Selection of Remote Phosphor Led Packages for Improving Luminous Flux

Abstract

In this paper, the first issue presented and analyzed by several experiments is the influence of the distance between phosphor layers in the dual-layer and triple-layer remote package on luminous flux and color rendering property. During the simulation, it was realized that it was possible to create a suitable distance to create higher quality white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) by adjusting the distance between the phosphor layers. According to the study results, 0.1 mm is the most reasonable distance between two phosphor layers so that the performance of the multi-chip white light LED (MCW LED) can get the best optimal effect. Through a series of experiments, it has been proved that the efficiency of the two-layer structure gives optical properties higher than the three-layer structure related to distance. The highest achievable lumen output is 0.6 mm for the triple-layer structure and 0.1 mm for dual-layer structure. Meanwhile, the color rendering index changes insignificantly when the distance increases. The triple-layer package is not practical for high-power white LEDs due to the high cost and low conversion efficiency. The dual-layer remote phosphor package with a 0.1 mm phosphorus gap is the optimal structure of WLED in improving luminous efficiency and color rendering index.
