Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for producing surface-treated phosphor particles and a surface-treated phosphor particle. [Prior Art] The light-emitting element used in the phosphor may be an ultraviolet excitation light-emitting element (for example, a backlight for a liquid crystal display). (backlight), 3 - wavelength type fluorescent lamp, high load fluorescent lamp, etc., the excitation source is vacuum ultraviolet ray (vacuum ultraviolet ray) Ultraviolet Ray luminescent element ) (for example, a plasma display panel 'rare gas lamp, etc.'), the excitation source is a blue LED (light luminescent diode) or an ultraviolet LED a white LED that emits light, an excitation beam is an electron beam excitation luminescent element (for example, a cathode ray tube (Braun tube), a field emission display (fie 1 d em issi ο η display) Surface electric field display Or the like, the excitation source is an X-ray light-emitting element (such as an X-ray pick-up camera). The phosphor is a person who emits light by irradiation with an excitation source as described above. In general, -5-201109422, regarding the characteristics of luminance, chromaticity, durability, electrification characteristics, particle size, etc., an appropriate phosphor is selected in accordance with the environment to be used. For example, a blue phosphor that emits an ultraviolet-ray-excited light-emitting element or a vacuum ultraviolet-excited light-emitting element is known as BaMgAl1Q017: Eu2+ (commonly known as BAM), or 〇3^^5丨206: £112+ (commonly known as ^^) 5). For green phosphors, LaP04 : Ce3+, Tb3 + or Zn2Si04 : Mn2+ is known, and red phosphors are known to have Y2〇3: Eu3+ or (Y, Gd) B〇3: Eu3, such as this When the light body is used on a device such as a display, usually, the phosphor particles are mixed with a solvent or a binder to prepare a slurry or a paste, and this is The phosphor layer is formed by coating or printing on a portion to be a light-emitting surface of a substrate or the like, and then drying or heating to remove a solvent or a binder. When the device is manufactured in this manner, the brightness of the phosphor may be lowered because the phosphor will suffer from thermal hysteresis. Such a phenomenon is generally called "burning deterioration" of a phosphor. In addition, when the device is used for a long period of time (lighting), there is a possibility that the luminance of the incident fluorescent light that continues to receive high-energy ultraviolet rays, vacuum ultraviolet rays, or the like, or the luminescent color of the fluorescent body (light-emitting wavelength) The situation of change. These phenomena are generally caused by long-term deterioration of the phosphor, life problems, and the like. For the purpose of the deterioration of the phosphor, for example, a method of coating the surface of the phosphor particles with a material having excellent durability (for example, -6 - 201109422, refer to Patent Documents 1 to 5). The material used for the coating is, for example, a nitride, a fluoride, a carbonate, a compound oxide, an organic substance or the like in addition to a simple oxide such as ai2o3 or SiO2.

Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-82 No. 2003-52 No. 2007-52-8426. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is applied to a material which is excellent in durability as described above. The method of the surface of the phosphor particles can also achieve a certain degree of effect regarding the deterioration of the phosphor or the problem of the lifetime. However, there is a problem that the initial brightness of the phosphor particles is lowered due to the influence of heating or the like required when the phosphor particles are coated with various materials. Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to maintain the initial luminance at a very high level and to sufficiently suppress the deterioration of the luminance caused by the thermal history which is suffered at the stage of manufacturing various devices using the phosphor particles. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for producing a surface-treated 201109422 phosphor particle, which comprises: providing an aqueous solution containing barium (La) and containing phosphoric acid The aqueous solution is mixed in the dispersion liquid in the presence of the phosphor particles to form a surface-treated phosphor particle having the phosphor particles and the yttrium phosphate adhered to the surface. In the dispersion liquid, yttrium phosphate is formed by a co-precipitation reaction, and strontium phosphate is attached to the surface of the phosphor particles, and the surface-treated luminescent particles can be produced without performing a baking treatment. . Therefore, the initial luminance of the phosphor particles can be maintained at a very high level. Further, by using the surface-treated phosphor particles, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the decrease in luminance due to the heat history which is suffered at the stage of manufacturing various devices having the phosphor particles. