Abstract
Color temperature constancy and color temperature maintenance are key issues in the context of the utilization of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for general lighting applications. For a systematic improvement, it is imperative to understand how compositional, optical and thermal properties of the color conversion elements (CCE), which typically consist of phosphor particles embedded in a transparent matrix material, affect the constancy of a desired color temperature of a white LED source under operation. In particular, thermal stress, like a distinct thermal load of the CCEs under operation may also cause notable color shifts. In order to gain a better understanding of the thermal behavior of CCEs under operation, in this contribution we give by means of a combined optical and thermal simulation procedure a comprehensive discussion on the impact of different CCE shapes and sizes on their thermal responses.
