Abstract

In this paper, two white light emitting diodes(LEDs) were manufactured by using two kinds of yellow phosphor, YAG:Ce and $(Sr,Ba)_2SiO_4:Eu$, and their spectroscopic properties were compared and analyzed. We found that the asymmetric double sigmoidal function can be applied to both white LEDs to obtain the center wavelength, the half width, and the skewness parameters. According to this analysis, the half width of the emitting spectrum of silicate phosphor was smaller than that of YAG phosphor, indicating smaller color rendering index. However, the silicate phosphor exhibited better color stability depending on the driving current than the YAG phosphor. The current dependence of the luminous efficacy of both white LEDs was investigated, which showed that efficacy decreased monotonically with current. The efficacy of the silicate-based white LED was lower than that of the YAG-based LED by about 10~12 lm/W.

본 논문에서는 청색 LED 칩에 YAG:Ce와 $(Sr,Ba)_2SiO_4:Eu$ 등 두 종류의 황색 형광체를 적용해서 제작한 백색 LED의 발광특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 두 백색 LED의 발광 스펙트럼의 특성을 분석하기 위한 수학적 함수 형태로써 Asymmetric double sigmoidal 함수를 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였고 이를 통해 발광 스펙트럼을 구성하는 피크들의 중심파장, 폭, 비대칭성에 대한 정보를 정량적으로 구해서 비교하였다. 분석 결과 실리케이트계 형광체의 발광 스펙트럼 폭이 YAG 형광체에 비해 더 좁아 연색지수의 측면에서 불리한 반면 구동전류에 따른 색도 안정성의 측면에서는 더 유리하다는 것을 확인하였다. 두 백색 LED의 발광효율은 구동전류의 증가에 따라 단조감소하였는데, 실리케이트 형광체 기반 LED의 발광효율이 YAG형광체 기반 LED에 비해 약 10~12 lm/W 정도 작음을 확인하였다.