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the phosphor particles preferably contain a phosphor which can be represented by (Ba|.x-zSrxEuz) MgAll0O17 (X conforms to 0$X$0.5, z corresponds to 0.01 SzS0.2), and can be ( Cai.y.zSryEuz) MgSi206 (y conforms to OSygl, Z conforms to O.OOlSzSO.l, and y + zgl) represents a phosphor, or may be represented by (Zn2-wMnw) Si04 (w in accordance with O.OOlSw S 0.1) Fluorescent body. When the phosphor particles contain BaMgAl1() 017: Eu2+, there is a problem that needs to be improved particularly in the case of firing deterioration and long-term deterioration of the phosphor. On the other hand, when the phosphor particles contain a phosphor which can be represented by Cai-ySryMgSi206: Eu2+ (y represents a number from 0 to 1,), a so-called temperature quenching problem easily occurs. When a light-emitting device is used for lighting, the temperature of the device rises due to incident energy or heat generation of the electronic circuit, and the temperature of the phosphor also rises, so that the brightness can be lowered by -8 - 201109422. Such a phenomenon is generally called a temperature quenching effect, and is a cause of a change in tinting of a display or illumination. When the bulk particles contain a phosphor which can be represented by Zn2Si04: Mn2+, the decrease in luminance is likely to be a problem. This issue is also useful for avoiding such problems. In the production method of the present invention, it is preferable to further provide that the process of recovering the surface-treated phosphor particles from the dispersion liquid by the processed phosphor particles not being heated to 200 ° C or higher is not utilized The method of heating to a temperature above 200 ° C, and recovering the surface-treated phosphor particles, can pass the phosphor particles without being subjected to firing at, for example, about 300 to 600 ° C. For the manufacture of the device, etc. As a result, the initial luminance of the phosphor particles can be prevented from being lowered. Further, the present invention provides a surface-treated phosphor particle: comprising: a phosphor particle, and an aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid in water in the presence of phosphor particles to be attached to the firefly Barium phosphate on the surface of the light body particles. The use of the surface-treated phosphor of the present invention described above maintains the initial luminance at a very high level and sufficiently suppresses the deterioration of the thermal history suffered at the stage of various devices of the toner particles. Preferably, the particles in the surface-treated phosphor particles of the present invention contain a phosphor which can be represented by (Bai-x_zSrxEuz) MgAli〇〇i7 SxS0.5 and z in accordance with O.OlSzSO.2). For example, if it is fluorescent, it can be made from a surface-based method, and the surface of the dispersion can be treated with a special solution at a high temperature, and the special solution and the inclusion method can cause the particles to be bright.

In the surface-treated phosphor particles of the present invention, the mass ratio of barium phosphate based on the mass of the phosphor particles is preferably 0.01 to 5% by mass. When the mass of the strontium phosphate is increased, the mass ratio of the phosphor particles is lowered, and the relative luminance is lowered. Therefore, the mass ratio of the strontium phosphate based on the mass of the phosphor particles is preferably range. [Effects of the Invention] According to the method for producing a surface-treated phosphor particle of the present invention, yttrium phosphate is formed by the coprecipitation reaction and adheres to the surface of the phosphor particle, and the firing treatment is not performed. The surface treated phosphor particles can then be produced. Therefore, the initial luminance of the phosphor particles can be maintained at a very high level. Further, by using the surface-treated phosphor particles, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the decrease in luminance due to the heat history which is suffered in the stage of manufacturing various devices having the phosphor particles. