Description

[0001] The invention relates to an optoelectronic component. Furthermore, the invention relates to a backlight for a display.

[0002] Optoelectronic components, particularly light-emitting diodes (LEDs), are used for the backlighting of LCD filters in modern televisions, computer monitors, and many other displays. This can be achieved either directly or through indirect illumination via a light guide. Two key requirements for these optoelectronic components are, on the one hand, maximum brightness and, on the other hand, coverage of the largest possible color space in the CIE color diagram. Conventional LCD filter systems consist of three or four color filters (blue, green, and red, or blue, green, yellow, and red). However, these LCD filters have a wide full-width half maximum (FWHM) in the range of typically 70 nm to 120 nm.

[0003] The publication US 2009 / 0294731 A1 discloses silicate-based green phosphors for white LEDs.

[0004] The document DE 10 2014 107 972 A1 discloses a lighting device with a first phosphor and filter particles.

[0005] The publication WO 2013 / 175336 A1 discloses narrowband red-emitting phosphors for solid-state lighting.

[0006] The document DE 20 2008 018 060 U1 discloses a white light emitting device.

[0007] The document DE 10 2013 214 235 A1 discloses a lighting device with semiconductor light sources and a circumferential dam.

[0008] The document US 2015 / 0263253 A1 discloses an LED package.

[0009] One object of the invention is to provide an optoelectronic component that efficiently emits radiation during operation of the component. Furthermore, one object of the invention is to provide a backlight for a display that efficiently emits radiation during operation of the backlight.

[0010] These objects are achieved by an optoelectronic component according to independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Furthermore, these objects are achieved by a backlight for a display according to independent claim 11.

[0011] The optoelectronic component has a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip is configured to generate primary radiation in the blue spectral range. The optoelectronic component has a conversion element. The conversion element is arranged in the beam path of the semiconductor chip. The conversion element is configured to generate secondary radiation from the primary radiation of the semiconductor chip. The conversion element has or consists of at least a first phosphor and a second phosphor. The first phosphor is a combination of Sr(Sr 1-x Ca x )Si2Al2N6:Eu 2+ and (Sr 1-y Ca y ) [LiAl3N4]:Eu 2+ with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. The total radiation emerging from the optoelectronic component is white mixed light.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment, the optoelectronic component is a light-emitting diode, or LED for short. The optoelectronic component is then preferably configured to emit white light.

[0013] "Total radiation" is understood here and below to mean a mixed radiation consisting of primary radiation emitted by the at least one semiconductor chip and secondary radiation emitted by the conversion element, which ultimately leaves the component. The mixing ratio of primary radiation to secondary radiation can be regulated and controlled by the composition and concentration of the corresponding phosphors in the conversion element. In the case of full conversion, the total radiation can also be merely the secondary radiation. In the case of partial conversion, the total radiation can be the sum of primary radiation from the semiconductor chip and secondary radiation from the conversion element. The secondary radiation can be composed of radiation emitted by the first phosphor and radiation emitted by the second phosphor.

