  • Publication number: 20160004147
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wavelength conversion device, a light-emitting device and a projection system, comprising a wavelength conversion layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite each other. The first surface receives an excitation light. The wavelength conversion layer absorbs the excitation to produce a converted light and emits the converted light or the mixture of the converted light and the excitation light from the first surface and the second surface. A scattering reflective substrate is stacked with the wavelength conversion layer and includes a white porous ceramic or a white scattering material for scattering the incident light. The scattering reflective substrate includes a third surface facing the second surface and scatters at least a part of the incident light on the third surface and then emits all the light from the third surface to the second surface.

  • Patent number: 9075299
    Abstract: A light source device uses a wavelength down conversion material for absorbing an excitation light and generating a converted light, and a color filter for filtering the converted light to generate a different color light as output. The wavelength conversion material is a yellow or green phosphor which absorbs blue or UV light and generates a yellow or green converted light, which has a sufficiently wide spectrum to cover some of the red color region. The color filter only allows the red component of the converted light to be output. This system is more energy efficient than using a red phosphor. This light source may be implemented as a moving phosphor wheel having multiple segments, one of which being the yellow or green phosphor with the corresponding color filter, the other segments being used to generate other colored lights such as green and blue lights.

  • Patent number: 8740406
    Abstract: A light source includes two excitation light sources generating two respective excitation lights, a filter, and a wavelength conversion material. The second excitation light has a peak wavelength shorter than that of the first excitation light. The transmittance curves of the filter are dependent on the input angle. The first and second excitation lights are inputted to the filter at angles smaller than a first threshold angle, and angles between the first and a third threshold angle, respectively. Both excitation lights pass through the filter to excite the wavelength conversion material, which generates a converted light but reflects some of the excitation lights. Part of the reflected first excitation light reaches the filter at input angles greater than a second threshold angle and is reflected by the filter back to the wavelength conversion material for recycling. The third and second threshold angles are greater than the first threshold angle.
