WAVELENGTH CONVERSION FOR PRODUCING WHITE LIGHT FROM HIGH POWER BLUE LED

摘要

A white light LED is described that uses an LED die that emits visible blue light in a wavelength range of about 450-470 nm. A red phosphor or quantum dot material converts some of the blue light to a visible red light having a peak wavelength between about 605-625 nm with a full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) less than 80 nm. A green phosphor or quantum dot material converts some of the blue light to a green light having a FWHM greater than 40 nm, wherein the combination of the blue light, red light, and green light produces a white light providing a color rendering of R_a,890 and a color temperature of between 2500K-5000K. Preferably, the red and green converting material do not saturate with an LED die output of 100 W/cm² and can reliably operate with an LED die junction temperature over 100 degrees C.