[0014] White mixed light from the component is generated primarily through partial conversion. Here and in the following, “white” refers to the total radiation having a color coordinate of the CIE chromaticity diagram with Cx and Cy values ​​along the Planck locus or at its isotherms. For background lighting, the color coordinates are preferably at color temperatures between 7000 K and 25000 K. For example, the color coordinate can be in the range of Cx 0.25-0.33 and Cy 0.22-0.33. The color coordinate here refers to points in or on a color solid, the position of which is described in color space using suitable coordinates. The color coordinate represents the color perceived by an observer. The color coordinate is a coordinate or coordinates in the color standard system adopted by the CIE (the International Commission on Illumination). Here and in the following, the CIE color standard system refers to the 1931 standard.The CIE chromaticity diagram depicts the totality of all perceivable colors, i.e., the visible part of electromagnetic radiation. Within this diagram, any color is defined by three coordinates: Cx, Cy, and Cz. Two coordinates are sufficient to determine the color. Since the sum of all three coordinates must always equal 1, Cz can easily be calculated from Cx and Cy. Such a color coordinate is referred to here as the chromaticity locus of the total radiation.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment, the optoelectronic component comprises at least one semiconductor chip. Alternatively, the optoelectronic component may also comprise more than one semiconductor chip, for example, another semiconductor chip, i.e., two semiconductor chips. The semiconductor chips may have an identical structure. The at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprises a semiconductor layer sequence. The semiconductor layer sequence includes an active layer with at least one pn junction and / or with one or more quantum well structures. The semiconductor layer sequence of the semiconductor chip is preferably based on a III-V compound semiconductor material. The semiconductor material is preferably a nitride compound semiconductor material, such as Al n In 1-n-m Ga m N, or a phosphide compound semiconductor material, such as Al n In 1-n-m Ga mP, where 0 ≤ n ≤ 1, 0 ≤ m ≤ 1 and n + m ≤ 1. Likewise, the semiconductor material can be Al x Ga 1-x As with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. The semiconductor layer sequence can contain dopants as well as additional components. For the sake of simplicity, however, only the essential components of the crystal lattice of the semiconductor layer sequence, i.e., Al, As, Ga, In, N, or P, are listed, even though these may be partially replaced and / or supplemented by small amounts of other substances.

[0016] During operation of the at least one semiconductor chip or of two semiconductor chips, primary radiation is generated in the active layer. A wavelength or the wavelength maximum of the primary radiation is preferably in the ultraviolet and / or visible and / or IR spectral range, in particular at wavelengths between 420 nm and 800 nm, for example, between 440 nm and 480 nm. Preferably, the semiconductor chip is configured during operation to generate primary radiation from the blue spectral range.

"Directly" here and below means that the conversion element is arranged directly on the radiation exit surface of the semiconductor chip. Therefore, no further layers or elements, such as adhesive layers, are present between the semiconductor chip and the conversion element. Alternatively, the conversion element and the semiconductor chip can also be spatially spaced from one another. For example, an adhesive layer can be arranged between the semiconductor chip and the conversion element.

Preferably, the first phosphor (Sr 1-y Ca y ) [LiA13N4]:Eu 2+a dominant wavelength between 623 nm and 633 nm. The dominant wavelength is the wavelength that describes the hue as perceived by the human eye. The peak wavelength, on the other hand, represents the wavelength of the maximum of the spectral distribution.

[0028] According to at least one embodiment, the conversion element comprises a second phosphor. The second phosphor is particularly configured to emit radiation from the green and / or yellow spectral range. In particular, the second phosphor is selected from a group comprising alkaline earth orthosilicates, SiAlONs, aluminates, and SiONs. Preferably, the second phosphor is selected from a group comprising (Ba,Sr)2SiO4, beta-SiAlON, (Y,Lu)3(Al,Ga)5O 12 and Ba-SiON. The second phosphor is particularly enriched with rare earths and / or lanthanides, for example europium (Eu 2+ ), cerium (Ce 3+) or combinations thereof, doped, such as (Ba,Sr)2SiO4:Eu 2+ , beta-SiAlON:Eu 2+ , (Y,Lu)3(Al,Ga)5O 12 :Ce 3+ and Ba-SiON:Eu 2+ .

[0029] In particular, the second phosphor emits radiation having a peak wavelength from the spectral range between 510 nm and 590 nm inclusive.

[0030] According to at least one embodiment, the second phosphor is an orthosilicate. Preferably, the second phosphor is an alkaline earth orthosilicate that is combined with rare earths, for example Eu 2+ , is doped. In particular, the orthosilicate is a (Ba,Sr)2SiO4:Eu 2+ . In particular, the second phosphor emits radiation having a peak wavelength in the spectral range between 520 nm and 550 nm.

[0031] According to at least one embodiment, the second phosphor is a beta-SiAlON. A beta-SiAlON is a ceramic phosphor comprising elements of silicon, aluminum, oxygen, and nitrogen in any ratio and composition. Beta-SiAlONs are well known to those skilled in the art and will therefore not be explained in more detail here. The second phosphor emits, in particular, radiation with a peak wavelength in the spectral range between 520 nm and 550 nm.

