Spectral optimization of color temperature tunable white LEDs based on perovskite quantum dots for ultrahigh color rendition

The spectral optimization for maximizing limited luminous efficacy (LLE) of correlated color temperature (CCT) tunable white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with two, three and four color perovskite quantum dots (QDs) excited by a blue chip was investigated under the constraint of designated ultrahigh color rendering index (CRI) and color quality scale (CQS). The results show that high quality white lights with CRIs of 96-97, CQSs of 95-96, and LLEs of 243-225 lm/W at CCTs of 2700 K to 6500 K could be realized by the QDs-converted white LEDs (QD-WLEDs) using a blue chip and different combinations of perovskite quantum dots. The luminous efficacies of QD-WLEDs are expected to reach 114 to 122 lm/W at CCTs of 2700 K to 6500 K, if the radiant efficiency of a blue chip is 60% and the real PLQY values of perovskite QDs are 75%. These results demonstrate that perovskite QD-based LEDs are expected to be promising in next generation display and lighting technologies.
