Ca-doped BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+,Mn2+(BAM) blue phosphors were synthesized by flux assisted solid-state reaction method using CaF2 and BaF2 as co-flux. Good dispersity and particle size homogenization of hexagonal pure phase BAM were obtained by sintering at 1400 °C. The effects of the Ca2+ions content on the structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of the phosphors were studied. The results indicated that the incorporation of Ca could decrease the lattice constant, improve the homogene-ity and dispersity and enhance the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the phosphor effectively. The optimum Ba0.86Ca0.04Mg0.97Al10O17:0.1Eu2+,0.03Mn2+PL intensity was enhanced for about 30%and relative brightness was improved about 4%. Furthermore, the synthesized BAM and commercial BAM phosphors were annealed for 30 min at 600 oC in air. The Ca-doped phos-phors had stronger emission intensity, higher brightness and better chromaticity stability than that of the commercial phosphor. These results indicated that Ca-doped blue phosphors had good potential applications in the commercial tricolor fluorescent lamps as well as in other display and lamps.
