A solid state lighting apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) including at least a first LED and a second LED. Chromaticities of the first and second LEDs are selected so that a combined light generated by a mixture of light from the pair of LEDs has about a target chromaticity. The first LED may include a first LED chip that emits light in the blue portion of the visible spectrum and a phosphor that emits red light in response to blue light emitted by the first LED chip. The second LED emits light having a color point that is above the planckian locus of a 1931 CIE Chromaticity diagram, and in particular may have a yellow green, greenish yellow or green hue.

摘要:
A luminescent cerium (Ce) doped compound emitting bright red light, comprising a calcium silicate nitride ternary system, such as CaSiN2-δOδ:Ce3+, that crystallizes in a face-centered cubic unit cell with a lattice parameter of ˜a=14.88 Å. The Ce doped compound can be used for white light applications either: (i) to enhance the light quality of the system based on a blue LED with a yellow or green phosphor, (ii) as an orange phosphor in combination with a blue LED and a green phosphor, or (iii) as a red phosphor in a setup comprising a ultraviolet (UV) LED and red, green and blue (RGB) phosphors. Substitution of smaller elements on the Ca site or larger elements on the Si site leads to a decrease of the emission wavelength towards the yellow or orange region.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for forming a blended phosphor composition. The method includes the steps of firing precursor compositions that include europium and nitrides of at least calcium, strontium and aluminum, in a refractory metal crucible and in the presence of a gas that precludes the formation of nitride compositions between the nitride starting materials and the refractory metal that forms the crucible. The resulting compositions can include phosphors that convert frequencies in the blue portion of the visible spectrum into frequencies in the red portion of the visible spectrum.
