The Impacts of Red-emitting Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ Phosphor on Color Quality of Dual-layer Remote Phosphor Configuration

Abstract

In terms of luminous ux, the remote phosphor structure is better than conformal structure or in-cup phosphor structure, however, this structure often has inferior color quality compared to the others. As a result, many studies have been conducted to nd a solution to the drawback mentioned above. In this research, we are after the same goal using WLEDs structure with color temperature of 5600 K and come to the conclusion that dual-layer phosphor structure can improve the color rendering index (CRI) and the color quality scale (CQS). The concept of the research is to place red phosphor layer Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ on a yellow phosphor layer YAG:Ce3+ and locate the concentration of Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ that allows the color quality to reach the highest value. The result shows that Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ benets CRI and CQS, more specifically, the addition of Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ in WLEDs boosts the red light component, thus, enhancing CRI and CQS. However, it is demonstrated through the application of Mie-scattering theory and Lambert-Beer law that when the concentration of Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ exceed the limit, it can harm the luminous flux of WLEDs. The result of this research is a valuable contribution to improving the techniques of manufacturing better WLEDs with higher white light quality.
