In this paper, the fabricated white OLED contains a 452-nm blue emitting layer （thickness of 30 nm） with 1 wt% LOFX doped in CBP （4,4＇-bis（carbazol-9-yl）biphenyl） host and a 584-nm orange emitting layer （thickness of 10 nm） with 0.8 wt% DCJTB （4-（dicyanomethylene）-2-tert-butyl-6-（1,1,7,7- tetramethyljulolidin-4-yl-vinyl）-4H-pyran） doped in CBE which are separated by a 20-nm-thick buffer layer of TPBi （2,2＇,2＂-（benzene-1,3,5-triyl）-tri（1-phenyl-lH-benzimidazole）.

In this paper, the high color rendering index （HCRI）-BIPV window system is developed to be used in the indoor environmental control, whose module material has appeared to be effective in improving the visible transmittance and reducing the absorption. This paper describes the performance of grid-connected HCRI-BIPV window system with 0.75 kWp capacity installed in an office building for a natural ventilation solution. The experimental results indicate that accumulative power generation of the HCRI-BIPV window system is 157.60 WKh during the 7-month experiment period. For consideration of each evaluated factors, the HCRI-BIPV window system not only offers the passive energy situation for its power loading but also improves the indoor thermal environment by natural ventilation.展开更多

Herein, the n-type IL, for the first time,has been demonstrated to achieve a high efficiency, high color rendering index(CRI), and low voltage trade-off.The device exhibits a maximum total efficiency of 41.5 lm W^(-1), the highest among hybrid WOLEDs with n-type ILs. In addition, high CRIs(80–88) at practical luminances(C1000 cd m^(-2)) have been obtained, satisfying the demand for indoor lighting. Remarkably, a CRI of 88 is the highest among hybrid WOLEDs. Moreover, the device exhibits low voltages, with a turn-on voltage of only 2.5 V([1 cd m^(-2)), which is the lowest among hybrid WOLEDs. The intrinsic working mechanism of the device has also been explored; in particular, the role of n-type ILs in regulating the distribution of charges and excitons has been unveiled. The findings demonstrate that the introduction of n-type ILs is effective in developing high-performance hybrid WOLEDs.展开更多

The peak wavelength of InGaN based blue LED chip ranges from 450 to 471 nm, while those of Ca3Sc2Si3012：Ce3＋, b-SiA1ON：Eu2＋, and Y3A15012：Ce3＋ based green/yellow phosphors range from 511 to 572 nm, and those of Sr2SisN8：Eu2＋ and CaA1SiN3：Eu2＋ red phosphors range from 620 to 650 nm, which cover almost all the practically used, commercially available wave bands until now. Then, based on the results, selection guides of peak wavelengths for blue LED chip and phosphors to obtain tradeoff LER 〉280 lm.W-1 as well as CRI 〉80 in all CCTs are proposed. The favorable wave bands of each primary are suggested.展开更多

文摘Achieving a high color rendering index(CRI)and luminous stability in single-structured Ce:Y_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)(Ce:YAG)phosphor ceramics(PCs)is crucial for high-power white light-emitting diodes or laser diodes(LEDs/LDs).However,cyan valleys and insufficient amounts of the red component in the Ce:YAG emission spectra significantly limit their real applications.In this work,a series of Ce,Mn:Y_(3)(Al,Sc)_(2)Al_(3)O_(12)(Ce,Mn:YSAG)PCs were fabricated by vacuum sintering,and efficient spectral regulation was realized for full-color lighting.The cyan valley was filled by the blueshifted emission peak of Ce^(3+)via Sc^(3+)doping.The orange‒red emission at approximately 580 nm was effectively supplemented via Mn^(2+)doping.In particular,CRI of Ce,Mn:YSAG increased from 56.4 to 85.8,a 52%increase compared with that of Ce:YAG under high-power LED excitation,and the operating temperature was stable at approximately 50℃for long working time.Moreover,CRI of 80.9 could still be obtained for PC-based white LDs.These results indicated that Ce,Mn:YSAG PC,which has excellent CRI and luminous stability,is an extremely promising color convertor for high-power white LEDs/LDs.

