Abstract:
A phosphor converted Light Emitting Diode (LED), a lamp and a luminaire are provided. The phosphor converted LED comprises a LED, a first luminescent material, a second luminescent material and a third luminescent material. The LED emits a first spectral distribution having a first peak wavelength in the blue spectral range. The first luminescent material absorbs a portion of the light of the first spectral distribution and converts at least a portion of the absorbed light towards light of a second spectral distribution. The second spectral distribution has a second peak wavelength in the green spectral range. The second luminescent material absorbs absorbing a portion of the light of the first spectral distribution and/or a portion of the second spectral distribution. The second luminescent material converts at least a portion of the absorbed light towards lights of a third spectral distribution. The third spectral distribution has a third spectral width and has a third peak wavelength. The third luminescent material absorbs a portion of the light of at least one of the first spectral distribution, second spectral distribution, and the third spectral distribution. The third luminescent material converts at least a portion of the absorbed light towards light of a fourth spectral distribution. The fourth spectral distribution has a fourth spectral width and has a fourth peak wavelength. The third peak wavelength and the fourth peak wavelength are in the orange/red spectral range. The third peak wavelength is smaller than the fourth peak wavelength and the third spectral width is larger than the fourth spectral width.

Abstract:
A light emission device comprising a light emitting element, a wavelength conversion (e.g. phosphor) element, and a filter that reduces Color over Angle (CoA) effects by at least partially reflecting light from the light emitting element that strike the filter at near-normal angles of incidence. In some embodiments, a combined phosphor and filter layer is formed over the LED die. The filter may comprise a dispersion of self-aligning moieties, such as dielectric platelets in a film that is vacuum laminated to the LED structure. Xirallic® Galaxy Blue pigment, comprising an aluminum oxide core coated on both sides with thin films of SnO2, and TiO2, and Ronastar® Blue, comprising Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate and TiO2 may provide the dielectric platelets.
