Toward Smart and Ultra‐efficient Solid‐State Lighting
Tóm tắt
Solid‐state lighting has made tremendous progress this past decade, with the potential to make much more progress over the coming decade. In this article, the current status of solid‐state lighting relative to its ultimate potential to be “smart” and ultra‐efficient is reviewed. Smart, ultra‐efficient solid‐state lighting would enable both very high “effective” efficiencies and potentially large increases in human performance. To achieve ultra‐efficiency, phosphors must give way to multi‐color semiconductor electroluminescence: some of the technological challenges associated with such electroluminescence at the semiconductor level are reviewed. To achieve smartness, additional characteristics such as control of light flux and spectra in time and space will be important: some of the technological challenges associated with achieving these characteristics at the lamp level are also reviewed. It is important to emphasise that smart and ultra‐efficient are not either/or, and few compromises need to be made between them. The ultimate route to ultra‐efficiency brings with it the potential for smartness, the ultimate route to smartness brings with it the potential for ultra‐efficiency, and the long‐term ultimate route to both might well be color‐mixed RYGB lasers.

Solid‐state lighting can in principal be based on inorganic or organic semiconductors. Although we will mention organic semiconductors in the context of display technology in this article we emphasize the inorganic semiconductors which for solid‐state lighting are currently the most advanced.
Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg Germany recently announced research results with a record efficiency of 61% for a red high‐power LED. The 1 mm2chip housed in a laboratory package emits at a dominant wavelength of 609 nm with a luminous efficiency of 201l m/W at an operating current of 40 mA. At a typical operating current of 350 mA its luminous efficacy is still 168 lm/W so even at this high wattage more than half of the electrical energy is converted into light.

Note that phosphor cooling can be especially problematic though progress is being made with higher thermal conductivity conformal phosphor coatings so that the phosphor can be cooled reasonably effectively through the LED die.

Note that ultra‐efficiency also translates to a lower capital cost of light (the cost of the lamp) by simplifying heat management. Lower cost in turn translates to decreased energy consumption through increased market penetration.

This plot has been adapted from:J. Y.Tsao P.Waide “The World's Appetite for Light: A Simple Empirical Expression Spanning Three Centuries and Six Continents LEUKOS 6 259–281 (2010). The only changes are: it plots per capita light consumption and gross domestic product rather than total light consumption and gross domestic product; and a data point for the US in 2010 has been added from Navigant “2010 US Lighting Market Characterization” (US Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Building Technologies Program 2012).

For simplicity this equation omits theAcontribution from SRH defect recombination which would normally be overwhelmed by theBandCterms. However for low threshold current density devices the A contribution might be significant and would need to be considered.

However note that the In content can be reduced somewhat (to 20%) if InGaN alloys are grown strained on c‐plane GaN: the quantum‐confined Stark effect red‐shifts the emission wavelength from ∼470 nm (for unstrained InGaN) to 530 nm (for fully strained InGaN).
