Deep-red light-emitting magnesium fluoro-germanate fluoroescent body and method for producing same
View Patent ↗The deep red light-emitting magnesium fluorogermanate phosphor prepared by calcining a mixture comprising a fine magnesium oxide powder having a BET specific surface area in the range of 5-200 m 2 /g, a fluorine compound, a germanium compound and a manganese compound gives a light emission having a maximum peak of increased strength in the wavelength region of 640-680 nm upon excitation with a light having a wavelength of 400 nm.
1. A method for producing a deep red light-emitting magnesium fluorogermanate phosphor giving a light emission having a maximum peak in the wavelength region of 640-680 nm upon excitation with a light having a wavelength of 400 nm which comprises calcining a mixture comprising magnesium oxide, a fluorine compound, a germanium compound and a manganese compound, wherein the magnesium oxide is in the form of a fine powder having a BET specific surface area in the range of 5-200 m 2 /g.
2. The method of claim 1 in which the magnesium oxide in the form of a fine powder comprises primary particles in the cubic form.
3. The method of claim 1 in which the magnesium oxide in the form of a fine powder has a purity of at least 99.9%.
