This study investigates the optical and electrical characteristics in hybrid warm white high-voltage light-emitting diodes (HV-LEDs). The luminous efficiency of the hybrid warm white LED in this study improved by 11% and 51%, compared to conventional cool and warm LEDs, respectively, solving the warm white gap in white LEDs. The efficiency droop of the hybrid warm white LED was reduced to 21.8% from 26.8% for the conventional cool white LED, and from 26.3% in the conventional warm white LED at 40 mA (35 A/cm(2)) the operated current. Furthermore, the color rendering index (CRI) and angular correlated color temperature (CCT) were analyzed, indicating a significant improvement in hybrid warm white HV-LEDs.

This study experimentally and numerically examines the correlated color temperature (CCT) stability issue for hybrid warm white high-voltage light-emitting diodes (HV-LEDs) by using a current compensation method. This method could efficiently maintain the CCT stability factor at approximately 1.0 and yield greater color uniformity with Delta u'v' values ranging from 0.017 to 0.003 in CIE 1976 chromaticity coordinates. The simulation results show that the red chip intensity drop is the primary cause of CCT instability in the hybrid warm white system when the temperature increases. Therefore, Furthermore, results indicate that the relative lumen drop improves from 21% to 15% by using a current compensation method. (c) 2013 Optical Society of America

The high luminous efficiency and superior uniformity of angular-dependent correlated color temperature (CCT) white light-emitting diodes have been investigated by ZrO2 nano-particles in a remote phosphor structure. By adding ZrO2 nano-particles with silicone onto the surface of the phosphor layer, the capability of light scattering could be enhanced. In particular, the intensity of blue light at large angles was increased and the CCT deviations could be reduced. Besides, the luminous flux was improved due to the ZrO2 nano-particles with silicone providing a suitable refractive index between air and phosphor layers. This novel structure reduces angular-dependent CCT deviations from 1000 to 420 K in the range of -70 degrees to 70 degrees. Moreover, the enhancement of lumen flux was increased by 2.25% at a driving current 120 mA, compared to a conventional remote phosphor structure without ZrO2 nano-particles. Consequently, the ZrO2 nano-particles in a remote phosphor structure could not only improve the uniformity of lighting but also increase the light output.
