Study of temperature distributions in pc-WLEDs with different phosphor packages.

Phosphor converted white LEDs (pc-WLED) with different geometries, namely remote-dome, remote-plate, half-dome, and conformal-coating packages, were studied using simulations to obtain the thermal power and the temperature distribution. The results of an experiment carried out to measure the temperature distribution in these pc-WLEDs validate the simulation results. A hotspot always occurs in the phosphor region.