[0032] According to at least one embodiment, the second phosphor is an yttrium aluminum garnet. Preferably, the second phosphor is a (Y,Lu)3(Al,Ga)5O 12 :Ce 3+The phosphor can therefore comprise aluminum and / or gallium and yttrium and / or lutetium. Furthermore, the second phosphor can also contain small amounts of gadolinium and / or dysprosium. The second phosphor emits, in particular, radiation with a peak wavelength in the spectral range between 530 nm and 550 nm.

[0033] According to at least one embodiment, the second phosphor is a Ba-SiON:Eu 2+ In other words, the second phosphor comprises, in addition to barium as the alkaline earth metal, silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen in any desired ratio and composition. BaSiONs are well known to those skilled in the art and will therefore not be further explained here.

In particular, the second phosphors, preferably beta-SiAlON, have a color coordinate Cx = 0.280 to 0.330 and Cy = 0.630 to 0.680.

[0035] Alternatively, the color location of the second phosphor, in particular for (Ba,Sr)2SiO4:Eu 2+ , Cx = 0.33 to 0.380 and Cy = 0.590 and 0.650.

[0036] Alternatively, the color location, especially for (Y,Lu)3(Al,Ga)5O 12 :Ce 3+ , Cx = 0.340 to 0.380 and Cy = 0.550 to 0.580.

[0037] According to at least one embodiment, the optoelectronic component comprises at least one semiconductor chip for generating primary radiation from the blue wavelength range and a conversion element comprising precisely two phosphors. The blue-emitting semiconductor chip has, for example, a peak wavelength of 380 nm to 480 nm inclusive. The radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip is absorbed and converted by the two phosphors, the first phosphor and the second phosphor. The first phosphor at least partially converts the radiation into secondary radiation from the red spectral range. The second phosphor at least partially converts the primary radiation into secondary radiation from the green or yellow-green spectral range, such that the combination of primary radiation and secondary radiation results in white mixed light.

[0038] According to at least one embodiment, the primary radiation, secondary radiation of the first phosphor, and / or secondary radiation of the second phosphor are narrow-band. In other words, the peaks of the corresponding emission spectra have a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 82 nm at most, preferably 55 nm at most. This makes it possible to provide an optoelectronic component with a large color space that efficiently emits total radiation. Furthermore, less phosphor needs to be used. This allows for material and cost savings. Furthermore, production is simpler and more cost-effective compared to an LED, which is composed of three semiconductor components: a blue-emitting, a green-emitting, and a red-emitting.

[0039] Preferably, a white-emitting optoelectronic component can be provided which is inexpensive and easy to produce.

Alternatively, epoxy resin or hybrid materials, such as Ormocers, can also be used as the matrix material.

[0041] The conversion element is preferably arranged directly on the radiation exit surface of the semiconductor chip. The conversion element, which comprises the first phosphor and the second phosphor dispersed in a matrix material, can be formed as an encapsulated material.

Alternatively, the second layer can be arranged between the semiconductor chip and the first layer in the beam path of the primary radiation.

[0043] If the first layer is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the second layer, this means that the first layer is directly downstream of the semiconductor chip. If the second layer is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the first layer, this means that the second layer is directly downstream of the semiconductor chip in the radiation direction.

[0044] The individual layers of the layer system of the conversion element can have a layer thickness of 20 µm to 200 µm.

[0045] According to at least one embodiment, the layers of the layer system are formed as ceramic. Alternatively, the phosphors of the corresponding layers can be formed as particles and dispersed in the matrix material. The proportion of the dispersed phosphor in the matrix material can be between 1 wt% and 50 wt%.

[0046] Furthermore, a method for producing an optoelectronic component is specified. Preferably, the optoelectronic component described above is produced using this method. All definitions and explanations apply to the method as specified above for the optoelectronic component, and vice versa.

