Abstract

Here we report ultraviolet (UV)-pumped white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with sunlike full spectrum emissions, by using a commercially available blue phosphor (BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+) and a series of broadband zero-dimensional (0D) organic metal halide hybrids as down conversion phosphors. By controlling the blend ratio of phosphors, we have achieved high-quality WLEDs with excellent general color rendering index (CRI Ra) of up to 99 and deep-red rendering index (R9) of up to 99. These WLEDs exhibiting white emissions with correlated color temperatures (CCTs) ranging from 3000 to 6000 K perfectly mimic sunlight at different times of day.

Keywords: down conversion phosphor; high color rendering index; organic metal halide hybrid; solid-state lighting; white LED.
