Abstract

A method for improving color purity of a light source module is provided. The light source module includes a light source suitable for emitting color lights with different wavelengths and a transparent cover encapsulating the light source. In the method, a light filtering material is coated on or doped into the transparent cover to absorb part of the color lights with specific wavelengths. Besides, a light source module which adopts the method is provided.

Claims (27)

1. A method for improving color purity of a light source module, wherein the light source module comprises a light source suitable for emitting color lights with different wavelengths and a transparent cover encapsulating the light source, the method comprising coating a light filtering material on the transparent cover or doping the light filtering material into the transparent cover to exclusively absorb part of the color lights with specific wavelengths.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the light filtering material comprises rare-earth elements.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the light filtering material comprises didymium.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific wavelengths is between 480 nm and 500 nm and between 570 nm and 600 nm.

5. A light source module, comprising:

a carrier;

at least one LED chip disposed on the carrier and suitable for emitting color lights with different wavelengths;

a transparent cover disposed on the carrier and encapsulating the LED chip; and

a light filtering material coated on or doped into the transparent cover to exclusively absorb part of the color lights with specific wavelengths.

6. The light source module according to claim 5 , wherein the light filtering material comprises rare-earth elements.

7. The light source module according to claim 6 , wherein the light filtering material comprises didymium.

8. The light source module according to claim 5 , wherein the transparent cover comprises a compound disposed on the carrier and at least covering the LED chip.

9. The light source module according to claim 8 , further comprising a fluorescent material doped into the compound.

10. The light source module according to claim 8 , wherein the material of the compound comprises epoxy resin.

11. The light source module according to claim 5 , wherein the carrier comprises a frame.

12. The light source module according to claim 5 , wherein the carrier comprises a substrate.

13. The light source module according to claim 5 , wherein the specific wavelengths is between 480 nm and 500 nm and between 570 nm and 600 nm.

14. A light source module, comprising:

a hollow transparent tube having a discharging space;

a pair of electrodes disposed at two ends of the hollow transparent tube respectively;

a discharging gas filling the discharging space;

a fluorescent material coated on the internal surface of the hollow transparent tube, wherein the fluorescent material is suitable for emitting color lights with different wavelength after being excited; and

a light filtering material coated on or doped into the hollow transparent tube to exclusively absorb part of the color lights with specific wavelengths.

15. The light source module according to claim 14 , wherein the light filtering material comprises rare-earth elements.

16. The light source module according to claim 15 , wherein the light filtering material comprises didymium.

17. The light source module according to claim 14 , wherein the material of the hollow transparent tube comprises glass.

18. The light source module according to claim 14 , wherein the specific wavelengths is between 480 nm and 500 nm and between 570 nm and 600 nm.
