- the light emission device has a spectral output that differs from the spectral character of each of the LED dies, and that differs from the phosphor output.
- the light emission device of the invention may be constituted to achieve a superior color rendering that matches predetermined spectral distributions of light, e.g., sunlight, candle light (or other fire), or light produced by incandescent bulbs.
- the light emission device of the invention may be fabricated to provide a white light output having a color temperature in one of the following white light color temperature regimes (A), (B) and (C):

- the lifetimes of LEDs are typically measured in the tens of thousands of hours, and that the change in output over such period of time may be relatively small as regards the
- the invention contemplates the combination of LEDs and phosphors that are selectively matched in the device including same, to achieve a predetermined character of output emission.
- the invention in another embodiment thereof, to use a combination of LEDs and phosphors that are matched in the light emission device, to provide a change of color at a predetermined point in the service life of the device.
- the change of color may be relatively rapid in transition, e.g., to prompt an action on the part of a user or a service technician, such as change-out of the illumination device, or change-out of a battery or other power supply means for such device, or other maintenance or service or other action that is desirably carried out after a period of operation and that is indicatable by a prompting color change.
- the invention is discussed primarily herein in reference to the generation of a visible illumination output, i.e., in a visible illumination spectrum, the invention nonetheless also is broadly applicable to the generation of emission outputs in non-visible spectral regions, e.g., in an IR spectrum, UV spectrum or other non-visible spectrum.
- the light emission device of the invention differs from prior LED-phosphor devices, in the provision of multiple differing LED dies, each associated with the phosphor material in the device.
- the phosphor material can contain one or more than one phosphor species, as desired in a specific end use application of the invention.
- the phosphor material is stimulated by radiation from LED die element(s) of the light emission device, so as to produce a phosphor output of particular spectral character.
- the spectral output of the overall device therefore will be a composite radiation that will be "smoothed" or otherwise blended, in relation to a corresponding device with only a single LED die.
- Individual phosphor species can be selected to absorb all or substantially all of the radiation emitted by a given LED die, or alternatively to absorb only a portion of the incident radiation thereon derived from the LED die while allowing the remainder of the emission from the LED die to transmit unabsorbed from the light emission device.
- the light emission device is provided as a unitary article including the multiple LED dies and phosphor(s) in a protective package, in which the multiple dies are arranged in an array overlaid by the phosphor material.
- the multiple LED dies can for example be positioned on one or more reflector cups or other support structure, with the phosphor material overlying the dies being provided as a layer of the phosphor material.
- the phosphor material when including multiple phosphor species can be constituted as a uniform, e.g., substantially homogeneous, mixture of the respective phosphors.
- the invention it is contemplated by the invention to shape the phosphor(s) in an overlying coating or mass on the LED(s) so as to match the thickness of the phosphor to the primary emission of the LED(s), so that the primary emission radiation traverses a generally same thickness of the phosphor coating or mass, over the entire periphery or output surfaces of the LED(s), to thereby provide better uniformity of spectral output from the illumination device.
- the invention also contemplates the shaping of the LED die to provide a directionally enhanced emission of primary radiation, or a more uniform emission of primary radiation than is otherwise achievable in the absence of such LED die shaping. In various embodiments of the invention, therefore, it may be desirable to conformally coat phosphor material(s) on the LED die(s) to achieve a predetermined advantageous character of the light emission device.
- the phosphor material may be applied over the multiple dies in any suitable manner, e.g., in a curable liquid formulation that is potted, dip-coated, brushed, rolled, sprayed or otherwise applied over the multiple dies, e.g., to form a layer of the phosphor material in which the phosphor component(s) are homogeneously dispersed in the layer.
- LED dies it may be desirable in specific applications to place the LED dies in respective individual reflector cups and to mount the cups in a single "bulb" or package. Alternatively, it may be desirable to dispose all LED dies inside a single reflector package. Multiple phosphors may be spread over multiple LED dies or a select phosphor may be spread over a specific LED die. Individual LED die/phosphor packaging may be employed, with each LED die being arranged to impinge emitted energy on a phosphor to produce an integrated output light from the device. [0044] To control the amount of light emitted by the LED dies, current can be sourced individually to each of the dies, if the associated cost and complexity of wiring and power supply arrangements is suitable for the intended end use application. Alternatively, light output of the light emission device can be controlled by variation in die fabrication, die number, die shape, die size (area), contact quality, overall structure resistance, or the like, or other aspects of the LED design.
