In this paper, a new method to regulate the correlated color temperature (CCT) of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is proposed for the single-chip packaging structure, in which the blue light distribution emitted from the chip in the red/yellow phosphor layer was modulated through changing the paraffin-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film transparence and haze. The results show that the transmittance of the paraffin-PDMS film can be modulated from 49.76% to 97.64%, while the haze of that ranges from 88.19% to 63.10%. When the thickness of paraffin-PDMS film is 0.6 mm, and the paraffin-PDMS film concentration is 30 wt%, the CCT of white LED decreases from 15177 K to 3615 K with the increase of thermal load in the paraffin-PDMS film. The modulating range of its CCT reaches 11562 K. The maximum CCT variation at the same test condition is only 536 K in the repeated experiments within one week.

AbstractThis paper investigates a method for improving the lighting performance of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), packaged using two separating remote phosphor layers, yellow-emitting YAG:Ce phosphor layer and red-emitting α-SrO·3B2O3:Sm2+ phosphor layer. The thicknesses of these two layers are 800 μm and 200 μm, respectively. Both of them have been examined at average correlated color temperatures (CCT) of 7700 K and 8500 K. For this two-layer model, the concentration of red phosphor has been varied from 2 % to 30 % in the upper layer, while in the lower layer the yellow phosphor concentration was kept at 15 %. It was found interesting that the lighting properties, such as color rendering index (CRI) and luminous flux, are enhanced significantly, while the color uniformity is maintained at a level relatively close to the level in one-layer configuration (measured at the same correlated color temperature). Besides, the transmitted and reflected light of each phosphor layer have been revised by combining Kubelka-Munk and Mie-Lorenz theories. Through the analysis, it is demonstrated that the packaging configuration of two-layered remote phosphor that contains red-emitting α-SrO·3B2O3:Sm2+ phosphor particles provides a practical solution to general WLEDs lighting.

Bismuth oxide photocatalysts were synthesized and coated on the front surface of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes to produce a safe and environmentally benign lighting source. Bismuth oxide photocatalyst powders were synthesized with a spray pyrolysis method at 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C. Using the absorption spectrum in the blue and UV regions of the bismuth oxide photocatalysts, the blue light and UV leakage problems of phosphor-converted white LEDs can be significantly reduced. The experimental results showed that bismuth oxide photocatalyst synthesized at 700°C exhibited the most superior spectrum inhibiting ability. The suppressed ratio reached 52.33% in the blue and UV regions from 360 to 420 nm. Related colorimetric parameters and the photocatalyst decomposition ability of fabricated white-light LEDs were tested. The CIE chromaticity coordinates(x,y)were (0.349, 0.393), and the correlated color temperature was 4991 K. In addition, the coating layer of photocatalyst can act as an air purifier and diffuser to reduce glare. A value of66.2±0.60 ppmv of molecular formaldehyde gas can be decomposed in 120 mins.

In this study, we proposed a bell shape phosphor layer geometry and the corresponding dual-step phosphor coating method for enhancing the angular color uniformity (ACU) of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pcLEDs). Numerical simulation based on Volume of Fluid (VOF) model was applied to predict phosphor geometries. Based on the simulated results, experiments were conducted to realize the phosphor geometries. The simulated results show that the VOF model can predict the phosphor geometries with an acceptable geometric deviation within 5%. The experimental results show that compared with the spherical cap phosphor layer geometry, the bell shape geometry can achieve better ACU performance, an optimal bell phosphor layer geometry with equal coating volume above and around the LED chip was achieved, for the corrected color temperature (CCT) of 4000 K, the angular CCT deviation of the optimal geometry is 62 K, while it is 382 K for the spherical cap geometry.

