, Sr, and Ca, and M comprises at least one of Sr and Ca, wherein an output light has a color rendering index of 90 or more.

2. A white light emitting device comprising:

a light emitting diode (LED) for emitting near ultraviolet radiation; and

a wavelength converting part placed in the light emission direction of the LED and having white light emitting phosphor blend and curing resin wherein the white light emitting phosphor comprises three phosphors, A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and MS:Eu, wherein A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ is contained in an amount of more than 70 up to 83 wt %, D 2 SiO 4 :Eu is contained in an amount of 13 to 27 wt %, and MS:Eu is contained in an amount of 3 to 7 wt %, wherein A comprises at least one from Sr, Ca, Ba and Mg, D comprises Ba, Sr and Ca, and M comprises at least one of Sr and Ca, wherein an output light has a color rendering index of 90 or more.

3. The white light emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein the near ultraviolet LED emits radiation having a wavelength of 300 to 450 nm.

4. The white light emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein the curing resin comprises silicon or epoxy resin.

5. A white light emitting device comprising:

a light emitting diode (LED) for emitting near ultraviolet radiation; and

a wavelength converting part placed in the light emission direction of the LED and having white light emitting phosphor blend and curing resin wherein the white light emitting phosphor comprises three phosphors, A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ , D 2 SiO 4 :Eu, and MS:Eu, wherein A 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl:Eu 2+ is contained in an amount of more than 70 wt %, D 2 SiO 4 :Eu is contained in an amount of 13 to 27 wt %, and MS:Eu is contained in an amount of 3 to 7 wt %, wherein A comprises at least one from Sr, Ca, Ba and Mg, D comprises Ba, Sr and Ca, and M comprises at least one of Sr and Ca, wherein an output light has a color rendering index of 90 or more.

6. The white light emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the near ultraviolet LED emits radiation having a wavelength of 300 to 450 nm.

7. The white light emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the curing resin comprises silicon or epoxy resin.
