摘要
Enhancement of phosphor efficiency is reported for GaInN-based white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) employing a large separation between the primary LED emitter and the wavelength converter, and a diffuse reflector cup. Ray-tracing simulations show that extraction efficiency of wavelength-converted light is enhanced by 75%. The experimental improvement in phosphor efficiency of blue-pumped yellow phosphor is 15.4% compared with conventional phosphor-based white LEDs. The improvement is attributed to reduced re-absorption of wavelength-converted light by the LED chip.
