Description

Light emitting diode package
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a light emitting diode package comprising a light emitting diode (LED), a color converting medium positioned adjacent to the light emitting diode, and a dome encapsulating both the light emitting diode and the color converting medium. Such packages are in particular used in light emitting modules (e.g. luminaries) for illumination purposes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of a light emitting diode package of the kind set forth is known from US20070258240. That document discloses a white light generating fixture comprising a multitude of light emitting diode packages. A first package contains a light emitting diode and a first phosphor, while a second package contains a light emitting diode and a second phosphor, so that the two package types are capable of producing light with different spectra. The fixture may comprise a third package having a third phosphor for producing light with a third spectrum. These fixtures can produce any color point in color space within the polygon defined by the packages with the (phosphor facilitated) primary light sources by mixing the appropriate contributions of the primary spectra.
Many illumination applications require luminaries / fixtures producing light near the black body line with an adjustable correlated color temperature (CCT). Typically the CCT ranges from above 4000K (cool white) to about 2700K (warm white). Especially the low correlated color temperatures are difficult to achieve, mostly due to the considerable blue content in the light emitted by phosphor coated LEDs. This blue light originates from the LED itself and has not been used as a pump for the phosphor facilitated color conversion process. In fact, the original blue 'pump' light emitted by the LED and the yellow light emitted by the phosphor forms the white light emitted by the package. US20070258240 discloses the use of filters in the fixture to eliminate a residual blue content in the light emitted by the fixture, thereby lowering the correlated color temperature of that light. Simply filtering out a part of the spectrum emitted clearly constitutes a drawback of the solution described in US20070258240, as it lowers the overall efficiency of the fixture. Moreover, assembling the filters in the luminary forms an uneconomical use of space.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an objective of the present invention to provide a light emitting diode package of the kind set forth which alleviates at least one of the drawbacks. This objective is achieved according to a first aspect of the invention with the light emitting diode package as defined by the preamble of claim 1, wherein the dome is provided with a first filter on its outer surface. Advantageously, the wavelength selective first filter reduces first spectrum (the blue 'pump') light originating from the LED to leak out the package. Thus, the first filter induces the light emitted from the package to have a lower correlated color temperature.
In an embodiment of the invention the first filter is arranged to reflect light having the first spectrum and transmit light having the second spectrum. Advantageously, this allows the blue 'pump' light to be reflected and recycled, i.e. absorbed by the color converting medium and converted into the second spectrum (yellowish/reddish) light. In an embodiment, the first filter comprises an interference filter. Advantageously, such interference filters do not (in principle) absorb any light. Moreover, such filters may be tuned to exhibit a maximum reflectance at a wavelength corresponding to the 'pump' light emitted by the LED. In an embodiment the dome substantially forms a half-sphere.
Advantageously, the light emitted by the LED and/or color converting medium impinges on the dome surface, and hence on the first filter, nearly perpendicular. This minimises the influence of the angular dependence of interference filters.
In an embodiment, the interference filter comprises alternating layers of SiO2 and Ta2Os or SiO2 and TiO2. Advantageously, these materials have a ratio of their index of refraction. A high ratio allows making a filter with only a few layers. Furthermore, a high index of refraction reduces the angle of incidence dependence of the filter characteristics.
According to a second aspect, the invention provides a light emitting module comprising at least one light emitting diode package according to the claims 1 to 7. In an embodiment the light emitting module further comprises at least one light source arranged to emit light of at least one of the colors red, green, turquoise, or cyan. Beneficially, this allows producing tuneable white light efficiently with a high color rendering index (> 80) at or around the black body locus. These and other aspects of the invention will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS Figure 1 schematically shows a light emitting diode package 1. It comprises a light emitting diode (LED) 10 arranged to emit light having a first spectrum. Furthermore, the package 1 comprises a color converting medium 20 positioned adjacent to the LED 10. Finally, the package 1 comprises a dome 30 encapsulating the LED 10 and the color converting medium 20. The LED 10 may be mounted on a sub-mount allowing connection of the LED to electrical and thermal interfaces (not shown) for providing power to the LED and distribution of dissipated heat, respectively. Usually the color converting medium 20 consists of a phosphor powder deposited on the (top surface of the) LED 10. Alternatively, the phosphor may be dispersed through out the material forming the dome 30. Moreover, the color converting medium 20 may be applied as a ceramic platelet. The color converting medium 20 converts at least part of the light having the first spectrum 21 (the 'pump' light) into light having a second spectrum 22, usually at longer wavelengths (see Fig. 2). Typically, Ce doped YAG phosphors are applied, emitting yellowish light that in combination with the blue 'pump' light creates the impression of white light. Alternatively (or in combination) Pr or Eu doped phosphors may be used to enhance the red content of the secondary spectrum. The dome 30, having an outer surface 31 , usually is made of a transparent epoxy or silicone material and increases the light output from the LED 10, as III-V semiconductor materials have a high index of refraction. The invention provides for a first filter 40 deposited on or positioned adjacent to the outer surface 31 of the dome 30. Integration of the first filter 40 on the dome 30 beneficially makes efficient use of the space available. In an embodiment the first filter 40 comprises an interference filter. These later wavelength selective filters usually comprise a stack of alternating layers with different refractive indices. Advantageously, such interference filters do not (in principle) absorb any light. For instance the interference filter comprises alternating layers of SiO2 and Ta2Os or SiO2 and TiO2. In first order, the periodicity of the stack, i.e. the sum of the optical thickness of one SiO2 and one Ta2Os (or TiO2) layer, determines the wavelength at which the interference filter has a maximum reflectivity. The physical thickness multiplied by the index of refraction n defines the optical thickness of a layer. Fig. 3 shows the reflectance as a function of the wavelength for a stack of 15 layers using eight SiO2 and seven Ta2Os layers with optical thicknesses of a λ/4 {i.e. 111.63 nm * «siO2 and 77.27 nm * /?Ta2O5, respectively). For the wavelength at peak reflectivity (in this case -650 nm) the sum of the optical thicknesses of the two layer types exactly equates λ/2. Fig. 3 shows the filter to have a high reflection peak with multiple fringes on each side. Moreover it shows an angular dependence of the filter, i.e. the reflectivity depends on the angle of incidence of the light. The curve 60 characterises the spectral response of the filter for light impinging on it at (near) normal (0°), while curve 70 characterises the spectral response for light impinging at 45°. Adjusting the thicknesses of the individual layers tunes the specific shape of the reflection as a function of the wavelength.
