Abstract

A lighting device includes a light source, at least one seal block, at least one wavelength conversion material and a concentration adjusting unit. The light source emits light of a first wavelength. The wavelength conversion material is filled in the seal block. The concentration adjusting unit is disposed on the seal block for controlling concentration distribution of the wavelength conversion material in the seal block. The light emitted by the light source is absorbed by the wavelength conversion material and converted into light of second wavelength different from the first wavelength.

Claims (29)

1. A lighting device comprising:

a light source for emitting light of a first wavelength;

at least one seal block;

at least one wavelength conversion material filled in the seal block; and

a concentration adjusting unit disposed on the seal block for controlling concentration distribution of the wavelength conversion material in the seal block, wherein the light emitted by the light source is absorbed by the wavelength conversion material and converted into light of second wavelength different from the first wavelength.

2. The lighting device according to claim 1 wherein the light source is a light emitting diode or a fluorescent lamp.

3. The lighting device according to claim 1 wherein the light source and the seal block are encapsulated together.

4. The lighting device according to claim 1 wherein the concentration adjusting unit includes a plurality of electrodes arranged on bilateral sides of the seal block for applying a voltage thereon.

5. The lighting device according to claim 4 wherein the wavelength conversion material is a phosphor covering charged ions or a charged phosphor.

6. The lighting device according to claim 1 wherein the concentration adjusting unit includes at least a motor-driven element, which is coupled with the seal block, for adjusting capacity of the seal block.

7. The lighting device according to claim 6 wherein the motor-driven element is electrically or manually controlled.

8. The lighting device according to claim 6 wherein the wavelength conversion material is a phosphor.

9. A lighting device comprising:

a light source for emitting light of a first wavelength;

at least one seal block;

at least one wavelength conversion material, which includes charged particle swarms and is filled in the seal block; and

a plurality of electrodes arranged on bilateral sides of the seal block for applying a voltage on the seal block, wherein concentration distribution of the wavelength conversion material in the seal block is determined according to the voltage, and the light emitted by the light source is absorbed by the wavelength conversion material and converted into light of second wavelength different from the first wavelength.

10. The lighting device according to claim 9 wherein the light source is a light emitting diode or a fluorescent lamp.

11. The lighting device according to claim 9 wherein the light source and the seal block are encapsulated together.

12. The lighting device according to claim 9 wherein the wavelength conversion material is a phosphor covering charged ions or a charged phosphor.

13. A lighting device comprising:

a light source for emitting light of a first wavelength;

at least one seal block;

at least one wavelength conversion material, which is filled in the seal block; and

at least a motor-driven element coupled with the seal block for adjusting capacity of the seal block, wherein concentration distribution of the wavelength conversion material in the seal block is determined according to the capacity of the seal block, and the light emitted by the light source is absorbed by the wavelength conversion material and converted into light of second wavelength different from the first wavelength.

14. The lighting device according to claim 13 wherein the light source is a light emitting diode or a fluorescent lamp.

15. The lighting device according to claim 13 wherein the light source and the seal block are encapsulated together.

16. The lighting device according to claim 13 wherein the motor-driven element is electrically or manually controlled.

17. The lighting device according to claim 13 wherein the wavelength conversion material is a phosphor.
