Abstract

Abstract Luminescent alkaline earth metal silicate aluminate defined by the formula Sr 3-a-b Ba a Ca b Si 1-y Ge y Al 10-z Ga z O 20 ; Ce p 3+ , Eu q 2+ , Tb r 3+ , wherein, if r=0, it holds that 0≦a+b≦1.5 0≦p≦0.75 0≦q≦0.25 0.001≦p+q and wherein, if p+q=0, it holds that 0≦a≦3.0 0≦b≦1.5 a+b≦3.0 0.01≦r≦1.0. The material is used in a luminescent screen, preferably in the luminescent screen of a low-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
A terbium or cerium activated alkaline earth metal silicate aluminate luminescent material having a composition selected from the formulae: Sr.sub.3-a Ba.sub.a SiAl.sub.10 O.sub.20 :Tb.sub.r.sup.3+ wherein 0≦a≦3.0 and 0.10≦r≦0.50 and wherein charge compensation for the terbium is achieved by substitution of Na and/or K in a Sr site and/or by Al in a Si site and; Sr.sub.3-a-b Ba.sub.a Ca.sub.b SiAl.sub.10 O.sub.20 :Ce.sub.p.sup.3+ wherein 0≦a+b≦1.0 and 0.10≦p≦0.50 and wherein charge compensation for the cerium is achieved by substitution of Na and/or K in a Sr site and/or Al in a Si site.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 90 words
A terbium or cerium activated alkaline earth metal silicate aluminate luminescent material having a composition selected from the formulae: Sr.sub.3-a Ba.sub.a SiAl.sub.10 O.sub.20 :Tb.sub.r.sup.3+ wherein 0≦a≦3.0 and 0.10≦r≦0.50 and wherein charge compensation for the terbium is achieved by substitution of Na and/or K in a Sr site and/or by Al in a Si site and; Sr.sub.3-a-b Ba.sub.a Ca.sub.b SiAl.sub.10 O.sub.20 :Ce.sub.p.sup.3+ wherein 0≦a+b≦1.0 and 0.10≦p≦0.50 and wherein charge compensation for the cerium is achieved by substitution of Na and/or K in a Sr site and/or Al in a Si site.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
A luminescent material as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the material is defined by the formula Sr 3-a-b Ba a Ca b SiAl 10 O 20 ; Ce p 3+ , wherein 0≦a+b≦1.0 and 0.10≦p≦0.50, and wherein charge compensation for the cerium is performed by substitution of Na and/or K in a Sr-site and/or by substitution of Al in a Si-site.
