摘要:
An illumination system comprising a radiation source and a composite monolithic ceramic luminescence converter comprising a composite luminescent material comprising at least one first phosphor and at least one second phosphor capable of absorbing a part of the light emitted by the radiation source and emitting light of a wavelength different from that of the absorbed light provides improved light mixing and chromaticity control of the emitted light mixture. The invention relates also to a composite monolithic ceramic luminescence converter and a method of manufacturing such composite monolithic ceramic luminescence converter.
摘要:
A wavelength converting element (104), typically for a LED (101), is provided, comprising luminescent particles (105) dispersed in a matrix (106) comprising crosslinked polysiloxane. Crosslinked polysiloxanes are temperature stable, typically up to temperatures above 300 °C, meaning that they are stable under normal operating conditions of light emitting diodes. Further, crosslinked polysiloxanes are stable towards exposure to light, meaning that they will not degrade/discolor as a consequence of high intensity light exposure. The polymeric wavelength converter can easily be shaped in different forms. This may lead to better outcoupling of the light from a LED-converter system.