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the invention will be described in detail. However, the invention is not limited by the embodiments described below. In the production method of the present embodiment, the dispersion liquid obtained by mixing the aqueous solution containing ruthenium and the aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid in the presence of the phosphor particles -10-201109422 is formed to have phosphor particles and adhere thereto. The process of surface-treated phosphor particles on the surface of the strontium phosphate and the process of recovering the surface-treated phosphor particles from the dispersion. The phosphor constituting the phosphor particles is not particularly limited, but BaMgAl1Q017: Eu2+ is suitably used from the viewpoint of improving the deterioration of firing. On the other hand, it is suitable to use CahySryMgShOe : Eu2+ (y represents 0 to 1) from the viewpoint of improving the temperature extinction effect. In addition, in a backlight device for a liquid crystal display, which is a main use of a phosphor, a device that generates ultraviolet rays as an excitation source by a pump, deterioration due to mercury adsorption of the phosphor is a cause of low brightness. . Since strontium phosphate also has an effect of hindering the adsorption of mercury, from this viewpoint, Zn2Si04 : Μ]ι 2+ is particularly suitable. Further, BaMgAll0O17: Eu2+ and 〇31·ySryMgSi206: Eu2+ (y represents 0 to 1) are also suitable for use. The same effect can be obtained by substituting a part of Ba of BaMgAl10O17: Eu2+ for Sr 2Bai. xSrxMgAli〇〇i7: Eu2+ (x represents 0 to 0.5). The method for producing the phosphor particles is not particularly limited. In addition to the general solid-phase reaction method, the coprecipitation method, the sol-gel method, and the water may be used. Hydrothermal method, etc. In the most general solid phase reaction method, an oxide, a carbonate, a hydroxide, or the like, which contains a metal element constituting a phosphor, is used as a raw material, and a molar ratio which can be a phosphor of a target composition is used. In the same manner, the weight is weighed, and these are mixed, pulverized, and fired. In the case of the blue phosphor BaMgAllc017: Eu2+, for example, -11 - 201109422 'Use BaC03, 3MgC03·Mg(OH) 2, Al2〇3, and Eu2〇3 as raw materials, and use this as Ba: Mg : Al: Eu=l_z: i: · z is the weight of the ear. Here, z represents the ratio of the substitution of Ba to the Eu, and in general, 2 = 〇〇1 to 〇2. The desired phosphor can be obtained by mixing the raw materials of the weighed weight and then firing in a hydrogen-containing reducing atmosphere of about 14 °C.

For the surface of the phosphor particles, strontium phosphate is mainly attached, but other materials may be used if necessary. When an aqueous solution containing cerium is mixed with an aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid, cerium phosphate is formed by the coprecipitation reaction. When the coprecipitation reaction is carried out in the presence of phosphor particles, the generated strontium phosphate adheres to the surface of the phosphor particles to form surface-treated phosphor particles. In this case, it is not necessary for the surface of the phosphor particles to be completely covered with yttrium phosphate, or a part of the surface of the luminescence particle itself may be exposed. The aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid contains water and a pity acid -12-201109422 (H3P04) or a salt thereof dissolved in water. Further, the aqueous solution can be adjusted to pH 氨 by ammonia or the like. As the salt of phosphoric acid, for example, ammonium phosphate ((NH4) 2HP04) can be used. If such an aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid or phosphate is used, the incorporation of other metal ions can be suppressed. The phosphorus concentration of the aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid is preferably 0.001 mol/mol to 0.1 mol/liter, more preferably 0.005 mol/liter to 0.05 mol/liter, and particularly preferably o. oimol/liter. If the concentration is too high, there is a tendency that the phosphor is dissolved by the acid or the particles of the produced strontium phosphate are aggregated. If the concentration is too low, there is a tendency that the strontium phosphate is hard to adhere to the surface of the phosphor particles. For example, in this aqueous solution containing cesium phosphoric acid, the phosphor particles are dispersed to prepare a dispersion, and an aqueous solution containing ruthenium is added thereto. The amount of the phosphor particles in the dispersion is not particularly limited, but 1 liter of the aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid is preferably 10 g to 10 Å, 〇〇〇 g, more preferably 1 〇〇 g to 1 〇〇. 〇g degree. The amount is adjusted to the optimum amount according to the specific gravity and particle diameter of the phosphor particles. It is preferable that the phosphor particles are substantially not deposited in the dispersion liquid insofar as the bismuth phosphite can be attached to the surface of the phosphor particles. For this reason, in the coprecipitation reaction, it is preferred to continue stirring the dispersion using a stirring bar, a magnetic stirrer or the like. An aqueous solution containing ruthenium, for example, can be obtained by dissolving a ruthenium compound such as lanthanum nitrate (La(N03)3) or lanthanum acetate (La(CH3COO)3) in water. The cerium concentration of the aqueous solution containing cerium is preferably 〇.