Abstract:
A color tunable lighting assembly (100), a light source and a luminaire are provided. The color tunable lighting assembly (100) comprises a light emitter (110), a luminescent layer (108) and a temperature controlling means (106). The light emitter (110) emits light (112) of a first color distribution. The luminescent layer (108) receives light (112) emitted by the light emitter (110). The luminescent layer (108) comprises luminescent material to absorb a portion of the light (112) of the first color distribution and to convert a portion of the absorbed light into light (102) of a second color distribution. The second color distribution is dependent on the temperature of the luminescent layer (108). The temperature controlling means (106) actively controls a temperature of the luminescent layer (108) to obtain a light emission by the color tunable lighting assembly. The light emission has a specific color distribution.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process for the production of a solid polymer with embedded luminescent nano particles, comprising (1) mixing luminescent nano particles with an outer surface coated with capping molecules comprising a first functional group and a second functional group and a precursor of a solid polymer, and (2) allowing the solid polymer to be formed; wherein the first functional group is configured to bind to the outer surface of the quantum dot and the second functional group is miscible with the precursor of the solid polymer and/or is able to react with the precursor of the solid polymer. The invention also provides a luminescent polymeric article comprising a solid polymer with in the polymer article embedded luminescent nano particles with an outer surface coated with capping molecules comprising a first functional group and a second functional group.
