The parameter a ranges from about 0.5 to about 1.5; the parameter b ranges from about 0.8 to about 3.0; the parameter c ranges from about 3.5 to about 7.0; the parameter d ranges from about 0.1 to about 3.0; and the parameter e ranges from about 5.0 to about 11.0. A is at least one of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Zn; B (the letter) is at least one of B (boron), Al, Ga, and In; C (the letter) is at least one of C (carbon), Si, Ge, and Sn; O is oxygen; N is nitrogen; and RE is at least one of Eu, Ce, Pr, Tb, and Mn.
Abstract:
The teachings are generally directed to phosphors having combination coatings with multifunctional characteristics that increase the performance and/or reliability of the phosphor. The teachings include highly reliable phosphors having coatings that contain more than one inorganic component, more than one layer, more than one thicknesses, more than one combination of layers or thicknesses, a gradient-interface between components, a primer thickness or layer to inhibit or prevent leaching of phosphor components into the coatings, a sealant layer to inhibit or prevent entry of moisture or oxygen from the environment, a mixed composition layer as a sealant and multifunctional combination coatings.
Abstract:
A coated phosphor comprises phosphor particles, wherein said phosphor particles comprise manganese-activated complex fluoride phosphors; and a coating on individual ones of said phosphor particles, said coating comprising a layer of carboxylic acid material encapsulating the individual phosphor particles.