[0047] According to at least one embodiment, the method for producing an optoelectronic component comprises the steps: A) Providing a semiconductor chip for generating primary radiation in the blue spectral range, B) Providing a conversion element which is arranged in the beam path of the semiconductor chip and is configured to generate secondary radiation from the primary radiation.

In particular, the component emits white mixed light.

[0048] The invention further relates to a backlight for a display. The backlight preferably comprises the optoelectronic component described above. All definitions and explanations given for the optoelectronic component also apply to the backlight for a display, and vice versa.

[0049] In particular, the optoelectronic component described here is used as a backlight for televisions, computer monitors, and other possible displays. Alternatively, the optoelectronic component can also be used as room lighting.

[0050] Further advantages, advantageous embodiments and further developments emerge from the exemplary embodiments described below in conjunction with the figures.

This protective diode 8 can optionally be present in the component and be laterally spaced from the semiconductor chip 2. The protective diode 8 can be arranged on the substrate 1 within the recess 4 of a component. The reflection element 5 can be part of a housing.

[0059] The Fig. 7A shows a schematic side view of an optoelectronic component 100 according to an embodiment.

[0061] The Fig. 8A and Fig. 8B show emission spectra according to one embodiment and an example of the transmission profile of a blue 8-1, green 8-2, and red 8-3 color filter. In both figures, the relative intensity I rel as a function of the wavelength λ in nm. The Fig. 8A and Fig. 8B each show the total emission, i.e. the emission from primary radiation and secondary radiation, the emission of a semiconductor chip in conjunction with a first and a second phosphor 8-4.

In the case of Fig. 8A the first phosphor is a Sr(Ca,Sr)Si2Al2N6:Eu 2+ In the case of Fig. 8B the first phosphor is a (Sr,Ca) [LiAl3Ni4]:Eu 2+Conventional LCD filter systems consist of three (blue, green, and red) or four (blue, green, yellow, and red) color filters. The LCD filters generally have a half-width (FWHM) of typically 70 nm to 120 nm, within which the transmission can be electrically controlled. The transmitted light results from the superposition of the transmission of the individual color filters. Certain gaps thus arise at the transition points between the filters in the visible spectral range. Consequently, with a broadband, almost continuous spectrum, a certain portion of the emitted LED light is absorbed in the filters. In order to obtain the maximum amount of emitted light from the component with the filters fully open on the screen surface, it is advantageous to use narrow-band phosphors that emit in the range of the individual filter curves ( Fig. 8A and Fig. 8B). It is particularly important that the phosphors used, i.e., the first and second phosphors, each emit only within a filter range to ensure the widest possible color space. The properties of an optoelectronic component can be adapted accordingly using different phosphors. The trend is increasingly toward larger color spaces, for example, DCI-P3 or Rec2020. Therefore, spectrally well-adapted phosphors are required to enable this.

[0062] The Fig. 9A and Fig. 10A each show a CIE color standard diagram. It plots CIEy as a function of CIEx. 9-1 or 10-1 corresponds to the SRGB color space, 9-2 or 10-2 to the DCI-P3 color space, 9-3 or 10-3 to the Adobe color space, and 9-4 or 10-4 to the Rec2020 color space. The figures also show the color space covered by the LED and after filter evaluation. This color space achievable by the component coincides almost perfectly with the DCI-P3 color space (9-2 or 10-2). These color spaces are known to those skilled in the art and are therefore not explained in detail here. Fig. Figure 9B shows the corresponding coverage of the described color spaces in CxCy and u'v' coordinates by an optoelectronic component in which the primary radiation is generated by a blue-emitting semiconductor chip and the secondary radiation by a first phosphor, which here is Sr(Sr 1-x Ca x )Si2Al2N6:Eu 2+and by a second phosphor, which here is a beta-SiAlON. Fig. 10B shows the corresponding coverage of the described color spaces in CxCy or u'v' coordinates by an optoelectronic component in which the primary radiation is generated by a blue-emitting semiconductor chip and the secondary radiation by a first phosphor, which here (Sr 1-y Ca y ) [LiAl3Ni4]:Eu 2+ and by a second phosphor, which here is a beta-SiAlON.
