Effect of particle sizes and mass ratios of a phosphor on light color performance of a green phosphor thin film and a laminated white light-emitting diode

Green phosphor thin films with different silica resin/phosphor mass ratios and phosphor particle sizes were prepared by the hot pressing method. A 405 nm near-ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) chip was used to package the laminated white LED (WLED), and the correlated color temperature, luminous efficiency of radiation, light color uniformity, and color coordinate of the laminated WLED were obtained. An increase in the mass ratio and decrease in particle size can effectively affect the scattering coefficient of phosphor photons and the efficiency of the absorption–excitation–emission process, increasing the efficiency and light color uniformity of phosphor thin films and laminated WLEDs. By comprehensive evaluation of various light color parameters, a laminate was prepared with a mass ratio of silica resin/phosphor = 6 : 0.75, and the optimum value of the WLED was obtained. According to the IES TM30 standard, its R(f) reached 92, R(g) reached 101, and R(g) and color distortion icons showed increased saturation for green color. Its luminous efficiency of radiation value of 270.21 lm W(−1), correlated color temperature of 4423 K, and neutral white characteristics indicate that it is a device suitable for lighting applications.