Two types of packaged white light emitting diodes in which one has a flat-top (FT) emitting surface and the other is a flat-top-with-lens (FTWL) type are fabricated by using the same leadframe and investigated on their optical properties, such as optical power, luminous efficiency, correlated color temperature (CCT), chromaticity coordinate, and color-rendering index (CRI), as a function of phosphor concentration in silicone encapsulant. It is found out that the optical power, CRI, and CCT decrease steadily as the phosphor ratio increases, while the luminous efficiency increases up to a level and then drops after a certain value of the phosphor ratio for both types of packages. Due to the totally internal reflection (TIR) at the encapsulant-air interface, the FT package shows a 10∼11% power (in mW) reduction compared with the FTWL package at the same phosphor concentration. However, it is demonstrated that the FT package provides a more efficient way of utilizing phosphor than the FTWL package based on the same targeted chromaticity coordinates due to the TIR effect inside, resulting in a reduced phosphor usage with a lumen output only about 3% lower than that of the FTWL package.

The achievements of multicolor photoluminescent (PL)-emissive carbon dots (CDs), particularly red to near infrared (NIR), are critical for their applications in optoelectronic devices and bioimaging, but it still faces great challenges to date. In this study, PL emission red-shifts were observed when tartaric acid (TA) was added into m-phenylenediamine (mPD) or o-phenylenediamine (oPD) solutions as carbon sources to prepare CDs, i.e., from blue to green for mPD and from yellow-green to red for oPD. Morphology and structure analyses revealed that the increased surface oxidation and carboxylation were responsible for the red-shifts of emission, indicating that TA played a key role in tuning the surface state of CDs. These factors could be employed as effective strategies to adjust PL emissions of CDs. Consequently, multicolor PL CDs (i.e., blue-, green-, yellow-green- and red-emissive CDs) can be facilely prepared using mPD and oPD in the absence and presence of TA. Particularly, the obtained red-emissive CDs showed a high PL quantum yield up to 22.0% and an emission covering red to NIR regions, demonstrating great potentials in optoelectronic devices and bioimaging. Moreover, multicolor phosphors were further prepared by mixing corresponding CDs with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), among which the blue, green, and red ones could serve as three primary color phosphors for fabricating multicolor and white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The white LED was measured to show a Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage (CIE) 1931 chromaticity coordinate of (0.34, 0.32), a high color rendering index (CRI) of 89, and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5850 K, representing one of the best performances of white LEDs based on CDs.

SiO2 nano-particles have been examined in a distant phosphor structure for the elevated luminous quality and better consistency of white light-emitting diodes with angular-dependent associated color temperature (CCT). The luminous scattering ability could be increased by applying SiO2 nano-particles contain silicone to the outside of the phosphorus coating. In specific, the strength of blue light at wide angles is increased and differences in CCT can be minimized. In addition, owing to the sufficient refractive indices of silicone-containing SiO2 nanoparticles between the air and phosphorus layers, the luminous flux was improved. This new configuration decreases angular-dependent CCT deviations in the range of -700 to 700 from 1000 to 420 K. In comparison, at a 120 mA driving current, the rise of lumen flux increased by 2.25% relative to an usual distant phosphor structure without SiO2 nano-particles. As a result, in a distant phosphor structure, the SiO2 nano-particles could not only enhance the uniformity of illumination but also enhance the output of light.

AbstractExploring outstanding rare-earth activated inorganic phosphors with good thermostability has always been a research focus for high-power white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this study, we report a Sm3+-activated KNa4B2P3O13 (KNBP) powder phase. Its particle morphology, photoluminescence properties, concentration quenching mechanism, thermal quenching mechanism, and chromatic properties are demonstrated. Upon the near-ultraviolet (NUV) irradiation of 402 nm, the powder phase exhibits orange-red visible luminescence performance, originating from typical 4G5/2→6HJ/2 (J = 5, 7, 9) transitions of Sm3+. Importantly, the photoluminescence performance has good thermostability, low correlated color temperature (CCT), and high color purity (CP), indicating its promising application in the NUV-pumped warm white LEDs.
