Abstract
A phosphor containing O, Al, In, at least one element M selected from a group consisting of Sr, Ca and Ba, and Eu, as an activator, where the M, the Al, the In and the Eu are present in an atomic ratio M:Al:In:Eu of m:2n(1−y):2n(y):a, 0.3<m/n≦2, 0≦y≦0.2, and 1×10,≦a≦1×10,, exhibits excellent luminance, afterglow and durability. Also a phosphor containing O, Al, In, B, at least one element M selected from a group consisting of Sr, Ca and Ba, and Eu,as an activator, where the M, the Al, the In, the B and the Eu are present in an atomic ratio M:Al:In:B:Eu of m:2n(1−y−z):2n(y−z):2n(z):a, 0.3≦m/n≦2, 0<y≦0.2, 0<z≦0.05, and 1×10,≦a≦1×10,exhibits excellent luminance, afterglow and durability.
