Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phosphor layer-forming solution which can be used for molding a three-dimensional phosphor layer that is thin and free from degradation of the phosphor by water, with good mass productivity and high dimensional accuracy. <P>SOLUTION: The phosphor layer-forming solution for a light emitting device comprises phosphor particles and an inorganic coat-forming solution. The phosphor layer-forming solution for a light emitting device adopts the inorganic coat-forming solution, because it has a low viscosity so that a large amount of phosphors can be incorporated into the phosphor layer-forming solution. As a result, the phosphor layer can have a thinner thickness, thereby avoiding a problem of color deviation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は、発光デバイス用の蛍光体を含む蛍光体層形成用液に関するものである。さらに詳しくは、本発明は、蛍光体粒子と無機系被膜形成液とを含む、上記蛍光体層形成用液に関する。   The present invention relates to a phosphor layer forming liquid containing a phosphor for a light emitting device. More specifically, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned liquid for forming a phosphor layer, comprising the phosphor particles and a liquid for forming an inorganic film.

従来、発光素子から放出された光を蛍光材料により波長変換し、所望の発光色を得ようとする発光デバイスが提案されている。例えば粒子状の蛍光体を分散させた樹脂製の封止部材(蛍光層)で発光素子を被覆した発光デバイスが特開2001−217466に提案されている。
また、樹脂の代わりに無機材料を用い、そこに蛍光体を分散させることが提案されている(同じく特開2001−217466、段落番号0015等参照)。
特開平11−204838では、固形ガラス層を形成する塗布型ガラス材料またはセラミック前駆体ポリマーに蛍光体を分散させ、発光素子上に蛍光体含有ガラス層を形成している。
さらに、特開2002−188085では、蛍光体粒子をポリオルガノシロキサンで被覆した蛍光体を作製し、疎水溶媒中でも分散性が優れるようにした蛍光体膜形成用塗布液も提案されている。
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a light emitting device has been proposed in which light emitted from a light emitting element is wavelength-converted by a fluorescent material to obtain a desired emission color. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-217466 proposes a light emitting device in which a light emitting element is covered with a resin sealing member (fluorescent layer) in which a particulate phosphor is dispersed.
Further, it has been proposed to use an inorganic material instead of a resin and disperse a phosphor therein (see also JP-A-2001-217466, paragraph 0015 and the like).
In JP-A-11-204838, a phosphor is dispersed in a coating type glass material or a ceramic precursor polymer for forming a solid glass layer, and a phosphor-containing glass layer is formed on a light emitting element.
Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-188085 proposes a coating liquid for forming a phosphor film, in which a phosphor in which phosphor particles are coated with a polyorganosiloxane is prepared so as to have excellent dispersibility even in a hydrophobic solvent.

特開2001−217466JP-A-2001-217466 特開平11−204838JP-A-11-204838 特開2002−188085JP-A-2002-188085

発光デバイス用蛍光体層を形成するために、従来から樹脂に蛍光体を配合したものが用いられてきた。蛍光体を樹脂に多量に配合すると蛍光体配合樹脂の粘度が高くなりすぎて加工性に不都合を生じるため、蛍光体の量を減らし、その代わりに蛍光体配合樹脂をデバイス上に厚く塗ることにより色相を合わせていた。しかし、この方法では樹脂層が厚いため部分的に光の通過距離に相違が生じ、色相のずれが生じやすいという問題があった。また、輝度を上げるため電流を多く流すと、それによる発熱により樹脂の劣化が促進されるという問題もあった。
特開2001−217466では、蛍光層を形成する樹脂には吸湿性があるので、水分による蛍光体の劣化回避が充分に行えなかった。
特開2001−217466において樹脂の代わりに無機材料を用いる場合及び特開平11−204838では蛍光体の耐環境性を上げる目的でガラス層中に蛍光体を混入させているため、ガラス層に混入できる蛍光体粒子の量は必然的に制限され、充分な蛍光を得るのに必要な蛍光体を確保するため、ガラス層が厚くなってしまう。
特開2002−188085ではこうしてできたその蛍光体粒子をさらに水及び/または有機溶媒に分散させ塗布液をつくるという、多くの工程を必要とする。さらに、これらの方法では3次元形状の蛍光体層を量産性良く、かつ高い寸法精度でモールド成形することは不可能であった。
In order to form a phosphor layer for a light emitting device, a resin in which a phosphor is blended has conventionally been used. If a large amount of phosphor is mixed with the resin, the viscosity of the phosphor-containing resin becomes too high, which causes inconvenience in processability.Thus, reduce the amount of phosphor and instead apply a thicker layer of the phosphor-containing resin on the device. Hue was matched. However, in this method, there is a problem that the thickness of the resin layer causes a partial difference in the light transmission distance, and a hue shift easily occurs. Further, when a large amount of current is applied to increase the luminance, there is a problem that the heat generated thereby accelerates the deterioration of the resin.
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-217466, the resin forming the fluorescent layer has a hygroscopic property, so that the deterioration of the phosphor due to moisture cannot be sufficiently avoided.
In JP-A-2001-217466, when an inorganic material is used instead of a resin, and in JP-A-11-204838, a phosphor is mixed in a glass layer for the purpose of improving the environmental resistance of the phosphor, so that the phosphor can be mixed in the glass layer. The amount of the phosphor particles is necessarily limited, and the glass layer becomes thick in order to secure the phosphor necessary to obtain sufficient fluorescence.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-188085 requires many steps of dispersing the phosphor particles thus formed in water and / or an organic solvent to prepare a coating solution. Furthermore, it is impossible with these methods to mold a three-dimensional phosphor layer with good mass productivity and high dimensional accuracy.

