Abstract

A lighting device is specified. The lighting device comprises a phosphor having the general molecular formula (MA) a (MB) b (MC) c (MD) d (TA) e (TB) f (TC) g (TD) h (TE) i (TF) j (XA) k (XB) l (XC) m (XD) n :E. In this case, MA is selected from a group of monovalent metals, MB is selected from a group of divalent metals, MC is selected from a group of trivalent metals, MD is selected from a group of tetravalent metals, TA is selected from a group of monovalent metals, TB is selected from a group of divalent metals, TC is selected from a group of trivalent metals, TD is selected from a group of tetravalent metals, TE is selected from a group of pentavalent elements, TF is selected from a group of hexavalent elements, XA is selected from a group of elements which comprises halogens, XB is selected from a group of elements which comprises O, S and combinations thereof, XC=N and XD=C and E=Eu, Ce, Yb and/or Mn. The following furthermore hold true: a+b+c+d=t; e+f+g+h+i+j=u; k+l+m+n=v; a+2b+3c+4d+e+2f+3g+4h+5i+6j−k−2l−3m−4n=w; 0.8≤t≤1; −3.5≤u≤4; 3.5≤v≤4; (−0.2)≤w≤0.2 and 0≤m<0.875 v and/or v≥1>0.125 v.

Claims (14)

1. A lighting device comprising a phosphor having the general molecular formula (MB)Li 3−2x** Al 1+2x** O 4-4x** N 4x** :E, wherein 0<x**<0.875, MB is selected from a group of divalent metals which comprises Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn and combinations thereof, and E is selected from a group which comprises Eu, Ce, Yb and combinations thereof.

2. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein 0.125≤x**<0.875.

3. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the phosphor has the formula SrLi 3-2x** Al 1+2x** O 4−4x** N 4x** :Eu, wherein 0<x**<0.875.

4. The lighting device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein 0.125≤x**<0.875.

5. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the phosphor crystallizes in a tetragonal crystal system.

6. The lighting device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the phosphor crystallizes in the space group I4/m.

7. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lighting device is a conversion light-emitting diode comprising:

a primary radiation source configured to emit an electromagnetic primary radiation during operation of the diode,

a conversion element comprising the phosphor, said conversion element being arranged in the beam path of the electromagnetic primary radiation, wherein the phosphor is configured at least partly to convert the electromagnetic primary radiation into an electromagnetic secondary radiation during operation of the lighting device.

8. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein MB is selected from a group consisting of Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, and combinations thereof.

9. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein E is Eu.

10. A lighting device comprising a phosphor having the general molecular formula (MB)Li 3−2x** Al 1+2x** O 4−4x** N 4x** :Eu, wherein 0<x**<0.875, MB is selected from a group of divalent metals which comprises Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn and combinations thereof.

11. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the phosphor emits a secondary radiation in the blue to blue-green spectral range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

12. The lighting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the phosphor emits a secondary radiation in the blue to green-yellow spectral range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
