Fabrication of warm, high CRI white LED using non-cadmium quantum dots

초록

We reported on the synthesis of two bright non-cadmium quantum dots (QDs) of green (512 nm)-emitting InP/ZnS and orange (583 nm)-emitting CuInS2 (CIS)/ZnS core/shell and their application for the fabrication of solid-state lighting device. The spectral overlap between absorptions from both QDs and emission from InGaN-based blue light-emitting diode (LED) chip was excellent. Thus, the efficient down-conversion of blue-to-QD emission for the generation of white light was accomplished by sequentially dispensing InP/ZnS QDs on top of CIS/ZnS ones within epoxy resin. The white QD-LED generated a high-quality white light with a high color rendering index of 90 and a warm color temperature of 3803K under a drive current of 20 mA. Drive current-dependent variations of its primary electroluminescent properties were investigated in details. (c) 2013 Optical Society of America
