We have already reported orangish yellow Ca–alpha-SiAlON:Eu2+ phosphors, and applied them to fabricate warm white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this letter, we report on greenish yellow Li–alpha-SiAlON:Eu2+ phosphors, and use them to create daylight when coupled to an InGaN blue LED chip (460  nm). The newly discovered Li–alpha-SiAlON:Eu2+ phosphors emit at shorter wavelengths of 573–577  nm under the 460  nm excitation, and exhibit a smaller Stokes shift than Ca–alpha-SiAlON:Eu2+ does. By using this short-wavelength yellow oxynitride phosphor, bright daylight emissions from white LEDs can be generated. Thus, highly efficient white LEDs with tunable white light can be fabricated with alpha-SiAlON:Eu2+ phosphors, enabling them for a wider range of applications. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
