Advantages vs. Disadvantages
* Adv: adjustable white point
sequential color potential
Dis : complexity in control circuit
large mixing & compensation area
efficiency of green LED
(e.g.) Lumileds (LCD TV, monitor)
* Adv: adjustable white point
sequential color potential
small mixing & compensation area
Dis : complexity in control circuit
complexity in chip design
efficiency of green LED
(e.g.) Osram opto., Nichia (LCD monitor)
* Adv : simple control circuit
small mixing compensation area
Dis : fixed white point
no sequential color potential
(e.g.)
2-A : small sized BLU, flash lamp
2-B : CRI  for lighting, BLU for LCD TV ?
3 : development of near UV LED

2. Phosphor Converted White LED : Need for Phosphors (I)
* Efficiency of Green LED
B LED * G Phosphor (530nm)
= 60% * 70% * 87% = ~ 37 %
>
G LED
= ~ 20 %
 2 G LED + 1 B LED + 1 R LED
Why? Transition to indirect band-gap material
at above 0.53 of Al
Why? difficult to obtain high quality InGaN epi- layer
due to re-evaporation of In from growth surface
 wider FWHM of green LED
and the subsequent low color purity

White를 위해 3.0 lm, 5.7 lm, 0.57 lm 이 필요함
R LED의 경우 85%, B LED의 경우 65 %만 사용
current ratio를 작게 가져가거나 or 2 G LED + 1 B, R LED
HB LED의 경우 I와 T에 따른 보상이 필요함

* 254 Hg emission   AC
 no sulfide phosphor
* LED   CW : decay time (fast – recycling)
ground state depletion
high order effect (quenching)
 sulfide phosphor?

* B LED   high I & high T : color change of pump
 change of excitation for ph (WL)
change of emission from ph (Intensity)
* UV LED   better for phosphor development
 patent for phosphor
better pump efficiency (n-UV)
tri color phosphor (emulation)
no involving in color mixing
