1. A phosphor which comprises a phosphor material having a composition represented by a general formula:

  • M(0)aM(1)bM(2)x−

    (vm+n)
    M(3)(vm+n)−

    y
    OnNz−

    n
    , whereinM(0) is one or more elements selected from Li, Na, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, La, Gd, and Lu;

    M(1) Eu;

    M(2) is one or more elements selected from Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Hf and Zr;

    M(3) is one or more elements selected from Be, B, Al, Ga, In, Tl and Zn;

    O is oxygen;

    N is nitrogen; and

    an atomic ratio of M(0), M(1), M(2), M(3), O and N is adjusted to satisfy the following;

    x, y and z satisfy 33≦

    x≦

    51, 8≦

    y≦

    12 and 36≦

    z≦

    56;

    a and b satisfy 3≦

    a+b≦

    7 and 0.001≦

    b≦

    1.2;

    m and n satisfy 0.8 ·

    me≦

    m≦

    1.2 ·

    me and 0≦

    n≦

    7 in which me=a+b; and

    v satisfies v={a·

    v(0)+b·

    v(1)}/(a+b), wherein v(0) is a valence of M(0) ion and v(1) is a valence of M(1) ion, andwherein the phosphor emits 480 to 540-nm light.
