Abstract

A method of tuning color temperature of light-emitting device having an overall color temperature, comprising: providing a carrier; disposing at least two LED units on the carrier, wherein there is a space formed between the two LED units, and the overall color temperature of the light-emitting device is positively correlated to the space; and setting a predetermined temperature for the overall color temperature by adjusting the space.

Claims (18)

1. A method of tuning color temperature of light-emitting device having an overall color temperature, comprising:

providing a carrier;

disposing at least two light-emitting diode (LED) units on the carrier, wherein there is a space formed between the at least two LED units, and the overall color temperature of the light-emitting device is positively correlated to the space; and

setting a predetermined temperature for the overall color temperature by adjusting the space.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the overall color temperature of the light-emitting device is increased with the space, and/or the overall color temperature of the light-emitting device is decreased with the space.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising measuring the overall color temperature of the light-emitting device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein there is a flux of radiation of the light-emitting device increased with the space.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the space is between 0.15 mm to 8 mm.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein there is a luminous flux variation of the light-emitting device and the luminous flux variation is about 0.2%˜3.0%.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein there is a change of the overall color temperature and the change is about 25K˜340K.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LED unit comprises a side surface for emitting light outwardly.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LED unit comprises:

a light-emitting body;

a first transparent structure covering the light-emitting body;

a second transparent structure arranged on the first transparent structure; and

a conductive portion arranged under the light-emitting body and electrically connected to the light-emitting body.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the LED unit further comprises:

a wavelength conversion layer formed between the light-emitting body and the second transparent layer.
