Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of LEDs in horticultural lighting applications.
- the present invention concerns a lighting fixture for facilitating plant growth comprising at least one Light Emitting Diode (LED) having spectral characteristics including a peak in the wavelength range from 600 to 700 nm.
- LED Light Emitting Diode
- the present invention also concerns novel light emitting components which are particularly suitable for facilitating plant growth and comprising a light emitting compound semiconductor chip.
- the sun On the Earth the sun is the main source of visible (i.e. light) and invisible electromagnetic radiation and the main factor responsible for the existence of life.
- the net daily average solar energy reaching the Earth is approximately 28 x 10 A 23 J (i.e. 265 EBtu). This value is 5500 times higher than the world's annual primary energy consumption, estimated in 2007 to be 479 PBtu.
- the spectral distribution of the sun's radiation, as it can be measured at the earth's surface, has a broad wavelength band of between around 300 nm and 1000 nm.
- PAR photosynthetically active radiation
- the photoreceptors are the active elements existing mainly on plant's leaves responsible for the photon capture and for conversion of its energy into chemical energy. Due to the photochemical nature of photosynthesis, the photosynthetic rate, which represents the amount of 0 2 evolution or the amount of C0 2 fixation per unit time, correlates well with the number of photons falling per unit area per second on a leaf surface. Therefore, the recommended quantities for PAR are based on the quantum system and are expressed using the number of moles (mol) or micromoles ( ⁇ ) of photons.
- the recommended term to report and quantify instantaneous measurements of PAR is the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), and is typically expressed in This gives the number of moles of photons falling at a surface per unit area per unit time.
- PPFD photosynthetic photon flux density
- PPF photosynthetic photon flux
- Photoreceptors existing in living organisms such as plants use the radiant energy captured to mediate important biologic processes. This mediation or interaction can take place in a variety of ways. Photosynthesis together with photoperiodism, phototropism and photomorphogenesis are the four representative processes related to interaction between radiation and plants. The following expression shows the simplified chemical equation of photosynthesis:
- carbohydrates such as sugar glucose (CeH ⁇ Oe), and oxygen (O2)
- CO2 carbon dioxide
- H2O water
- the radiant energy is also used as the primary source of chemical energy, which is important for the growth and development of plants.
- the input - output reactant balance of the equation is also dependent on the quantity (i.e. number of photons) and quality (i.e.
- Photoperiodism refers to the ability that plants have to sense and measure the periodicity of radiation, phototropism to the growth movement of the plant towards and away from the radiation, and photomorphogenesis to the change in form in response to the quality and quantity of radiation.
- the typical absorption spectra of the most common photosynthetic and photo- morphogenetic photoreceptors, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and betacarotene, and the two interconvertable forms of phytochromes (Pfr and Pr) are presented in Figure 1.
- the photomorphogenetic responses, contrary to photosynthesis, can be achieved with extremely low light quantities.
- the different types of photosynthetic and photomorphogenetic photoreceptors can be grouped in at least three known photosystems:
- the existing pigments are chlorophylls and carotenoids. Chlorophylls are located in the chloroplasts' thylakoids located in the leaf mesophyll cells of plants. The quantity or the energy of the radiation is the most significant aspect, since the activity of those pigments is closely related to the light harvest. The two most important absorption peaks of chlorophyll are located in the red and blue regions from 625 to 675 nm and from 425 to 475 nm, respectively. Additionally, there are also other localized peaks at near-UV (300 - 400 nm) and in the far-red region (700 - 800 nm).
- Carotenoids such as xanthophylls and carotenes are located in the chromoplast plastid organelles on plant cells and absorb mainly in the blue region.
- the phytochrome photosystem includes the two interconvertable forms of phytochromes, Pr and Pfr, which have their sensitivity peaks in the red at 660 nm and in the far-red at 730 nm, respectively.
- Photomorphogenetic responses mediated by phytochromes are usually related to the sensing of the light quality through the red (R) to far-red (FR) ratio (R/FR).
