Abstract
Green α-sialon:Yb2+ and red Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ oxynitride/nitride phosphors have been demonstrated as potential downconversion luminescent materials for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this letter, the authors attempt to fabricate white LEDs by combining α-sialon:Yb2+ and Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ with a blue LED die and report their optical properties. These two phosphors lend themselves for use in 2-phosphor-converted white LEDs with promising properties: a wide range of tunable correlated color temperature (2700–6700K), acceptable color rendering index (82–83), and luminous efficacy (17–23lm∕W). These LEDs are acceptable for general lighting.Keywords
