Title:
LIGHT-EMITTING GLASS, LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH THE LIGHT-EMITTING GLASS, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING LIGHT-EMITTING GLASS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/052514
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a light-emitting glass which is applicable to, e.g., white illuminators including a light-emitting diode as a light source, and which emits light of a warm white color when irradiated with near ultraviolet light and combines long-term weatherability with high heat resistance. Also provided are a light-emitting device equipped with the light-emitting glass and a process for producing the light-emitting glass. The light-emitting glass includes, as the base glass, borosilicate or silicate glass having a separated-phase structure, whereby the base glass is efficiently doped with, for example, transition metal ion clusters which emit light of a warm white color upon irradiation with near ultraviolet light. With this glass, it is possible to attain increases in excitation wavelength and emission wavelength. The glass thus emits, based on a multiple scattering effect, high-intensity light of a warm white color upon irradiation with near ultraviolet light. Furthermore, since the light-emitting glass includes borosilicate or silicate glass, which is a common glass material, as the constituent material, it is possible to inexpensively provide a fluorescent material combining long-term weatherability with respect to ultraviolet rays, etc. with resistance to high temperatures.
