  • Patent number: 10386548
    Abstract: A diffuse reflection material, a diffuse reflection layer, a wavelength conversion device, and a light source system are disclosed. The diffuse reflection material includes white scattering particles and an adhesive agent, where the whiteness of the white scattering particles is greater than 85, and the white scattering particles contain high reflection scattering particles with a whiteness of greater than 90, high refraction scattering particles with a refractive index of greater than or equal to 2.0, and high thermal conductivity scattering particles, where the high thermal conductivity scattering particles are boron nitrite and/or aluminum nitride particles, and the particle shape of the high thermal conductivity scattering particles is rod-like or flat. The reduction in the thickness of the diffuse reflection layer is realized while keeping a high reflectivity, thus causing the wavelength conversion device to have both a high light efficiency and high heat stability.

  • Patent number: 9897303
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wavelength conversion device, and its light source system and projection system. The wavelength conversion device includes a wavelength conversion material layer, and a first light-filtering layer on a first side of the wavelength conversion material layer. The wavelength conversion device also includes a first thermally-conductive dielectric layer configured between the wavelength conversion material layer and the first light-filtering layer. The first thermally-conductive dielectric layer has a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to the wavelength conversion material layer, and has a refractivity less than the wavelength conversion material layer. Accordingly, the heat generated by the wavelength conversion material layer may be timely conducted out, thus improving the conversion efficiency of the wavelength conversion device.

  • Publication number: 20170146219
    Abstract: Provided is a wavelength conversion device, comprising a substrate, a reflecting layer, and a light-emitting layer superimposed successively. The light-emitting layer contains a wavelength conversion material and a second binder, and the reflecting layer contains reflecting particles, auxiliary particles, and a first binder. The reflecting particles are used for reflecting light, and the auxiliary particles are used for filling voids between the reflecting particles. The first binder is used for binding the reflecting particles and auxiliary particles into a layer. The reflecting layer not only ensures a higher reflectivity, but also achieves a lower thickness, such that the heat produced by the light-emitting layer can be better transmitted to the substrate through the reflecting layer, which avoids a decrease in the light conversion efficiency caused by an excessively high temperature of the light-emitting layer. Also disclosed is a light-emitting device comprising such a wavelength conversion device.
