Abstract: This invention relates to luminescent materials for ultraviolet light or visible light excitation containing lead and/or copper doped chemical compounds. The luminescent material is composed of one or more than one compounds of aluminate type, silicate type, antimonate type, germanate/or germanate-silicate type, and/or phosphate type. Accordingly, the present invention is a good possibility to substitute earth alkaline ions by lead and copper for a shifting of the emission bands to longer or shorter wave length, respectively. Luminescent compounds containing copper and/or lead with improved luminescent properties and also with improved stability against water, humidity as well as other polar solvents are provided. The present invention is to provide lead and/or copper doped luminescent compounds, which has high color temperature range about 2,000K to 8,000K or 10,000K and CRI over 90.

Abstract: The light emitting device has a light emitting diode which is made of a nitride semiconductor and a phosphor which absorbs a part of lights emitted from the light emitting diode and emits different lights with wavelengths other than those of the absorbed lights. The phosphor is made of alkaline earth metal silicate fluorescent material activated with europium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light source comprising a light-emitting element, which emits light in a first spectral region, and comprising a luminophore, which comes from the group of alkaline-earth orthosilicates and which absorbs a portion of the light emitted by the light source and emits light in another spectral region. According to the invention, the luminophore is an alkaline-earth orthosilicate, which is activated with bivalent europium and whose composition consists of: (2-x-y)SrOx(Ba, Ca)O (1-a-b-c-d)SiO2 aP2O5 bAl2O3 cB2O3 dGeO2: y Eu2+ and/or (2-x-y)BaO x((Sr, Ca)O (1-a-b-c-d)SiO2 aP2O5 bAl2O3 cB2O3 dGeO2: y Eu2+. The desired color (color temperature) can be easily adjusted by using a luminophore of the aforementioned type.

Abstract: A compact energy lamp having high luminous flux, long life and a very similar color temperature of between 2300° K and 6500° K which includes a vacuum-type discharge vessel filled with mercury and a noble gas. The inside of the discharge vessel is provided with a luminescent layer and is provided with means for maintaining discharge. The luminescent layer includes two phosphors. The first phosphor is a green-emitting gadolinium magnesium borate silicate, activated with cerium and terbium, and the second phosphor is yttrium oxide: Eu3+, which emits in the red spectral region.
