Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention discloses a light-emitting device including a first light source, a second light source, and an optical element. The first light source is configured to emit a first light at a first low temperature and a first high temperature, and has a first hot/cold factor. The second light source is configured to emit a second light at the first low temperature and the first high temperature, and has a second hot/cold factor. The optical element is configured to generate a third light by the excitation of the first light, and reach a second high temperature higher than the first high temperature under the irradiation of the first light.

Claims (13)

1. A light-emitting device, comprising:

a first light source configured to emit a first light at a first low temperature and a first high temperature, and has a first hot/cold factor;

a second light source configured to emit a second light at the first low temperature and the first high temperature, and has a second hot/cold factor; and

an optical element configured to generate a third light by an irradiation of the first light, and reach a second high temperature higher than the first high temperature under the irradiation of the first light.

2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first light, the second light, and the third light can be mixed into a mixed light which has chromaticity coordinate differences of (Δx, Δy) between the first low temperature and the first high temperature, wherein Δy/Δx>−0.2.

3. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first light, the second light, and the third light can be mixed into a mixed light which has a first chromaticity coordinate point at the first low temperature and a second chromaticity coordinate point at the first high temperature, wherein the first chromaticity coordinate point and the second chromaticity coordinate point are located on two sides of a black-body radiation curve.

4. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first light, the second light, and the third light can be mixed into a mixed light which has a first chromaticity coordinate point at the first low temperature and a second chromaticity coordinate point at the first high temperature, wherein the first chromaticity coordinate point and the second chromaticity coordinate point are located on the same side of a black-body radiation curve.

5. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first light, the second light, and the third light can be mixed into a mixed light which has a first chromaticity coordinate point at the first low temperature and a second chromaticity coordinate point at the first high temperature, a line from the first chromaticity coordinate point to the second chromaticity coordinate point is substantially parallel to a black-body radiation curve.

6. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first light, the second light, and the third light can be mixed into a mixed light which has a first correlated color temperature at the first low temperature and a second correlated color temperature at the first high temperature which is greater than the first correlated color temperature.

7. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein κ difference between the first high temperature and the second high temperature is of 30° C.˜40° C.

8. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , therein the first light comprises a blue light, the second light comprises a red light.

9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the optical element comprises a wavelength conversion material which is distant from the second light source.

10. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the optical element comprises a frustum.
