Abstract
In the context of the rapid advances in electronic information technology, the advancement of novel high-efficiency narrow-band blue phosphors represents a pivotal step in the advancement of high-quality liquid crystal displays (LCDs), as well as the development of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with a reduced correlated color temperature (CCT). In this study, based on the sensitivity of Eu2+ emission to local environment, the alkaline earth aluminate material CaAl12O19 with high structural symmetry was selected as the matrix, and the symmetry of crystal structure was improved by replacing Ca2+ with Sr2+, the narrow-band emission of the phosphor is realized. The Sr0.9Ca0.09Al12O19: 0.01Eu2+ (SCAO: Eu2+) phosphor exhibited narrow-band emission with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 45.76 nm, and the colour purity of up to 95.46 %. Moreover, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of SCAO: Eu2+ has been demonstrated to reach 81.70 %. In addition, SCAO: Eu2+ phosphor, (Ba, Sr)2SiO4: Eu2+ phosphor, CaAlSiN3: Eu2+ phosphor, and 275 nm UVLED chips were combined to prepare white LED devices exhibiting a low color temperature (3733 K). The three-band LEDs of SCAO: Eu2+, β-Sialon: Eu2+ and K2SiF6: Mn4+ exhibited a colour gamut covering 84.75 % of the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard. This indicates that the phosphor possesses the characteristics of a highly effective narrow-band blue-light-emitting substance with considerable potential for utilization in lighting and backlighting displays.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
