Description
COATING FOR LED LIGHTING DEVICE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a coating for a LED lighting device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for illumination purposes continues to attract attention. Compared to incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, neon tube lamps, etc., LEDs provide numerous advantages such as a longer operational life, a reduced power consumption, and an increased efficiency related to the ratio between light energy and heat energy.
Over the past years, various ways to modify the emitted light from a lighting device comprising LEDs have been explored. There is an interest in transforming the emitted light from a LED device, by using e.g. different covers, layers and/or coatings in order to achieve a desired lighting effect or profile.
The solutions used today may include the use of different coatings for lighting devices, wherein these coatings comprise diffusor materials (e.g. CaCOi, AI2O3 or SiOi powder) and (remote) phosphors (e.g. Y3AI5O12 or YGasOn) in order to achieve a pleasing lighting profile. However, the material(s) of the coatings of the prior art suffer from an inadequate light efficiency and/or an insufficient aesthetic effect of the light via the coatings. Furthermore, the material(s) of the coatings may be relatively expensive. Furthermore, the combination of the different coating materials may lead to relatively complex coating compositions.
Hence, there is a need for coatings which are able to diffuse the light from a LED lighting device in a more efficient and/or decorative manner, whilst providing non- expensive and less complex coating material(s) for this purpose.
Hence, it is an object of the present invention to provide a coating for diffusing the light emitted from a LED device, in order to provide a more pleasant and decorative lighting, as well as providing a more efficient lighting, whilst using non-expensive coating material(s), and wherein the coating is less complex than the coatings of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Hence, it is of interest to explore the possibility of combining one or more of the numerous advantages of LED lighting devices with a coating comprising holmium oxide, for diffusing the emitted light, thus providing an improved appearance and/or a decorative
aspect of the light emitted from the LED lighting device, whilst providing a cost-efficient and convenient coating.
This and other objects are achieved by providing a coating for a LED lighting device as described in the following.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of coating at least a portion of a LED lighting device using a coating according to the first aspect of the present invention.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of producing a coating for a light-emitting diode, LED, lighting device. The method comprises the steps of: providing cerium-doped, Ce, holmium oxide, HO2O3, wherein the cerium-doped holmium oxide comprises 0.1 - 10 wt% cerium compared to the total cerium- doped holmium oxide, preferably 2 - 6 wt% Ce, more preferably 3 - 5 wt% Ce, most preferably 4 wt% Ce; providing a binding agent; and mixing the cerium-doped holmium oxide and the binding agent to form a mixture, so that the content of cerium-doped holmium oxide is 6 to 88 wt% in the mixture.
Thus, the first, second and third aspects of the present invention are based on the idea of providing a coating for a LED lighting device. The coating comprises cerium- doped holmium oxide and a binding agent, wherein the content of cerium-doped holmium oxide in the coating is 6 to 88 wt%. The coating may provide high optical efficiency for a LED lighting device, and a more aesthetically appealing light effect during operation.
The present invention is advantageous in that the coating may diffuse light emitted by a LED lighting device, and that the optical efficiency when used with a LED lighting device may be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a LED lighting device 130 comprising a LED light source 110. It should be noted that the LED light source 110 may be substantially any light source comprising one or more LEDs (e.g. a LED filament) and that the LED light source 110 shown in Fig. 1 is shown as an example. The LED lighting device 130 further comprises a cover 120, wherein the cover 120 is arranged to at least partially enclose the LED light source 110. The cover 120 is an enclosing element, such as a cap, bulb, envelope, or the like, comprising an at least partially translucent and/or transparent material. The at least partially translucent and/or transparent material may be glass or plastic or a combination of the two. In Fig. 1, the cover 120 is a bulb comprising glass. The LED lighting device 130 further comprises a coating 100, wherein the coating comprises cerium-doped holmium oxide. The coating 100 further comprises a binding agent which is used for adhering the coating to the cover 120. The coating 100 is adhered on at least a part of the inside surface of the cover 120. The coating 100 may be applied to the cover by spraying methods. The spraying method is even more effective if the binding agent is an electrostatic powder and the coating 100 is substantially a powder. It is to be understood that the coating 100 may be on the outside and/or the inside of the cover 120. For example, the coating 100 may be on both the inside and outside of the cover 120, concurrently. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the coating 100 may partially or completely cover any surface of the cover 120. The thickness of the coating 100 may vary, or be homogenous, over the surface of the cover 120, on which it is adhered.
