Thermal Remote Phosphor Coating for Phosphor-Converted White-Light-Emitting Diodes

We demonstrated a thermal remote phosphor coating method for realizing high angular color uniformity (ACU) and high efficiency of phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diodes based on thermal control. The proposed phosphor-coating method can fabricate remote phosphor layer geometries through a simple package process. Experimental results show that compared with those samples packaged by conventional dispensing coating, this method can efficiently improve the ACU. Angular color-correlated temperature (CCT) deviation of the test samples by the present method can reduce from 1100 to 90 K for an average CCT of 4300 K from −90° to +90° view angles, and the CCT distributions are 150 and 250 K for average CCTs of 5300 and 6300 K, respectively. In addition, this method can improve the lumen efficiency by 4.45% for an average CCT of about 4300 K, and increased by 4.96% and 5.45% for average CCTs of 5300 and 6300 K, respectively.
