Background technology
Nowadays, light-emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED) a lot of fields have been widely applied to, how to obtain the direction that the more superior light-emitting diode of performance has become people's research and development, at this, a kind of novel light-emitting diode can be referring to people such as Daniel A.Steigerwald at document IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in QuantumElectronics, Vol.8, No.2, Illumination With Solid StateLighting Technology one literary composition among the March/April 2002.Because light-emitting diode has characteristics such as luminous efficiency height, color rendering be good, to be beneficial to daily life on the street lamp required so it begins to be used in by people.
Yet, the color temperature value of the white light that existing LED source penetrates is higher, it is usually between 4500 ~ 6500K, can allow people feel cold like this and light is dazzling, color rendering also only can reach 80% simultaneously, and such color temperature value and color rendering can't reach people's requirement.Existing light-emitting diode is normally by adding fluorescent material to send white light in LED crystal particle, and the ratio of fluorescent material is promptly fixing after the light-emitting diodes pipe manufacturer is finished, therefore can not in follow-up use, the colour temperature to light-emitting diode regulate, thereby be unfavorable for people's instructions for use.
In view of this, provide the adjustable light-emitting diode of a kind of colour temperature real for necessary.
