Green-emitting phosphors based on lanthanum-gadolinium oxybromide were synthesized in a single phase form by the conventional solid state reaction method, and photoluminescence properties of them were characterized. The excitation peak wavelength of (La1-xGdx)OBr:Tb3+ shifted to the shorter wavelength side with the increase in the crystal field around the Tb3+ ions by doping Gd3+ ions into the La3+ site, and, as a result, the green emission intensity was successfully enhanced. The maximum emission intensity was obtained for (La0.95Gd0.05)OBr:5%Tb3+, where the relative emission intensity was 45% of that of a commercial green-emitting LaPO4:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphor.
