[0002] The rapid development of the lighting and display industry has provided qualitative improvement for people's daily life, which is largely due to the continuous development and research of new light-emitting materials and devices. The light-emitting spectrum, quantum efficiency, light intensity distribution and other characteristics are the key basic indicators for evaluating the performance of light-emitting materials and devices. Since the light emitted by the light-emitting materials and devices has the characteristic of uneven spatial light intensity distribution, the light-emitting quantum efficiency test of the light-emitting materials generally needs to select an integral sphere device to remove the influence of spatial anisotropy. The integral hemispherical device skillfully uses the equatorial mirror symmetry principle, and is composed of a hemispherical surface and an equatorial high-reflective plane to form a closed hemispherical space. The integral hemispherical device has the same light homogenization effect as the integral sphere with the same diameter, and the size is reduced by half. In addition, the integral hemispherical device can provide nearly twice the light intensity output, and can be applied to more light collection and light homogenization scenes with size requirements. In addition, the previous integral hemispherical device has the problems of simple structure, single function and troublesome sample replacement, and cannot meet the in-situ test and observation requirements of material researchers on the spectrum, quantum efficiency and light intensity distribution of the materials.

[0075] The present application provides an integral hemisphere device for spectral and yield test, which integrates spectral test, luminescence quantum efficiency test and imaging function of luminescent materials and devices, and can greatly improve the test efficiency of photoluminescence characteristics of materials.

[0076] The integral hemisphere device for spectral and yield test provided by the present application is as follows: Figures 1-3As shown, it mainly includes an integrating hemisphere, an excitation light incident module, and an emission light exiting module. The integrating hemisphere consists of a shell 1, a hemispherical cavity 2, and a quartz sample cover 3. The shell 1 protects the hemispherical cavity 2 and houses the components of the excitation light incident module and the emission light exiting module. A circular hole is opened at the center of the bottom of the hemispherical cavity 2, and the quartz sample cover 3 is installed at the circular hole at the center of the bottom of the hemispherical cavity 2. The excitation light incident module consists of a light inlet 4, a first rotary motor 5, and a first reflector 6. The light inlet 4 is opened on the side wall of the shell 1 and the hemispherical cavity 2, and is used to allow excitation light to enter the hemispherical cavity 2. The first rotary motor 5 is installed on the top of the shell 1 near the light inlet 4, and the rotating shaft of the rotary motor extends into the hemispherical cavity 2. The first reflector 6 is installed at a 45° angle to the light inlet 4 at its end. The light emission module comprises a side light emission hole 7, an upper light emission hole 8, a second rotary motor 10, a drive gear 11, a driven gear 12, a push-pull motor 13, a second reflector 14, and a polytetrafluoroethylene plate 15. The side light emission hole 7 is located on the side wall of the outer shell 1 and the hemispherical cavity 2 in a direction perpendicular to the light inlet hole 4. The upper light emission hole 8 is located on the top of the outer shell 1 and the hemispherical cavity 2, directly opposite the quartz sample cover 3. The second rotary motor 10 is installed on the side wall of the outer shell 1, directly opposite the side wall where the light inlet hole 4 is located. The drive gear 11 is installed on its rotating shaft. The driven gear 12 is fastened to the body of the push-pull motor 13 and meshes with the drive gear 11. The push-pull motor 13 is installed on the side wall of the outer shell 1, directly opposite the light inlet hole 4. The push-pull shaft of the push-pull motor 13 extends into the hemispherical cavity 2, and the end of the push-pull motor 13 is fitted and fixed with the back of the first reflector 6 and the polytetrafluoroethylene plate 15.

[0077] The following specific implementation examples illustrate the testing method of the integrating hemisphere device for spectral and yield testing provided by the present invention, which can perform spectral testing, luminescence quantum efficiency testing, and luminescence imaging of the luminescent sample 16, respectively.

[0078] Example 1

[0079] The aforementioned integrating hemisphere device for spectral and yield testing can be placed in the sample chamber of a conventional spectrometer to perform spectral testing of the luminescent sample 16, such as... Figure 4As shown, the luminescent sample 16 is placed in the quartz sample cover 3. First, the first rotary motor 5 is started, and the rotating shaft of the first rotary motor 5 drives the first reflector 6 on it to rotate until the reflective surface of the first reflector 6 is directly facing the light inlet hole 4. Then, the push-pull motor 13 is started to push the second reflector 14 and the polytetrafluoroethylene plate 15, which are fixed to each other on the back, to the top of the quartz sample cover 3 and then stops. Finally, the rotating shaft of the second rotary motor 10 is started to drive the driving gear 11 on it to rotate. The driving gear 11 meshes with the driven gear 12, which can drive the driven gear 12 and the push-pull motor 13, which is fastened to it, to rotate until the second reflector 14 is at a 45° angle to the center line of the side light outlet hole 7 and the reflective surface of the second reflector 14 is facing downward. The sealing plug 9 seals the upper light outlet hole 8. The excitation beam emitted by the light source enters the hemispherical cavity 2 through the light inlet 4, is reflected by the first reflector 6 and passes through the quartz sample cover 3 to illuminate the luminescent sample 16. Most of the light emitted by the luminescent sample 16 is reflected by the second reflector 14 and exits through the side light outlet 7 into the spectral system for spectral testing of the luminescent sample 16.