文摘Realizing a high color rendering index(CRI)in Ce:LuAG transparent ceramics(TCs)with desired thermal stability is essential to their applications in white LEDs/LDs as color converters.In this study,based on the scheme of configuring the red component by Cr^(3+) doping,an efficient spectral regulation was realized in Ce,Cr:LuAG TCs.A unilateral shift phenomenon could be observed in both photoluminescence(PL)and photoluminescence excitation(PLE)spectra of TCs.By constructing TC-based white LED/LD devices in a remote excitation mode,luminescence properties of Ce,Cr:LuAG TCs were systematically investigated.The CRI values of Ce:LuAG TC based white LEDs could be increased by a magnitude of 46.2%.Particularly,by combining the as fabricated Ce,Cr:LuAG TCs with a 0.5 at% Ce:YAG TC,surprising CRI values of 88 and 85.5 were obtained in TC based white LEDs and LDs,respectively.Therefore,Ce,Cr:LuAG TC is a highly promising color convertor for high-power white LEDs/LDs applied in general lighting and displaying.

文摘A three-layered phosphor structure was designed and prepared by the spin coating of BaSi_(2)N_(2)O_(2):Eu(cyan-emitting)and(Sr,Ca)AlSiN_(3):Eu(red-emitting)phosphor films on the yellowemitting Y_(3)Al_(5)O_(12):Ce(YAG:Ce)phosphor ceramic synthesized by the solid-state reaction under vacuum sintering.In order to achieve high color rendering lighting,the influence of the composition and structure of the three-layered phosphors on the optical,thermal,and electrical properties of the chip-on-board(COB)packaged white-light-emitting diodes(WLEDs)was studied systematically.The WLED with the structure of“red+cyan+yellow”(R+C+Y)three-layered phosphor generated neutral white light and had a luminous efficacy of 75 lm/W,the fidelity index(R_(f))of 93,the gamut index(R_(g))of 97,and the correlated color temperature(CCT)of 3852 K.Under the excitation of laser diode(LD),the layer-structured phosphor yielded the white light with a luminous efficacy of 120 lm/W,color rendering index(CRI)of 90,and CCT of 5988 K.The result indicates that the three-layered phosphor structure is a promising candidate to achieve high color rendering and high luminous efficacy lighting.

文摘We packaged a series of high power white LEDs by covering the blue LED chips with yellow phosphor, red phosphor and the two phosphors mixed by appropriate mass ratio, respectively, and discussed the excitation and emission spectrum of yellow phosphor and red phosphor and the characteristics of the LEDs. We found that the luminous efficacy of the white LEDs covered with the two phosphors mixed by appropriate mass ratio was lower than that of the white LEDs covered with yellow phosphor, but the color rendering index was improved observably.

文摘We report a unique red light-emitting Eu-doped borosilicate glass to convert color for warm white light-emitting diodes. This glass can be excited from 394 nm-peaked near ultraviolet light, 466 nm-peaked blue light, to 534 nm- peaked green light to emit the desired red light with an excellent transmission in the wavelength range of 400-700 nm which makes this glass suitable for color conversion without a great cost of luminous power loss. In particular, when assembling this glass for commercial white light-emitting diodes, the tested results show that the color rendering index is improved to 84 with a loss of luminous power by 12 percent at average, making this variety of glass promising for inorganic ＂remote-phosphor＂ color conversion.

文摘The building integrated photovoltaics （BIPV） application is one of the main study topics in the sustainable building field. In this paper, the high color rendering index （HCRI）-BIPV window system is developed to be used in the indoor environmental control, whose module material has appeared to be effective in improving the visible transmittance and reducing the absorption. This paper describes the performance of grid-connected HCRI-BIPV window system with 0.75 kWp capacity installed in an office building for a natural ventilation solution. The experimental results indicate that accumulative power generation of the HCRI-BIPV window system is 157.60 WKh during the 7-month experiment period. For consideration of each evaluated factors, the HCRI-BIPV window system not only offers the passive energy situation for its power loading but also improves the indoor thermal environment by natural ventilation.

文摘The interlayer(IL) plays a vital role in hybrid white organic light-emitting diodes(WOLEDs); however,only a negligible amount of attention has been given to n-type ILs. Herein, the n-type IL, for the first time,has been demonstrated to achieve a high efficiency, high color rendering index(CRI), and low voltage trade-off.The device exhibits a maximum total efficiency of 41.5 lm W^(-1), the highest among hybrid WOLEDs with n-type ILs. In addition, high CRIs(80–88) at practical luminances(C1000 cd m^(-2)) have been obtained, satisfying the demand for indoor lighting. Remarkably, a CRI of 88 is the highest among hybrid WOLEDs. Moreover, the device exhibits low voltages, with a turn-on voltage of only 2.5 V([1 cd m^(-2)), which is the lowest among hybrid WOLEDs. The intrinsic working mechanism of the device has also been explored; in particular, the role of n-type ILs in regulating the distribution of charges and excitons has been unveiled. The findings demonstrate that the introduction of n-type ILs is effective in developing high-performance hybrid WOLEDs.

