【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、表示素子又は光源として点灯中に、何らかの原因で発光ダイオードが突然その発光を停止した場合でも、表示素子又は光源として発光を持続することができ、屋内や屋外、さらには水中などにおける表示又は光源用として利用できる蓄光性発光素子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、発光ダイオードは緑色ないし赤色を呈し、これを単体で又は複数個並べて1つの画素として組み合わせて光源やカラーディスプレイとして利用されており、近年、高効率の青色発光ダイオードが開発されるに至り、発光ダイオードを用いた大型のフルカラーディスプレイも実現している。
【0003】
ところで、これらの発光ダイオードを用いた光源やディスプレイにあっては、例えば、停電等による不慮の電源停止等のトラブルがあった場合、直ちにその発光が停止するため、当然のことながら、光源やディスプレイとしての機能が停止して支障を来すことが多い。そこで、発光素子としては点灯中、突然発光が停止しても、直ちには光源やディスプレイとしての機能が停止しないような蓄光性発光素子が求められている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、本発明は、光源やディスプレイに適した発光素子であって、発光ダイオードを有する発光素子が何かの原因で発光停止した場合でも、光源やディスプレイとしての機能を持続させることができる蓄光性発光素子を提供しようとするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、ある種の蛍光体は従来の発光ダイオードの発する発光光によって励起されて自らが発光し、励起源である発光ダイオードの発光が停止した後も、自らの発光を持続させることが可能な蛍光体(いわゆる、蓄光性蛍光体)が存在し、これらの蓄光性蛍光体と発光ダイオードとを組み合わせることによって上記課題が解消できることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。即ち、本発明の構成は下記のとおりである。
【0006】
(1) 近紫外域ないし可視光域に発光する発光ダイオードと、該発光ダイオードの発光光で励起されて瞬時発光し得る蓄光性蛍光体とを組み合わせた蓄光性発光素子であって、前記発光ダイオードの上に銅(Cu)付活硫化亜鉛系蛍光体、ユーロピウム(Eu)付活アルカリ土類硫化物系蛍光体、ユーロピウム(Eu)付活アルカリ土類アルミン酸塩系蛍光体、及び、ユーロピウム(Eu)付活アルカリ土類珪酸塩蛍光体の群から選択される1種以上の蓄光性蛍光体が塗布されてなり、該発光ダイオードの発光が停止した後も、自らの発光を持続させることが可能なことを特徴とする蓄光性発光素子。
【0007】
(2) 前記発光ダイオード上にキャップを備えたことを特徴とする上記(1)に記載の蓄光性発光素子。
【0008】
(3) 前記キャップが樹脂モールドであることを特徴とする上記(2)に記載の蓄光性発光素子。
(4) 前記キャップが半球状であることを特徴とする上記(2)又は(3)に記載の蓄光性発光素子。

本発明の蓄光性発光素子に用いる橙色〜赤色発光蛍光体は、組成式がCaS:Euで表されるユーロピウム付活硫化カルシウム蛍光体などを挙げることができる。
そして、得られる蓄光性発光素子の所望の発光色に対応して、上記蓄光性蛍光体の中の1種又は2種以上の蛍光体を適宜選択して発光ダイオードと組み合わせて用いることができる。

[0012]
The light emitting diode used in the phosphorescent light emitting device of the present invention preferably has an emission peak wavelength in the range of 400 to 500 nm. In general, since there is no phosphor excitation band in a wavelength region longer than 500 nm, even if the emission peak wavelength of the light emitting diode exists in such a wavelength region, it does not contribute to the instantaneous light emission of the phosphor, and is shorter than 400 nm. This is because light-emitting diodes that emit light in the wavelength region are difficult to manufacture.

[0014]
The green light-emitting phosphor used in the phosphorescent light-emitting device of the present invention has a composition formula of (Sr 1-m Mg m ) O · r (Al 1-n B n ) 2 O 3 : Eu, Dy (where m, n And r are 0 ≦ m ≦ 0.2, 0 ≦ n ≦ 0.2, 0.7 ≦ r ≦ 2.0), and europium-activated alkaline earth aluminate-based phosphor, composition Formula is mSrO · nMgO · 2SiO 2 : Eu, Dy, X (where X is one or more halogen elements selected from the group of F, Cl, Br and I, and m and n are 1.5 ≦ Europium-activated alkaline earth silicate phosphors represented by m ≦ 3.5 and 0.5 ≦ n ≦ 1.5), the composition formula is mSrO · nMgO · 2SiO 2 : Eu, Nd, X (provided that X is one or more halogen elements selected from the group of F, Cl, Br and I, and m and n are each 1.5 ≦ m ≦ 3.5 and 0.5 ≦ n ≦ 1.5), a europium-activated alkaline earth silicate phosphor, and a copper (Cu) -activated composition represented by ZnS: Cu, Cl Examples thereof include zinc sulfide phosphors.

Specifically, (Ga 1 -xy Al x, In y ) N (where x and y are numbers satisfying the conditions of 0 ≦ x ≦ 1 and 0 ≦ y ≦ 1), SiC, BN And one or more selected from the group of Zn (S, Se), and a light emitting diode whose emission spectrum has a peak wavelength of 400 to 500 nm is suitable.
