Abstract

Abstract @ Luminescent aluminoborate and/or aluminosilicate glass which is activated by one or more rare earth metals. The glass has a matrix comprising from 5 to 65 mol.% of one or more of the alkaline earth metal oxides BaO, SrO, CaO, ZnO and MgO, from 20 to 85 mol.% of B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and/or Si02 and from 1 to 35 mol.% of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. The glass contains as activator Tb<sup>3+</sup> and/or Ce<sup>3+</sup> in a quantity, calculated as Tb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and/or Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, of 0.1 to 10 mol.% with respect to the matrix. The luminescent glasses have high conversion efficiencies, especially high quantum efficiencies upon UV excitation, and are preferably used in luminescent screens of, for example, discharge lamps or cathode-ray tubes.
