The present disclosure relates to the field of inorganic non-metallic optoelectronic functional materials, in particular to wet-resistant fluoride red phosphor and preparation and application thereof, and a white light light-emitting diode (LED) device serving as a display backlight source.
At present, liquid crystal displays mainly use white light LEDs as backlight source. This type of the white light LEDs is fabricated by mainly packaging blue light LED chips in combination with red and green phosphors. For white light LED devices applied to display backlight sources, the emission spectra of the phosphor is narrower, and it is more beneficial to improve the color gamut range and color contrast of display, so that images displayed are more vivid and bright.
In order to meet the needs of liquid crystal displays and high-end lighting applications, a large number of scholars develop Mn4+ activated fluoride red phosphor in recent years. The Mn4+ activated fluoride red phosphor may be effectively excited by the blue light emitted by the LED chips, and it has the advantages such as narrowband red emission, high quantum efficiency, good thermal stability, and simple synthesis method. The d-d orbital electron forbidden transition of Mn4+ may emit a narrow band spectra, which may well meet the needs of display applications. The fluoride compounds have low phonon energy and thus have high efficiency in energy conversion. At present, the reported Mn4+ activated fluoride red phosphors mainly include fluorosilicate (K2, Na2, KNa, Ba, and Zn) SiF6:Mn4+, fluorogermanate (Na2, K2, and Ba) GeF6:Mn4+, fluorostannate (K2, Na2, and Cs2) SnF6·H2O:Mn4+, and fluorotitanate (K2, Na2, Cs, and Ba) TiF6:Mn4+ and other systems. Herein two materials, K2SiF6:Mn4+ and K2GeF6:Mn4+, are commercially applied already. However, all Mn4+ activated fluoride red phosphor has a key technical challenge of poor wet resistance. Once the Mn4+ activated fluoride red phosphors contacted with water and oxygen in the environment, a layer of black MnO2 is formed on the surface of the phosphors, resulting in the luminescence efficiency of the phosphors is greatly reduced. In order to overcome this technical challenge, there is an urgent need to develop a technical means to improve the wet resistance of the fluoride red phosphor, or to develop high-efficiency fluoride red phosphor with wet resistance.
In order to make the fluoride phosphors achieve the well waterproof effect, a common way that has been adopted was by coating one or more layers of inorganic and organic substances on the surface of phosphor particles. By taking this measure, researchers make many attempts to improve the waterproof performance of the fluoride phosphor, and there are currently two mainstream surface modification methods.
One method is to construct a core-shell structure, and the surface of the phosphor is coated with a layer of an inorganic substance or an organic substance so as to achieve a purpose of isolating water molecules in the environment. For example:
Another method is surface modification, means such as acid reduction or ion exchange is used, to reduce the concentration of Mn4+ on the surface of phosphor particles and prevent the occurrence of the browning effect. For example:
Although these technologies may improve the waterproof performance to a certain extent, it still may not completely overcome the wet resistance problem of the fluoride red phosphor, and it is urgent to find a new water-resistant surface substance and develop a new surface coating technology.
A purpose of the present disclosure is to provide wet-resistant fluoride red phosphor and preparation and application thereof, and a white light LED device serving as a display backlight source in response to the deficiencies of existing technologies. The present disclosure uses CMgF3 generated as a coating waterproof layer, to form an A2B1-xF6:xMn4+ core-shell structure of which the surface is coated by CMgF3, and a wet-resistant problem of the fluoride red phosphor is overcome.
