Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED lighting technologies face challenges with heat dissipation, particularly in 4π light-emitting configurations, where heat dissipation is poor and limited to 2π light-emitting designs, leading to reduced reliability and luminous efficiency due to increased junction temperatures affecting both LED chips and phosphors.

Innovation Solution

A fluorescent glue for LED lighting bars and bulbs comprising a phosphor, a heat radiation material with a refractive index greater than 1.4 and heat emissivity greater than 0.8, and a colloid, which converts heat into infrared waves for efficient radiation dissipation without additional heat dissipation devices, allowing for 4π light emission and improved luminous efficiency.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite fluorescent glue comprising phosphor particles, heat radiation material particles (with refractive index >1.4 and heat emissivity >0.8), and colloid. This composite structure enables simultaneous phosphor excitation for light emission and heat radiation for thermal management, resolving the contradiction between maintaining phosphor functionality and improving heat dissipation.

Solution Approach 2:

The fluorescent glue is designed to perform multiple functions: (1) phosphor excitation to convert short-wavelength LED light to long-wavelength light, (2) heat radiation through materials with high heat emissivity (>0.8), and (3) light transmission with reduced reflection due to high refractive index (>1.4). This multi-functionality allows a single component to address both optical conversion and thermal management needs.

AI summary

Disclosed is a fluorescent glue for an LED lighting bar, and an LED bulb lamp, the fluorescent glue comprises a phosphor, a heat radiation material having a refractive index larger than 1.4 and a heat emissivity larger than 0.8, and a colloid, the heat radiation material accounts for 0.5% to 10% by weight of the fluorescent glue, the phosphor accounts for 25% to 45% by weight of the fluorescent glue, and the colloid accounts for 45% to 74.5% by weight of the fluorescent glue. The fluorescent glue combined with the heat radiation material can directly convert heat generated by an LED chip and the fluorescent glue into infrared waves that are radiated into the surrounding environment, without additionally providing a heat dissipating device or spraying a heat dissipating coating.