- the phosphor material can be of any suitable type, including for example, YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) phosphor, CaGa 2 S 4 :Eu 2+ phosphor, ZnGa 2 S 4 --Mn 2+ phosphor, SrSCu+,Na phosphor, CaSO 4 IBi phosphor or any other suitable type of phosphor material.
- the phosphor material may include components other than the phosphor(s) per se, such as a carrier medium in which the phosphor(s) are dispersed.
- the carrier medium includes a glass or a polymeric composition that is suitably transmissive of emitted energy, e.g., from the LED die and/or phosphor components, to provide the desired character of light output from the light emission device.
- Polymeric compositions useful for such purpose may be of any appropriate type, including, without limitation, compositions containing polyolefin, polyimide, polysulfone, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polycarbonate, or corresponding copolymers.
- the phosphor(s) may be dispersed in the carrier medium in a particulate or other discontinuous form, in an amount ensuring a desired character and extent of conversion of LED die-emitted energy to light output from the phosphor(s) in the carrier medium.
- the provision of multiple differing LED dies in a unitary packaging with the phosphor material affords a compact and efficient structure capable of producing a high intensity light output of a desired spectral character.
- the radiative emissions of the respective dies and phosphor(s) can be integrated in a manner achieving close matches to predetermined illumination spectra, such as a spectrum of sunlight, candle light or light emitted by a conventional incandescent filament light bulb.
- LED dies and phosphor(s) thus can be made in a manner that results in small energy differences between the LED dies, as illuminating sources, and phosphor(s) emissively responding to impingement of energy from such dies, so that highly efficient light production is achieved.

Description
LIGHT EMISSION DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] This invention relates generally to light emission devices incorporating light emitting diode (LED) and phosphor components.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] In the illumination art, a variety of approaches have been employed to produce light of desired spectral character.
[0003] LEDs have come into widespread usage as a result of their advantages, which include small size, long life, low energy consumption, and low heat generation.
[0004] U.S. Patent 6,513,949 issued February 4, 2003 describes a hybrid lighting system for producing white light, including at least one LED and a phosphor-LED, in which the color and number of the LEDs and/or the phosphor of the phosphor-LED may be varied.
[0005] U.S. Patent 6,600,175 issued July 29, 2004 describes a light emitting assembly including an LED emitting a first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, and a down-converting luminophoric medium, e.g., phosphoric medium, that in exposure to such first radiation, responsively emits a second, relatively longer wavelength radiation.
[0006] White LED devices have been commercialized that utilize a blue LED and a YAG phosphor (Y3Al5Oi2 doped with cerium) that partially absorbs blue radiation (centered on 470-480 nm) from the blue LED and emits light having a broad wavelength range with a dominant yellow characteristic (centered on ~ 550-600 nm).
[0007] The commercially available LED/phosphor devices for production of white light do not provide high conversion efficiency color rendering in various spectral regimes of interest. For example, in many applications, consumers prefer white light having color (as quantifiable by color temperature and color rendering index values) that matches sunlight, conventional incandescent bulb light, or fire light such as candle light.
[0008] There is accordingly a continuing need in the art for efficient LED/phosphor illumination systems producing light having a color rendering that closely matches a predetermined spectral distribution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
[0026] The present invention relates to light emission devices incorporating light emitting diode (LED) and phosphor components.
[0027] Light emission devices of the invention enable excellent color rendering to be achieved by the provision of at least two LED dies having differing spectral character from one another, and a phosphor material including one or more phosphors. The phosphor material is arranged to receive energy from at least one of the multiple LED dies and to responsively emit a phosphor output, as at least part of spectral output of the light emission device. The light emission device has a spectral output that differs from the spectral character of each of the LED dies, and that differs from the phosphor output.
[0028] By integrating the emissions of the multiple LED dies and the phosphor material containing at least one phosphor component, the light emission device of the invention may be constituted to achieve a superior color rendering that matches predetermined spectral distributions of light, e.g., sunlight, candle light (or other fire), or light produced by incandescent bulbs. [0029] By way of specific example, the light emission device of the invention may be fabricated to provide a white light output having a color temperature in one of the following white light color temperature regimes (A), (B) and (C):
(A) white light having a color temperature in a range of from 13500K to 155O0K;
(B) white light having a color temperature in a range of from 24000K to 355O0K;
(C) white light having a color temperature in a range of from 49500K to 60500K.
[0030] As further specific examples, the color temperature of candles is ~1500°K, the color temperature of incandescent bulbs is ~2680-3000°K, the color temperature of sunrise and sunset is ~3200°K, and the color temperature of a sunny day at noon is ~5500°K. By appropriate selection of LED die components and phosphor species, a close approach to the color temperature of interest can be achieved in the light output of the light emission device.
