The new green and red phosphors for PDP application activated by T $b^{3+}$ and E $u^{3+}$ were synthesized, and their photoluminance properties were investigated. It was found that the brightness of $Al_3$Gd $B_4$ $O_{12}$ :T $b^{3+}$ green phosphor under 147nm VUV irradiation was higher than that of commercial Z $n_2$ $SiO_4$:M $n^{2+}$ phosphor. But the emitting intensity of A1$_3$Gd $B_4$ $O^{12}$ :E $u^{3+}$ red phosphor was inferior to the commercial (Y,Gd)B $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$. $Al_3$Gd $B_4$ $O_{12}$ Phosphor had a strong excitation band at 160nm associated with the host absorption, and also the photoluminance excitation intensity of $Al_3$Gd $B_4$ $O_{12}$ :T $b^{3+}$ was higher than that of Z $n_2$ $SiO_4$:M $n^{2+}$, but the intensity of $Al_3$Gd $B_4$ $O_{12}$ :E $u^{3+}$ phosphor was smaller than (Y,Gd)B $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ phosphor In the VUV range. C $e^{3+}$ co-doping in A1$_3$Gd $B_4$ $O^{12}$ :E $u^{3+}$ and substitution of $Al^{3+}$ by G $a^{3+}$ A1$_3$Gd $B_4$ $O^{12}$ :E $u^{3+}$ phosphor were tried, but they did not improved the optical property .d the optical property .ty .

The new green $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Tb^{3+} and red Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Eu_{3+}$ phosphors were synthesized and then characterized their optical properties for PDP application. And also the photoluminescence properties of these phosphors were compared with the commercial green $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+} and (Y,Gd)BO_3: Eu^{3+}$ red PDP phosphors. The phosphors were synthesized by solid state reaction at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 4hr. It was found that the emitting brightness of $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Tb^{3+}$(15mol%) green phosphor under 147nm excitation was higher than that of commercial $Zn_2SiO_4: Mn^{2+}$ green PDP phosphor. However, the color coordinate of this new green phosphor was inferior to the commercial one. On the other hand, the emitting intensity of $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Eu^{3+}$(15mol%) red phosphor was smaller than the $commercial(Y,Gd)BO_3: Eu^{3+}$ red one, but the CIE coordinate was slightly improved. The excitation spectrum showed that $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}$ phosphors had a strong excitation band at $\lambda=160nm$ associated with the host absorption. And the photoluminance excitation (PLE) intensity in VUV range for $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Tb^{3+}$ green phosphor was higher than that of $Zn_2SiO_4: Mn^{2+}$, but the PLE intensity of $Al_3GdB_4O_{12}:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphor was smaller than $(Y,Gd)BO_3: Eu^{3+}$.
