SOLID-STATE LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES AND SIGNAGE WITH PHOTOLUMINESCENCE WAVELENGTH CONVERSION

摘要

A solid-state light emitting device comprises a solid-state light emitter (LED) operable to generate excitation light and a wavelength conversion component including a mixture of particles of a photoluminescence material and particles of a light reflective material. The phosphor absorbs at least a portion of the excitation light and emits light of a different color. The emission product of the device comprises the combined light generated by the LED and the phosphor. The wavelength conversion component can be light transmissive and comprise a light transmissive substrate on which the mixture of phosphor and reflective materials is provided as a layer or homogeneously distributed throughout the volume of the substrate. Alternatively the wavelength conversion component can be light reflective with the mixture of phosphor and light reflective materials being provided as a layer on the light reflective surface.
