Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of filament packaging, specifically to an LED filament packaging process. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional LED filament packaging technology has several shortcomings. In terms of substrate processing, conventional methods struggle to precisely control the surface energy and roughness of the substrate, affecting the quality of subsequent processes. Regarding light extraction structures, ordinary structured light extraction efficiency is limited and cannot meet the requirements for high-efficiency light emission.
[0003] In thin film growth technology, films prepared by traditional processes have unsatisfactory performance, such as low carrier mobility. In chip interconnect technology, traditional welding methods are prone to problems such as high stress and high interface void ratio, affecting connection reliability. In chip packaging layers, traditional packaging materials and structures are difficult to achieve comprehensive performance such as high luminous efficiency, wide color temperature adjustment range, and good heat dissipation. Flexible substrate materials have limited performance, and bending modulus and thermal conductivity need to be improved. In terms of heat dissipation structure, traditional heat dissipation methods are difficult to effectively reduce the peak heat flux density of the package. In addition, LED filaments prepared by traditional processes cannot reach ideal levels in terms of light decay, operating temperature, bending cycle tolerance, and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an LED filament packaging process to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an LED filament packaging process, the method comprising the following steps: The surface of the flexible substrate is pre-activated using supercritical carbon dioxide fluid-assisted plasma treatment technology. The treatment pressure is 7.5-15MPa, the temperature is 35-50℃, and the treatment time is 15-45 seconds. After treatment, the surface energy of the substrate can be increased to 65-80mN / m. Micro-nano arrays with bi-curvature biomimetic moth-eye structures were fabricated on pre-activated substrates using femtosecond laser direct writing technology. The main period was 50-150 nm, the secondary period was 10-30 nm, and the structural depth gradient was 0.5-2 μm / 100 μm. Heterojunction films of indium gallium zinc oxide and graphene were grown on the surface of micro-nano arrays using pulsed laser deposition. The film thickness ranged from 30 to 100 nm, and the carrier mobility was ≥15 cm⁻¹. 2 / (V·s); The transient liquid phase diffusion welding technology is used to achieve low-stress connection between LED chip array and heterojunction thin film. The welding temperature is 120-140℃, the welding time is 0.5-2 seconds, and the interface void ratio is ≤0.1%.
[0006] Preferably, the supercritical carbon dioxide fluid is doped with a perfluoropolyether surfactant at a mass fraction of 0.1-0.5%. By adjusting the fluid viscosity to 1.2-3.5 mPa·s, the nanoscale roughness of the substrate surface can be precisely controlled, with a roughness Ra of 8-15 nm.
[0007] Preferably, the bi-curvature biomimetic moth eye structure is generated by a fractal algorithm, and its curvature radius is distributed in a logarithmic spiral along the radial direction. The angle between the structure sidewall and the substrate normal varies continuously from 5 to 85°, and the light extraction efficiency is improved to over 92%.
[0008] Preferably, in the IGZO / graphene heterojunction film, the graphene layer is grown on a copper foil by chemical vapor deposition and then transferred, with 1-3 layers. The interface between IGZO and graphene is formed into a nanoscale embedded structure by argon plasma bombardment, with an interface resistance ≤50Ω·μm. 2 .
[0009] Preferably, the process further includes coating the LED chip surface with a perovskite quantum dot-liquid metal composite encapsulation layer, wherein the liquid metal is a gallium indium tin alloy with a melting point adjusted to 10-25°C, and the volume ratio of quantum dots to liquid metal is 1:3-1:8. The composite layer forms an ordered array through microfluidic shear-induced self-assembly.
[0010] Preferably, the perovskite quantum dots have a CsPbBr3 / CsPbI3 core-shell structure, the shell thickness is controlled to 2-5nm through in-situ ion exchange reaction, the quantum dot emission wavelength is dynamically adjustable from 550-700nm through electric field modulation, and the color temperature adjustment range is 2000-10000K.
[0011] Preferably, the flexible substrate is a composite material of polyetheretherketone and carbon nanotubes, with a CNT mass fraction of 0.5-2%, the substrate bending modulus is adjusted to 2-8 GPa by magnetic field-assisted orientation, and the thermal conductivity is increased to 5-15 W / (m·K).
[0012] Preferably, the encapsulation also includes a phase change material microcapsule heat dissipation structure integrated at both ends of the encapsulation body. The phase change material is a paraffin / expanded graphite composite material with a phase change temperature of 40-60℃ and a microcapsule particle size of 10-50μm, which reduces the peak heat flux density of the encapsulation body by more than 60%.
[0013] Preferably, in transient liquid phase diffusion welding, the solder is a composite material of tin-silver-copper lead-free alloy and nano-silver particles, with a nano-silver mass fraction of 5-15%. During the welding process, a pulsed magnetic field of 0.1-1T and 10-100Hz is applied to promote the flow of liquid metal and achieve void-free welding.
[0014] Preferably, at a luminous efficacy of 200 lm / W, the light decay is ≤3% after 10,000 hours, the operating temperature is ≤60℃, and it can withstand ≥10,000 bending cycles with a curvature radius of 1mm without failure. It also has electromagnetic shielding effectiveness with attenuation of ≥20dB in the 30MHz-1.5GHz frequency band.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The LED filament packaging process proposed in this invention employs supercritical carbon dioxide fluid-assisted plasma treatment technology and dops with perfluoropolyether surfactants to regulate fluid viscosity, which can precisely control the nanoscale roughness of the substrate surface (Ra is 8-15nm), while increasing the substrate surface energy to 65-80mN / m, providing a good foundation for subsequent processes.
[0016] A biomimetic moth-eye structure micro-nano array with double curvature was fabricated using femtosecond laser direct writing technology. This structure was generated by a fractal algorithm, with the radius of curvature distributed in a logarithmic spiral along the radial direction. The angle between the sidewall of the structure and the normal of the substrate varies continuously from 5 to 85°, which improves the light extraction efficiency to over 92% and effectively enhances the luminescence efficiency.
[0017] Heterojunction films of indium gallium zinc oxide and graphene were grown using pulsed laser deposition. The film thickness was 30-100 nm, and the carrier mobility was ≥15 cm⁻¹. 2 / (V·s), and the interface between IGZO and graphene is formed by argon plasma bombardment to create a nanoscale embedded structure with an interface resistance ≤50Ω·μm. 2 This improves the performance of thin films.
[0018] The transient liquid phase diffusion welding technology is adopted, using a composite solder of tin-silver-copper lead-free alloy and nano-silver particles, and applying a pulsed magnetic field during the welding process to achieve low-stress connection between LED chip array and heterojunction thin film. The welding temperature is 120-140℃, the welding time is 0.5-2 seconds, and the interface void ratio is ≤0.1%, which improves the connection reliability. Attached Figure Description
