Abstract: Phosphor plays an important role in LED packages by converting the wavelength of light and achieving specific color. The property and degradation of phosphor are strongly affected by the temperature. Some structural factors have been investigated in this paper and their effects are evaluated. Remote phosphor is an effective approach to improve the performance and reliability of LED modules and products. It is a trade-off that the final product design depends on both the thermal performance and the cost.
