High-power phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes based on III-Nitrides

Phosphor conversion of light-emitting diode light for white light sources and some monochrome applications requires particular phosphor properties and has to take into account specific issues if aimed at high-power output. Limitations and solutions will be discussed, giving special considerations to drive and temperature dependencies. Efficiencies of 32 lm/W for white with good color rendering at 4600 K and 35 lm/W for green (535 nm) have been demonstrated.