- R/FR far-red ratio
- the importance of phytochromes can be evaluated by the different physiological responses where they are involved, such as leaf expansion, neighbour perception, shade avoidance, stem elongation, seed germination and flowering induction.
- Blue- and UV-A (ultraviolet A)-sensitive photoreceptors are found in the cryptochrome photosystem. Blue light absorbing pigments include both cryptochrome and phototropins. They are involved in several different tasks, such as monitoring the quality, quantity, direction and periodicity of the light. The different groups of blue- and UV-A-sensitive photoreceptors mediate important morphological responses such as endogenous rhythms, organ orientation, stem elongation and stomatal opening, germination, leaf expansion, root growth and phototropism. Phototropins regulate the pigment content and the positioning of photosynthetic organs and organelles in order to optimize the light harvest and
- Cryptochromes are not only common to all plant species. Cryptochromes mediate a variety of light responses, including the entrainment of the circadian rhythms in flowering plants such as the Arabidopsis. Although radiation of wavelengths below 300 nm can be highly harmful to the chemical bonds of molecules and to DNA structure, plants absorb radiation in this region also.
- the quality of radiation within the PAR region may be important to reduce the destructive effects of UV radiation.
- These photoreceptors are the most investigated and therefore their role in control of photosynthesis and growth is known reasonably well. However, there is evidence of the existence of other photoreceptors, the activity of which may have an important role in mediating important physiological responses in the plant. Additionally, the interaction and the nature of interdependence between certain groups of receptors are not well understood. Photosynthesis is perhaps one of the oldest, most common and most important biochemical process in the world. The use of artificial light to substitute or compensate the low availability of daylight is a common practice, especially in northern countries during the winter season, for production of vegetable and ornamental crops.
- Fluorescent lamps are more commonly utilized in plant-growth applications than incandescent lamps.
- the electro-optical energy conversion is more efficient in comparison to incandescent lamps.
- Tubular type fluorescent lamps can achieve electrical efficiency values from typically around 20 % to 30 %, where more than 90 % of the emitted photons are inside the PAR region with typical lifetimes of around 10000 hours.
- especially designed long-lifetime fluorescent lamps can reach lifetimes of between 30000 hours.
- another advantage of fluorescent lamps in plant growth is the amount of blue radiation emitted. This can reach more than 10 % of the total photon emission inside PAR, depending on the correlated colour temperature (CCT) of the lamp.
- CCT correlated colour temperature
- fluorescent lamps are frequently used for total substitution of natural daylight radiation in close growth rooms and chambers.
- the blue radiation emitted is indispensable to achieve a balanced morphology of most crop plants through the mediation of the cryptochrome family of photoreceptors.
- the metal halide lamp belongs to the group of high- intensity discharge lamps.
- the emission of visible radiation is based on the luminescent effect.
- the inclusion of metal halides during manufacture allows to a certain extent the optimization of the spectral quality of the radiation emitted.
- Metal halide lamps can be used in plant growth to totally replace daylight or for partially supplementing it during the period of lower availability.
- the high PAR output per lamp the relatively high percentage of blue radiation around 20 % and the electrical efficiency of approximately 25 %, makes metal halide lamps an option for year-round crop cultivation. Their operation times are typically 5,000 to 6,000 hours.
- the high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamp has been the preferred light source for year-round crop production in greenhouses.
- photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and betacarotene.
- the low R/FR ratio and low blue light emission in comparison with other sources induces excessive stem elongation to most of the crops grown under HPS lighting.
- Electrical efficiencies of high-pressure sodium lamps are typically within 30 % and 40 %, which make them the most energy- efficient light sources used nowadays in plant growth. Approximately 40 % of the input energy is converted into photons inside the PAR region and almost 25 % to 30 % into far-red and infra red.
- the operation times of high pressure sodium lamps are in the range from about 10,000 to 24,000 hours.
- the light-emitting diode and related solid-state lighting have emerged as potentially viable and promising tools to be used in horticultural lighting.
- Internal quantum efficiency of LEDs is a measure for the percentage of photons generated by each electron injected into the active region.
