Among the structures using for fabricating white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) such as the conformal coating or in-cup geometries, the remote phosphor structure gives the highest luminous efficacy. However, in terms of color quality, its performance is not as good as the others. The red-light compensation has been reported as the effective solution for enhancing the color quality of WLEDs. Hence, this study adopted the idea and applied to the dual-layer phosphor structure. The phosphor used to boost the red color in light formation is (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu particle. The dual-layer remote phosphor structure was simulated with the red (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu phosphor layer above the original yellow phosphor YAG:Ce3+ one. The WLEDs with different correlated color temperatures of 5600 K, 6600 K and 7700K were experimented. Mie-theory and Lambert-Beer law were applied to examine the results. The growth in color rendering index (CRI) and color quality scale (CQS) with the increase of (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu phosphor concentration was observed. Nevertheless, the lumen efficacy would be degraded if the concentration was over a certain number. The information provided in this article is useful for the development of high-power WLED production with greater color quality.

Manufacturing Procedure

Improving lighting performance of WLEDs, especially the color quality, has always been a priority in lighting researches. Recently, the conventional remote phosphor configuration is unable to fulfill the needs of the modern lighting market, particularly the high color expression demand has inspired the search for a novel manufacturing procedure. In this study, based on the results from previous studies, the struggles in enhancing lighting performances are pointed out, and a solution, the dual-layer remote phosphor, is proposed from our conducted experiments. Through experiments with NaYF4:Er3+;Yb3+ and Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ phosphors, the dual-layer phosphor is proven to be effective in improving lighting properties such as color rendering index (CRI) and color quality scale (CQS). The research method involves structuring and experimenting with the phosphor configuration of the yellow phosphor YAG:Ce3+ layer with a green NaYF4:Er3+;Yb3+ or a red Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ phosphor layer whose phosphor concentrations are varied. The results show that the red phosphor Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ particles benefit the CRI and CQS because the values of CRI and CQS increase with red phosphor Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ concentration. On the other hand, the green phosphor NaYF4:Er3+;Yb3+ is inferior in improving CRI and CQS but exhibits better luminous flux. Despite being useful in enhancing lighting performance, the phosphor concentration must be kept below a certain level, which will be mentioned in the article, to prevent damages. These results are verified using Mie scattering theory and Lambert-Beer's law and can be utilized in producing WLEDs with high lighting quality. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

Abstract Usually, remote phosphor structures are beneficial in terms of flux but unfavorable in terms of color quality compared to conformal phosphor or in-cup phosphor packages. To eliminate this disadvantage, many studies have focused on increasing the chromatic quality of the remote phosphor configuration, which requires great efforts in improving two parameters of color: color rendering index (CRI) and color quality scale (CQS). CRI is known as the most useful quantitative method used to measure the ability of a light source to reproduce the colors of illuminated objects faithfully and naturally. Similarly, CQS is also a method of lighting quality determination and analysis, especially used as an alternative to the unsaturated CRI colors. In this paper, we proposed dual-layer remote phosphor structure as a novel method of CRI and CQS enhancement to improve WLEDs’ color quality. Five alike WLEDs but having different color temperatures in the range of 5600 K to 8500 K were applied in this study. The idea behind the study is to place a red phosphor layer SrwFxByOz:Eu2+,Sm2+ on the yellow phosphor layer YAG:Ce3+ and then determining an appropriate concentration of SrwFxByOz:Eu2+,Sm2+ added to achieve the highest color quality. The results point out that SrwFxByOz:Eu2+,Sm2+ brings great benefits to the improvement of CRI and CQS parameters. Specifically, the higher the SrwFxByOz:Eu2+,Sm2+ concentration results in the greater CRI and CQS, owning to the enriched red light components in the WLEDs. However, the flux has a tendency of dropping when SrwFxByOz:Eu2+,Sm2+ concentration rises excessively. This has been proved by using the Mie-scattering theory and the Lambert-Beer law. The results of this article are essential references for manufacturing WLEDs with higher chromatic quality.

This article is the analysis of SiO2 nano-particles’ influences on the luminous efficiency and the color temperature uniformity of a remote phosphor structure in a WLED. The purpose of integrating SiO2 into the silicone layer in the remote phosphor structure is to significantly promote the scattering occurrences. Particularly, with an appropriate proportion of SiO2, there could be more blue lights generated at large angles, leading to reducing the angular-dependent color temperature deviation. The luminous flux also can get benefits from SiO2 addition owing to a proper air-phosphor layer refractive index ratio provided by this SiO2/silicone compound. The attained experimental results were compared with optical values of a non-SiO2 remote phosphor configuration and showed a notable enhancement. The color deviation was reduced by approximately 600 K in the angles from -700 ­to 700. Additionally, the lumen efficiency was improved by 2.25% at 120 mA driving current. Hence, SiO2 can be used to boost both color uniformity and luminous efficacy for remote-phosphor WLED.

With the development of high-efficiency and high-power LEDs, they have become the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly artificial light source. Phosphor-converted white LEDs are currently mainstream in the market. The remote phosphor is an effective way to enhance the conversion efficiency and lifetime of phosphor-converted LEDs. For applications of high-quality lighting and LCD backlights, the uniformity of angular correlated color temperature (CCT) is very important. This report explored a remote phosphor white LED with low angular CCT variance and high luminous efficiency by using TiO2 diffuser-loaded encapsulation. Experimental results revealed that for the TiO2 diffuser-loaded encapsulation remote phosphor white LED, the angular color uniformity could be improved by 31.82% and the luminous flux by 8.65%. Moreover, the mean CCTs of the TiO2 diffuser-loaded encapsulation and non-diffuser remote phosphor white LEDs were similar at a driving current of 350 mA. Finally, we showed that incorporating the TiO2 diffuser into the phosphor layer of the remote phosphor white LEDs, does not influence the reliability of the LED.

The effects of red light-emitting phosphor CaMgSi2O6:Eu2+,Mn2+ on the optical properties of single-layer remote phosphor structure (SRPS) and dual-layer remote phosphor structure (DRPS) are the focus of this study. The differences in color quality and luminous flux (LF) of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) between these two structures are also revealed and demonstrated based on the Mie theory. SRPS consists of one mixed phosphor layer betweenCaMgSi2O6:Eu2+,Mn2+ andYAG:Ce3+particles, while DRPS includes two separated layers: red phosphor layer and yellow phosphor layer. In this work, 5% SiO2 is added into the phosphor layers to increase scattering abilities. Discrepancies in structures greatly affect the optical characteristics of WLEDs. The results showed that the color rendering index (CRI) increased with the concentration in both structures with nearly equal values. Meanwhile, color quality scale (CQS) of DPRS is 74 at ACCTs ranging from 5600K to 8500K, higher than CQS of SRPS which is only 71 at 8500K. In addition, the luminous flux of DRPS is significantly higher than SRPS at 2% -14% of CaMgSi2O6:Eu2+,Mn2+. In summary, DRPS is better for color quality and lumen outputin comparison to SRPS and adding the right amount of red phosphor can enhance CQS and LF.
