As a new host material for a red phosphor for PDP applications, has studied (Y,Gd)$Al_3(BO_3)_4$ which gives non-centrosymmetric sites for $Eu^{3+}$ activators. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation spectrum of new red phosphor (Y,Gd)$Al_3(BO_3)_4$:$Eu^{3+}$ has two broad bands. One band with the absorption edge at ca. 168 nm is the band-gap absorption of aluminoborate and the other broad band centered 240 nm is the charge transfer transition between $Eu^{3+}$ and the neighboring oxygen anions. The PL spectrum shows the strongest emission at 617 nm due to the electric dipole $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$, whose luminescent chromaticity is (0.67, 0.33).