[0031] In various specific embodiments of the invention, such as those illustratively mentioned above, the spectral output of the light emission device can be white light, hi other embodiments, the spectral output of the light emission device can be light having a specific color other than white light. In still further embodiments, the spectral output of the light emission device may include output that is outside the visible iight spectrum.
[0032] The invention achieves superior color rendering at good conversion efficiency, and provides degrees of freedom in light emission device design that permit optimal spectral outputs to be achieved, e.g., of a specific spectral profile, or of a spectral character that is resistant to color change over the service life of the device. In the latter respect, it is known that phosphors and LEDs tend to age, leading to color changes over time. The light emission device of the invention, by virtue of its multiple LED die components and one or more phosphor components, may be fabricated and arranged to compensate for aging of LEDs and/or phosphors. [0033] It is contemplated by the invention to utilize a predetermined combination of LED(s) and phosphor(s) that are matched to one another in their aging profiles so that there is a consistent aging of the overall device during its service life, so that the color of the output light is maintained over the entire service life, albeit possibly changing in intensity as the device ages. In this respect, it is pointed out that the lifetimes of LEDs are typically measured in the tens of thousands of
hours, and that the change in output over such period of time may be relatively small as regards the
LEDs of the device.
[0034] More generally, the invention contemplates the combination of LEDs and phosphors that are selectively matched in the device including same, to achieve a predetermined character of output emission.
[0035] It also is contemplated by the invention, in another embodiment thereof, to use a combination of LEDs and phosphors that are matched in the light emission device, to provide a change of color at a predetermined point in the service life of the device. For such purpose, the change of color may be relatively rapid in transition, e.g., to prompt an action on the part of a user or a service technician, such as change-out of the illumination device, or change-out of a battery or other power supply means for such device, or other maintenance or service or other action that is desirably carried out after a period of operation and that is indicatable by a prompting color change.
[0036] Although the invention is discussed primarily herein in reference to the generation of a visible illumination output, i.e., in a visible illumination spectrum, the invention nonetheless also is broadly applicable to the generation of emission outputs in non-visible spectral regions, e.g., in an IR spectrum, UV spectrum or other non-visible spectrum.
[0037] The light emission device of the invention differs from prior LED-phosphor devices, in the provision of multiple differing LED dies, each associated with the phosphor material in the device.
[0038] The phosphor material can contain one or more than one phosphor species, as desired in a specific end use application of the invention.
[0039] The phosphor material is stimulated by radiation from LED die element(s) of the light emission device, so as to produce a phosphor output of particular spectral character. The spectral output of the overall device therefore will be a composite radiation that will be "smoothed" or otherwise blended, in relation to a corresponding device with only a single LED die. Individual phosphor species can be selected to absorb all or substantially all of the radiation emitted by a given LED die, or alternatively to absorb only a portion of the incident radiation thereon derived from the LED die while allowing the remainder of the emission from the LED die to transmit unabsorbed from the light emission device.
[0040] In one embodiment, the light emission device is provided as a unitary article including the multiple LED dies and phosphor(s) in a protective package, in which the multiple dies are arranged in an array overlaid by the phosphor material. The multiple LED dies can for example be
positioned on one or more reflector cups or other support structure, with the phosphor material overlying the dies being provided as a layer of the phosphor material. The phosphor material when including multiple phosphor species can be constituted as a uniform, e.g., substantially homogeneous, mixture of the respective phosphors.
[0041] It is contemplated by the invention to shape the phosphor(s) in an overlying coating or mass on the LED(s) so as to match the thickness of the phosphor to the primary emission of the LED(s), so that the primary emission radiation traverses a generally same thickness of the phosphor coating or mass, over the entire periphery or output surfaces of the LED(s), to thereby provide better uniformity of spectral output from the illumination device. The invention also contemplates the shaping of the LED die to provide a directionally enhanced emission of primary radiation, or a more uniform emission of primary radiation than is otherwise achievable in the absence of such LED die shaping. In various embodiments of the invention, therefore, it may be desirable to conformally coat phosphor material(s) on the LED die(s) to achieve a predetermined advantageous character of the light emission device.
[0042] The phosphor material may be applied over the multiple dies in any suitable manner, e.g., in a curable liquid formulation that is potted, dip-coated, brushed, rolled, sprayed or otherwise applied over the multiple dies, e.g., to form a layer of the phosphor material in which the phosphor component(s) are homogeneously dispersed in the layer.
