A complementary study to "toward scatter-free phosphors in white phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes:" comment

Opt Express. 2013 Feb 25;21(4):5071-3. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.005071.

Abstract

In a recent paper, Park et al. [Opt. Express 20(9), 10218 (2012)] demonstrated that large micro-size cube phosphors are an outstanding potential candidate for scatter-free phosphors in white phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). They found that large micro-size cube phosphors can lead to higher luminous efficiency (LE), higher packaging efficiency (PE), and reduced influences of ambient temperature and applied current. In this comment, we further discussed the large micro-size phosphors on the angular color uniformity (ACU). It is found that when the phosphor particle size increases from 30 μm to 100 μm, the ACU decreases from 0.91 to 0.86.
