BaMgAl 10 O 17 :Eu 2+ for PDP blue phosphor was synthesized using SHS(Self-propagating High temperature Synthesis) method. While Al metal powder was oxidized in this combustion, Eu 2 O 3 was reduced to Eu2+. Therefore the mole ratio of Al/Al 2 O 3 is one of the most important variable of the reaction. When Al/Al 2 O 3 is 2.5/3.75, it has not only appropriate temperature and reaction velocity, but also excellent luminescent property. The sample synthesized in this system has similar characteristics comparing to sample using conventional solid-state reaction.
