Angular color distribution uniformity has been one of the most relevant properties in the development of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), since color consistency and uniformity are crucial factors in quality evaluation of a WLED. Here, particularly considering the need to overcome the poor chromaticity usually associated with WLED, we introduce a new design for the remote-phosphor package, namely a three-layered or triple-layer (TL) phosphor structure. Using three phosphor layers in packaging a WLED can result in higher color quality and luminous efficacy, compared to the double-layer (DL) configuration. In the present study, the results of using three remote phosphor layers indicate that although the structure using three layers has a lower color rendering index, the color quality scale is better than that available from the package with two layers. Additionally, the color-deviation values in the TL structure are smaller than in the dual-layer one, especially at high color temperatures (7,700 K and 8,500 K). Besides, in comparison with the DL model, the TL package increases the luminous flux by 1.4%–2%. Therefore, the TL remote phosphor structure possesses the greatest potential in enhancing the WLED quality.

Yttrium borate phosphor co-doping Ce3+, Tb3+ions (YBO3: Ce3+, Tb3+) is fabricated using solid state reaction, and then its luminescence is investigated through the computational energy transfer process. Under excited near-UV light, this YBO3: Ce3+, Tb3+ phosphor exhibits strong absorption with broad and sharp emission bands due to the 4f – 5d and 5d – 4f transitions of Ce3+ ions and the 4f – 4f transition of Tb3+ ions, respectively. The phosphor’s emission chromaticity could be tunable by adjusting the concentration of doping ions. With 15% Tb3+ and 3% Ce3+ in the composition, the phosphor can gain maximum 76.7% external quantum efficacy. The phosphor is proposed for utilization in the phosphor package of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) to enhance their lighting performances. The findings point out that by modifying YBO3: Ce3+, Tb3+ concentration (5% – 10%), improvements in luminous intensities, color consistency, and color rendering indices can be observed. The higher concentration (10%) of YBO3: Ce3+, Tb3+ is more advantageous to the luminous flux and chromatic uniformity in cases of 4000 K and 5000 K WLEDs, while lower (5%) concentration greatly benefits those properties in the case of 3000 K WLED. Regardless of CCTs, the WLEDs show a reduction in chromatic reproduction efficiency with the increasing concentration of YBO3: Ce3+, Tb3+ . Hence, this green phosphor could be a good material for high-luminescence WLED, yet the modification of phosphor concentration is advisable if the simultaneous good chromaticity is desired.

To achieve further enhancement in the lighting quality of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), this study proposed apackaging structure with three different phosphor layers, called triple-layer remote phosphor structure. This structure can provide an overall control over the light color distribution of WLEDs. The yellow-green-emitting CaAl2O4:Mn2+ phosphor andredemitting CaMoO4:Eu3+ phosphor are used along with the original yellow-emitting YAG:Ce3+phosphor to fabricate thetriple-layer structure. The concentration of yellow-emitting YAG:Ce3+phosphor is required to be decreased as the concentrations of other phosphors increase to keep the predetermined correlated color temperatures. The color rendering index (CRI) and the color quality scale (CQS) are measured to reach a thorough color quality assessment for WLEDs. The color management can be achieved by adjusting the concentration of red-emitting CaMoO4:Eu3+ phosphor to enhance the red emission. In addition, adjustment of the concentration of yellow-green-emitting CaAl2O4:Mn2+ phosphor can result in higher luminousefficiency owing to its control over the green light components. Higher CRI is observed when CaMoO4:Eu3+ concentration increases, while an increase in CaAl2O4:Mn2+ phosphor leads to much lower CRI. The CQS – on the other hand – is remarkably high when the CaMoO4:Eu3+ concentration range is about 10wt%–14wt%, regardless of the proportion of the CaAl2O4:Mn2+ phosphor. Furthermore, 40% enhancement in luminous efficiency is also achieved since light scattering is minimized by the boosted green-light emission spectra. Manufacturers can take these findings as reference to fabricate high-quality WLED lights that fulfill all their requirements.
