Abstract

Disclosed is a method for applying a continuous protective coating to the surface of individual phosphor particles. The method involves chemical vapor deposition of the protective coating on individual particles of a phosphor powder while the phosphor particles are suspended in a fluidized bed. During the method, the fluidized particles are exposed to the vaporized coating precursor material at a first temperature, which is less than the decomposition temperature of the precursor material, and the precursor material is reacted to form the desired coating material at a second temperature, which is greater than or equal to the temperature at which the precursor material reacts to form the coating material.
