(Ca,Sr)2Al2SiO7:Eu3+ phosphors are effectively excited by near-UV light (396 nm).
Sr2−xAl2SiO7:xEu3+ is a more efficient red phosphor compared to Ca2−xAl2SiO7:xEu3+.
Sr1.88Al2SiO7:0.12Eu3+ is optimal composition for obtaining strong and pure red light.
Sr1.88Al2SiO7:0.12Eu3+ is a promising red-emitting phosphor for LED.
