Abstract

The present invention provides an efficient red fluorescent material and a method for producing the same, provides a white light source and an illuminating device each of which uses this red fluorescent material to achieve snow-white lighting, and furthermore provides a liquid crystal display having excellent color reproduction. The red fluorescent material contains an element (A), europium (Eu), silicon (Si), carbon (C), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N), at an atomic ratio of the following in compositional formula (1).[A(m-x)Eux][Si(9-y)Cy]OnN[12-2(n-m)/3]Note that, in the compositional formula (1), element A is group 2 element including at least calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr). Also, note that, in the composition formula (1), m, x, y, and n satisfy 3<m<5, 0<x<1, 0<y<9, and 0<n<10, respectively.Such red fluorescent material is able to improve quantum efficiency, compared with a red fluorescent material which does not contain calcium (Ca) but contains strontium (Sr) as the element A.
