YAlO:Ce phosphor-in-glass (PiG) thin film on soda-lime silicate glass substrate has been applied using screen-printing method for generation of white LED light in modern day lighting. In this work, a glass composition in a ZnO-BiO-BO system has been optimized to have low softening temperature, as well as matching the refractive index with that of YAlO:Ce phosphor. The sintering of the PiG layers was performed at a relatively low temperature of 560°C to avoid the chemical degradation of the phosphors.

Precursor glass of composition 25K(2)O-25Nb(2)O(5)-50SiO(2) (mol%) doped with Er(2)O(3) (0.5 wt% in excess) was isothermally crystallized at 800 degrees C for 0-100 h to obtain transparent KNbO(3) nanostructured glass-ceramics. XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIRRS, dielectric constant, refractive index, absorption and fluorescence measurements were carried out to analyze the morphology, dielectric, structure and optical properties of the glass-ceramics.
