摘要
设计并制备了12 V 的GaN基绿光高压发光二极管(LED), 并对其进行了变电流测试。研究了绿光高压LED的正向电压、峰值波长、光功率以及光效等重要参数随注入电流的变化关系, 电流变化范围为3~50 mA, 测试温度为25 ℃。实验结果表明: 电流对绿光高压LED的光电特性有很大影响。在驱动电流为20 mA时, 对应电压为14 V。随着注入电流的增大, 峰值波长蓝移了2 nm。随着电流的增大, 光功率近似于线性增加。在注入电流从3 mA增大到20 mA的过程中, 光效降低了约61%; 在注入电流从20 mA增大到50 mA的过程中, 光效降低了约39%。这说明高压LED在大电流驱动时, 光效降低的幅度比较缓慢。上述结果对 GaN基绿光高压 LED 的改进优化具有一定的参考价值。
Abstract
GaN-based green high-voltage (HV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) of 12 V were designed and fabricated. The optical and electrical parameters such as forward voltage, peak of wavelength, optical power, and luminous efficiency were investigated when the injection current varied from 3 mA to 50 mA at 25 ℃. The results show that the injection current has a great effect on the optical and electrical properties of the GaN-based high-voltage LED. When the current is 20 mA, the corresponding voltage is 14 V. With the increasing of the injection current, the blue-shift of LED peak wavelength reaches 2 nm. In addition, the optical power increases approximately linearly with the current increasing. The luminous efficiency decreases 61% when the injection current increases from 3 mA to 20 mA, and decreases 39% when the injection current increases from 20 mA to 50 mA. It indicates that the luminous efficiency decreases more slowly when the high-voltage LED is driven by large current. These results will have a certain reference value for the improvement and optimization of GaN-based high-voltage LEDs.
