Abstract

In this contribution, we propose to combine both narrow-band green (β-sialon:Eu2+) and red (K2SiF6:Mn4+) phosphors with a blue InGaN chip to achieve white light-emitting diodes (wLEDs) with a large color gamut and a high efficiency for use as the liquid crystal display (LCD) backlighting. β-sialon:Eu2+, prepared by a gas-pressure sinteing technique, has a peak emission at 535 nm, a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 54 nm, and an external quantum efficiency of 54.0% under the 450 nm excitation. K2SiF6:Mn4+ was synthesized by a twe-step co-precipitation methods, and exhibits a sharp line emission spectrum with the most intensified peak at 631 nm, a FWHM of ~3 nm, and an external quantum efficiency of 54.5%. The prepared three-band wLEDs have a high color temperature of 11,184 - 13,769 K (i.e., 7,828 - 8,611 K for LCD displays), and a luminous efficacy of 91 – 96 lm/W, measured under an applied current of 120 mA. The color gamut defined in the CIE 1931 and CIE 1976 color spaces are 85.5 - 85.9% and 94.3 - 96.2% of the NTSC stanadard, respectively. These optical properties are better than those phosphor-cpnverted wLED backlights using wide-band green or red phosphoprs, suggesting that the two narrow-band phosphors investigated are the most suitable luminescent materials for achieving more bright and vivid displays.

Fig. 4 (a) Excitation and Emission spectra of K2SiF6:Mn4+, β-sialon:Eu2+ and CaAlSiN3:Eu2+; (b) absorption efficiency of K2SiF6:Mn4+ and CaAlSiN3:Eu2+. The emission spectra of all samples were exicted at 450 nm, and the excitation spectra of K2SiF6:Mn4+ and CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ were monitored at 631 and 650 nm, respectively.

Fig. 5 Decay curves of K2SiF6:Mn4+ (λem = 631 nm) and β-sialon:Eu2+ (λem = 535 nm) measured under 370 nm excitation. Both show a single exponential decay, but different decay times. The decay time of Eu2+ is much shorter than that of Mn4+.

Fig. 6 Absorption efficiency (a), internal quantum efficiency (b) and external quantum efficiency (c) as a function of the excitation wavelength of β-sialon:Eu2+ and KSF:Mn4+. It indicates that (i) both phosphpors have the similar quantum efficiency under 450 nm excitation; (ii) the absorption of green light (i.e. from β-sialon:Eu2+) by KSF is quite small (less than 20%).
