Color Offset in the Process of High-Power LED Life Aging

Abstract

In order to study color offset of the high-power white light and blue light LED in the whole life, a series of high-power white light and blue light emitting diodes are lighted continuously under a constant current. In the light of different period of time, measured the light emitting diode emission spectrum, color coordinate, color temperature of the light emitting diodes are measured at different periods; light luminous flux, color coordinate and color temperature changes are also measured under different currents. The experimental results show that the color of LED is different at different period under the same current, and is also different under a variable current. The article studied the influence of different factors on the color offset, and pointed out that the high-power LED color offset is caused by not only phosphors aging but also more major changes of the material itself. Furthermore, the results will provide a reference to the application of white LED and for the further study.
