Abstract:

High power light emitting diode (HP-LED) as solid-state Lighting (SSL) is a promising light source, and one of the important factors for its wide acceptance is its reliability. [1]Temperature and humidity are two key factors which affect the reliability of HP-LED. Based on the three-dimension model of Multi-chips integrated module LED (MCIM-LED), the effects of temperature and humidity on the reliability of HP-LED are numerically investigated in this paper. The status of thermal conduction and humidity diffusion and the distribution of thermal stress and humidity stress are obtained by the simulation of thermal and humidity respectively. The temperature field reaches equilibrium state in short time, while the stable time of humidity field is dozens of day. In the normal working status, the humidity stress is less than the thermal stress. The results suggest that thermal stress plays a dominant role can be used for the further study on the effects of thermal-humidity coupled on the reliability of HP-LED.
