Abstract

The color uniformity (CU) of chip-on-board (COB) white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) has been improved by using remote phosphor films with two freeform surfaces (TFS-RPFs). The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), Monte Carlo ray-tracing, and color-thickness feedback (CTFB) methods were used to design the TFS-RPFs: the blue light distribution of COB WLEDs is greatly affected by the angular thickness distribution of TFS-RPFs, and a high CU can be achieved iteratively. The directional inconsistency of incident and emergent blue light, scattering effect of TFS-RPFs, and illumination characteristics of the COB source were also investigated. COB WLEDs containing optimized TFS-RPFs achieved high CU with a decrease of 26.2% in maximum CCT deviation; thus, TFS-RPFs can improve the CU of COB WLEDs.
