WLEDs were the potential materials for significantly improving lighting efficiency, resulting in reduction of the excitation energy and also reduction in pollution from fossil fuel power plants. To enhance the quality of white-light, the researches on single-component phosphor are very much essential. Green light emitting phosphors are widely used in solid state lighting technology. Tb3+ ions are doped into different hosts and they are excited by UV or NUV light to emit green light. This review presents, different hosts like silicates, oxides, phosphates and titanates based Tb3+ ions doped phosphor. Attempts were made to analyse preparation technique and photoluminescence characteristics of phosphors. Finally potential material among selected materials is identified for light emitting display device applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
