Popis: In recent years, luminous coated fabrics based on SrAl _2 O _4 : Eu ^2+ , Dy ^3+ luminescent materials have attracted more attention. However, due to the single emission color of SrAl _2 O _4 : Eu ^2+ , Dy ^3+ luminescent materials, the application of prepared coated fabrics has certain liminations. Therefore, at present, there is a need to develop a kind of luminous coated fabric which has the capability of emitting multiple colors of light. In this work, fluorescent pigments and SrAl _2 O _4 : Eu ^2+ , Dy ^3+ luminescent materials were added to a coating slurry and uniformly coated over a woven fabric substrate. The effects of adding fluorescent pigments on the spectral characteristics of luminous coated fabrics were evaluated. The blue fluorescent pigment causes a significant blue shift in the emission spectrum of the blue light-emitting coated fabric, whereas the emission spectra of the orange and red light-emitting coated fabrics exhibit a significant red shift. The yellow-green fluorescent pigments significantly affect the coated fabric. The emission spectrum shows no evident change and is similar to the emission spectrum of white (without any fluorescent pigment) luminescent coated fabric. The afterglow brightness of the colored luminous coated fabrics decreases exponentially with time. Adding blue fluorescent pigments has a greater impact on the brightness of the coated fabrics. The initial brightness is lower and the afterglow brightness loss is higher when using yellow-green fluorescence. The pigment has little effect on the brightness loss of coated fabrics, and the initial brightness of the coated fabric increases when adding yellow-green fluorescent pigments. Fluorescent pigments result in relatively low color purity for each colored coated fabric. However, the color rendering index is high, and the color rendering performance for the light source is excellent.
