A three-layered phosphor structure was designed and prepared by the spin coating of BaSi2N2O2:Eu (cyan-emitting) and (Sr,Ca)AlSiN3:Eu (red-emitting) phosphor films on the yellow-emitting Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce) phosphor ceramic synthesized by the solid-state reaction under vacuum sintering. In order to achieve high color rendering lighting, the influence of the composition and structure of the three-layered phosphors on the optical, thermal, and electrical properties of the chip-on-board (COB) packaged white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) was studied systematically. The WLED with the structure of “red+cyan+yellow” (R+C+Y) three-layered phosphor generated neutral white light and had a luminous efficacy of 75 lm/W, the fidelity index (Rf) of 93, the gamut index (Rg) of 97, and the correlated color temperature (CCT) of 3852 K. Under the excitation of laser diode (LD), the layer-structured phosphor yielded the white light with a luminous efficacy of 120 lm/W, color rendering index (CRI) of 90, and CCT of 5988 K. The result indicates that the three-layered phosphor structure is a promising candidate to achieve high color rendering and high luminous efficacy lighting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
