Synonyms: Cerium activated aluminium garnet; Rare earth doped phosphor; Yellow phosphor
Application: Phosphors are solid inorganic crystalline materials that exhibit luminescence upon excitation. Applications of phosphors extend from bio-imaging/bio-sensors to X-ray detectors, fluorescent lamps, displays, and LEDs. Our YYG series isiphor(R) are yttrium garnet based yellow phosphors whereas the SGA series isiphor(R) are silicate based green phosphors. These materials exhibit >90% quantum efficiency and are well suited for application in backlighting for liquid crystal displays and LEDs.
