Abstract
The development method of pc-LED, a phosphor-converted light emitting diode, with scattering enhancement particles
(SEPs) at 8500 K correlated color temperature is analyzed in this article. The pc-LED is an innovative lighting solution that
has been used in several different categories, thus this article offers the approach to improve the color homogeneity and
luminous flux of the pc-LEDs in order to fulfill the requirements of current lighting. Also, the extensive studies on the two
SEPs, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and titania (TiO2), are demonstrated in the article. In order to examine their properties
and effects on the illumination of pc-LEDs, the tests involve combining both of these SEPs with a yellow phosphor
Y3Al5O12:Ce3+. The analysis of SEPs includes the dispersion coefficients, the anisotropic dispersion, the diminished
dispersion, and the dispersion amplitudes at 450 nm and 550 nm. The LightTools program is used to construct the pc-LED
simulation, and the Mie-scattering theory can then validate the effects of the optical simulation. The research findings
conclude that TiO2 particles are appropriate for color homogeneity and CCT-deviation reduction, while CaCO3 particles are
successful in limiting significant decrease in lumen efficiency and the color deviation at the corresponding color
temperature.
