Abstract

A method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles including the steps of producing a powder containing europium and strontium from a solution containing a europium compound and a strontium compound, mixing the resulting powder and a powdered gallium compound, and performing firing.

Claims (27)

1. A method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles comprising the steps of:

producing a (Sr,Eu)SO 3 powder containing europium and strontium from a solution containing a europium compound, a strontium compound, and a sulfur compound;

mixing the resulting powder and a powdered gallium compound; and

performing firing,

wherein the green-emitting phosphor articles comprise Sr 1-x Ga 2 S 4 :Eu x (where 0.10≦x≦0.20) and

the value of (internal quantum efficiency/absorption efficiency) is 0.7 or more.

2. The method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles according to claim 1 ,

wherein the (Sr,Eu)SO 3 powder is produced by dropping a sulfite into the solution containing a europium compound and a strontium compound.

3. The method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mixing of the powder and the powdered gallium compound is performed by using a ball mill.

4. A method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles comprising the steps of:

producing a (Sr,Eu)SO 3 powder by

adding a powdered gallium compound to a solution containing a europium compound, a strontium compound, and a sulfur compound, and

adding a salt to precipitate the europium compound and the strontium compound; and

firing the resulting powder,

wherein the green-emitting phosphor particles comprise Sr 1-x Ga 2 S 4 :Eu x (where 0.10≦x≦0.20) and

the value of (internal quantum efficiency/absorption efficiency) is 0.7 or more.

5. The method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles according to claim 4 ,

wherein the (Sr,Eu)SO 3 powder is produced by

adding the powdered gallium compound to the solution containing a europium compound and a strontium compound and

dropping a sulfite.

6. The method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles according to claim 1 ,

wherein the firing is performed in a hydrogen sulfide gas atmosphere.

7. The method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles according to claim 2 ,

wherein the mixing of the powder and the powdered gallium compound is performed by using a ball mill.

8. The method for manufacturing green-emitting phosphor particles according to claim 4 ,

wherein the firing is performed in a hydrogen sulfide gas atmosphere.
