Abstract

A phosphor comprising: a chemical composition expressed by the following formula (K 1-p , M p ) a (Si 1-y , Mn y )F b (M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Na and Ca, and p satisfies 0≤p≤0.01, a satisfies 1.5≤a≤2.5, b satisfies 5.5≤b≤6.5, and y satisfies 0<y≤0.1), Wherein the phosphor satisfies I (2,500-3,000)/I (1,200-1,240)<0.04, when I (1,200-1,240) is an intensity of a highest peak in a range of 1,200-1,240 cm −1 and I (2,500-3,000) is an intensity of a highest peak in a range of 2,500-3,000 cm −1 in an infrared spectrum.

Claims (17)

1. A phosphor comprising:

a chemical composition expressed by the following formula
