照明装置及产生白光的方法Lighting device and method for producing white light

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种照明装置,且特别涉及一种具有可变色温的照明装置。The present invention relates to a lighting device, and in particular to a lighting device with variable color temperature.

背景技术Background technique

随着科技的进步,使用者对于照明的需求日益增加,对照明品质的要求也逐渐提高。近年来,发光二极管(LED)已渐渐取代传统的光源,主要是由于发光二极管与传统光源相较之下,具有发光效率佳、寿命长、可靠度高以及体积小等优点,故其应用的范围非常广泛。With the advancement of science and technology, users' demand for lighting is increasing day by day, and their requirements for lighting quality are also gradually increasing. In recent years, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have gradually replaced traditional light sources. Compared with traditional light sources, light-emitting diodes have the advantages of good luminous efficiency, long life, high reliability, and small size, so their application range very broad.

以目前产生白光的照明装置而言,其可通过产生冷白光的元件与产生暖白光的元件来进行混光,使得照明装置能依据不同的设定而发出对应的白光。As for the current lighting device that generates white light, it can mix light through components that generate cool white light and components that generate warm white light, so that the lighting device can emit corresponding white light according to different settings.

然而,在上述作法中,通过混光而形成的白光,其在CIE色度图中的色度座标点通常无法确切地落于黑体曲线(Black Body Locus,BBL)上,使得依据上述作法所形成白光的颜色有明显偏差的情形发生。However, in the above method, the chromaticity coordinate points of the white light formed by mixing light in the CIE chromaticity diagram usually cannot exactly fall on the black body curve (Black Body Locus, BBL), so that the white light formed according to the above method A situation where the color of white light deviates significantly occurs.

其次,当照明装置依据不同的设定而发出对应的白光时,其中的发光元件必须受控制为全暗或全亮,因此上述混光的操作无法较有弹性地来进行,且通过混光形成的白光颜色也可能较不均匀。Secondly, when the lighting device emits corresponding white light according to different settings, the light-emitting elements in it must be controlled to be completely dark or fully bright, so the above-mentioned operation of mixing light cannot be performed more flexibly, and the light-emitting element formed by mixing light The color of the white light may also be less uniform.

再者,为了将产生冷白光的元件与产生暖白光的元件放置于同一个灯具内,以便进行混光的操作,因此上述作法必须于同一个灯具内配置相当多数量的LED,造成制作成本增加,进而导致照明装置本身的价格昂贵,更有甚者,照明装置本身的尺寸也无法有效地缩小。Furthermore, in order to place the components that generate cool white light and the components that generate warm white light in the same lamp for light mixing operation, the above method must configure a considerable number of LEDs in the same lamp, resulting in increased production costs. , which leads to the high price of the lighting device itself, what's more, the size of the lighting device itself cannot be effectively reduced.

图1为依照本发明实施例绘示一种照明装置的示意图。照明装置100包含第一发光元件110、第二发光元件120、第三发光元件130以及载体140,其中载体140承载第一发光元件110、第二发光元件120以及第三发光元件130,且第一发光元件110、第二发光元件120与第三发光元件130各自所发出的光,经混合后形成白光。需注意的是,图1所示的结构仅为方便说明而概略示意而已,并非用以限定本发明。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an illuminating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Thelighting device 100 includes a firstlight emitting element 110, a secondlight emitting element 120, a thirdlight emitting element 130 and acarrier 140, wherein thecarrier 140 carries the firstlight emitting element 110, the secondlight emitting element 120 and the thirdlight emitting element 130, and the first The lights emitted by thelight emitting element 110 , the secondlight emitting element 120 and the thirdlight emitting element 130 are mixed to form white light. It should be noted that the structure shown in FIG. 1 is only schematically illustrated for convenience of description, and is not intended to limit the present invention.