Beneficially, the first filter 40 reflects blue {i.e. the 'pump' light or first spectrum light 21) and transmits green, yellow, and red {i.e. the second spectrum light 22). Table 1 describes an example of a SiO2 / Ta2Os filter exhibiting these properties. Using more layers increases the specificity of the interference filter, i.e enabling a larger control of the shape of the reflectance curve (f.i. a sharper reflectance peak or steeper flanks).

Although the dome 30 could have any shape (f.i. polygonal, elliptical, spherical, etc), in an embodiment the dome 30 substantially forms a half-sphere. Advantageously, the light emitted by the LED 10 and/or color converting medium 20 impinges on the dome surface 31 , and hence on the first filter 40, nearly perpendicular. This minimises the influence of the angular dependence of interference filters.
In an embodiment, the light emitting diode package 1 comprises a second filter 50 positioned between the light emitting diode 10 and the color converting medium 20 (Fig. 4). In an embodiment the second filter 50 is arranged to transmit light having the first spectrum 21 and reflect light having the second spectrum 22. Advantageously, this increases the efficiency of the package 1 as reflection of the second spectrum light prevents absorption of that light in the LED 10. The second filter 50 may be deposited on a top surface of the LED before application of a phosphor of ceramic platelet. Alternatively, the second filter 50 may be deposited on the ceramic platelet followed by assembling the platelet on top of the LED 10 such that the second filter 50 is sandwiched between the LED and the platelet. In an embodiment the second filter comprises an interference filter (as described above) tuned to the appropriate response curve.
An embodiment provides a light emitting module 100 having a housing 140 and comprising at least one light emitting diode package 1 according to the invention (Fig. 5). This allows providing a luminary or fixture, such as a flood-light or a down-light, suitable for illumination purposes. In an embodiment the light emitting module 100 further comprises at least one light source 110. The light emitting diode packages 1 and light sources 110 may be assembled on a mounting substrate 150. Preferably the light sources 110 are arranged to emit red (dominant wavelength λdom~620nm), amber (λdom~590nm), green (λdom~530nm), turquoise (λdom~500nm), or cyan (λdom~470nm) light. Advantageously, this allows creating a tuneable white light efficiently, especially for those application prescribing a high color rendering index (> 80) and color coordinates on or around the black body locus. The light sources 110 are arranged to emit light filling up the spectral gap between the first spectrum 'pump' light and the second spectrum phosphor light. Alternatively, the light sources emit light contributing to the red part of the spectrum. To realise a homogeneous tuneable white light output the light emitting module 100 further comprises (programmable) electronics 120 and mixing optics 130 (both well known in the art).
Clearly, as is well known, a homogeneous tuneable white light can also be made using LEDs with their small bandwidth spectra as primary light sources directly.
Although that approach eliminates the need for phosphor coated LEDs, it constitutes a lower efficient solution. Especially for high color rendering index and black body locus color point applications, creating the homogeneous tuneable white light output of a luminary based on a phosphor coated LED increases the energy efficiency. For low color temperature applications (Tc < 3000K) this efficiency gain can only be realised through preventing the blue 'pump' light to be emitted by the light emitting diode package 1. Advantageously, the invention for recycling this 'pump' light through reflection of a filter 40 on the dome 30 and absorption by the color converting medium 20.
Although the invention has been elucidated with reference to the embodiments described above, it will be evident that alternative embodiments may be used to achieve the same objective. The scope of the invention is therefore not limited to the embodiments described above. Accordingly, the spirit and scope of the invention is to be limited only by the claims and their equivalents.
Thus, in summary, proposed is a light emitting diode package 1. The package comprises an LED 10, a color converting medium 20, and a dome 30. A filter 40 is applied upon the outer surface 31 of the dome. Furthermore a light emitting module 100 is proposed comprising at least one light emitting diode package 1. This is especially advantageous for creating homogeneous tuneable white light with a color temperature below 3000K and a color point on or near the black body locus.
