Abstract
The present invention provides a phosphor having high luminance, a property of low luminance degradation during driving of a light-emitting device, and chromaticity y comparable to that of BAM:Eu. The present invention is a phosphor represented by the general formula aAO.bEuO.DO.cSiO, where A is at least one selected from Ca, Sr and Ba, D is at least one selected from Mg and Zn, and 2.970≦a≦3.500, 0.001≦b≦0.030, and 1.900≦c≦2.100 are satisfied. In this phosphor, a peak intensity at 1490 cmis 0.02 to 0.8 when a peak intensity at 565 cmis set to 1 in a spectrum obtained by measurement using photoacoustic spectroscopy.
