Title: Light emitting device and lightening fixture provided with same

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present description relates to a light emitting device and a lightening fixture provided with the same. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     A light emitting device using a light emitting element referred to as a light emitting diode (which may be hereinafter referred to as an “LED”) is receiving attention. Examples include a light emitting device including a combination of an LED emitting blue light and a fluorescent material emitting yellow light. The light emitting device emits white light by mixing blue light of the blue LED and yellow light emitted from the fluorescent material excited by the blue light. 
     The light emitting device including a combination of a light emitting element emitting blue light and a fluorescent material emitting yellow light has a high light emission efficiency due to the strong radiation intensity in the visible light region. Furthermore, a light emitting device having a high average color rendering index, which is an index of the visibility of color (color rendering property) of the radiated matter, may be demanded in some cases. 
     The evaluation procedure of the color rendering property of a light source is determined by JIS Z8726 in such a manner that the color differences ΔEi (wherein i represents an integer of 1 to 15) in the colorimetry of the test colors (R1 to R15) having the prescribed reflectance characteristics with the test light source and the standard light source are calculated through numerical calculation. The upper limit of each of the color rendering indices Ri (wherein i represents an integer of 1 to 15) is 100. Accordingly, in the case where the color difference between the test light source and the standard light source having a color temperature corresponding to the test light source is smaller, the color rendering index is increased close to 100. 
     In relation to the foregoing, a light emitting device using an LED emitting blue light and two kinds of fluorescent materials emitting yellow to green light has been proposed, and is said to achieve high color reproducibility (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

However, the embodiments shown below are for practicing the technical concept of the present invention, and do not identify the present invention. In the description herein, the relationship between color names and chromaticity coordinates, the relationship between wavelength ranges and color names of monochromic light, and the like are in accordance with JIS Z8110. In the case where plural substances corresponding to each of the components exist in the composition, the content of each of the components in the composition means the total amount of the plural substances existing in the composition, unless otherwise indicated. The average particle diameter of the fluorescent material is a value referred to as a Fisher Sub Sieve Sizer&#39;s No., and measured by the air permeability method. 
     [Light Emitting Device] The light emitting device includes a light emitting element having a light emission peak wavelength in a range of 430 nm or more and 470 nm or less, and a fluorescent member including two or more kinds of rare earth aluminate fluorescent materials including at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a first fluorescent material having a composition represented by the following formula (I), a second fluorescent material having a composition represented by the following formula (II), and a third fluorescent material having a composition represented by the following formula (III), a fourth fluorescent material having a composition represented by the following formula (IV), and a fifth fluorescent material having a composition represented by the following formula (V).

     The light emitting element having a light emission peak wavelength in a range of 430 nm or more and 470 nm or less emitting blue-violet color to blue color is used in combination with the two or more kinds of rare earth aluminate fluorescent materials including at least one kind selected from the group consisting of the first fluorescent material, the second fluorescent material, and the third fluorescent material, in addition to the fourth fluorescent material and the fifth fluorescent material emitting red light. According to the configuration, the light emission spectrum of blue-violet color to blue color in a range of 430 nm or more and 470 nm or less can be suppressed from becoming an especially high intensity, and the light emission intensity of the light emission spectrum in a wavelength range of the emitted light of yellow color to green color can be largely enhanced. In particular, the phenomenon that only the light emission spectrum in a wavelength range of blue-violet color to blue color becomes an especially high intensity can be suppressed, and the light emission spectrum in a wavelength range of the emitted light of yellow color to green color can be further approximated to the standard light source to increase the light emission component of green light having a high luminosity factor, enabling the achievement of an excellent color rendering property and a high light emission efficiency. 
     As for the color rendering property, CIE (Commission Internationale de l&#39;Eclairage) published the guidelines of the color rendering property that fluorescent lamps should satisfy in 1986, and according to the guidelines, the preferred average color rendering index (which is hereinafter referred to as “Ra”) corresponding to the use sites is 60 or more and less than 80 for worksites for general work, 80 or more and less than 90 for residential houses, hotels, restaurants, stores, offices, schools, hospitals, worksites for precise work, and the like, and 90 or more for places for clinical examination, museums, and the like requiring a high color rendering property. 
     The Ra of the light emitting device is, for example, 80 or more, preferably 90 or more, and more preferably 95 or more. The upper limit of the Ra is 100. The special color rendering indices are expressed by indices R9 to R15, and are designated as red for R9, yellow for R10, green for R11, blue for R12, Westerner skin color for R13, leaf color for R14, and Japanese skin color for R15. The special color rendering indices are said to be preferably as high as possible, and the R9 to R15 of the light emitting device of the present embodiment each are, for example, 50 or more, preferably 60 or more, more preferably 70 or more, and further preferably 80 or more. The upper limit of each of the R9 to R15 is 100. The R15 of the light emitting device is preferably a further higher value, and is particularly preferably, 85 or more, 90 or more, 92 or more, or 93 or more.

