Abstract

A light emitting device includes a light emitting element adapted to emit blue light, quantum dots that absorb part of the blue light emitted from the light emitting element to emit green light, and at least one of a KSF phosphor adapted to absorb part of the blue light emitted from the light emitting element to emit red light and a MGF phosphor adapted to absorb part of the blue light emitted from the light emitting element to emit red light.

Claims (17)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a light emitting element adapted to emit blue light;

a plurality of green quantum dots adapted to absorb a portion of the blue light emitted from the light emitting element to emit green light;

a sealing resin covering the light emitting element;

a green quantum dot-containing layer disposed outside the sealing resin and spaced apart from the sealing resin, the green quantum dot-containing layer including a light-transmissive material and the plurality of green quantum dots, and

a red phosphor adapted to absorb a portion of the blue light emitted from the light emitting element to emit a red light, the red phosphor is a MGF phosphor, or a combination of a KSF phosphor and the MGF phosphor, wherein

the KSF phosphor is a compound having the chemical formula:

A 2 [M 1-a Mn 4+ a F 6 ]  (1)

where A is at least one selected from the group consisting of K + , Li + , N + , Rb + , Cs + , and NH 4 + , M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Group 4 elements and Group 14 elements, and 0<a<0.2; and

the MGF phosphor is a compound having the chemical formula:

( x−a )MgO.( a/ 2)Sc 2 O 3 .y MgF 2 .c CaF 2 .(1− b )GeO 2 .( b/ 2)Mt 2 O 3 :z Mn 4+   (2)

where 2.0≤x≤4.0, 0<y<1.5, 0<z<0.05, 0≤a<0.5, 0<b<0.5, 0≤c<1.5, y+c<1.5, and Mt is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Al, Ga, and In.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing resin includes a MGF phosphor, or a combination of a KSF phosphor and the MGF phosphor.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a light guide plate is disposed between the sealing resin and the quantum dot layer.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 3 , wherein the sealing resin is disposed facing one side surface of the light guide plate, and the quantum dot layer is disposed facing an upper surface of the light guide plate.

5. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the quantum dot layer is sheet-shaped.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the quantum dot layer includes a MGF phosphor, or a combination of a KSF phosphor and the MGF phosphor.
