Patent ID: 10428270

Abstract:
A method of producing hybrid fluorescent material includes dispersing Lu3Al5O12:Ce fluorescent material particles in a first solution; mixing the first solution in a second solution, the second solution including a mixture of a first metallic salt containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of yttrium, gadolinium, and terbium, a second metallic salt containing aluminum and/or gallium, and a third metallic salt containing cerium, wherein the mixing attaches (Y,Gd,Tb)3(Al,Ga)5O12:Ce fluorescent material precursor particles on surfaces of the Lu3Al5O12:Ce fluorescent material particles to obtain a hybrid fluorescent material precursor; separating the hybrid fluorescent material precursor particles from the first and second solutions; and calcining the hybrid fluorescent material precursor particles to obtain a hybrid fluorescent material of Lu3Al5O12:Ce fluorescent material particles covered by (Y,Gd,Tb)3(Al,Ga)5O12:Ce fluorescent material.
