Phosphor-Free InGaN White Light Emitting Diodes Using Flip-Chip Technology.

ABSTRACT: Monolithic phosphor-free two-color gallium nitride (GaN)-based white light emitting diodes (LED) have the potential to replace current phosphor-based GaN white LEDs due to their low cost and long life cycle. Unfortunately, the growth of high indium content indium gallium nitride (InGaN)/GaN quantum dot and reported LED's color rendering index (CRI) are still problematic. Here, we use flip-chip technology to fabricate an upside down monolithic two-color phosphor-free LED with four grown layers of high indium quantum dots on top of the three grown layers of lower indium quantum wells separated by a GaN tunneling barrier layer. The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) spectra of this white LED reveal a broad spectrum ranging from 475 to 675 nm which is close to an ideal white-light source. The corresponding color temperature and color rendering index (CRI) of the fabricated white LED, operated at 350, 500, and 750 mA, are comparable to that of the conventional phosphor-based LEDs. Insights of the epitaxial structure and the transport mechanism were revealed through the TEM and temperature dependent PL and EL measurements. Our results show true potential in the Epi-ready GaN white LEDs for future solid state lighting applications.

White-light-emitting triphasic fibers as a phosphor for light-emitting diodes.

Project description:White-light-emitting materials have received significant attention because of their potential application in lighting, displays, and sensors. However, it is a challenge to obtain white light from one phosphor, because the basic requirement of the white light emission spectrum is that it should be wide enough to cover the entire visible light region. In this study, we have designed and demonstrated a white-light-emitting PMMA-CBS-127/PVP-coumarin 6/PAN-rhodamine B (PSCR) fibrous membrane, which was prepared through a triphasic electrospinning method. Three luminescent organic dyes, CBS-127 (4.77 wt%, blue), coumarin 6 (0.1 wt%, green), and rhodamine B (0.42 wt%, red), were elaborately selected and doped into PMMA, PVP, and PAN, respectively. The resulting flexible PSCR membranes show white light emission (cover the entire visible-light region from 382 to 700 nm) with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.31, 0.32), which is very close to ideal white light with CIE coordinates (0.33, 0.33). In addition, the PSCR membranes maintained high-quality white light emission after about 10 weeks of storage. The PSCR membranes can be used as the phosphor converting layer in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) through a remote membrane packaging method. A bright white emission is achieved at an applied voltage of 9 V. Therefore, the results indicate that PSCR membranes are potentially attractive candidates for application in WLEDs and displays.

Electrically driven, phosphor-free, white light-emitting diodes using gallium nitride-based double concentric truncated pyramid structures.

Project description:White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming an alternative general light source, with huge energy savings compared to conventional lighting. However, white LEDs using phosphor(s) suffer from unavoidable Stokes energy converting losses, higher manufacturing cost, and reduced thermal stability. Here, we demonstrate electrically driven, phosphor-free, white LEDs based on three-dimensional gallium nitride structures with double concentric truncated hexagonal pyramids. The electroluminescence spectra are stable with varying current. The origin of the emission wavelength is studied by cathodoluminescence and high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy experiments. Spatial variation of the carrier injection efficiency is also investigated by a comparative analysis between spatially resolved photoluminescence and electroluminescence.

Divalent europium-doped near-infrared-emitting phosphor for light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Near-infrared luminescent materials exhibit unique photophysical properties that make them crucial components in photonic, optoelectronic and biological applications. As broadband near infrared phosphors activated by transition metal elements are already widely reported, there is a challenge for next-generation materials discovery by introducing rare earth activators with 4f-5d transition. Here, we report an unprecedented phosphor K3LuSi2O7:Eu2+ that gives an emission band centered at 740 nm with a full-width at half maximum of 160 nm upon 460 nm blue light excitation. Combined structural and spectral characterizations reveal a selective site occupation of divalent europium in LuO6 and K2O6 polyhedrons with small coordination numbers, leading to the unexpected near infrared emission. The fabricated phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes have great potential as a non-visible light source. Our work provides the design principle of near infrared emission in divalent europium-doped inorganic solid-state materials and could inspire future studies to further explore near-infrared light-emitting diodes.