- the best AllnGaP red and AlInGaN green and blue HB-LEDs can have internal quantum efficiencies better than 50 %; still challenges remain to extract all generated light out of the semiconductor device and the light fixture.
- LED-based light sources In horticultural lighting the main practical advantages of LED-based light sources in relation to conventional light sources is the directionality and full controllability of the emitted radiation. LEDs do not necessarily require reflectors, as they are naturally halfisotropic emitters. LEDs as directional emitters avoid most of the losses associated with the optics. Additionally, the narrow spectral bandwidth characteristic of coloured LEDs is another important advantage in relation to conventional broad waveband light sources.
- the main advantage of using LEDs as photosynthetic radiation sources results from the possibility of selecting the peak wavelength emission that most closely matches the absorption peak of a selected photoreceptor. In fact, this possibility brings with it additional advantages. The efficient usage of the radiant energy by the photoreceptor on the mediation of a physiological response of the plant is one of the advantages.
- Another advantage is the controllability of the response by fully controlling the radiation intensity.
- the advantages mentioned previously can be further extended to the luminaire level.
- the inventor is aware of a luminaire with a blue LED and a red LED.
- the spectral emission of currently coloured AlInGaN LEDs are available from UV into to the green region of the visible spectrum. Those devices can emit in the blue and UV-A region where the absorption peaks of cryptochromes and carotenoids are located.
- Chlorophyll a and the red isomeric form of phytochromes (Pr) have a strong absorption peak located around 660 nm.
- AlGaAs LEDs emit in the same region but, partially due to low market demand and outdated technology of production, they are expensive devices if compared with phosphide or even nitride-based LEDs.
- AlGaAs LEDs can be also used to control the far-red form of phytochromes (Pfr), which has an important absorption peak at 730 nm.
- AllnGaP LEDs are based on a well-established material technology with the relatively high optical and electrical performance.
- the characteristic spectral emission region of AlInGaP red LEDs covers the region where chlorophyll b has its absorption peak, around 640 nm. Therefore, AlInGaP LEDs are also useful in promoting photosynthesis.
- the novel commercial high brightness LEDs are not suitable for greenhouse cultivation as their main emission peak lies in the range of green wavelengths extending from 500 to 600 nm and thus not responding to photosynthesis process.
- a LED light to which the photosynthesis responds can be constructed combining various types of semiconductor LEDs such as AlInGaP and AlInGaN, for red and blue colors.
- the lights of the prior art also omit essential wavelengths, which would be very useful for plant growth. For example, these lights do not reach to far red between 700 nm-800 nm, which is important to plant cultivation. Summary of the Invention It is an aim of the present invention to eliminate at least a part of the problems relating to the art and to provide a new way of facilitating plant growth using LEDs.

- the present invention relates in general to a single light emission source LED device that has optimal properties to be used as greenhouse cultivation light source. Specifically this approach to construct the light sources has optimal properties and flexibility for matching the photosynthesis frequencies in plant cultivation. By using this approach, the light sources can be designed to reach superior PPF and PPF per watt efficiency and performance and very low power consumption and very long operation lifetime when compared to the existing technologies.

- the partial wavelength up- conversion can be selected to be in range of 5-95 %, preferably 35-65 %, of the semiconductor LED chip radiation.
- the wavelength up-conversion to produce the 400-800 nm radiation is achieved by using one or more up-conversion materials in proximity with the LED emission source.
- the wavelength up-conversion is realized by using either organic, inorganic or combination of both types of materials. These materials can be particular (nano- or other size particles), molecular or polymeric materials. Furthermore the materials can have structural arrangement that results in wavelength up-conversion of the emission source .
- a lighting fixture for facilitating plant growth comprises a UV LED, optionally with external luminescent emission characteristics.
- the LED exhibits typically
- “adjustable” peak wavelength as in the above is construed as a peak wavelength that can be adjusted during assembly of the lighting fixture at the factory, and/or also “adjustable” as in an adjustable dial in the lighting fixture for on site peak wavelength adjustment.
