White
light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) based on phosphor and quantum
dots (QDs) have attracted worldwide attention. Phosphor and QDs with
different physical characteristics are distributed unevenly in a polymer
matrix, resulting in the spectrum changes of the phosphor-QD-based
WLEDs (PQ-WLEDs). Aiming for a similar distribution of QDs and phosphor
in the matrix, we proposed the phosphor/SiO2/QD (PSQ) composite
particles in which negatively charged QDs are electrostatically adsorbed
on the surface of phosphor particles decorated with positively charged
SiO2. The PSQ composite particles retained a high quantum
yield of 77.6%. PSQ-WLEDs with varied standing times of the uncured
PSQ-added silicone showed stable spectra with stable optical parameters.
For comparison, the spectra of PQ-WLEDs with untreated phosphor and
QDs obviously changed with the standing time. Specifically, the LE,
CCT, and CRI of PSQ-WLEDs using Dow corning OE 180 silicone only changed
by 1.7, 3.3, and 3.9%, respectively, after a long sufficient standing
time; however, the LE, CCT, and CRI of PQ-WLEDs using the same silicone
changed by 9, 5.4, and 10%, respectively. This optical instability
in PQ-WLEDs resulted from the difference between the distribution
of phosphor and QDs in the mixed silicone matrix after standing. However,
the distribution of phosphor and QDs in PSQ-WLEDs was always the same
with each other due to the composite structure. Applying the PSQ composite
particles in WLEDs, we can easily attain highly optical consistent
phosphor-QD-based WLEDs and provide an efficient control of product
quality.
