  • Patent number: 7514020
    Abstract: Provided is a silicophosphate-based phosphor of Formula 1 and a light-emitting device including the same: [(Sr(1-x-y-a-b-c) BaaCabMgcEuxMny)4Si(PO4)4??(1) where 0<x?0.2, 0?y?0.2, 0?a?0.2, 0?b?0.5, and 0?c?0.5. The silicophosphate-based phosphor of Formula 1 is chemically and thermally stable and can be easily prepared. The phosphor exhibits a high luminous property when excited by a UV LED excitation light source having a wavelength of 360-420 nm, and emits light having a wavelength of 570 to 630 nm. Accordingly, the silicophosphate-based phosphor can be used in a LED, a lamp, a self-emission type liquid crystal display device, or the like. In particular, when a white LED includes the silicophosphate-based phosphor, the color rendering index of the white LED is high and thus an excellent color rendering property can be obtained.
