Abstract
Nowadays, red-emitting phosphors based on Mn4+ doped fluorides with a high color purity and a relatively short decay time can improve the optical performance of WLED. However, they are easily oxidized in humid environment and elevated temperatures. This is the reason why both the brightness and luminous efficiency of WLED quikly decreased. To solve this problem, KF was added throughout the K3AlF6:Mn4+ phosphor synthesis process (KKAFM). This work is focused on aging evaluation of the phosphors and comparing its performance with commercial phosphors (YAG:Ce3+, Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+). Thus, EL spectra of blue LED chips coated with the phosphors were investigated over time in an environment of 85 % RH and 85 oC. The results of EL spectra showed the improvement in the the reduction of the emission intensity of KKAFM. Aging tests of WLEDs using KKAFM and Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ indicated that KKAFM phosphors exhibited a good stability, thus they can be used as a potential replacement for commercial red-emitting phosphors in WLEDs fabrication.