第一发光元件110用以发出具有第一波长的光,其中第一波长小于约480纳米(nm)。第二发光元件120用以发出具有第二波长的光,其中第二波长大于约570纳米(nm)。第三发光元件130用以发出具有第三波长的光,而与具有第一波长的光和具有第二波长的光选择性地混合,以形成在CIE色度图(如:CIE 1931色度图)中色度座标点大致位于黑体曲线(Black Body Locus,BBL)上的白光。上述具有第三波长的光的颜色,主要是由具有第一波长的光与具有第一色温的白光在CIE色度图中相应座标点的线性关系,以及具有第二波长的光与具有第二色温的白光在CIE色度图中相应座标点的线性关系,此两者所决定。The firstlight emitting element 110 is used for emitting light with a first wavelength, wherein the first wavelength is less than about 480 nanometers (nm). The secondlight emitting element 120 is used for emitting light with a second wavelength, wherein the second wavelength is greater than about 570 nanometers (nm). The third light-emitting element 130 is used to emit light with a third wavelength, and selectively mix with light with a first wavelength and light with a second wavelength to form a CIE chromaticity diagram (such as: CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram) ) in which the chromaticity coordinate point is roughly located on the black body curve (Black Body Locus, BBL) white light. The color of the above-mentioned light with the third wavelength is mainly composed of the linear relationship between the light with the first wavelength and the white light with the first color temperature in the CIE chromaticity diagram, and the relationship between the light with the second wavelength and the white light with the second color temperature. The linear relationship between the color temperature of white light and the corresponding coordinate points in the CIE chromaticity diagram is determined by the two.

上述及下列所称色度座标点大致位于黑体曲线上的白光,主要是指白光的相应色度座标点确实位于黑体曲线上,或者其色度座标点与黑体曲线上各座标点的偏差在误差范围百分之十以内,或更佳地于百分之五以内。The white light whose chromaticity coordinate points are roughly located on the blackbody curve mentioned above and below mainly refers to that the corresponding chromaticity coordinate points of the white light are indeed located on the blackbody curve, or the deviation between the chromaticity coordinate points and the coordinate points on the blackbody curve is within the error range within ten percent, or more preferably within five percent.

在一实施例中,第一发光元件110和第二发光元件120可由发光晶粒、发光二极管(LED)芯片或其它发光元件(或发光源)来实现,而第三发光元件130则可由荧光粉覆盖发光晶粒或LED芯片的型式来实现。In one embodiment, the first light-emittingelement 110 and the second light-emittingelement 120 can be realized by light-emitting dies, light-emitting diode (LED) chips or other light-emitting elements (or light-emitting sources), while the third light-emittingelement 130 can be realized by phosphor powder It can be realized by covering the luminescent grain or LED chip.

需注意的是,上述发光元件所发出的光并不限于是以何种形式产生;换言之,上述发光元件可以是单纯的发光体或是搭配荧光材料的发光体,任何本领域的技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,当可设计不同的发光源或是搭配荧光材料,来实现上述发光元件及其发光后混合产生白光的效果。It should be noted that the light emitted by the above-mentioned light-emitting elements is not limited in what form; Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, different light sources can be designed or matched with fluorescent materials to achieve the effect of the above-mentioned light-emitting elements and their mixing to generate white light after emitting light.

下列将以实施例来说明上述由CIE色度图中相应座标点的线性关系来决定具有第三波长的光颜色的方式。图2为依照本发明实施例绘示一种CIE色度图及其中色度座标点匹配的情形。同时参照图1和图2,具有第一波长的光(如蓝光)在色度图中位于座标点B,具有第二波长的光(如红光)在色度图中位于座标点R,具有第一色温的白光以及具有第二色温的白光在色度图中分别位于座标点W1、W2,且座标点W1、W2大致位于黑体曲线200上。其次,座标点B和座标点W1经匹配而形成第一延伸线L1,座标点R和座标点W2经匹配而形成第二延伸线L2,而具有第三波长的光(如包含蓝光波长的特定荧光)在色度图中则大致位于第一延伸线L1与第二延伸线L2的相交处(即座标点P)。因此,第三发光元件130所发出具有第三波长的光(位于座标点P),便可与第一发光元件110所发出具有第一波长的光(位于座标点B)和第二发光元件120所发出具有第二波长的光(位于座标点R)选择性地混合形成黑体曲线200上的白光。如此一来,便可有效地让形成的白光确切地落于黑体曲线200上,避免所形成白光的颜色有明显偏差的情形发生,而且混光的操作可以较有弹性地来进行,使混光形成的白光颜色相对均匀。The following example will be used to illustrate the method of determining the color of the light with the third wavelength based on the linear relationship of the corresponding coordinate points in the CIE chromaticity diagram. FIG. 2 shows a CIE chromaticity diagram and a situation where chromaticity coordinate points match according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 simultaneously, the light (such as blue light) with the first wavelength is located at coordinate point B in the chromaticity diagram, and the light with the second wavelength (such as red light) is located at coordinate point R in the chromaticity diagram, with The white light with the first color temperature and the white light with the second color temperature are respectively located at coordinate points W1 and W2 in the chromaticity diagram, and the coordinate points W1 and W2 are approximately located on theblackbody curve 200 . Secondly, the coordinate point B and the coordinate point W1 are matched to form the first extension line L1, the coordinate point R and the coordinate point W2 are matched to form the second extension line L2, and the light with the third wavelength (such as a specific wavelength including blue light) Fluorescence) in the chromaticity diagram is roughly located at the intersection of the first extension line L1 and the second extension line L2 (that is, the coordinate point P). Therefore, the light with the third wavelength (located at the coordinate point P) emitted by the third light-emittingelement 130 can be compared with the light with the first wavelength (located at the coordinate point B) emitted by the first light-emittingelement 110 and the second light-emittingelement 120. The emitted light having the second wavelength (at coordinate point R) is selectively mixed to form white light on theblack body curve 200 . In this way, the formed white light can be effectively made to fall exactly on theblackbody curve 200, avoiding the occurrence of obvious deviations in the color of the formed white light, and the light mixing operation can be performed more flexibly, so that the light mixing The resulting white light is relatively uniform in color.