A single Eu<sup>2+</sup>-activated high-color-rendering oxychloride white-light phosphor for white-light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Single-phased, high-color-rendering index (CRI) white-light phosphors are emerging as potential phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and as an alternative to blends of tricolor phosphors. However, it is a challenge to create a high CRI white light from a single-doped activator. Here, we present a high CRI (Ra = 91) white-light phosphor, Sr5(PO4)3-x(BO3)xCl:Eu2+, composed of Sr5(PO4)3Cl as the beginning member and Sr5(BO3)3Cl as the end member. This work utilized the solid-solution method, and tunable Eu2+ emission was achieved. Color-tunable Eu2+ emissions in response to structural variation were observed in Sr5(PO4)3-x(BO3)xCl solid solutions. This was further confirmed using X-ray Rietveld refinement, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and in the photoluminescence spectra. The color-tunable emissions included the white light that originated from the combination of the blue emission of Sr5(PO4)3Cl:Eu2+ and an induced Eu2+ yellow emission at approximately 550 nm in the solid solution. Importantly, the white-light phosphors showed a greater R9 = 90.2 under excitation at 365 nm. This result has rarely been reported in the literature and is greater than that of (R9 = 14.3) commercial Y3Al5O12:Ce3+-based WLEDs. These findings demonstrate the great potential of Sr5(PO4)3-x(BO3)xCl:0.04Eu2+ as a white-light phosphor for near-UV phosphor-converted WLEDs. These results also provide a shortcut for developing a high CRI white-light phosphor from a single Eu2+-doped compound.

Reduced graphene oxide enwrapped phosphors for long-term thermally stable phosphor converted white light emitting diodes.

Project description:The long-term instability of the presently available best commercial phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pcLEDs) is the most serious obstacle for the realization of low-cost and energy-saving lighting applications. Emission from pcLEDs starts to degrade after approximately 200?h of operation because of thermal degradation of the phosphors. We propose a new strategy to overcome this thermal degradation problem of phosphors by wrapping the phosphor particles with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Through the rGO wrapping, we have succeeded in controlling the thermal degradation of phosphors and improving the stability of fabricated pcLEDs. We have fabricated pcLEDs with long-term stability that maintain nearly 98% of their initial luminescence emission intensity even after 800?h of continuous operation at 85?°C and 85% relative humidity. The pcLEDs fabricated using SrBaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor particles wrapped with reduced graphene oxide are thermally stable because of enhanced heat dissipation that prevents the ionization of Eu2+ to Eu3+. We believe that this technique can be applied to other rare-earth doped phosphors for the realization of highly efficient and stable white LEDs.

Engineering the carrier dynamics of InGaN nanowire white light-emitting diodes by distributed p-AlGaN electron blocking layers.

Project description:We report on the demonstration of a new type of axial nanowire LED heterostructures, with the use of self-organized InGaN/AlGaN dot-in-a-wire core-shell nanowire arrays. The large bandgap AlGaN shell is spontaneously formed on the sidewall of the nanowire during the growth of AlGaN barrier of the quantum dot active region. As such, nonradiative surface recombination, that dominates the carrier dynamics of conventional axial nanowire LED structures, can be largely eliminated, leading to significantly increased carrier lifetime from ~0.3 ns to 4.5 ns. The luminescence emission is also enhanced by orders of magnitude. Moreover, the p-doped AlGaN barrier layers can function as distributed electron blocking layers (EBLs), which is found to be more effective in reducing electron overflow, compared to the conventional AlGaN EBL. The device displays strong white-light emission, with a color rendering index of ~95. An output power of >5 mW is measured for a 1 mm × 1 mm device, which is more than 500 times stronger than the conventional InGaN axial nanowire LEDs without AlGaN distributed EBLs.

High-Energy-Level Blue Phosphor for Solution-Processed White Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Efficiency Comparable to Fluorescent Tubes.

Project description:A high-energy-level blue phosphor FIr-p-OC8 has been developed for solution-processed white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) with comparable fluorescent tube efficiency. Benefiting from the electron-donating nature of the introduced alkoxy, FIr-p-OC8 shows not only efficient blue light but also elevated highest occupied molecular orbital/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital levels to well match the dendritic host H2. Consequently, the hole scattering between FIr-p-OC8 and H2 can be prevented to favor the direct exciton formation on the blue phosphor, leading to reduced driving voltage and thus improved power efficiency. By exploiting this approach, a maximum power efficiency of 68.5 lm W-1 is achieved for FIr-p-OC8-based white devices, slightly declining to 47.0 lm W-1 at a practical luminance of 1,000 cd m-2. This efficiency can be further raised to 96.3 lm W-1 @ 1,000 cd m-2 when a half-sphere is applied to increase light out-coupling. We believe that our results can compete with commercial fluorescent tubes, representing an important progress in solution-processed WOLEDs.

