The dashed black line indicates the excitation spectrum, while the solid red line represents the emission spectrum, highlighting peak intensities at specific wavelengths.

TriGain® – Narrow-Band Red Phosphor

TriGain® is Current Chemicals’ patented potassium fluorosilicate: Mn4+ (KSF/PFS) red phosphor, designed for wide color gamut displays and high-CRI lighting (631nm emission peak). Our patented TriGrain® KSF Phosphor delivers higher absorption and improved reliability compared with standard KSF.

Graph illustrating excitation and emission spectra, with excitation shown as a dashed black line and emission represented by a solid green line, plotted against wavelength in nanometers from 300 to 700 nm. The emission spectrum peaks around 500 nm, indicating the wavelength of maximum light emission.

JADEluxe™ – Narrow-Band Green Phosphor

JADEluxe™ is a narrow-band green (NBG) phosphor for wide color gamut displays. JADEluxe™ emission peak wavelength can be tailored to customer needs ranging from 533nm to 544nm.
