The invention relates to a low temperature preparation method of 
yttrium aluminum garnet 
rare earth phosphor powder. The 
rare earth phosphor powder is formed by material expressed by a general formula Y3-xMxAl5-yGayO12, wherein M is Ce or Tb or Ce and Gd, x is 
molar number of M and is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.08, y is 
molar number of Ga and is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.8, and the preparation method thereof comprises pretreatment of raw materials, mixing, 
sintering and the like. The 
raw material is easy to be evenly mixed and 
sintering temperature is low during preparation in the invention. The prepared 
phosphor powder has high brightness, spherical or near spherical shape, controllable powder particle size, even powder particle surface and good luminous performance through test; and the 
wavelength of emitting light thereof is not changed so as to greatly improve screen 
coating effect and luminous performance of devices when being applied to different devices, thus being applicable to field emission displays, projection televisions and LED devices, flying-
spot scanning displays and the fields with high requirement on screen 
coating effect, luminous brightness and luminous efficiency of the phosphor powder.
