Abstract
A phosphor with high efficiency having an excitation band corresponding to light of the ultraviolet-visible (300 to 550 nm) wavelength region emitted from a light emitting element which emits blue or ultraviolet light is provided. Commercially available CaO [3N], Si3N4 [3N], and Eu2O3 [3N] are prepared, respective materials are weighed and mixed to have a mol ratio of CaO:Si3N4:Eu2O3=1.4775:1:0.01125, and then the mixture is heated to 1600° C. by a heating rate of 15° C./min under a nitrogen atmosphere and retained and fired at 1600° C. for three hours. Thereafter, the raw materials are cooled down from 1600° C. to 200° C. for an hour to thereby produce a phosphor having a composition formula Ca1.58Si3O1.63N4.35:Eu0.024.