     The correlated color temperature of the light emitted from the light emitting device may be, for example, 2,000 K or more, and may be 2,500 K or more. The correlated color temperature may be 8,000 K or less, and may be 7,000 K or less. 
     A light emitting device  100  as one example of the light emitting device will be described with reference to the drawing.  FIG.  1    is a schematic cross sectional view showing the light emitting device  100 . 
     The light emitting device  100  includes a light emitting element  10  of a gallium nitride-based compound semiconductor emitting light on the short wavelength side of visible light (for example, in a range of 380 nm or more and 485 nm or less) having a light emission peak wavelength in a range of 430 nm or more and 470 nm or less, and a molded article  40  for mounting the light emitting element  10  thereon. The molded article  40  includes a first lead  20 , a second lead  30 , and a resin part  42  containing a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin, which are integrally molded. The molded article  40  has formed therein a recessed portion having a bottom surface and a side surface, and the light emitting element  10  is placed on the bottom surface of the recessed portion. The light emitting element  10  has one pair of positive and negative electrodes, and the one pair of positive and negative electrodes are electrically connected to the first lead  20  and the second lead  30  via wire  60 , respectively. The light emitting element  10  is covered with a fluorescent member  50 .

     The fluorescent member  50  not only converts the wavelength of the light emitted by the light emitting element  10 , but also functions as a member for protecting the light emitting element  10  from the external environment. In  FIG.  1   , the fluorescent material  70  is localized in the fluorescent member  50 . In the case where the fluorescent material  70  is placed close to the light emitting element  10  in this manner, the wavelength of the light from the light emitting element  10  can be efficiently converted, resulting in a light emitting device excellent in light emission efficiency. The positions of the fluorescent member  50  including the fluorescent material  70 , and the light emitting element  10  are not limited to the configuration in which these articles are placed close to each other, and the fluorescent material  70  may be placed in the fluorescent member  50  apart from the light emitting element  10  in consideration of the influence of heat on the fluorescent material  70 . In alternative, the fluorescent material  70  may be mixed substantially uniformly over the fluorescent member  50 , so as to provide light having further suppressed color unevenness.

