LED ILLUMINATION DEVICE WITH LAYERED PHOSPHOR PATTERN

摘要

A method of applying at least two phosphors to an LED, wherein a first phosphor material having a lower absorption, shorter luminescence decay time, and/or lower thermal quenching than a second phosphor material is positioned closer to the LED than the second phosphor. Such an arrangement provides a light emitting device with improved lumen output and color stability over a range of drive currents.
