To provide a green phosphor with high conversion efficiency of blue of near-ultraviolet light and excellent color purity, a multinary oxynitride phosphor represented by the general formula [I] is proposed.
M1xBayM2zLuOvNw [I]
In the formula [I], M1 represents Cr, Mn, Fe, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb, M2 represents Sr, Ca, Mg and Zn, L represents metal elements belonging to the fourth group or the fourteenth group of the periodic table, and x, y, z, u, v and w are the numeric values in the following ranges:
0.00001≦x≦3
0≦y≦2.99999
2.6≦x+y+z≦3
0<u≦11
6<v≦25
0<w≦17.