In the case where the light emitting device emitting light having a correlated color temperature in a range of 3,750 K or more and 4,750 K or less is to be achieved, the light emission peak intensity ratio of the light emission peak of the fourth fluorescent material with respect to the light emission peak of the light emitting element is preferably in a range of 2.0 or more and 3.5 or less, and more preferably in a range of 2.5 or more and 3.0 or less, from the standpoint of the light flux and the color rendering property. In the case where the light emitting device emitting light having a correlated color temperature in a range of 2,850 K or more and 3,750 K or less is to be achieved, the light emission peak intensity ratio of the light emission peak of the fourth fluorescent material with respect to the light emission peak of the light emitting element is preferably in a range of 3.5 or more and 5.5 or less, and more preferably in a range of 4.0 or more and 5.2 or less, from the standpoint of the light flux and the color rendering property. In the case where the light emitting device emitting light having a correlated color temperature in a range of 2,500 K or more and 2,850 K or less is to be achieved, the light emission peak intensity ratio of the light emission peak of the fourth fluorescent material with respect to the light emission peak of the light emitting element is preferably in a range of 5.5 or more and 7.0 or less, and more preferably in a range of 6.0 or more and 6.5 or less, from the standpoint of the light flux and the color rendering property. 
     Additional Fluorescent Material 
     The light emitting device may include an additional fluorescent material other than the first fluorescent material to the fifth fluorescent material as necessary. Examples of the additional fluorescent material include (Sr,Ba,Ca) 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (Br,Cl) 2 :Eu, (Y,Gd,Tb,Lu) 3 (Al,Ga) 5 O 12 :Ce (provided that the compositions of the first to third fluorescent materials are excluded), Ca 3 Sc 2 Si 3 O 12 :Ce, CaSc 2 O 4 :Ce, (La,Y) 3 Si 6 N 11 :Ce, (Ca,Sr,Ba) 3 Si 6 O 9 N 4 :Eu, (Ca,Sr,Ba) 3 Si 6 O 12 N 2 :Eu, (Ba,Sr,Ca)Si 2 O 2 N 2 :Eu, (Ca,Sr,Ba) 2 Si 5 N 8 :Eu, (Ca,Sr,Ba)S:Eu, and (Ba,Sr,Ca)Ga 2 S 4 :Eu. In the case where the light emitting device includes the additional fluorescent material, the content thereof may be appropriately regulated to provide particular light emission characteristics. 
     The fluorescent materials used may be commercially available fluorescent materials, and the fourth fluorescent material may be produced with reference to the production methods described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-202266 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-212532 applied by the present applicant. The additional fluorescent material may be produced, for example, in the following manner. An elementary substance, an oxide, a carbonate, a nitride, a chloride, a fluoride, a sulfide, and the like of the elements contained in the composition of the fluorescent material are used as raw materials, and the raw materials each are weighed to make the prescribed compositional ratio. An additive, such as a flux, is appropriately added to the raw materials, which are mixed by a wet method or a dry method with a mixer. According to the procedure, the solid state reaction can be facilitated to form particles having a uniform size. The mixer used may be a ball mill generally used industrially, and in addition, a pulverizer, such as a vibration mill, a roll mill, and a jet mill, may also be used. The raw materials may be pulverized with a pulverizer to increase the specific surface area. For regulating the specific surface area of the resulting fluorescent material particles to a certain range, classification may be performed with a wet classifier, such as a sedimentation tank, a hydrocyclone, and a centrifugal separator, and a dry classifier, such as a cyclone and an air separator, which are generally used industrially. The mixed raw material is charged in a crucible formed of SiC, quartz, alumina, BN, or the like, and calcined in an inert atmosphere, such as argon or nitrogen, or in a reducing atmosphere containing hydrogen. The calcining is performed at a prescribed temperature for a prescribed time. The calcined material is subjected to pulverization, dispersion, filtration, and the like, so as to provide the target fluorescent material powder. The solid-liquid separation may be performed by a method generally used industrially, such as filtration, suction filtration, pressure filtration, centrifugal separation, and decantation. The drying may be performed with an apparatus generally used industrially, such as a vacuum dryer, a hot air dryer, a conical dryer, and a rotary evaporator. 
     Fluorescent Member 
     The light emitting device include the fluorescent member that includes, for example, the fluorescent materials and a resin, and covers the light emitting element. Examples of the resin constituting the fluorescent member include a thermoplastic resin and a thermosetting resin. Specific examples of the thermosetting resin include an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, and a modified silicone resin, such as an epoxy-modified silicone resin. 
     The fluorescent member may include an additional component in addition to the fluorescent materials and the resin depending on necessity. Examples of the additional component include a filler, such as silica, barium titanate, titanium oxide, and aluminum oxide, a light stabilizer, and a colorant. In the case where the fluorescent member includes the additional component, the content thereof is not particularly limited and may be selected depending on the purpose and the like. For example, in the case where a filler is contained as the additional component, the content may be 0.01 to 20% by mass based on the resin. 
     Lightening Fixture 
     It suffices that the lightening fixture includes at least one kind of the aforementioned light emitting device. The lightening fixture may include at least one kind of the aforementioned light emitting device, and a known light emitting device that emits white mixed light in combination. The lightening fixture may further include, in addition to the light emitting device, a reflecting member, a protective member, an auxiliary device for supplying electric power to the light emitting device, and the like. The lightening fixture may include plurality of the light emitting devices. In the case where the lightening fixture includes the plural light emitting devices, the plural light emitting devices that are the same as each other may be provided, and the plural light emitting devices that are different in correlated color temperature from each other may be provided. A driving device may be provided to drive the plural light emitting devices individually, so as to enable adjustment of the brightness and the correlated color temperature depending on desire. The usage mode of the lightening fixture may be any of a direct mount type, an embedded type, a suspended type, and the like.

