    Abstract: Disclosed are a wavelength conversion device, and a light source system and a projection system therefor. The wavelength conversion device comprises a supporting structure and a plurality of wavelength conversion modules arranged together, each wavelength conversion module comprising a ceramic carrier and a phosphor material provided thereon. The supporting structure ensures that the plurality of wavelength conversion modules remain fixed relative to one another. The light source system and the projection system both comprise the present wavelength conversion device. The use of ceramic material as the carrier for the phosphor material enables high temperature resistance, and prevents detachment of the phosphor material due to deformation at high temperatures. In addition, such a modular wavelength conversion device does not crack easily, and has a flexible design and shorter production cycle.

  • Patent number: 10146045
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing method for a wavelength conversion device, comprising: preparing a plurality of wavelength conversion modules, each wavelength conversion module comprising a ceramic substrate, a reflecting layer and a fluorescent powder layer, said layers being stacked sequentially and formed into one piece; installing and fixing the plurality of wavelength conversion modules on one surface of a base substrate. By arranging different fluorescent powders respectively on the different wavelength conversion modules, a plurality of wavelength conversion modules can be produced separately at the same time, thereby significantly shortening the production cycle. Each such module is produced independently and is thus not subject to the restrictions of the characteristics of other fluorescent powders. This is beneficial for the optimization of the various processes, and a wavelength conversion device having optimal performance is thereby obtained.
