Phosphor-in-glass thick film formation with low sintering temperature phosphosilicate glass for robust white LED

초록

Phosphor-in-glass (PiG) thick film was fabricated on a borosilicate glass substrate using a conventional screen printing method and employing phosphosilicate glass to allow low-temperature sintering. The vehicle content and sintering temperature were optimized to form a thick film with a thickness of similar to 50m. Commercial yellow (Y3Al5O12:Ce3+) and red (CaAlSiN3:Eu2+) phosphors were successfully incorporated within the glass matrix and then sintered at 550 degrees C. Color-tunable white LEDs were achieved using the PiG thick films as a color converter by varying the glass to phosphor (GtP) ratio. The high luminous efficacy of up to similar to 120lm/W and high color rendering index of up to 89 in combination with the thermal quenching property prove the practical feasibility of the PiG thick films for high-power/high-brightness LED applications.