Blue emitting exciplex for yellow and white organic light-emitting diodes.

Project description:White organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have several desirable features, but their commercialization is hindered by the poor stability of blue light emitters and high production costs due to complicated device structures. Herein, we investigate a standard blue emitting hole transporting material (HTM) N,N'-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (NPB) and its exciplex emission upon combining with a suitable electron transporting material (ETM), 3-(biphenyl-4-yl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ). Blue and yellow OLEDs with simple device structures are developed by using a blend layer, NPB:TAZ, as a blue emitter as well as a host for yellow phosphorescent dopant iridium (III) bis(4-phenylthieno[3,2-c]pyridinato-N,C2')acetylacetonate (PO-01). Strategic device design then exploits the ambipolar charge transport properties of tetracene as a spacer layer to connect these blue and yellow emitting units. The tetracene-linked device demonstrates more promising results compared to those using a conventional charge generation layer (CGL). Judicious choice of the spacer prevents exciton diffusion from the blue emitter unit, yet facilitates charge carrier transport to the yellow emitter unit to enable additional exciplex formation. This complementary behavior of the spacer improves the blue emission properties concomitantly yielding reasonable yellow emission. The overall white light emission properties are enhanced, achieving CIE coordinates (0.36, 0.39) and color temperature (4643 K) similar to daylight. Employing intermolecular exciplex emission in OLEDs simplifies the device architecture via its dual functionality as a host and as an emitter.

High-performance flat-type InGaN-based light-emitting diodes with local breakdown conductive channel.

Project description:Flat-type InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) without an n-type contact electrode were developed by using a local breakdown conductive channel (LBCC), and the effect of the In content of the InGaN quantum wells (QWs) on the local breakdown phenomenon was investigated. Electroluminescence and X-ray analyses demonstrated that the homogeneity and crystallinity of the InGaN QWs deteriorated as the In content of the InGaN QWs increased, thereby increasing the reverse leakage current and decreasing the breakdown voltage. After reverse breakdown with a reverse current of several mA, an LBCC was formed on the GaN-based LEDs. The surface size and anisotropic shape of the LBCC increased as the indium content of the InGaN QWs in the LEDs increased. Moreover, a flat-type InGaN LED without an n-type electrode was developed by using the LBCC. Notably, the resistance of the LBCC decreased with increasing indium content in the InGaN QWs, leading to lower resistance and higher light emission of the flat-type InGaN-based LEDs without an n-type contact electrode.

Multi-color carbon dots for white light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Heteroatom doped carbon dots (CDs) with color adjustable properties have attracted extensive attention. The doping of elements can effectively tune the surface chemical properties of CDs, thus resulting in its multi-functional applications such as in bio-imaging, photocatalysis, and photothermal conversion. The facile preparation of single metal-doped CDs with color-tunable properties has been rarely reported yet. Herein, we report a one-step solvothermal method to synthesize CDs with different fluorescent emission varying from red to purple to blue. The luminescence characteristic of CDs can be tuned by simply controlling the ratio of precursors, with the emission wavelength correspondingly adjusted from 610 nm to 390 nm. XPS investigation further demonstrated that the color variation is mainly due to the doping of zinc, which will increase the degree of surface oxidation in the as-prepared CDs. For blue emission CDs, the content of graphitic carbon gradually decreases with the rising of zinc chloride addition, while oxygen content remains around 20%, compared with red emission CDs of which the oxygen content is only 4.42%. We also demonstrated with theoretical simulations that the Zn dopant and the functional groups including -C[double bond, length as m-dash]O, -C-OH, -NH2, and pyrrolic N, play an important role in color change. Furthermore, the synthesized CDs have been successfully used into the fabrication of white LEDs. More than that, we produced a sensitive sensor from the prepared CDs for the effective detection of a variety of colorless transparent organic solvents utilizing the robust fluorescence properties of CDs, showing their great potential as fluorescent probes for chemical sensing.
