Li2B4O7 （LBO）:Cu,Ag,Mg phosphors have been prepared by the sintering technique. The roles of the Ag and Mg dopants in the phosphors have been studied using the methods of thermoluminescence （TL） glow curves and TL 3D spectra. The results indicated that proper concentrations of Ag and Mg can enhance the TL of LBO:Cu. It was also indicated that the intensity of TL peak at 130℃ is reduced with the in- creasing Ag concentration, and enhanced with the increasing Mg concentration. From the TL 3D spectra, three emission bands （λ1 = 421 nm, λ2 = 380 nm, λ3 = 350 nm） were observed: the intensity of low energy emission band is reduced and that of the high energy is enhanced with the increasing dopant Ag; on the contrary, the intensity of low energy emission band is enhanced and that of the high energy one is reduced with the increasing dopant Mg.
