This study presents the light-spectrum modification of warm white-light-emitting diodes (w-WLEDs) with 3D colloidal photonic crystals (3D CPhCs) to approximate candlelight. The study measures the angular-resolved transmission properties of the w-WLEDs with CPhCs, which exhibit photonic stop bands based on the CPhC photonic band structures. The w-WLEDs with 3D CPhCs produce a low correlated color temperature of 1963 K, a high color-rendering index of 85, and a luminous flux of 22.8 lm (four times that of a candle). This study presents the successful development of a novel low-cost technique to produce candlelight w-WLEDs for use as an indoor light source.

The fabrication of fluorescence polymer/InGaN hybrid light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit highly bright broadband red light is presented in this Letter. The absorption peak of the fluorescence polymer was 455 nm, and the emission peak was 640 nm. The light output power and external quantum efficiency of hybrid LEDs at a driving current of 100 mA were 46.6 mW and 24.1%, respectively. The emission spectrum of hybrid LEDs was located at a wavelength of 641 nm, with a broadband FWHM of 106 nm. Thus this study offers potential methods for enhancing the output power of commercial white-light-emitting devices.

This study demonstrated an efficient red-light emission based on fluorescence polymer/InGaN hybrid light-emitting diodes (FABD LEDs). For the FABD LEDs, the output power, external quantum efficiency, and CIE (x, y) coordinates at 100mA are 46.6 mW, 16. 0%, and (0.646, 0.334), respectively. In comparison with the output power for FABD LEDs and AlGaInP LEDs, that enhanced the light output power by an approximate 26.6%.
