description | This paper proposes the improved design of an ultraviolet (UV)- and-blue-light-inhibited white light-emitting diode for use as a safe and practical light source. Covered with a glass substrate coated with a photocatalyst resin on one side and a reflectance film on the other side, wavelengths below 400 nm are reflected back to re-excite the red-green-blue phosphors and, consequently, enhance luminous efficiency. The absorption spectrum of bismuth oxide photocatalysts is below 521 nm, and the leaked UV and blue light can be absorbed, thereby exciting electron-hole pairs and producing the photocatalytic effect. Thus, blue light and UV leakage can be suppressed appreciably, and the luminous efficiency can be increased markedly. Experimental results showed a UV suppression ratio of 88.43% and a visible light increasing ratio of 21.66%. The Commission International de L'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates (x,y) were (0.343, 0.404), the correlated color temperature and the deviation from de Blackbody locus were (5201 K, 0.0250), and the color rendering index was 93.16. In addition, the photocatalyst coating layer can act as a diffuser to provide a comfortable visual experience and facilitate environmental purification. |
