Abstract

The K<sub>3</sub>LuSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> phosphor doping Eu2+ rare-earth ions (KLS:Eu) was reported to possess broad emission band from near-ultraviolet to nearinfrared. Additionally, this phosphor showed a wide absorption band of 250-600 nm, allowing it to be excited by blue-light chip of 460 nm, making it one of the suitable phosphor materials for a light emitting diode (LED). Besides, the scattering particle material CaCO<sub>3</sub> is incorporated into the yellow phosphor layer to serve the scattering-enhancement purpose. The combination of both materials aims at accomplishing improvements in performance of commercial LED package. The concentration of KLS:Eu is constant while that of CaCO3 is modified. As a result, the scattering factor is regulated and become the key factor influencing the optical outputs of the simulated LED. The increasing CaCO<sub>3</sub> concentration enhances the phosphor scattering efficiency of light, helping to improve the lumen output and color-temperature consistency of the LED. However, the color rendering performance declines as a function of the CaCO3 growing amount, despite the presence of a KLS:Eu phosphor layer. Further works should be done to optimize the application of KLS:Eu in cooperation with scattering particles for a higher-quality LED device.
