A fluorescent material of small size is prepared by synthesizing a fluorescent material of predetermined molecular structure in a single phase, pulverizing the fluorescent material thus produced and then heat treating the pulverized material under conditions sufficient to recover the luminance characteristics which were lost as a result of pulverizing.

Tb4O7 wa~ used as the Rtarting material for forming one mol of Y3Al5O12 : Tb~ Tb~mol) t (Y + ~b~(mol) ~ j. The powders were mlxe~ and ~intered using 20 mol % BaF2 as a flu~. The sintering ocGurred at 1350 ~o 1600C ~or to hours, preferably, at 1500C
~or two hours, to obtain Y3A15O12: ~b. ~ methoa a6 disclosed in ~apanese Laid-Open Application No. Sho 58~57491 can be applied to the ~ynthe~is of Y3A15O12 : ~b, in which case the acid or alkali washing procedure after the ~ynthesis can be dispensed with.
The thus obtained Y3AlsO12 : Tb in the mono-phase was pulveri~ed as the ~econd ~tep. In the pulverization stage, the following mixture was charged into a 101iter ~olume polyethylene bottl~:

Then, 110 9 o~ BaF2 a~ the 1ux were added ~o the pulverization product and ~ubjected to ball mill pulverization fo~ an additional hour. Then, the balls we~e removed, and ~he products were filtered and dried.

Then, ~n acld ox ~lkali wa~hing treatment was applied to remove the residu~l ~lux.

~ 6~379 The fluorescen~ material thu~ obtained showed no ~ubstan~ial reduction ln the luminance a~ compared to the luminance o the originally synthe~ized mono-phase fluorescent ma~eriaL despite the treatment in the pulverization step. Taking an ~mission luminance o the fluorescent materi~l after the first step in the example a~ 100~, it was determined that the luminAnce was lowered to 70~ after ~he ~econd ~tep, but recovered ~o about g9.5~ a~ter the third ~tep.
FI~S. 1, 2 and 3 are en7arged views illus~ra~ing, re~pectively, the sta~e of particle~ after the ~irs~ synthesis ~tep, the ~ec~nd ~tep-o~ pulverizing, and the third, heat treat~n~ step obtained from a ~cannlng type electron micro~copic photograph.

61~3~9 It can be ~een that although the particle ~ize of the fluore~cent material can be reduced to less than one-half ~hat which exists in ~he mono-phase synthesis, there is no ~ubstantial r~duc~lQn in the lumi~ance due to pulverization under the ~ondition~ of Example 1.
~ n the method ~ preparing the ~luorescent material of small particle ~ize according to th~ presen~ i~vention, it ha~
been observed that if the pulveri~i~g ~tep in, for example, a ball mill i~ ca~ried out or to~ long, abno~m~lly grown large particle6 are genera~ed as a result of the hea~ treatment.