     The light emitting devices of Examples 1 to 6 were measured for the chromaticity coordinate, the correlated color temperature (Tcp, K), the average color rendering index (Ra (R1 to R8)), and the special color rendering indices (R9 to R15) of the emitted light. Specifically, the light emitting devices used in Examples and Comparative Examples were measured for the chromaticity coordinate (x,y) in the chromaticity coordinate system of the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram, the light flux, and the radiant flux (spectral total radiant flux) with a photometric system combining a spectral photometric analyzer (PMA-12, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.) and an integral sphere. The results of the chromaticity coordinate and the correlated color temperature (Tcp, K) of the emitted light are shown in Table 1. The results of the color rendering indices are shown in Table 2 below. 
     The light emission spectra of the light emitting devices of Examples and Comparative Examples described later were measured with a spectrofluorometer. The light emission peak intensity ratios of the light emission peak of the fourth fluorescent material with respect to the light emission peak of the light emitting element are shown in Table 1.  FIGS.  2  to  7    show the light emission spectra of the light emitting devices of Examples 1 to 6 with the spectra of the standard light sources.

     Comparative Example 1 
     A light emitting device was produced to provide a correlated color temperature around 6,500 K in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the fourth fluorescent material was not used, but a combination of the chlorosilicate fluorescent material having a composition represented by the formula (VI) and a light emission peak wavelength of 521 nm, the first fluorescent material GYAG2, and the fifth fluorescent material SCASN was used as the fluorescent material, and the contents of the fluorescent materials were allowed to be the values shown in Table 3 below. 
     Comparative Examples 2 to 6 
     Light emitting devices of Comparative Examples 2 to 6 were produced to provide a correlated color temperature around 2,700 K to 5,000 K in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that the amounts of the fluorescent materials were changed to make the content ratios of the fluorescent materials shown in Table 3 below.

     As shown in Tables 2 and 4, in the comparison in Ra and R15 of the light emitting devices of Examples and Comparative Examples having substantially the same correlated color temperature, approximately equivalent values were obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples for Ra. For R15, on the other hand, higher values were obtained in the light emitting devices of Examples than Comparative Examples at the respective correlated color temperatures, from which it was understood that the light emitting devices of Examples had a higher color rendering property than the light emitting devices of Comparative Examples at the particular color rendering index. In the comparison of the light emitting devices of Examples and the light emitting devices of Comparative Examples having substantially the same correlated color temperature, assuming that the light fluxes of the light emitting devices of Comparative Examples each were 100%, the relative light fluxes of the light emitting devices of Examples were 108.6% for the light emitting device of Example 1, 111.2% for the light emitting device of Example 2, 115.5% for the light emitting device of Example 3, 117.7% for the light emitting device of Example 4, 114.0% for the light emitting device of Example 5, and 111.8% for Example 6. In any of the light emitting devices of Examples, a higher light flux was obtained. 
     It was understood from the above that the light emitting devices of Examples each had a higher light flux and a higher color rendering property. 
       FIGS.  2  to  7    each show the light emission spectrum of each of the light emitting devices of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, and the spectrum of the standard light source of each of the correlated color temperatures. The light emitting devices of Examples 1 to 6 emitted light having correlated color temperatures near correlated color temperatures of 6,500 K, 5,000 K, 4,000 K, 3,500 K, 3,000 K, and 2,700 K, respectively. In the light emitting devices of Examples 1 to 3 emitting light having correlated color temperatures near 6,500 K, 5,000 K, and 4,000 K, respectively, the light emission spectrum of blue-violet color to blue color in a range of 430 nm or more and 470 nm or less was suppressed from becoming an especially high intensity, and the light emission spectra were approximated to the light emission spectra of the standard light sources, respectively. In the light emitting devices of Examples 4 to 6 emitting light having correlated color temperatures near 3,500 K, 3,000 K, and 2,700 K, respectively, the light emission spectrum of blue-violet color to blue color was suppressed from becoming an especially high intensity, and the intensity of the light emission spectrum in a wavelength range of yellow color to green color, i.e., a wavelength range of 495 nm to 584 nm according to JIS Z8110, did not become higher than the intensity of the light emission spectrum of the standard light source, resulting in further approximation to the standard light source. 
     INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
     The light emitting device of the present description can be applied to an illumination equipment excellent in light emission characteristics, an LED display, a flashlight of camera, and the like. In particular, the light emitting device can be favorably applied to an illumination equipment and a light source that are demanded to achieve a high light flux and a high color rendering property.
