A borate compound was adopted as a new host material of Eu{sup 3+} and Tb{sup 3+} activators to fabricate efficient luminescence materials. The phosphor compositions, Gd{sub 1-x}Eu{sub x}Ca{sub 3}(GaO){sub 3}(BO{sub 3}){sub 4} and Gd{sub 1-x}Tb{sub x}Ca{sub 3}(GaO){sub 3}(BO{sub 3}){sub 4}, were synthesized by conventional solid-state reactions. The crystalline phases of the resulting powders were identified using an X-ray diffraction system. Their photoluminescence properties were investigated under long-wavelength UV excitation. The Eu{sup 3+}-doped and Tb{sup 3+}-doped GdCa{sub 3}(GaO){sub 3}(BO{sub 3}){sub 4} phosphors efficiently emitted red and green light, respectively. The temperature dependency of emission intensity was measured in a range from room temperature to 150 deg. C. The emission intensities of the red and green phosphors at 150 deg. C are 87% and 91% of those at room temperature, respectively. In addition, the decay times of both the red and green phosphors are shorter than 3 ms.
