A light-emitting device including a solid-state light source that emits light having a peak wavelength in the range of 480 nm or less and a fluorescent film that covers the solid-state light source and includes at least one kind of phosphor, wherein the fluorescent film includes at least one kind of near-infrared phosphor that is excited by light from the solid-state light source, has a peak wavelength in the range exceeding 700 nm, and has an emission spectrum with a full width at half maximum of 100 nm or more in a range including the peak wavelength.

A random number generation method and random number generator using a ZnS scintillator. The random number generator includes: a radioisotope emission layer emitting an alpha particle or a beta particle that is emitted when an atomic nucleus decays; a polymer layer disposed under the radioisotope emission layer; an inorganic scintillator layer disposed between the radioisotope emission layer and the polymer layer and applied with an inorganic scintillator substance; and a wafer layer disposed under the polymer layer and including a photodiode detecting light produced from the inorganic scintillator layer.

A premixed photoluminescent composition and related hardened form and method of forming joints for pavers or stones. The premixed photoluminescent composition comprises solid aggregates; a photoluminescent particulate component adapted to emit light when photoexcited; and a binder. When in contact with an activator, oxygen or water, the binder is adapted to harden into a water-resistant binder matrix that bonds the solid aggregates and embeds the photoluminescent particulate component. In use, the water-resistant binder matrix has a transparency allowing transmission of at least a portion of the light emitted by the photoluminescent particulate component.

A white LED lamp including: a conductive portion; a light emitting diode chip mounted on the conductive portion, for emitting a primary light having a peak wavelength of 360 nm to 420 nm; a transparent resin layer including a first hardened transparent resin, for sealing the light emitting diode chip; and a phosphor layer covering the transparent resin layer, the phosphor layer being formed by dispersing a phosphor powder into a second hardened transparent resin, and the phosphor powder receiving the primary light and radiating a secondary light having a wavelength longer than that of the primary light. An energy of the primary light contained in the radiated secondary light is 0.4 mW/lm or less.

The present invention provides a CuInS.sub.2/In.sub.2S.sub.3/ZnS fluorescent quantum dot with a double-layer core-shell structure, aiming to overcome the defects of the existing CuInS.sub.2 quantum dots. CuInS.sub.2 serves as a core, In.sub.2S.sub.3 serves as a first shell for cladding the core, and ZnS serves as a second shell for cladding the first shell. The present invention further provides a preparation method for the CuInS.sub.2/In.sub.2S.sub.3/ZnS fluorescent quantum dot with a double-layer core-shell structure. The CuInS.sub.2 quantum dot is synthesized using two stabilizers, and indium thiophosphate serves as a monomolecular precursor of the In.sub.2S.sub.3 shell.
