Abstract

With the increase of the requirements for lighting quality, full spectrum light emitting diode (LED) lighting becomes the development hotspot. In this paper, the key materials for full spectrum LED phosphors are discussed and compared in detail. The advantages and disadvantages, research progress, and practical application of various color phosphors excited by violet and near ultraviolet light are emphasized, and then the existing problems, development trend, and industrial direction in this field are analyzed and prospected. Currently, there remain many problems in the phosphors excited by violet and near ultraviolet light, which can be applied in full spectrum. For example, the blue and cyan phosphors take on narrow emission spectrum, low light efficiency, and poor thermal stability; yellow phosphors and far-red phosphors have a low luminous efficiency due to their low absorption of violet or near ultraviolet light; and single matrix white phosphors have insufficient red light emission. Among them, luminous efficiency and thermal stability are the key factors restricting the application of the phosphors. Therefore, it is urgent to research the preparation and application technology of wide spectrum blue, cyan, yellow green, yellow, far-red, and single matrix white phosphors with high light efficiency and thermal stability, and develop the high-efficient and continuous preparation technology of the present phosphor products, to promote the further development of full spectrum LED.
