Abstract

Inverted packaging structure is a promising alternative for thermal isolation between light-emitting diode (LED) chips and quantum dot (QD) converters with effective heat dissipation. However, serious reflection loss occurs at the lead frame owing to the inverted bonding of LED chips. In this study, the scattering nanoparticles-induced reflection effect has been developed to enhance the optical efficiency of inverted QD-LEDs combined with the centrifugation technique. The strong back-scattered effect of boron nitride (BN) nanoparticles with a thin columnar structure is chosen for reflection enhancement according to the ray-tracing and finite different time-domain simulations. Furthermore, a centrifugation technique is introduced to control the equilibrium geometry of the BN-incorporating reflector (BNR) by changing the centrifugal speed. Results indicate that the luminous flux of inverted QD/BNR-LEDs using the optimized concave BNR structure largely increases by 82.8% compared with reference inverted QD-LEDs. The great enhancement is attributed to the light concentrated effect of the concave geometry and the strong diffusion reflection ability of BN scattering nanoparticles. Consequently, the smart design on reflection properties of inverted QD-LEDs is critical for achieving high optical performances.