〇〇lm〇l/liter to 0.1 mol/liter, more preferably 〇.0〇5 m〇i/liter to 0.05 m〇丨/liter, particularly preferably O.Olmol / liter degree" The rate at which the aqueous solution containing cerium is added to the dispersion containing phosphoric acid -13,094,044, the optimum conditions of the solution may vary depending on the concentration or temperature of the solution, and is not particularly limited. In the range of O.O00lmol/min to O.Omolol/min. The ratio of bismuth to phosphoric acid can be stoichiometric ratio of La: P = l: 1, but it can also prevent unreacted strontium ions from leaking out or recovering the original strontium salt, or can be made as La: P = 1 : The mode of 3 is implemented under excess phosphorus conditions. Since unreacted phosphorus is easily removed by washing, it is easy to remove. The method of mixing an aqueous solution containing cerium and an aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid in the presence of phosphor particles to obtain a dispersion is not particularly limited to dispersing the phosphor particles in an aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid as described above. Thereafter, a method of adding an aqueous solution containing hydrazine is added. Alternatively, the phosphor particles may be dispersed in an aqueous solution containing cerium, and then an aqueous solution containing phosphoric acid may be added thereto. Since the formation of cesium phosphate caused by the mixing is completed in a momentary manner even at room temperature, no special heating operation is required. However, in order to completely complete the reaction, or to control the particle size or crystallinity of the produced strontium phosphate, the solution may be heated at any time before (mixing, mixing or after mixing) before and after mixing. In this case, the temperature is below the boiling point of the liquid, and in the case of the aqueous solution, it is about 100 ° C or lower, preferably 70 to 90 ° C. The surface-treated phosphor particles generated in the dispersion are taken out by filtration or the like, and the surface-treated phosphor particles are removed by washing with pure water to remove excess portions. Then, the washed phosphor particles are dried by heating at 200 ° C or lower, preferably 60 to 120 ° C. According to this method, the surface-treated phosphor particles can be recovered from the dispersion without heating at -14 to 201109422 of 200 ° C or higher. When the surface-treated phosphor particles are aggregated by drying, shredding may be performed. The amount of the barium phosphate deposited on the surface of the phosphor particles is not particularly limited as long as it is obtained. It can be within the minimum required limit of the purpose of improving the characteristics. Since barium phosphate does not substantially absorb ultraviolet rays, it has little effect on the brightness caused by the adhesion of the surface of the phosphor particles. However, when the amount of yttrium phosphate which is itself a non-luminescent material is increased, the volume fraction of the phosphor particles is lowered, so that the relative brightness tends to decrease. From the viewpoint of the above, the amount of the yttrium phosphate is preferably from 0.01 to 5% by mass, more preferably from 0.1 to 1% by mass, based on the mass of the phosphor particles. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples. However, the invention is not limited by the following examples. In the present embodiment, in order to measure the brightness of the phosphor particles, a spectrophotometer FP-6500 (product name, manufactured by JASCO Corporation) was used. For the production of blue phosphor BaMgAl1() 017: Eu2 + , BaC03 , 3MgC03 · Mg ( OH ) 2, A1203 and Eu203 are used as raw materials, and these can be used as Ba in terms of molar ratio. : Mg : A1 : Eu=l to 0·1 : 1 : 1〇: Weigh the weight by 0.1. Here, 0.1 represents a ratio in which a part of Ba is substituted with Ell. After the weighed raw materials were mixed and fired at a hydrogen-containing reducing atmosphere of about 1,400 °C, -15-201109422 was used as the target phosphor particles. (Example 1) As an aqueous solution containing phosphorus, an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (Η 3 P 0 4 ) was used, and as an aqueous solution containing cerium, an aqueous solution of lanthanum nitrate (La ( Ν03 ) 3 ) was used. To a solution of 0.01 Torr (mole) of phosphoric acid in 37.5 ml, BaMgAl1C) 〇17: Eu2 + 5.0 g, which is itself a blue phosphor particle, was added under stirring to prepare a slurry-like dispersion. To the dispersion, a 0.01 Torr La ( Ν Ο 3 ) 3 aqueous solution of 1 2 · 5 m 1 ' was dropped and the liquid temperature was raised to 7 5 to complete the coprecipitation reaction. Then, the slurry (dispersion) was filtered, and the taken solid component was washed with water (50 ml x 3 times). The solid component after washing was heated at 120 ° C for 1 hour to be dried, and was shredded with agate mortar to obtain 0.2% by mass of the surface of the phosphor particles. Surface treated phosphor particles of barium phosphate (LaP04). (Example 2) Into 37.5 ml of a 0.01 M aqueous phosphoric acid solution, 12.5 g of blue phosphor particles BaMgAl1Q〇17: Eu2+ was added under stirring to prepare a slurry-like dispersion. To the dispersion, 12.5 ml of a water solution of 0 · 0 1 Torr of L a ( Ν Ο 3 ) 3 was added dropwise, and the temperature of the liquid was raised to 75 t, and then the coprecipitation reaction was completed. Then, the slurry (dispersion) was filtered, and the taken solid component was washed with water (50 ml X 3 times). The solid component after washing was heated at 120 ° C for 1 hour to dry it, and the agate was shredded with agate -16-16-201109422, and the surface of the phosphor particles was attached. 