It will be appreciated that the materials in the coating 100 is relatively inexpensive. More specifically, the cerium-doped holmium oxide in the coating 100 has a lower, or even significantly lower, price per weight (kilogram). The coating 100 provides a plurality of positive effects when used in conjunction with a LED lighting device 130. For example, the emitted light, via the cover 120 and hence the coating 100, may comprise more sought-after wavelengths, namely the emitted light may comprise less blue light than if the coating 100 would not be used. In other words, the coating 100 may focus on transmitting
light with a wavelength above approximately 500 nm. Another positive effect of the coating 100 used in Fig. 1 is that the emitted light is diffused, to at least provide a more pleasing light. In Fig. 1, the light emitted by the LED lighting device 130, i.e. the light emitted by the LED light source 100 which is transmitted via the coating 100 and cover 120, may be more decorative and aesthetically pleasing, at a less expensive price. Furthermore, in Fig. 1, the optical efficiency of the LED lighting device 130 is high when the coating 100 is adhered to the cover 120, even up to 100%.
Fig. 2a-2b shows schematic views of a tubular shaped LED lighting device 130 (e g. a TLED device). The LED lighting device 130 comprises a LED light source 110. The LED lighting device 130 further comprises a cover 120, wherein the cover 120 is arranged to at least partially enclose the LED light source 110. In Fig. 2a-2b, the cover 120 has a tubular shape. The LED lighting device 130 further comprises a coating 100, wherein the coating 100 is adhered on the inside of the cover 120, i.e. on the side of the cover facing the LED light source 110. In Fig. 2, the optical efficiency of the LED lighting device 130, when the coating 100 is adhered to the cover 120, may be up to 95.5%.
Fig. 3 shows a graph illustrating the relation between the wavelength and the relative intensity of the emitted light of a LED lighting device using the coating of the present invention. Fig. 3 shows, on the vertical axis, relative intensity, wherein the relative intensity may be defined as the ratio between the intensity of the light emitted by a light source and the light emitted by a black body light source as a reference. Fig. 3 shows, on the horizontal axis, wavelength in nanometers. The graph shows three different series corresponding to experiments made of the relative intensity at different wavelengths for a LED device using the coating according to the present invention. The three series correspond to a coating with a content of holmium oxide in the coating of 15 wt%, 10 wt% and 0 wt% respectively. The data for each of the three series comprise data from a plurality of experiments using a coating with the respective wt%, and shows an average of the data from those experiments. The black body light output is assumed to be an even line along the 100% line on the vertical axis. Therefore, some data points may show a value higher than 100%. In Fig. 3, the difference in relative intensity when using a coating comprising holmium oxide, and a coating not comprising holmium oxide, may be observed when comparing the 0 wt% series and the 10/15 wt% series. Accordingly, it may be observed that the relative intensity is significantly lower in the blue portion, i.e. the lower end of the spectrum, when the LED lighting device is coated with a coating of the present application, compared to when the LED lighting device is coated with a coating which does not comprise any holmium oxide. Furthermore, it may be observed that the relative intensity when using a coating comprising holmium oxide is higher in the green to yellow portions of the spectrum, i.e. the upper end of the spectrum, which may be beneficial since the human eyes are more sensitive to the green and yellow portions of the spectrum. Thus, it may be clear from observing Fig. 3 and the difference in relative intensity between
using a coating comprising holmium oxide, and using a coating not comprising holmium oxide, that the optical efficiency is improved when using a coating comprising holmium oxide according to the present invention.
