Abstract

Currently, the major commercial white light-emitting diode (WLED) is the phosphor-converted LED made of the InGaN blue-emitting chip and the Ce3+:Y3Al5O12 (Ce:YAG) yellow phosphor dispersed in organic epoxy resin or silicone. However, the organic binder in high-power WLED may age easily and turn yellow due to the accumulated heat emitted from the chip, which adversely affects the WLED properties such as luminous efficacy and color coordination, and therefore reduces its long-term reliability as well as lifetime. Herein, an innovative luminescent material: transparent Ce:YAG phosphor-in-glass (PiG) inorganic color converter, is developed to replace the conventional resin/silicone-based phosphor converter for…
