  • Patent number: 9611426
    Abstract: A ceramic composite for light conversion, which can make the fluorescence dominant wavelength longer up to 580 nm, further arbitrarily adjust the wavelength in the range of 570 to 580 nm, and undergoes no decrease in fluorescence intensity even when the fluorescence dominant wavelength is made longer, with luminescence unevenness suppressed. A light-emitting device comprising ceramic composite mentioned above. The ceramic composite for light conversion is a solidified body including a composition expressed by the following formula (1), where the composition has a structure where at least two oxide phases of a first phase and a second phase are continuously and three-dimensionally entangled mutually, and the ceramic composite for light conversion is characterized in that the first phase is a (Tb, Y)3Al5O12 phase activated with Ce for producing fluorescence, whereas the second phase is an Al2O3 phase.
