This paper introduces the improvement of QoS to compensate the decreasing LED performance by temperature characteristic in the LED-ID communication system. LED does not only use as a lighting device, but also uses as a communication device. The conventional system is transmitted by RGB of LED following the mixture color ratio, which determined the color of lighting, and the BER performance of each RGB signals. However, when the LED used consistently, it has occurred the heat temperature. As a result, LED is degraded the performance by increased temperature each device. To solve this problem, we proposed the adaptive modulation and coding scheme by temperature of device to improve the performance of system and satisfied the QoS in the LED-ID system.

LED는 친환경 광원으로써 메탈램프에 비해 높은 광 변환 효율과 긴 수명을 갖고 있어 차세대 광원으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 이러한 특성은 LED의 접합온도가 일정하게 유지 되어야 가능하다. 실제 LED는 PN접합으로 구성되어 접합온도가 상승될 경우 광 변환 효율의 저하, 색온도의 변화, 사용 수명의 감축을 야기 시키는 요소로 작용한다. 따라서 LED는 방열설계가 중요하며 방열설계가 제대로 되지 못한 경우에 대해서는 온도보상이 필요하다. 본 논문은 LED모듈에 접합온도를 LED업체에서 제공하는 그래프를 이용하여 간접적으로 추정하고 LED의 접합온도를 일정하게 유지 시키는 시스템을 제안하였다.

Two types of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different phosphor structures were fabricated and compared in terms of their optical characteristics. Their spectroscopic properties were analyzed as a function of temperature, from room temperature to $80^{\circ}C$. The temperature dependence of the luminance and the color coordinates showed that the decrease in luminance and change in the color coordinates of the remote-phosphor type LED were much smaller compared to the conventional white LED. These improvements were attributed to the decrease in phosphor temperature, due to the distance between the LED chip and the phosphor layer, as well as to the reduced absorption by the LED chip of the light emitted from the phosphor layer.

$8{\sim}12$인치의 원형(또는 사각) PCB 기판에 수백 개의 고휘도 반도체 발광 다이오드(Light Emitting Diode. LED)와 구동 회로로 구성되는 LED 교통 신호등은 특정 파장대의 단색광을 발광하므로, 기존의 백열전구식 신호등에 비해 시인성이 좋고, 80 % 이상의 에너지 절약이 가능하다. 그러나 LED는 주위 온도에 따라 밝기가 변화하는 특성이 있다. 신호등은 기능상 외부 온도의 영향 없이 항상 일정한 광도를 유지해야 하므로, 본 논문에서는 외부 온도의 변화에 관계없이 일정한 광출력을 유지할 수 있는 LED 구동회로를 설계한다 이를 위해 정전압 및 정전류로 구동되는 LED의 온도에 따른 광출력 특성 실험이 수행되고, 이러한 데이터들을 바탕으로 정광출력 LED 신호등 구동회로가 설계되고 그 성능을 평가한다.

Instead of the incandescent lamps the LED lamps have been used on the traffic signal lamp with the advantages of small loss, no lens and long life. In this paper, we have compared three kinds of the LED controller structures and showed the LED array decision methods. We studied the temperature characteristics on LED and the temperature compensation network. The experimental results showed that the electrical characteristics of three kinds of the LED controller structures were different each other. We concluded that the temperature compensation is the important technique, the best compensation network has the ${\pm}10%$ variation for the luminous intensity.

There are increasing interests in COB (Chip On Board) that densely arranged many LED chips on one board in order to solve the heat issue. There are many problems being on the rise: the lifespan decreases as the temperature of LED devices increases; Red Shift phenomenon, in which wave length of spectral line moves from original wave length to long wave length, occurs; and optical power decreases as $T_j$ increases. In order to resolve such problems, this study selected the optimum thickness and length of Fin, planned the second Heat sink that is optimum for COB LED with 15W, and analyzed thermal mode by Solid Works Flow Simulation through 15W COB packaging with the planned Heat sink. 15W COB down-light Heat sink that is produced based on this analysis was utilized to analyze thermal mode through contact thermometer and electrical properties through Kelthley 2430.

The high power COB(Chip on Board) LED, densely arranged chips on a board, are increasing to resolve heat problems in LED that has luminous semiconductor chips as main materials. In case of high-power COB LED, protection against heat is necessary due to the power consumption is high. Also if the temperature of device increases, the optical emission becomes less efficient and the life rapidly reduces due to thermal stress. This study packaged 13.5W COB LED and heat sink with difference form and produced 13.5W COB LED down-light heat sink by analyzing the thermal modes with Solidworks Flow Simulation. And finally it analyzed and evaluated the thermal modes using contacting and non-contacting thermometers.

In this paper, resistance temperature detector (RTD) integrated into the LED package is proposed in order to solve the temperature dependence of LED's optical properties. To measure the package temperature in real time, the RTD type temperature sensor having excellent accuracy and linearity between temperature change and resistance change was adopted. A stable metallic film is required for long term reliability and stability of the RTD type temperature sensor. Therefore, deposition and annealing condition for the film were determined. Based on the determined condition, the RTD type temperature sensor with the sensitivity of about $1.560{\Omega}/^{\circ}C$ was fabricated inside the LED package. In order to configurate the LED package system keeping the constant brightness regardless of the temperature, additional conversion circuit and control circuit boards were fabricated and added to the fabricated LED package. The proposed system was designed to compensate the light intensity caused by temperature change using the variable duty rate of driving current. As a result, the duty rate of PWM signal which is the output signal of the configurated system was changed with the temperature change, and the duty rate was similarly varied with the target duty rate. Consequently, it was focused the fabricated RTD can be used for compensating the optical properties of LED and the LED package which exhibits constant brightness regardless of the temperature change.

Two white light emitting diodes(LEDs) were fabricated by using two kinds of yellow phosphor, YAG:Ce and $(Sr,Ba)_2SiO4:Eu$, and their spectroscopic properties were analyzed as a function of temperature from room temperature to $80^{\circ}C$. The asymmetric double sigmoidal function was applied to both blue and yellow peaks of the emitting spectrum to obtain the center wavelength, the amplitude, the half width, and the skewness parameters. According to this analysis, the center wavelength of the blue peak shifted to longer wavelength while that of the yellow peak shifted to shorter wavelength. In addition, some of the skewness parameters were found to increase upon heating, which indicates that spectrum asymmetry becomes enhanced at higher temperatures. The changes in the color coordinates and the luminous efficacy were larger for the case of silicate-based white LED. These results suggest that the silicate-based white LED is inferior to the YAG-based white LED from the viewpoint of color stability, efficacy and color rendering index.

LED light sources have been known to have a long life and good energy efficiency compared to traditional light sources. Recently, headlamps using LED light sources have ensured the forward visibility and safe operation of high-speed rolling stock. However, assessing the lifespan of LED headlamps based on real test data is not easy because it depends on the multiple stress factors such as a fixed driving current, junction temperature, vibration and so on. Generally, LED headlamps have failed before their advertised life span mainly due to temperature. Thus, the performance assessment of a temperature control unit should be done before a life cycle test of LED headlamps. This study attempted to develop a prototype temperature control module for a lifecycle test system using a commercial LED headlight and verified the system through experiments.