[0080] Example 2

[0081] The method described above describes an integrating hemisphere apparatus for measuring the luminescence quantum efficiency of luminescent samples.

[0082] Step 1: Test the internal environment of hemispherical cavity 2:

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, no luminescent sample 16 is placed in the quartz sample cover 3. First, the first rotary motor 5 is started to rotate the first reflector 6 so that the reflecting surface of the first reflector 6 is not directly facing the light inlet 4. The excitation beam entering the hemispherical cavity 2 through the light inlet 4 is reflected by the first reflector 6 and hits the inner wall of the hemispherical cavity 2. Then, the push-pull motor 13 is started to push the second reflector 14 and the polytetrafluoroethylene plate 15, which are fixed to the back, to the top of the quartz sample cover 3. Finally, the rotating shaft of the second rotary motor 10 is started to drive the driving gear 11 on it to rotate. The driving gear 11 meshes with the driven gear 12, which can drive the driven gear 12 and the push-pull motor 13, which are fastened to it, to rotate until the polytetrafluoroethylene plate 15 is perpendicular to the bottom of the hemispherical cavity 2 and faces the side light outlet 7. The sealing plug 9 closes the upper light outlet 8. At this time, the half-integrating sphere is a high-reflection-efficiency cavity. The excitation beam emitted by the light source enters the hemispherical cavity 2 through the light inlet 4, is reflected by the first reflecting mirror 6 and hits the inner wall of the hemispherical cavity 2, and after multiple diffuse reflections in the hemispherical cavity 2, it is uniformly emitted into the spectral system through the side light outlet 7 to obtain the environmental spectral parameters inside the hemispherical cavity 2.

[0084] The second step is to test the luminescence quantum efficiency of luminescent sample 16:

[0085] like Figure 6As shown, the light-emitting sample 16 is placed in the quartz sample holder 3; the first rotary motor 5 is started again to rotate the first mirror 6, so that the reflecting surface of the first mirror 6 is opposite to the light inlet hole 4; the second mirror 14 and the PTFE plate 15 which are fixed on the back are kept in the position above the quartz sample holder 3, and the PTFE plate 15 is kept perpendicular to the bottom of the hemispherical cavity 2 and faces the side light outlet hole 7. The upper light outlet hole 8 is closed by the plug 9. The excitation light beam emitted by the light source enters the hemispherical cavity 2 through the light inlet hole 4, is reflected by the first mirror 6, and irradiates the light-emitting sample 16 through the quartz sample holder 3. The light emitted by the light-emitting sample 16 after excitation is uniformly emitted into the spectral system through the side light outlet hole 7 after multiple diffuse reflections in the integrating sphere, and the spectral parameters of the light-emitting sample 16 with the influence of the environment in the hemispherical cavity 2 are obtained. The light-emitting quantum efficiency of the light-emitting sample 16 is obtained by operation with the spectral parameters of the environment in the hemispherical cavity 2 obtained in the first step.

[0086] Example 3

[0087] The light-emitting imaging method of the light-emitting sample by the above-described spectral and yield test integrating hemispherical device is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the whole set of integrating hemispherical device is placed directly below the imaging system; the light-emitting sample 16 is placed in the quartz sample holder 3; first, the first rotary motor 5 is started to rotate the first mirror 6, so that the reflecting surface of the first mirror 6 is not opposite to the light inlet hole 4. The excitation light beam entering the hemispherical cavity 2 through the light inlet hole 4 is reflected by the first mirror 6 and hits the inner wall of the hemispherical cavity 2. Then, the push-pull motor 13 is started to pull the second mirror 14 and the PTFE plate 15 which are fixed on the back to a position away from above the quartz sample holder 3. The side light outlet hole 7 is closed by the plug 9. The excitation light beam emitted by the light source enters the hemispherical cavity 2 through the light inlet hole 4, is reflected by the first mirror 6, and irradiates the inner wall of the hemispherical cavity 2. After multiple diffuse reflections in the hemispherical cavity 2, the light uniformly irradiates the light-emitting sample 16. The light emitted by the light-emitting sample 16 after excitation is emitted into the imaging system through the upper light outlet hole 8 directly above, and the light-emitting imaging of the light-emitting sample 16 is realized.
