The color uniformity (CU) of chip-on-board (COB) white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) has been improved by using remote phosphor films with two freeform surfaces (TFS-RPFs). The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), Monte Carlo ray-tracing, and color-thickness feedback (CTFB) methods were used to design the TFS-RPFs: the blue light distribution of COB WLEDs is greatly affected by the angular thickness distribution of TFS-RPFs, and a high CU can be achieved iteratively. The directional inconsistency of incident and emergent blue light, scattering effect of TFS-RPFs, and illumination characteristics of the COB source were also investigated. COB WLEDs containing optimized TFS-RPFs achieved high CU with a decrease of 26.2% in maximum CCT deviation; thus, TFS-RPFs can improve the CU of COB WLEDs.

We introduce a low-melting-point (MP) Sn-P-F-O glass ceramic material into the phosphor-in-glass (PIG) material to realize an 'on-chip' chip-on-board (COB) type of phosphor-converted (pc) white light-emitting diode (WLED) with green (BaSr)SiO:Eu and red (SrCa)AlSiN:Eu (SCASN) phosphors. The optimum Sn-P-F-O-based ceramic components can be sintered into the glass phase with a facile one-step heating process at 285 °C for 1 min. Specifically, these soft-fabrication conditions can be optimized to minimize the degradation of the luminescent properties of the red SCASN phosphor as well as the green silicate phosphor in PIG-based white COB-type pc-LEDs owing to the low thermal loss of the phosphors at low fabrication temperatures below 300 °C.

Thermal management is still a great challenge for high-power phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs) intended for future general lighting. In this paper, a series of single-component white-emitting silicate SiO2-Li2O-SrO-Al2O3-K2O-P2O5: Ce(3+), Tb(3+), Mn(2+) (SLSAKP: Ce(3+), Tb(3+), Mn(2+)) glasses that simultaneously play key roles as a luminescent convertor and an encapsulating material for WLEDs were prepared via the conventional melt-quenching method, and systematically studied using their absorption spectra, transmittance spectra, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra in the temperature range 296-498 K, decay curves, and quantum efficiency. The glasses show strong and broad absorption in 250-380 nm region and exhibit intense white emission, produced by in situ mixing of blue-violet, green, and orange-red light from Ce(3+), Tb(3+), and Mn(2+) ions, respectively, in a single glass component.
