Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to an illumination system comprising a radiation source and a luminescent material comprising a phosphor.
  • the invention also relates to a luminescent material for use in such illumination system.
  • the invention relates to an illumination system and a luminescent material for the generation of specific colored light, including white light, by luminescent down conversion and additive color mixing based a radiation source emitting in the near UV or blue range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • a light- emitting diode as a radiation source is especially contemplated.
  • illumination systems comprising visible colored red, green and blue light emitting diodes as radiation sources are used single or in clusters for all kind of applications where rugged, compact, lightweight, high efficiency, long- life, low voltage sources of white or colored illumination are needed.
  • Such applications comprise inter alia illumination of small LCD displays in consumer products such as cellular phones, digital cameras and hand held computers.
  • Pertinent uses include also status indicators on such products as computer monitors, stereo receivers, CD players, VCRs, and the like.
  • Indicators are also used in instrument panels in aircraft, trains, ships, cars, etc. Multi-color combinations of pluralities of visible colored light emitting LEDs in addressable arrays containing hundreds or thousands of LED components are found in large area displays such as full color video walls and also as high brightness large-area outdoor television screens.
  • arrays of amber, red, and blue-green emitting LEDs are increasingly used as traffic lights or in effect lighting of buildings.
  • LEDs are however typically subject to low yield and are considered difficult to fabricate with uniform emission characteristics from batch to batch.
  • the LEDs can exhibit large wavelength variations across the wafer within a single batch, and in operation can exhibit strong wavelength and emission variations with operation conditions such as drive current and temperature. Therefore, when generating white light with an arrangement comprising visible colored light emitting diodes, there has been such a problem that white light of the desired tone cannot be generated due to variations in the tone, luminance and other factors of the visible colored light emitting diodes.
  • Another known way to provide white or colored light illumination is used in illumination systems wherein the color of light emitting diodes emitting in the UV to blue range of the electromagnetic spectrum is converted by means of a luminescent material comprising a phosphor.
  • Phosphor-converted "white" LED systems have been based in particular on the dichromatic (BY) approach, mixing yellow and blue colors, in which case the yellow secondary component of the output light may be provided by a yellow phosphor and the blue component may be provided by a phosphor or by the primary emission of a blue LED.
  • white illumination systems have been based on the trichromatic (RGB) approach, i.e. on mixing three colors, namely red, green and blue, in which case the red and green component may be provided by a phosphor and the blue component by the primary emission of a blue-emitting LED.
  • phosphors comprising europium(III) as activators in any kind of host lattice are already known to satisfy the criteria of absorption in the near UV of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Example given, US2006/0028117 Al discloses a red phosphor which includes a compound represented by (Li ( 2-z)- ⁇ M x )(A ⁇ 4) y :Eu z , Sniq and a flux wherein M is K, M Na, Ca, Sr, or Ba, A is Mo or W, 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 2, 0.5 ⁇ y ⁇ 5, 0.01 ⁇ z ⁇ 1.5, and 0.001 ⁇ q ⁇ -1.0, which is excellent in emission efficiency by a long wavelength UV excitation source and has a fine and uniform particle size.
  • the present invention provides an illumination system comprising a radiation source and a luminescent material comprising at least one first phosphor capable of absorbing a part of the radiation emitted by the radiation source and emitting radiation of a wavelength different from that of the absorbed radiation, wherein said at least one phosphor is an europium(III)-activated hetero-polyoxometallate of general formula A a RE b M m ⁇ 3m+3/2b+a-i/2 ⁇ F x , wherein A is as least one alkaline metal selected from the group of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium, RE is at least one rare earth metal selected from the group of yttrium, lanthanum and gadolinium, M is a metal selected from the group of molybdenum and tungsten or a combination thereof and wherein O ⁇ a ⁇ 1, 1 ⁇ b ⁇ 3, 2 ⁇ m ⁇ 6 and 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 2.
  • Such an illumination system provides an efficient and longliving way of illumination.
  • the efficiency of an illumination system using a source of primary radiation and a phosphor, which converts primary radiation into secondary radiation, is especially dependent on the efficiency of the radiation conversion process.
  • a radiation conversion process in general may be characterized by a number of parameters, including extinction coefficient, excitation, and emission spectrum, Stokes' shift, quantum efficiency and lumen efficiency.
  • An extinction coefficient is a wavelength-dependent measure of the absorbing power of a phosphor.
  • An excitation spectrum is the dependence of emission intensity on the excitation wavelength, measured at a single constant emission wavelength.
  • An emission spectrum is the wavelength distribution of the emission, measured after excitation with a single constant excitation wavelength.
  • Stokes shift is generally defined as the displacement of spectral lines or bands of luminescent radiation to a longer emission wavelength than the excitation lines or bands.
  • Quantum efficiency QE is the ratio of the number of photons emitted to the number of photons absorbed by a phosphor.
  • the illumination system according to the invention exhibits luminescence with a quantum efficiency that is improved in comparison to the prior art systems.
  • This increase in efficiency is due to the fact that the phosphors according to the invention have excitation bands in the bluish-green and blue range of the electromagnetic spectrum, extending into the UVA and UVB range. Due to excitation spectrum in the blue and bluish-green range, the phosphors described in the invention have a very small Stokes shift, if the wavelength of exciting radiation source is matched to the phosphor excitation wavelength.
  • the quantum loss caused by the conversion of a primary photon emitted by the radiation source into a secondary yellow to red photon can thus be minimized. As a consequence less of the energy delivered to the lamp is wasted as heat and the luminous efficiency is increased.
  • radiation sources their excitation spectrum permits the phosphors to be efficiently excited by any wavelength-limited light sources, such as common lasers and arc lamps as well as inorganic or organic light emitting diodes.
  • a radiation source for the present invention is a light-emitting diode.
  • the emission produced by a light-emitting diode typically has excellent monochromaticity, because of its narrow spectral half- width of its emission spectrum.
  • the radiation source is a light emitting diode, having a peak emission wavelength in the range of 370 to 480 nm as a radiation source.
  • Such an illumination system will provide white light in operation.
  • the blue light emitted by the LED excites the phosphor, causing it to emit yellow, amber or red light.

  • the key feature of the phosphor according to the invention is its hetero- polyoxometallate host lattice.
  • the stable crystal structure of the host lattice is free of non-stoichiometric defects, and is therefore stable with regard to external influence such as heat and ultraviolet to blue radiation.
  • the phosphors according to the invention are highly resistant to photo-bleaching and photo-degradation. Resistance to thermally enhanced photodegradation is of importance, as light-emitting diodes under operation can become very hot and any material surrounding the LED will also become hot.
