Abstract

An arrangement ( 1 ) for generating white light ( 5 ), having at least two light-emitting diodes, wherein the first diode ( 2 ) is designed to generate blue light, wherein a conversion element ( 4 ) is associated with the first diode, wherein the conversion element is designed to convert a part of the blue light from the first diode into green light, and wherein the conversion element is designed to convert a part of the blue light from the first diode into red light, wherein the second diode ( 3 ) is provided to emit red light.

Claims (15)

1. An arrangement for generating white light, having at least two light-emitting diodes,

wherein the first diode generates blue light,

wherein a conversion element is associated with the first diode,

wherein the conversion element converts a part of the blue light from the first diode into green light,

wherein the conversion element converts a part of the blue light from the first diode into red light,

wherein the first diode and the conversion element are adapted in such a way that the light emitted by the conversion element has a colour point in a triangular region of a chromaticity diagram, wherein the triangular region is delimited by a sixth line, which runs along the Planck curve and which can be described by the following formula:

Cy=−(2.453*Cx 2 )+2.446*Cx)−0.195, where Cy denotes the Y value of the chromaticity diagram and Cx denotes the X value of the chromaticity diagram, and wherein the triangular region is delimited by a seventh line, which runs alongside the conversion straight line and which can be described by the following formula: Cy=1.478*Cx−0.110, where Cy denotes the Y value of the chromaticity diagram and Cx denotes the X value of the chromaticity diagram, and

wherein the second diode emits red light.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the conversion element comprises green phosphor.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least first diode and the at least second diode are connected electrically in series to a power supply.

4. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the conversion element comprises red phosphor.

5. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the conversion element is adapted in such a way that the light emitted by the conversion element has a colour point in a chromaticity diagram, which is located between a conversion straight line of the green phosphor and the Planck curve.

6. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first diodes having a first conversion element or a plurality of second diodes are provided.

7. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the luminous fluxes of the first and second diodes and the conversion element are adapted in such a way that the white light generated has a colour point which is located in a predetermined region around a Planck curve of a CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram.

8. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first diodes having a first conversion element and a plurality of second diodes are provided.
