Abstract: A sol-gel process for synthesizing a luminescent material has a general formulation: AxByFz:Mn. A is an element of group 1, 2, 4, NR4 or a combination of elements belonging to those groups, with R?H or an alkyl chain or a combination of chains. B is an element of group 5, 6, 13, 14 and 0<x?5, 0<y?2, 5?z?7. The sol-gel process includes a) producing a liquid precursor (2, 3) in an alcohol solution by mixing metal reagents (1) with manganese, the mixture being made at pH<8; b) obtaining a solid precursor (5, 6) from the liquid precursor (2, 3) obtained in step a), by eliminating (4) the solvent; c) crystallizing (7, 70) the solid precursor (5, 6) obtained in step b) by thermal treatment in fluorinated atmosphere; and d) retrieving the fluorescent crystalline powder (8) obtained at an end of step c).

Abstract: A light radiation emitting device including at least one LED-type device capable of generating a light radiation in a predefined wavelength range and having two electrical contact pads, and a support delimited by first and second opposite sides defining together a thickness of the support, the support supporting at least one LED luminous device and at least one conductive electric track. The electric track is formed of conductive wires. All or part of the conductive wires are bonded to the support along all or part of their length. All or part of the conductive wires have at least one contact portion exposed towards at least one of the first and second sides of the support. Each of the contact pads of the LED-type device is positioned opposite a contact portion of one of the conductive wires and is electrically connected to the contact portion.