文摘Color rendition,luminous efficacy and reliability are three key technical parameters for white light-emitting diodes(wLEDs)that are dominantly determined by down-conversion phosphors.However,there is usually an inevitable trade-off between color rendition and luminescence efficacy because the spectrum of red phosphor(that is,spectral broadness and position)cannot satisfy them simultaneously.In this work,we report a very promising red phosphor that can minimize the aforementioned trade-off via structure and band-gap engineering,achieved by introducing isostructural LiSi_(2)N_(3) into CaAlSiN_(3):Eu^(2+).The solid solution phosphors show both substantial spectra broadening(88→117 nm)and blueshift(652→642 nm),along with a significant improvement in thermal quenching(only a 6%reduction at 150℃),which are strongly associated with electronic and crystal structure evolutions.The broadband and robust red phosphor thus enables fabrication of super-high color rendering wLEDs(Ra=95 and R9=96)concurrently with the maintenance of a high-luminous efficacy(101 lm W^(−1)),validating its superiority in highperformance solid state lightings over currently used red phosphors.

文摘The dependences of light efficiency of radiation （LER） and color-rendering index （CRI） of trichromatic white light-emitting diode （wLED）, composed of blue LED die, green/yellow, and red phosphors, on the peak wave- length of each primary were investigated by theoretical calculations, at correlative color temperature （CCT） from 2,700 to 6,500 K. The peak wavelength of InGaN based blue LED chip ranges from 450 to 471 nm, while those of Ca3Sc2Si3012：Ce3＋, b-SiA1ON：Eu2＋, and Y3A15012：Ce3＋ based green/yellow phosphors range from 511 to 572 nm, and those of Sr2SisN8：Eu2＋ and CaA1SiN3：Eu2＋ red phosphors range from 620 to 650 nm, which cover almost all the practically used, commercially available wave bands until now. Then, based on the results, selection guides of peak wavelengths for blue LED chip and phosphors to obtain tradeoff LER 〉280 lm.W-1 as well as CRI 〉80 in all CCTs are proposed. The favorable wave bands of each primary are suggested.

文摘A broadband blue-emitting Sr_(1-x)Ca_(x)Lu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+)(x=0-0.2) phospho rs were synthesized,which can be used for near-UV pumped white light-emitting diodes(w-LEDs).The crystal structures,photoluminescence pro perties,external quantum efficiency,the rmal stability and application perfo rmance of Sr_(1-x)Ca_(x)Lu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+),by partially substituting Sr^(2+) with Ca^(2+)(x=0-0.2),were studied by various analytical techniques.When the Ca/Sr ratio of Sr_(1-x)Ca_(x)Lu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+) gradually increases,the emission peak of Sr_(1-x)Ca_(x)Lu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+) red-shiftes from 459 to 465 nm,corrected external quantum efficiency increases from 31.8% to 42.9%,and the thermal stability is also improved.The mechanism of the changes of the photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra,external quantum efficiency and thermal stability properties was also investigated in detail.In addition,a w-LED was fabricated by using SrLu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+)(blue),β-sialon:Eu^(2+)(green) and(Sr,Ca)AlSiN_(3):Eu^(2+)(red) phosphors combined with a 405 nm near-UV LED chip,and its color rendering index(CRI) reaches 96.0.When Sr_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Lu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+) is applied as blue phosphor to substitute SrLu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+),the obtained w-LED devices have high luminous efficiency,and CRI greater than 95.0.These re sults show that the Sr_(1-x)Ca_(x)Lu_(2)O_(4):Ce^(3+) can be potential blue phosphors for n-UV pumped high CRI w-LEDs application.

文摘The development of single-component white emitters for white light-emitting diodes(WLEDs)remains challenging.Herein,a rare earth-free white light-emitting composite is developed by assembling blue-emitting carbon dots(CDs)and yellow-emitting Cs_(2)InCl_(5)·H_(2)O:Sb^(3+)metal halide crystals via a facile liquid-liquid diffusion-assisted crystallization approach.The encapsulation mechanism is then analyzed.Depending on the ratios of blue/yellow emitters,these luminescent composites exhibit white light emission with tunable cold and warm hues.The composites also possess prominent ultraviolet resistance,thermal tolerance,and good stability at about 200°C.By employing such“CDs in metal halide”composites as a converter,a WLED is successfully fabricated with a high color rendering index of 93.6,benefiting from the assembled blue and yellow broadband emission.With this strategy,the developed composites show great promise in next-generation WLED lighting.
