Light conversion structure and light-emitting device using the same
First Claim
1. A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting element for emitting a first light,a first layer of a ceramic composite which comprises a solidified body having formed therein an α
-Al2O3 phase and a Ce-activated Y3Al5O12 (YAG;
Ce) or Tb-activated T3Al5O12 (YAG;
Tb) phase continuously and three-dimensionally entangled with each other, in which said YAG;
Ce or YAG;
Tb phase emits a fluorescence and said α
-Al2O3 phase does not emit a fluorescence and transmits said first light, whereby said first layer absorbs a part of said first light to emit a second light and transmits a part of said first light, anda second layer of a ceramic composite formed on the surface of said first layer for controlling color tone, wherein said ceramic composite of said second layer comprises a solidified body having formed therein a Cr-doped α
-Al2O3 phase and a Y3Al5O12 (YAG) phase continuously and three-dimensionally entangled with each other, whereby said second layer absorbs a part of said first light and/or a part of said second light, emits a third light and transmits a part of said first light and/or a part of said second light,wherein said light emitting device emits said first, second and third lights outward to obtain a desired white color tone light.

Abstract
A light conversion structure ensuring good light transmission and less deterioration and capable of controlling light to a desired color tone and emitting a highly bright light, and a light-emitting device using the same. The light conversion structure is a light conversion structure including a layer formed of a ceramic composite, which absorbs a part of a first light to emit a second light and transmits a part of the first light, and a fluorescent layer for the control of color tone, which is formed on the surface of the ceramic composite and which absorbs a part of the first light or a part of the second light to emit a third light and transmits a part of the first light or a part of the second light, wherein the ceramic composite includes a solidified body where at least two or more metal oxide phases are formed continuously and three-dimensionally entangled with each other, and at least one metal oxide phase in the solidified body includes a metal element oxide capable of emitting fluorescence.