[0043] It may be desirable in specific applications to place the LED dies in respective individual reflector cups and to mount the cups in a single "bulb" or package. Alternatively, it may be desirable to dispose all LED dies inside a single reflector package. Multiple phosphors may be spread over multiple LED dies or a select phosphor may be spread over a specific LED die. Individual LED die/phosphor packaging may be employed, with each LED die being arranged to impinge emitted energy on a phosphor to produce an integrated output light from the device. [0044] To control the amount of light emitted by the LED dies, current can be sourced individually to each of the dies, if the associated cost and complexity of wiring and power supply arrangements is suitable for the intended end use application. Alternatively, light output of the light emission device can be controlled by variation in die fabrication, die number, die shape, die size (area), contact quality, overall structure resistance, or the like, or other aspects of the LED design.
[0045] The phosphor material can be of any suitable type, including for example, YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) phosphor, CaGa2S4:Eu2+ phosphor, ZnGa2S4--Mn2+ phosphor, SrSCu+,Na phosphor, CaSO4IBi phosphor or any other suitable type of phosphor material.
[0046] The phosphor material may include components other than the phosphor(s) per se, such as a carrier medium in which the phosphor(s) are dispersed. In one embodiment, the carrier medium includes a glass or a polymeric composition that is suitably transmissive of emitted energy, e.g., from the LED die and/or phosphor components, to provide the desired character of light output from the light emission device. Polymeric compositions useful for such purpose may be of any appropriate type, including, without limitation, compositions containing polyolefin, polyimide, polysulfone, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polycarbonate, or corresponding copolymers.
[0047] The phosphor(s) may be dispersed in the carrier medium in a particulate or other discontinuous form, in an amount ensuring a desired character and extent of conversion of LED die-emitted energy to light output from the phosphor(s) in the carrier medium. [0048] The provision of multiple differing LED dies in a unitary packaging with the phosphor material affords a compact and efficient structure capable of producing a high intensity light output of a desired spectral character. By appropriate selection of the different LED dies and phosphor(s) for the light emission device, the radiative emissions of the respective dies and phosphor(s) can be integrated in a manner achieving close matches to predetermined illumination spectra, such as a spectrum of sunlight, candle light or light emitted by a conventional incandescent filament light bulb.
[0049] The selection of LED dies and phosphor(s) thus can be made in a manner that results in small energy differences between the LED dies, as illuminating sources, and phosphor(s) emissively responding to impingement of energy from such dies, so that highly efficient light production is achieved.
[0050] The invention will now be described in relation to the drawings, in which FIG. 1 is a sectional elevation view of a light emission device 10 according to one embodiment of the invention. The device 10 is shown in a simplified schematic form for clarity of description and illustration, without depiction of additional light extracting optics, e.g., reflecting surfaces, or focusing lens(es), and without depiction of wiring, package leads, bond structures, power supplies or the like.
[0051] The light emitting device 10 includes a reflector cup 12 or similar support structure, on which is mounted an LED die 14 of a first color and an LED die 16 of a second color. In a specific arrangement of such multi-die array, the first LED die 14 is a blue LED die and the second LED die 16 is a green LED die.
[0052] The multi-die array is covered with a phosphor material 18, which in a specific embodiment may include a mixture of two phosphors dispersed in a polymeric matrix such as polycarbonate. The phosphors in the phosphor material 18 are appropriately selected to be excited by radiation emitted from the multi-die array and to responsively emit output radiation, so that the integrated output of the light emission device, deriving from the multi-die array and phosphor material, is of a desired spectral character.
[0053] FIG. 2 is a graph of intensity as a function of wavelength, for each of the LED die elements and phosphor species employed in the light emission device of FIG. 1, as isolated components. The graph shows the spectral intensity of emissions of the first LED die ("Blue
LED"), second LED die ("Green LED"), first phosphor ("Phosphor 1") and second phosphor
("Phosphor 2"), when each of such components is considered individually.
[0054] FIG. 3 is a graph of intensity as a function of wavelength, for the integrated output
("Integrated Output 1") of the light emission device of FIG. 1, as including the LED dies and phosphor components whose spectra are shown in FIG. 2. Such integrated output provides a spectral distribution that approximates the spectral distribution of candle light.
[0055] FIG. 4 is an LED multiple die array 22 including five different LED die colors. The dies A, B, C, D and E (labeled as "Blue LED," "Aqua LED," "Green LED," "Yellow LED" and
"Red LED," respectively) constitute the multiple die array.