- adjusting the peak wavelengths of the LED during manufacturing process of the LED is also in accordance with the invention, and
- adjustable should be construed to also include adjustments made during the
- the phosphorescent emission intensities of first, optional second and optional third spectral characteristics are adjustable in any ratio.
- Figures 2 to 5 illustrate a few examples of the emission peaks of the single light emission source LED devices.
- the semiconductor LED chip emission frequency peaks at a wavelength of 457 nm with emission peaks Full Width of Half Maximum (FWHM) of 25 nm.
- FWHM Full Width of Half Maximum
- the wavelength up-conversion is done by using two up-conversion materials. These two wavelength up-conversion materials have individual emission peaks at 660 nm and 604 nm.
- Figure 2 shows the combined emission peak from these two wavelength up- conversion materials peaking at 651 nm wavelength with emission peaks FWHM of 101 nm. In this case about 40 % (calculated from the peak intensities) of the semiconductor LED chip emission, is up-converted to 651 nm emission by two individual up-conversion materials.
- the semiconductor LED chip emission frequency peaks at a wavelength of 470 nm with emission peaks Full Width of Half Maximum (FWHM) of 30 nm.
- the wavelength up-conversion is done by using two up-conversion materials. These two wavelength up-conversion materials have individual emission peaks at 660 nm and 604 nm.
- Figure 2 shows the combined emission peak from these two wavelength up-conversion materials peaking at 660 nm wavelength with emission peaks FWHM of 105 nm. In this case about 60 % (calculated from the peak intensities) of the semiconductor LED chip emission, is up-converted to 660 nm emission by two individual "up-conversion" materials.
- the semiconductor LED chip emission frequency peaks at a wavelength of 452 nm with emission peaks Full Width of Half Maximum (FWHM) of 25 nm (not shown in the figure).
- FWHM Full Width of Half Maximum
- the wavelength up-conversion is done by using one up-conversion material.
- Figure 3 shows the emission peak from this up-conversion material peaking at 658 nm wavelength with emission peaks FWHM of 80 nm. In this case about 100 % (calculated from the peak intensities) of the semiconductor LED chip emission, is up- converted to 658 nm emission by the up-conversion material. This can be noticed from the Figure 4, as there are no 452nm emission exiting the LED device.

- the wavelength up-conversion is done by using one up-conversion material.
- Figure 5 shows the emission peak from this up-conversion material peaking at 602 nm wavelength with emission peaks FWHM of 78 nm. In this case about 95 % (calculated from the peak intensities) of the semiconductor LED chip emission, is up-converted to 602 nm emission by the wavelength up-conversion material.
- the semiconductor LED chip emission frequency should be selected the way that it is suitable for exciting the used phosphor molecules in the device.
- the emission from the LED chip can be between 400 nm and 470nm.
- the used phosphor molecule or molecules should be selected the way that a desired emission spectra from the LED is achieved.
- Phosphor A and Phosphor B are mixed in a pre-determined ratio to achieve desired phosphor emission spectra from the LED device (cf. Figure 6a).
- the ratio of the phosphors can be for example 99: 1 (A:B) to 1 :99.
- This mixture of phosphors A+B is mixed into a material C (for example a polymer) at a pre-determined concentration to form an
- the concentration of the phosphors in material C can be for example 99:1 (phosphor mixture : material C) to 1 :99.
- This mixture of material C + phosphors (A and B) is then deposited in direct proximity of the LED chip ( Figure 6b and 6c).
- proximity we mean it can be deposited directly on the surface of the LED chip or spaced out with other optical material.
- the concentration of the phosphor mixture in material C determines the wavelength up-conversion amount of the semiconductor LED chip emission frequency, meaning how much of the "original" LED chip emission frequency is seen in the final LED device emission and how much is converted into the phosphor emission in the LED device.
- the thickness of the encapsulant typically varies from 0.1 um to 20 mm, in particular 1 um to 10 mm, preferably 5 um to 10 mm, for example about 10 um to 5 mm, depending on the concentration of the phosphor.
