摘要:
A method for preparing a specific zinc orthosilicate phosphor particle having a nonparticulate, conformal aluminum oxide coating wherein all of a manganese activator is present as manganese (II) and occupies zinc (II) sites includes the steps of blending a zinc source, a manganese (II) source, a silicon source, and a tungsten source in amounts in accordance with said formula with an amount of up to about 2 weight percent NH.sub.4 Cl and up to about 0.2 weight percent NH.sub.4 F to form a relatively uniform admixture, firing the mixture in a closed container under an inert non-oxidizing atmosphere to promote retention of manganese in the plus two valance state whereby oxidation of manganese to a higher valence state is avoided and conditions promote larger particle size formation; milling and washing the phosphor in an aqueous citric acid solution to remove unreacted manganese; rinsing, drying and sieving the dried phosphor; and depositing a continuous, nonparticulate, conformal aluminum oxide coating on the dried phosphor particle.

An improved aperture fluorescent reprographic lamp is disclosed. The lamp of the present invention includes an elongated envelope containing an ionizable medium including mercury and having electrodes at each end of the envelope: a reflector layer on a major portion of the inner surface of the envelope, a phosphor layer disposed on and coextensive with the reflector layer, and a protective coating over at least the portion of the inner surface of the lamp envelope not covered with the reflector layer. The phosphor layer comprises particles of green-emitting zinc orthosilicate phosphor which are individually coated with a non-particulate, conformal aluminum oxide coating.

A method for producing manganese activated zinc silicate phosphor wherein the individual phosphor particles are surrounded with a non-particulate, conformal aluminum oxide coating is disclosed. The method comprises dry blending a mixture of components consisting essentially of zinc oxide, silicic acid, a source of manganese, ammonium chloride, ammonium fluoride, tungstic oxide, and silica, wherein the Zn+Mn/Si mole ratio is from about 1.95 to about 2.02, wherein the silica is colloidal and has a surface area of from about 50 to about 410 m.sup.2 per gram, and wherein the colloidal silica makes up from about 0.01% to about 1.0% by weight of the mixture; firing the resulting dry blend of components in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of from about 1200.degree. C. to about 1300.degree. C. for a sufficient time to produce the phosphor; milling the resulting phosphor for a period of time of from about 60 minutes to about 120 minutes; firing the resulting milled phosphor in air at a temperature of from about 1175.degree. C. to about 1275.degree. C. for a sufficient time to diffuse the tungsten and manganese to the surfaces of the phosphor particles; applying a non-particulate, conformal aluminum oxide coating to the outer surface of individual particles of the phosphor while the phosphor particles are suspended in a fluid bed having a midpoint temperature between 400.degree. and 480.degree. C., the aluminum oxide coating being formed by a chemical vapor deposition reaction involving oxidation of trimethyl aluminum; and annealing the aluminum oxide coated phosphor for a period of time from 4-16 hours at a temperature between 750.degree. and 800.degree.

摘要:
A fluorescent light source based on a phosphor excited by a molecular discharge is described. The fluorescent light source comprises a capacitively coupled compact fluorescent lamp coated with a manganese doped magnesium aluminate phosphor on the inside surface of the lamp envelope. The compact fluorscent lamp produces a plasma which emits 206 nm radiation from the molecular discharge of the iodine containing molecular vapors and inert gas fill which in turn excites the phosphor to emit visible light.
摘要:
A fluorescent lamp providing improved maintenance and brightness includes an alkaline earth halophosphate (Cool-White) phosphor, e.g. a calcium halophosphate phosphor, having a continuous protective bilayer coating of alumina surrounding silica surrounding the phosphor particles. The lamp may be a high color rendition fluorescent lamp in which a first layer of alkaline earth halophosphate phosphor coats an inner surface of the lamp envelope, and a second layer of phosphor overlies the first layer of phosphor. The second layer of phosphor is a mixture of red, blue and green emitting phosphors, at least one of these being a zinc silicate phosphor. Each of the alkaline earth halophosphate and zinc silicate phosphors have a bilayer coating in which a coating of alumina surrounds a coating of silica which surrounds the phosphor.

摘要:
A low-mercury-consuming fluorescent lamp (1) contains a fine particle size alpha alumina in the phosphor-containing layer (16) on the inner surface (15) of the lamp envelope (3). The lamp envelope (3) may have one or more bends (22), in which case the phosphor-containing layer (16) additionally contains an adhesive, such as a borate adhesive, to enhance adhesion, especially in the bend areas. The phosphor-containing layer (16) may be formed from a water-based coating suspension to which the fine particle alpha alumina is added after its pre-dispersion in deionized water.
