Definitions
- the present exemplary embodiments relate to phosphors for the conversion of radiation emitted by a light source. They find particular application in conjunction with converting LED-generated ultraviolet (UV), violet or blue radiation into white light for general illumination purposes. It should be appreciated, however, that the invention is also applicable to the conversion of radiation from UV, violet and/or blue lasers as well as other light sources to white light.
- LEDs Light emitting diodes
- LEDs are semiconductor light emitters often used as a replacement for other light sources, such as incandescent lamps. They are particularly useful as display lights, warning lights and indicating lights or in other applications where colored light is desired. The color of light produced by an LED is dependent on the type of semiconductor material used in its manufacture.
- Colored semiconductor light emitting devices including light emitting diodes and lasers (both are generally referred to herein as LEDs), have been produced from Group Hl-V alloys such as gallium nitride (GaN).
- Group Hl-V alloys such as gallium nitride (GaN).
- GaN gallium nitride
- layers of the alloys are typically deposited epitaxially on a substrate, such as silicon carbide or sapphire, and may be doped with a variety of n and p type dopants to improve properties, such as light emission efficiency.
- GaN- based LEDs With reference to the GaN- based LEDs, light is generally emitted in the UV and/or blue range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- LEDs have not been suitable for lighting uses where a bright white light is needed, due to the inherent color of the light produced by the LED.
- a phosphor is a luminescent material that absorbs radiation energy in a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and emits energy in another portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Phosphors of one important class are crystalline inorganic compounds of very high chemical purity and of controlled composition to which small quantities of other elements (called "activators”) have been added to convert them into efficient fluorescent materials. With the right combination of activators and host inorganic compounds, the color of the emission can be controlled.
- Most useful and well-known phosphors emit radiation in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in response to excitation by electromagnetic radiation outside the visible range.
- LED light of a different wavelength, e.g., in the visible range of the spectrum, may be generated.
- Colored LEDs are often used in toys, indicator lights and other devices. Manufacturers are continuously looking for new colored phosphors for use in such LEDs to produce custom colors and higher luminosity.
- a combination of LED generated light and phosphor generated light may be used to . produce white light.
- the most popular white LEDs are based on blue emitting GaInN chips. The blue emitting chips are coated with a phosphor that converts some of the blue radiation to a complementary color, e.g. a yellow-green emission.
- the total of the light from the phosphor and the LED chip provides a color point with corresponding color coordinates (x and yon the CIE chromaticity diagram) and correlated color temperature (CCT), and its spectral distribution provides a color rendering capability, measured by the color rendering index (CRI).
- CIE color rendering index
- the CRI is commonly defined as a mean value for 8 standard color samples (R-i- ⁇ ), usually referred to as the General Color Rendering Index and abbreviated as R a , although 14 standard color samples are specified internationally and one can calculate a broader CRI (R1-14) as their mean value.
- R a General Color Rendering Index
- Rg measuring the color rendering for the strong red
- CRI is very important for a range of applications, especially of medical nature.
- "CRI” is used to refer to any of the above general, mean, or special values unless otherwise specified.
- One known white light emitting device comprises a blue light-emitting
- LED having a peak emission wavelength in the blue range (from about 440 nm to about 480 nm) combined with a phosphor, such as cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet Y3AI 5 O12: Ce 3+ ("YAG").
- a phosphor such as cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet Y3AI 5 O12: Ce 3+ ("YAG").
- the phosphor absorbs a portion of the radiation emitted from the LED and converts the absorbed radiation to a yellow-green light.
- the remainder of the blue light emitted by the LED is transmitted through the phosphor and is mixed with the yellow light emitted by the phosphor.
- a viewer perceives the mixture of blue and yellow light as a white light.
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary phosphor conversion light emitting device 10 as shown.
- the light emitting device 10 comprises a semiconductor UV or blue radiation source, such as a light emitting diode (LED) chip or die 12 and leads 16, 18 electrically attached to the LED chip.
- LED light emitting diode
- the leads may comprise thin wires supported by a thicker lead frame(s) 14 or the leads may comprise self supported electrodes and the lead frame may be omitted.
- the leads 16, 18 provide current to the LED chip 12 and thus cause the LED chip 12 to emit radiation.
- the chip 12 is covered by a phosphor containing layer 20.
- the phosphor material utilized in the layer 20 can vary, depending upon the desired color of secondary light that will be generated by the layer 20.
- the chip 12 and the phosphor containing layer 20 are encapsulated by an encapsulant 22.
- the chip 12 When activated, the chip 12 emits the primary light away from its top surface. The emitted primary light is absorbed by the phosphor containing layer 20. The phosphor layer 20 then emits a secondary light, i.e., converted light having a longer peak wavelength, in response to absorption of the primary light. The secondary light is emitted randomly in various directions by the phosphor in the layer 20. Some of the secondary light is emitted away from the die 12, propagating through the encapsulant 22 and exiting the device 10 as output light. The encapsulant 22 directs the output light in a general direction indicated by arrow 24.
- Both the single phosphor composition (containing 1 or more phosphor compounds) approach and the layered structure of phosphor compositions (each with a substantially different color point) approach provides a given set of luminosity and CRI values which are fixed either by the chemical composition or the relative size of the phosphor layers, and cannot be changed further without either redesigning the phosphor blend or losing the color balance of the device.
- the present invention provides new and improved phosphor layering methods, blends and method of formation, which overcome the above-referenced problems and others.
- a lighting apparatus for emitting white light including a semiconductor light source emitting radiation with a peak at from about 250 nm to about 500 nm; a first phosphor composition; and a second phosphor composition; wherein the first and second phosphor compositions have substantially the same emission color coordinates when subjected to the same source excitation radiation.
- a method for making a lighting apparatus for emitting white light which can achieve a tunable color rendering index (CRI) and luminosity, the method including the steps of providing a semiconductor light source emitting radiation having a peak emission at from about 250 to 500 nm; providing a first phosphor composition radiationally coupled to the light source; and providing a second phosphor composition disposed on top of the first phosphor layer; wherein the first and second phosphor compositions have substantially the same emission color coordinates when subjected to the same source excitation radiation.

