Lutetium-Aluminium (LuAG) Phosphor Powder Description
LuAG possesses a stable crystal structure, and due to its high atomic number, Lu demonstrates increased stopping power for high-energy radiation. This material is used as a scintillation matrix.
Our LED phosphors assist LCD manufacturers in producing screens with a wide colour gamut. They provide screens with improved colour accuracy and supply materials compatible with high-performance optical filters. The LED phosphor series meets specific stability and efficiency metrics. This series may be used in red LED enclosures or combined with other red or yellow phosphors for warm white or specialised LED lights.
