Detailed Description
The light emitting layer of the wavelength conversion device simultaneously contains fluorescent powder, high-refraction scattering particles, low-refraction scattering particles and a bonding material, and the color temperature of emergent light is adjusted by using the volume ratio of the high-refraction scattering particles to the low-refraction scattering particles.
Generally, the larger the difference between the refractive indexes of the scattering particles and the surrounding medium, the stronger the refraction effect on the light, and thus the shallower the depth of the light entering the light emitting layer after the light is incident on the light emitting layer, that is, the shallower the excitation depth of the excitation light in the light emitting layer. Compared with the invention, the more high-refraction scattering particles in the light-emitting layer, the shallower the depth of the blue light entering the light-emitting layer of the wavelength conversion layer, the less the light-emitting layer absorbs the blue light, and more blue light is reflected out of the light-emitting layer, so that the proportion of the blue light in the final emergent light is larger, and the color temperature of the obtained white light is larger.
Since the medium is more refractive to short wavelength light, the volume ratio of the high and low refractive scattering particles is significantly more influential than the blue light than the yellow light. In the outgoing white light, the influence of blue light on the color temperature is large, and the influence of yellow light on the brightness is large. Therefore, by adjusting the volume ratio of the high-low refraction scattering particles, the color temperature of the emergent light can be adjusted under the condition of not obviously changing the brightness of the emergent light, and the defect of brightness change caused by adjusting fluorescent powder in the prior art is avoided.
The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a light source device according to a first embodiment of the invention. As shown in the figure, the light source device includes a blue light source 200 and a wavelength conversion device 100, light emitted from the blue light source 200 is incident on the wavelength conversion device 100, and the wavelength conversion device 100 includes a light emitting layer 110 and a reflective layer 120, wherein the reflective layer 120 is located on a surface of the light emitting layer 110 away from a light incident side.
In this embodiment, the light emitting layer 110 is composed of materials such as phosphor, high-refraction scattering particles, low-refraction scattering particles, and bonding material, and the light emitting layer 110 includes two regions: a first region 111 and a second region 112. Wherein the volume ratio of the high-refraction scattering particles to the low-refraction scattering particles of the first region 111 is greater than the volume ratio of the high-refraction scattering particles to the low-refraction scattering particles of the second region 112.
In this embodiment, the light source device further includes a regulating device (not shown in the figure) for regulating the light emitted from the blue light source 200 to be incident on the first region 111 or the second region 112. When the light emitted by the blue light source irradiates the first area, the wavelength conversion device emits first emergent light, and when the light emitted by the blue light source irradiates the second area, the wavelength conversion device emits second emergent light, wherein the color temperature of the first emergent light is higher than that of the second emergent light. The adjusting means may be means for driving and moving the wavelength conversion device 100 and/or the blue light source 200; or may be an adjustable optical device (e.g., an adjustable mirror) positioned between the blue light source 200 and the wavelength conversion device 100.
In the present embodiment, the phosphors in the first region 111 and the second region 112 are the same phosphor, so when the blue light source irradiates the first region 111 and the second region 112 respectively, there is not much difference in the color of the emitted light. In this embodiment, the phosphors in the first region 111 and the second region 112 are yellow phosphors, such as YAG phosphors, and yellow light emitted by the phosphors may be combined with blue light emitted by a blue light source to form white light.
In the present embodiment, the volume fractions of the phosphors in the first region 111 and the second region 112 are the same. The luminance of the light emitted from the light emitting layer 110 mainly depends on the volume fraction of the phosphor, and the luminance of the light emitted from the first region 111 and the second region 112 are closer to each other under the condition that the volume fractions of the phosphors are the same.
In this embodiment, the refractive index of the high refractive scattering particles is greater than 1.8, and the refractive index of the low refractive scattering particles is less than 1.8 and greater than 1.6. The larger the refractive index is, the larger the angle change of the blue light after the refraction at the interface of the high-refraction scattering particles is, and the shallower the excitation depth of the blue light in the light emitting layer 110 is. The low refractive scattering particles have a refractive index less than that of the high refractive scattering particles, but the low refractive scattering particles have a refractive index higher than that of the bonding material, otherwise their scattering reflection effect will not be significant. In the embodiment of the present invention, both the high-refractive-index scattering particles and the low-refractive-index scattering particles rely on the scattering effect generated by the difference in refractive index from the binder material, in addition to the reflection effect of the particles themselves.
In this embodiment, the high-refraction scattering particles include at least one of titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, and zinc oxide, and the low-refraction scattering particles include at least one of aluminum oxide, yttrium oxide, and barium sulfate. The particle size of the high-low refraction scattering particles is close to the wavelength of visible light, and the particles are white when observed by naked eyes and can scatter and reflect the visible light.
In this embodiment, the refractive index of the bonding material is less than 1.6, and the bonding material may be an inorganic bonding material or an organic bonding material. Optionally, the adhesive material includes one of silicone, epoxy resin, and glass frit.
In this embodiment, the light source device further includes a heat conducting substrate located on a surface of the reflective layer away from the light emitting layer, that is, the light emitting layer, the reflective layer, and the heat conducting substrate are sequentially stacked. The heat conduction substrate has the heat conductivity higher than 80W/mK and can be a ceramic substrate or a metal substrate.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the wavelength conversion device is a rotatable fluorescent color wheel, and the first region and the second region are distributed along a circumferential direction (or a radial direction in another embodiment) of the fluorescent color wheel. The fluorescent color wheel is driven to rotate by a motor, so that the blue light source irradiates the first area and the second area of the fluorescent color wheel at different time, and emergent light with different color temperatures is emitted.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides an illumination device, which includes the light source device described in the above embodiments, and the light source device can be used for white light illumination and can also be used as a white light source for image display.
In one embodiment of the invention, the illumination device is a vehicle lamp that can be adjusted to change the color temperature of the emerging light.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications of equivalent structures and equivalent processes performed by the present specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
