Recent advances in Mn 4+ -doped fluoride narrow-band red-emitting phosphors
2017
White lighting emitting diodes (WLEDs) are considered as next generation
solid-state lighting source, show great potential for lighting and
displays application, because of their superior properties of energy
saving, environment-friendliness and long lifetime. To date, the most
popular commercial WLEDs are constructed by the combination of blue
light emitting InGaN chip and yellow phosphor Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ (YAG). However, owing to the
inherent deficiency of red emission from YAG:Ce 3+ , the
well-established strategy suffers from a low color rendering index
(CRI, Ra <80) and high correlated color temperature
(CCT>4000 K), which makes it inappropriate for applications
in indoor lighting or backlighting in liquid-crystal display (LCD).
To solve this problem, a suitable extra red emitting phosphor should
be added into the aforementioned design. Currently, narrow-band Mn 4+ -activated fluorides have gained considerable attention due
to their superiorities of sharp line emission, high luminescence efficiency,
good thermal stability, high color purity, and solution-availability,
which are highly important to the application for WLEDs. Here in this
review, we overview the recent development of Mn 4+ doped
fluoride red phosphors, especially focusing on the investigations
on crystal structure, synthetic approaches, optical properties and
promising application for WLEDs. Afterwards, the existing challenges
and future developments have been proposed pointedly.
