Abstract

A luminescence conversion of LED, which uses a blue emitting chip and two illuminating substances, whereby one emits a red and the other a yellow to green. Both illuminating substances are separated upstream from the chip.

Claims (7)

1. A luminescence conversion LED having a radiation-emitting chip, the primary radiation of the chip being UV to blue and being at least partially converted into longer-wave secondary radiation by a conversion element, wherein the conversion element comprises a separate arrangement of two phosphors, of which a first phosphor emits red secondary radiation and a second phosphor emits yellow to green secondary radiation, with only the first phosphor being applied directly to the chip, wherein a layer thickness of the first phosphor is at most 40 μm, and wherein the second phosphor is dispersed in a potting compound which has a layer thickness of at least 200 μm.

2. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first phosphor has a peak wavelength of emission at 590 to 680 nm and has a full width at half maximum of emission of 60 to 130 nm.

3. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second phosphor has a peak wavelength of emission at 490 to 580 nm and has a full width at half maximum of emission of 30 to 135 nm.

4. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chip has a peak wavelength at 450 to 470 nm.

5. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chip is surrounded by a housing, the chip being seated in a recess in the housing.

6. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chip includes a reflector for the emitted primary and secondary radiation.

7. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the absorption of the first phosphor, which emits red secondary radiation, significantly overlaps the secondary emission of the second phosphor, which emits yellow to green secondary radiation.