If the mixture is wet, it may be dried first before being fired under a reducing atmosphere at a temperature from about 900 0 C to about 1700 0 C, preferably from about 900 0 C to about 1500 0 C, for a time sufficient to convert all of the mixture to the final material.
- the firing may be conducted in a batchwise or continuous process, preferably with a stirring or mixing action to promote good gas-solid contact.
- the firing time depends on the quantity of the mixture to be fired, the rate of gas conducted through the firing equipment, and the quality of the gas-solid contact in the firing equipment. Typically, a firing time up to about 10 hours is adequate.
- the reducing atmosphere typically comprises a reducing gas such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or a combination thereof, optionally diluted with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, argon, or a combination thereof.
- the crucible containing the mixture may be packed in a second closed crucible containing high-purity carbon particles and fired in air so that the carbon particles react with the oxygen present in air, thereby, generating carbon monoxide for providing a reducing atmosphere.
- these compounds may be blended and dissolved in a nitric acid solution. The strength of the acid solution is chosen to rapidly dissolve the oxygen-containing compounds and the choice is within the skill of a person skilled in the art. Ammonium hydroxide is then added in increments to the acidic solution.
- An organic base such as methanolamine, ethanolamine, propanolamine, dimethanolamine, diethanolamine, dipropanolamine, trimethanolamine, triethanolamine, or tripropanolamine may be used in place of ammonium hydroxide.
- the precipitate may be filtered, washed with deionized water, and dried.
- the dried precipitate may be ball milled or otherwise thoroughly blended and then calcined in air at about 400 0 C to about 1600 0 C for a sufficient time to ensure a substantially complete dehydration of the starting material.

- spectral blends for use in each phosphor composition to cover the relevant portions of color space, especially for white lamps. Specific examples of this are shown below. For various desired color points, one can determine the identity and appropriate amounts of each phosphor compound to include in the individual compositions. Thus, one can customize phosphor blends for use in the compositions to produce almost any CCT or color point, with control over the CRI and luminosity based on the amount of each composition in the lighting device.
- each phosphor will be dependent upon its exact makeup (e.g. relative amounts of Ba, Ca, Sr, as well as Eu in BAM phosphor), which can change the color of the phosphor to a degree where it may have to be renamed, e.g. green instead of blue.
- some phosphors such as SASI Red and HALO may emit a secondary blue peak from the co-activator (Eu 2+ in this case), which will contribute to the emission from the blue phosphor in the blend (SECA or BAM).
- determining the changes in the spectral weight to produce the same or similar characteristic lighting device necessitated by such variations is trivial and can be accomplished by one skilled in the art using various methodologies, such as design of experiment (DOE) or other strategies.

- lamps can be provided having customizable CRI and luminosity for a given color point.
- the preparation of each phosphor composition, including the identity and amounts of each phosphor compound present therein, and the evaluation of its contribution to the LED spectrum would be trivial for a person skilled in the art and can be done using established techniquest aided by, e.g., the DOE approach such as the preparation of a series of devices with various thicknesses of two phosphor compositions.

- Table 2 shows a set of simulated spectral models at different levels of spectral contribution from compositions A and B (0 to 100% each in 10% increments) under 405 nm excitation, with a cutoff filter applied to all wavelengths lower than 420 nm.
- a cutoff filter applied to all wavelengths lower than 420 nm.
- Other combinations are also possible, e.g. 75% of composition A and 25% of composition B.
- the use of filtering is optional and preferable in cases where shorter wavelength radiation is to be eliminated; it does not otherwise restrict the generality of the approach.
- the general CRI value (R a ) has a maximum around Point 8, which is a good choice to maximize the R a regardless of luminosity.
- a higher luminosity e.g. greater than 300 lumens per watt of radiation input or Im/W ra d
- a tradeoff needs to be sought between this requirement and the declining R 3 from point 9 through 11. If a minimal R a of 90 was required, for example, point 9 would be adequate, and if a minimal R a of 85 was needed, point 10 would satisfy this requirement at the maximum luminosity. Similar observations can be made with respect to the mean CRI (e.g.
- Figure 6 is a graph of the general CRl (R a ) and luminosity of the proposed device as a function of the amount of composition A. It can be seen from this example how the fine tuning of CRI and/or luminosity allows flexibility and can provide a full product basket.
- Table 4 shows a set of simulated spectra! models at different levels of spectral contribution from compositions A and B (0 to 100% each in 10% increments) under 405 nm excitation, with a cutoff filter applied to all wavelengths lower than 420 nm.