[0056] FIG. 5 is a graph of intensity as a function of wavelength, for each of the LED dies employed in the FIG. 5 LED die array, as isolated components. The graph shows the spectral intensity of emissions of the first LED die ("Blue LED"), second LED die, ("Aqua LED"), third
LED die ("Green LED"), fourth LED die ("Yellow LED") and fifth LED die ("Red LED"), when each of such die components is considered individually.
[0057] FIG. 6 is a graph of intensity as a function of wavelength, as the white light integrated output ("Integrated Output 2") of the LED die array of FIG. 4. The integrated light consists of five discrete colors, but there are gaps in the spectral distribution as compared to the spectrum produced by a conventional incandescent filament light bulb.
[0058] FIG. 7 is a simplified schematic depiction of a light emission device according to another embodiment of the invention, incorporating an LED multiple die array 22 including five different LED dies A, B, C, D and E (labeled as "Blue LED," "Aqua LED," "Green LED,"
"Yellow LED" and "Red LED," respectively), as disposed on a support surface 26 and a phosphor mixture 24 overlying the multiple die array.
[0059] FIG. 8 is a graph of intensity as a function of wavelength, for each of the LED die elements and phosphor species employed in the FIG. 7 light emission device, as isolated components. The graph shows the spectral intensity of emissions of the first LED die A ("Blue LED"), the second LED die B ("Aqua LED"), the third LED die C ("Green LED"), the fourth LED die D ("Yellow LED") and the fifth LED die E ("Red LED"), as well as the distributions associated with the phosphor material in phosphor mixture 24, when each of such LED die and phosphor components is considered individually.
[0060] FIG. 9 is a graph of intensity as a function of wavelength, as the integrated output of the light emission device of FIG. 7. By comparison of the spectral distributions of FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, it is seen that the utilization of the phosphor mixture 24 in the device yields a more smoothly varying spectral distribution that is correspondingly a better spectral match to the desired incandescent bulb spectrum, than the corresponding LED die array lacking the phosphor mixture 24.
[0061] The features and advantages of the invention are more fully shown by the following non-limiting examples, as illustrative of specific aspects, features and embodiments of the invention.

The LEDs function as light sources and excite a phosphor mixture including two phosphors. The first phosphor in the phosphor mixture is a CaGa2S4:Eu2+ phosphor, which emits a yellowish-green light and which is excited with light having a wavelength shorter than ~480nm (~25% absorption). The second phosphor in the phosphor mixture is a ZnGa2S4IMn2+ phosphor, which emits an orange-red light and which is excited by light having a wavelength shorter than about 510nm (~50% absorption). The die size of each of the two LED dies, and the concentration of each of the two phosphors in the phosphor mixture, are adjusted to achieve a spectral response similar to natural daylight at noon.

The LED emission intensity and the phosphor concentrations have been adjusted to yield the spectral distribution shown in the graph.
[0066] Example 2. Blue and red LEDs with two phosphors excited only by the blue. [0067] To encompass the desired spectral range, two LEDs, an X-Brite deep blue (460nm) LED and an X-Brite red (670 nm) LED, both commercially available from Kingbright Corporation, Tapei, Taiwan, are utilized to fabricate a light emission device of the type shown in FIG. 2. The LEDs function as light sources and the blue is used to excite a phosphor mixture including two phosphors. The first phosphor in the phosphor mixture is a SrSCu+,Na phosphor, which emits a green light centered on 530nm and which is excited with light shorter than ~490nm (~20% absorption). The second phosphor in the phosphor mixture is a CaSO4:Bi phosphor, which emits a yellow orange light and which is excited by light shorter than about 510nm (~10% absorption). The LED dies are coated by the phosphors during manufacture, with all dies being mounted in a single package to facilitate fabrication and assembly. The phosphors are excited by the blue light emitted from the blue LED die, but simply transmit the red light emitted by the red LED die. The die size of each of the two LED dies, and the concentration of each of the two phosphors in the phosphor mixture, are adjusted to achieve a spectral response similar to natural daylight at noon.

The ultraviolet LED acts to excite the phosphor while the green LED contributes to the emission to ensure that the spectral distribution produced by the light emission device closely matches the desired solar spectrum.
The phosphor employed in the device is a CaMgSi2O6:Eu2+,Mn2+ phosphor, which emits in the blue, yellow-green, orange and red. This phosphor is transmissive to green and the X-Brite signal green LED produces light in this spectral region. The phosphor is excited by light shorter than 410nm (~50% absorption). The die size of each of the two LED dies, and the concentration of the phosphor, are adjusted to achieve a spectral response similar to natural daylight at noon.