- concentration of the phosphor (calculated from the total weight of the encapsulant) is about 0.1 to 20 %, preferably about 1 to 10 %.
- the wavelength up-conversion can be 100 %, meaning that there is only phosphor emission seen from the LED device or it can be less than 100 %, meaning that some of the LED chip emission is transmitted out from the LED device.
- the amount (physical thickness) of material C (with certain phosphor concentration) on top of the LED chip also affects the amount of LED chip emission transmitting from the LED device. The thicker the material C layer on top of the LED chip, the lower the transmission.
- Material C can be for example a solvent, inorganic or organic polymer, silicon polymer, siloxane polymer or other polymer where the phosphor can be mixed into. Material C can have one or more components that have to be mixed prior to usage together with the phosphor. Material C can be a thermally or UV curable material.
- the mixture of the phosphor(s) and the solvent material C can be translucent or transparent, preferably transparent, to allow for passage of the light emitted from the LED.
- the far red radiation (700-800 nm) is produced by for example europium-cerium co-doped Ba x Sr y ZnS_3 phosphors and/or cerium doped lanthanide oxide sulfides.
- These phosphor and sulfide types have emission peak maxima between 650-700 nm wavelength region and exhibit also broad (50-200nm) full width of half maximum and therefore also produce light emission at higher wavelength, i.e., above 700nm wavelength range.
- a LED lighting fixture was constructed for comparison testing purposes based on the single LED device having identical output spectrum of the Figure 3.
- the lighting fixture consisted of 60 individual LED units having a power consumption of 69 W which includes the power consumption of the AC/DC constant current driver.
- the comparison devices were commercial HPS (High Pressure Sodium) lamp greenhouse lighting fixture with total power consumption of 420W and commercial LED greenhouse LED fixture.
- the commercial LED fixture was based on individual blue and red LED devices having total power consumption of 24W.
- the LED lighting fixture according to the present invention was tested against the above- mentioned commercial LED devices using following PPF measurement procedure and arrangement.
- PAR irradiance (irradiance value between 400 nm and 700 nm) and PPF- values were calculated by measuring the light fixture spectra from 300 nm to 800 nm and absolute irradiance value at band from 385 nm to 715 nm. The spectrum of each lamp were measured with ILT700A spectroradio meter at one distance. The absolute irradiance- values were measured with precision pyranometer at certain distances and were later used to calculate the absolute spectra to these distances. These absolute spectra were used to calculate PAR- and PPF calculations.
- PAR-irradiance (W/m 2 ) was calculated by integrating the absolute spectrum from 400 nm to 700 nm.
- PPF-values were calculated by first translating the irradiance value of each "channel" of the spectrum from W/m 2 to microeinsteins and then integrating this spectrum over the desired wavelength band.
- an LED lighting fixture according to the present invention provides 3.27 times higher PPF efficiency compared to HPS and 1.18 times better PPF efficiency compared to commercial LED greenhouse fixture based on individual blue and red LED devices.
- Naturally all of the LEDs or lighting fixtures are arranged to be used especially in greenhouses for plant cultivation as greenhouse lights in many embodiments of the invention.
- the present lighting fixtures may comprise a plurality of LEDs, at least some (say 10 % or more) or preferably a majority (more than 50 %) of which have the indicated properties and characteristics. It is therefore possible to have fixtures comprising combinations of conventional LEDs and LEDs of the present kind. There are no particular upper limits to the number of LEDs. Thus, lighting fixtures of the present kind can have roughly 1 up to 10,000 LEDs, typically 1 to 1000 LEDs, in particular 1 to 100 LEDs.
- LEDs with different peak emissions in one luminaire and to control these in order to provide a desirable spectral emission to achieve a determined growth result or physiological response.
- the lighting system would allow a versatile control of lighting intensity and spectrum.
- control of other abiotic parameters such as C0 2 concentration, temperature, daylight availability and humidity could be integrated within the same control system together with lighting, optimizing the crop productivity and the overall management of the greenhouse.