Alternatively, YVO 4 : Dy having a white emission color and CaLu 0.5 Dy 0.5 Ga 3 O 7 having a yellow emission color can be used.
When the wavelength of light from the light emitting element is so-called ultraviolet light of 400 nm or less, for example, ZnS: Cu, Al, (Zn, Cd) S: Cu, Al, ZnS: Cu, Au, Al, Y 2 SiO 6 : Tb (Zn, Cd) S: Cu, Gd 2 O 2 S: Tb, Y 2 O 2 S: Tb, Y 3 Al 5 O 12: Ce, (Zn, Cd) S: Ag, ZnS: Ag, Cu, Ga, Cl, Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Tb, Y 3 (Al, Ga) 6 O 12 : Tb, Zn 2 SiO 4 : Mn, LaPO 4 : Ce, Tb, Y 2 O 3 S: Eu, YVO 4 : Eu, ZnS: Mn, Y 2 O 3 : Eu, ZuS: Ag, ZnS: Ag, Al, (Sr, Ca, Ba, Mg) 10 (PO 4 ) 6 Cl 2 : Eu, Sr 10 (PO 4 ) 6 Cl 2 : Eu, (Ba, Sr, Eu) (Mg, Mn) Al 10 O 17 , (Ba, Eu) MgAl Any of 10 O 17 , ZnO: Zn, Y 2 SiO 5 : Ce, or two or more phosphors selected from these can be used in combination.
The particle size of these particles is not particularly limited, but is preferably on the order of 100 nm to 10 μm. Also, the shape of the particles is not particularly limited as long as it does not affect the fluidity of the phosphor layer forming liquid.

蛍光体層形成用液を上記を満たすものとすることで、この蛍光体層形成用液を用いて作製する蛍光体層は蛍光体の粒子自体を薄い透光性無機系連結層で連結し実質的に蛍光体粒子同士が連結するようになる。これにより蛍光体層中に蛍光体粒子が均一かつ密に充てんされた状態となり、単位体積当たりの蛍光体量が最大となる。よって薄い蛍光層によっても充分な蛍光を取り出すことが可能となり発光素子からの光を高い効率で波長変換できるとともに、蛍光の波長スペクトルも安定して色むら等の発生を未然に防止できる。さらに蛍光体層中の蛍光体粒子表面は透光性無機系連結層の薄い膜で全体が覆われており、保護膜の機能も同時に果たす。また、この蛍光体層形成用液は蛍光体粒子と液状加水分解重縮合物を混合するというだけで蛍光体粒子表面を前処理する必要もなく、容易に塗布液として使用することができる。
さらにはこの蛍光体層形成用液は蛍光体の占める割合が高くかつ流動性もあるため、モールド成形による蛍光体層の作製が可能となり、量産性良く、高い寸法精度で3次元形状の蛍光体層を得ることができる。すなわち、予めモールド成形によって蛍光体層を作製しておくと、これをデバイスにかぶせるだけで加工が済むため、生産性が改善すると共に、色相のばらつきも安定化するという利点がある。かかる態様で使用する場合、必要により、成形性を向上させるために、Al23、TiO2、SiO2粒子等の無機粒子を添加することができる。これらの粒子の粒径は100μm以下が好ましい。
なお、蛍光体の中には加水分解性のものもあるが、本発明に係る無機系被膜形成液の加水分解・重縮合物を脱水・脱アルコール処理を行ってから使用すれば、そのような蛍光体との併用が容易となる利点もある。
以上のように、本発明の蛍光体層形成用液は上述の従来の問題点をすべて解決するものである。
By making the phosphor layer forming solution satisfy the above, the phosphor layer produced using this phosphor layer forming solution is substantially formed by connecting the phosphor particles themselves with a thin translucent inorganic connection layer. As a result, the phosphor particles are connected to each other. Thereby, the phosphor layer is uniformly and densely filled in the phosphor layer, and the amount of the phosphor per unit volume is maximized. Therefore, a sufficient fluorescent light can be taken out even with a thin fluorescent layer, the wavelength of the light from the light emitting element can be converted with high efficiency, and the wavelength spectrum of the fluorescent light can be stably prevented to prevent the occurrence of color unevenness or the like. Further, the surface of the phosphor particles in the phosphor layer is entirely covered with a thin film of the light-transmitting inorganic connection layer, and simultaneously functions as a protective film. In addition, the phosphor layer forming liquid can be easily used as a coating liquid without mixing the phosphor particles and the liquid hydrolyzed polycondensate, thereby eliminating the need for pretreatment of the phosphor particle surfaces.
Further, since the phosphor layer forming liquid has a high ratio of the phosphor and has fluidity, the phosphor layer can be formed by molding, and the phosphor of the three-dimensional shape can be mass-produced with high dimensional accuracy. Layers can be obtained. In other words, if the phosphor layer is prepared in advance by molding, the process can be completed simply by covering the device with the phosphor layer, so that there is an advantage that productivity is improved and variation in hue is stabilized. When used in such an embodiment, if necessary, inorganic particles such as Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , and SiO 2 particles can be added to improve the moldability. The particle size of these particles is preferably 100 μm or less.
In addition, some of the phosphors are hydrolyzable, but if the hydrolyzate / polycondensate of the inorganic coating film forming solution according to the present invention is used after dehydration / dealcoholization treatment, such a phosphor is used. There is also an advantage that it can be easily used in combination with a phosphor.
As described above, the phosphor layer forming liquid of the present invention solves all of the conventional problems described above.

以下に例を挙げるが、それらは本発明の説明を目的とするものであって、本発明をこれらの態様に限定することを意図するものではない。
