Increasing Optical Performance of the 7000 K, 8500 K Remote Packaging WLEDs by the Red-emitting α-SrO·3B2O3:Sm2+ Conversion Phosphor

Abstract

In this paper, by mixing the red-emitting α-SrO·3B2O3:Sm2+ conversion phosphor to yellow-emitting YAG:Ce phosphor compound, an innovative recommendation for increasing optical performance of white LEDs (WLEDs) with remote packaging, which has an average correlated color temperature (CCT) of 700K and 8500K, is proposed and demonstrated. By varying α-SrO·3B2O3:Sm2+ concentration from 2% to 24 %, the obtained results indicated that color uniformity, color rendering index (CRI), color quality scale (CQS), and luminous flux could be improved significantly. The results demonstrated a prospective recommendation for manufacturing remote packaging phosphor WLEDs.
