Abstract

A fluoride phosphor including a sheet-like crystal and a manufacturing method and an application therefore are disclosed. The fluoride phosphor has a chemical formula A 2 [MF 6 ]:Mn 4+ , with Mn 4+ as an activator. The A is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH4 or a combination thereof. The M is Ge, Si, Sn, Ti, Zr or a combination thereof. The sheet-like crystal has a thickness d. A crystal flat surface of the sheet-like crystal has a maximum length a. The maximum length a is defined as a distance between two end points on an edge of the crystal flat surface and farthest from each other. 8≤a/d≤35.

Claims (9)

1. A wavelength converting material, comprising a fluoride phosphor powder

with a Mn 4+ as an activator, wherein the fluoride phosphor powder with the Mn 4+ as the activator comprises a sheet-like crystal which has a chemical formula of A 2 [MF 6 ]:Mn 4+ , wherein the A is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH4, or a combination thereof, and the M is Ge, Si, Sn, Ti, Zr, or a combination thereof, the sheet-like crystal has a thickness d, a crystal flat surface of the sheet-like crystal has a maximum length a, wherein the maximum length a is defined as a distance between two end points on an edge of the crystal flat surface and farthest from each other, and 8≤a/d≤35.

2. The wavelength converting material according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoride phosphor powder with the Mn 4+ as the activator emits a red light having a peak wavelength in a range of 600 nm-650 nm after being excited by a light having a peak wavelength in a range of 300 nm-470 nm.

3. The wavelength converting material according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoride phosphor powder with the Mn 4+ as the activator has a chemical formula of K 2 [TiF 6 ]:Mn 4+ .

4. The wavelength converting material according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet-like crystal comprises two the crystal flat surface substantially parallel to each other, the two crystal flat surfaces have the thickness d therebetween, and one of the two crystal flat surfaces has the maximum length a.

5. The wavelength converting material according to claim 1 , wherein the crystal flat surface of the sheet-like crystal is perpendicular to a thickness direction, a=5-200 um.

6. The wavelength converting material according to claim 1 , wherein the crystal flat surface is a polygonal crystal flat surface.

7. A light emitting device, comprising:

a light emitting diode chip; and a wavelength converting material being capable of being excited by a first light emitted from the light emitting diode chip to emit a second light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the first light, wherein the wavelength converting material comprises a fluoride phosphor powder with a Mn 4+ as an activator, the fluoride phosphor powder with the Mn 4+ as the activator comprises a sheet-like crystal which has a chemical formula of A 2 [MF 6 ]:Mn 4+ , wherein the A is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH4, or a combination thereof, and the M is Ge, Si, Sn, Ti, Zr, or a combination thereof, the sheet-like crystal has a thickness d, a crystal flat surface of the sheet-like crystal has a maximum length a, wherein the maximum length a is defined as a distance between two end points on an edge of the crystal flat surface and farthest from each other, and 8≤a/d≤35.
