さらに付活剤としてはEuが好ましいので、式(II)
(M1 1-aEua)M23 26 ・・・(II)
(式中のM1、M2およびM3は前記と同じ意味を有する。)で表される化合物から実質的になる蛍光体がより好ましい。ここで、式(II)において、aは0を超え0.2以下の範囲の値である方がより高い輝度を示す傾向があり好ましい。ただし、aが0の場合は付活剤のEuが含有されないので蛍光体とはならない。

Here, in the formula (II), it is preferable that a is a value in the range of more than 0 and not more than 0.2 because higher brightness tends to be exhibited. However, when a is 0, Eu as an activator is not contained, so that it does not become a phosphor.

さらに、前記式(II)のM1としてはSrが単独で含有される場合またはCaとSrの両方が含有される場合、M2としてはMg、M3としてはSiが好ましいので、式(III)
Ca1-b-cSrbEucMgSi26 ・・・(III)

Furthermore, when Sr is contained alone as M 1 in the formula (II) or when both Ca and Sr are contained, Mg is preferred as M 2 , and Si is preferred as M 3. )
Ca 1-bc Sr b Eu c MgSi 2 O 6 (III)
A phosphor substantially consisting of the compound represented by Here, in the formula (III), it is preferable that b is a value in the range of 0.05 or more and less than 1, since high brightness tends to be exhibited. Further, b is more preferably in the range of 0.2 or more and 0.9 or less because it tends to show higher luminance. Further, b is particularly preferably a value in the range of 0.45 or more and 0.7 or less because it tends to exhibit a particularly high luminance. Further, it is preferable that c is in the range of more than 0 and not more than 0.2 because it tends to show higher luminance. Further, c is more preferably in the range of 0.003 or more and 0.09 or less because it tends to exhibit higher luminance.

本発明の蛍光体は、電子線によって励起され発光するため、CRT、FED、SED、VFD等の電子線励起発光素子に好ましく用いられる。電子線励起発光素子に用いる蛍光体の励起源である電子線としては、電子の加速電圧が20kV〜30kVである場合の高速電子線、電子の加速電圧が10kV以下である場合の低速電子線があるが、本発明の蛍光体は、蛍光体の励起源が低速電子線である電子線励起発光素子により好ましく用いられる。蛍光体の励起源が低速電子線である電子線励起発光素子としては、FED、SEDが挙げられ、本発明の蛍光体は、FED、SEDに特に好ましく用いられる。   Since the phosphor of the present invention is excited by an electron beam and emits light, it is preferably used for an electron beam-excited light emitting device such as a CRT, FED, SED, VFD. The electron beam that is the excitation source of the phosphor used in the electron beam excitation light-emitting device includes a high-speed electron beam when the electron acceleration voltage is 20 kV to 30 kV, and a low-speed electron beam when the electron acceleration voltage is 10 kV or less. However, the phosphor of the present invention is preferably used for an electron beam excited light emitting device in which the excitation source of the phosphor is a slow electron beam. Examples of the electron beam excited light emitting device in which the excitation source of the phosphor is a low-energy electron beam include FED and SED, and the phosphor of the present invention is particularly preferably used for FED and SED.

次に、本発明の蛍光体を製造する方法について説明する。
本発明の蛍光体は、例えば、次のようにして製造することができる。本発明の蛍光体は、焼成により、式(I)で表される化合物に少なくとも付活剤としてLn(ただしLnはCe、Pr、Nd、Pm、Sm、Eu、Gd、Tb、Dy、Ho、Er、Tm、YbおよびMnからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の元素である。)が含有されてなる蛍光体となる金属化合物混合物を焼成することにより製造することができる。すなわち、対応する金属元素を含有する化合物を所定の組成となるように秤量し、混合した後に得られた金属化合物混合物を焼成することにより製造することができる。例えば、好ましい組成の一つである式Ca0.49Sr0.49Eu0.02MgSi26で表される化合物からなる蛍光体は、CaCO3、SrCO3、Eu23、MgO、SiO2をCa:Sr:Eu:Mg:Siのモル比が0.49:0.49:0.02:1:2となるように秤量し、混合した後に焼成することにより製造することができる。
Next, a method for producing the phosphor of the present invention will be described.
The phosphor of the present invention can be manufactured, for example, as follows. The phosphor of the present invention is obtained by firing with a compound represented by the formula (I) at least Ln as an activator (where Ln is Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, 1 or more elements selected from the group consisting of Er, Tm, Yb, and Mn.) Can be produced by firing a metal compound mixture that becomes a phosphor. That is, it can be produced by weighing the compound containing the corresponding metal element so as to have a predetermined composition and firing the resulting metal compound mixture. For example, a phosphor composed of a compound represented by the formula Ca 0.49 Sr 0.49 Eu 0.02 MgSi 2 O 6 , which is one of preferred compositions, includes CaCO 3 , SrCO 3 , Eu 2 O 3 , MgO, and SiO 2 as Ca: Sr. : Eu: Mg: Si can be manufactured by weighing the mixture so that the molar ratio is 0.49: 0.49: 0.02: 1: 2, mixing, and firing.