5 mass% Surface treated phosphor particles of barium phosphate (LaP04). (Example 3) BaMgAl1() 017: Eu2+ 4.0 g, which is a blue phosphor particle itself, was added to 60. Oml of a 0.01 M aqueous phosphoric acid solution under stirring to prepare a slurry-like dispersion. To the dispersion, 0.01 M of a La(N03) 3 aqueous solution of 20. 0 ml was dropped, and the temperature of the liquid was raised to 75 ° C to complete the coprecipitation reaction. Then, the slurry (dispersion) was filtered, and the taken solid component was washed with water (50 ml X 3 times). The solid component after washing with water was heated at 1 to 20 ° C for 1 hour to be dried, and was shredded with agate crucible to obtain a cerium phosphate adhered to the surface of the phosphor particles. LaP04) surface treated phosphor particles. (Evaluation of Change in Luminance by Heat Treatment) The surface-treated phosphor particles obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and the non-surface-treated phosphor particles were heat-treated at 600 ° C, and were measured before and after heat treatment. The brightness of each of the phosphor particles at room temperature (the relative luminance of the untreated surface-treated phosphor particles before the heat treatment is taken as 100 Å). The results are shown in Table 1. -17- 201109422 [Table 1] Barium Phosphate Adsorption Treatment Temperature Brightness Example 1 0.2% by mass 102.6 600 ° C before heat treatment 101.1 Example 2 0.5% by mass 102.0 600 ° C before heat treatment 101.4 Example 3 1.0% by mass 102.0 before heat treatment 600. . 101.7 Comparative Example (without surface treatment) 0% 100.0 600 °C before heat treatment 96.0 (without surface treatment and heat treatment before 100.0) As shown in Table 1, the surface treated phosphor particles are not treated before heat treatment. Compared with the surface-treated phosphor particles, it is apparent that the existing high brightness is obtained, and after the heat treatment at 600 ° C, the brightness is extremely low. From this, it was confirmed that the use of the surface-treated phosphor particles can sufficiently suppress the fact that the brightness caused by the heat history at the stage of manufacturing various devices using the phosphor particles is low. On the other hand, in the case of the phosphor particles which are not surface-treated, the brightness thereof is relatively large after the heat treatment. (temperature dependency evaluation) The surface-treated phosphor particles obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and the non-surface-treated phosphor particles were heated from room temperature (25 ° C). To 100 ° C, and measure the change in brightness of each phosphor granule at that time. The results are shown in Table 2. Fig. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the luminance and temperature of each of the phosphor particles of Example 2 and Comparative Example (not treated by Surface-18-201109422) [Table 2] Surface adhesion amount processing Temperature brightness implementation Example 1 0.2% by mass 25〇C 100.0 100°C 96.7 Example 2 0.5% by mass 25〇C 100.0 10 (TC 97.1 Example 3 1.0% by mass 25〇C 100.0 100°C 96.1 Comparative example (without surface treatment) 0 % 25〇C 100.0 100°C 94.4 (with brightness at 2 5 °C as 1 00·0) As shown in Table 2 and Figure 1, the surface treated phosphor particles are unsurfaced. In comparison with the treated phosphor particles, the case where the temperature rises from room temperature to 100 ° C is apparently small. Fig. 2 shows the surface-treated phosphor particles obtained in Example 2 ( An electron micrograph of the surface adhesion amount of 0.5% by mass. It can also be confirmed from the second figure that yttrium phosphate adheres to the surface of the phosphor particles. [Industrial Applicability] If the surface treatment is used in the present invention A method for producing a phosphor particle, which generates phosphorus due to a coprecipitation reaction As a result of adhering to the surface of the phosphor particles, the surface-treated phosphor particles can be produced without performing the firing treatment. Therefore, the initial luminance of the phosphor particles can be maintained at -19- 201109422 Very high level. In addition, if the surface-treated phosphor particles are used, the brightness caused by the heat history at the stage of manufacturing various devices with phosphor particles can be sufficiently suppressed.
