Enhancement of efficiency and CCT uniformity for red phosphor thin films, red LEDs and laminated white LEDs based on near-ultraviolet LEDs using MgO nanoparticles

Abstract

Red phosphor thin films (PTFs) with different MgO nanoparticle concentrations for near-ultraviolet (NUV) LEDs were prepared based on their strong scattering effect; red LEDs and laminated white LEDs were packaged further. SEM and XRD showed that CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ (CASN) and MgO nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in silicone resin and their crystal structure remained unchanged. The phosphor conversion efficiency (PCE) had a maximum value of 83.15% when the MgO nanoparticle concentration was 15 wt%. An increase of concentration can improve the spatial distribution uniformity of photonics for 410 nm, 627 nm and 660 nm. Fluorescence lifetime showed that the value is positively correlated with concentration change. The packaged red LED luminous flux reaches a maximum of 20.337 lm at a concentration of 15 wt%. The laminated white LED showed that the MgO nanoparticle concentration can be used to adjust the correlated color temperature (CCT) from 4322 K to 1987 K. Under similar CCT, the red phosphor concentration is only 1.83 wt%, the dosage is reduced by 56.12%, and the corresponding luminous efficiency of radiation (LER) and luminous efficiency (LE) are 296.03 lm W−1 and 73.72 lm W−1 respectively. The increase was 11.42%, the decrease was 10.14%, the color rendering index (CRI) increased from 90.6 to 91.8, and CCT uniformity increased from 82.04% to 89.27% with an increase of 8.81%. Research shows that MgO nanoparticles have potential application value in the preparation of high-quality white LEDs.
