$Y_{1-x}BO_3:Ce_x^{3+}$ ceramic phosphors were synthesized with changing the concentration of $Ce^{3+}$ ion by using a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and optical properties of the blue phosphors were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectrophotometry, respectively. The XRD results showed that the main peak of the phosphor powders occurs at (401)와 ($31\bar{2}$) planes. As for the optical properties, the excitation spectrum occurred at 243 nm and the value of blue emission intensity peaking at 469 nm reached the maximum when the concentration of $Ce^{3+}$ ion was 0.10 mol.