在一实施例中,具有第三波长的光(位于座标点P)可与具有第一波长的光(位于座标点B)混合而形成具有第一色温的白光(位于座标点W1),而具有第三波长的光(位于座标点P)可与具有第二波长的光(位于座标点R)混合而形成具有第二色温的白光(位于座标点W2)。In one embodiment, the light with the third wavelength (located at the coordinate point P) can be mixed with the light with the first wavelength (located at the coordinate point B) to form white light with the first color temperature (located at the coordinate point W1), and has The light of the third wavelength (located at the coordinate point P) can be mixed with the light of the second wavelength (located at the coordinate point R) to form white light with a second color temperature (located at the coordinate point W2).

此外,上述具有第三波长的光(位于座标点P)在CIE色度图中的座标点不位于黑体曲线200上。如此一来,便可通过调整并混合具有第一波长的光、具有第二波长的光和具有第三波长的光,来形成色度图中大致位于黑体曲线上的白光。In addition, the coordinate point of the light having the third wavelength (located at the coordinate point P) in the CIE chromaticity diagram is not located on theblack body curve 200 . In this way, by adjusting and mixing the light having the first wavelength, the light having the second wavelength and the light having the third wavelength, white light which is approximately on the blackbody curve in the chromaticity diagram can be formed.

在另一实施例中,具有第一色温的白光(位于座标点W1)可以是一色温范围内具有最高色温(如5000K)的冷白光,具有第二色温的白光(位于座标点W2)可以是色温范围内具有最低色温(如2700K)的暖白光。另外,具有第三波长的光(位于座标点P)可与具有第一波长的光或是蓝光混合而形成具有最高色温的冷白光,具有第三波长的光(位于座标点P)可与具有第二波长的光或是红光混合而形成具有最低色温的暖白光。In another embodiment, the white light with the first color temperature (located at the coordinate point W1) can be cool white light with the highest color temperature (such as 5000K) in a color temperature range, and the white light with the second color temperature (located at the coordinate point W2) can be Warm white light with the lowest color temperature (such as 2700K) in the color temperature range. In addition, the light with the third wavelength (located at the coordinate point P) can be mixed with the light with the first wavelength or blue light to form cool white light with the highest color temperature, and the light with the third wavelength (located at the coordinate point P) can be mixed with the light with the Light of the second wavelength or red light mixes to form warm white light with the lowest color temperature.

图3为依照本发明实施例绘示一种波长及其相对强度的示意图。如图1和图3所示,第一发光元件110所发出的光可以是落于蓝光波段的光,其第一波长可小于约480纳米,且较佳地可介于约440纳米和约460纳米间的波段范围内;第二发光元件120所发出的光可以是落于红光波段的光,其第二波长可大于约570纳米,且较佳地可介于约580纳米和约630纳米间的波段范围内;第三发光元件130所发出的光则可包含具有第一波长的光以及介于约480纳米至约570纳米波段范围内的光。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a wavelength and its relative intensity according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the light emitted by the first light-emittingelement 110 can be light in the blue light band, and its first wavelength can be less than about 480 nanometers, and preferably can be between about 440 nanometers and about 460 nanometers The light emitted by the second light-emittingelement 120 can be in the red light band, and its second wavelength can be greater than about 570 nanometers, and preferably between about 580 nanometers and about 630 nanometers within the wavelength range; the light emitted by the thirdlight emitting element 130 may include light with the first wavelength and light within a wavelength range from about 480 nanometers to about 570 nanometers.
