Abstract
In this paper we describe a novel thermal characterization method of GaN-based Light Emitting Diode (LED) package driven under the Alternating Current (AC) mode. The result was compared with the results from the thermal analysis for LED package operated under the Direct Current (DC) condition. Different from the DC condition, the junction temperature rise with the operation time of LED package was exhibited in a band formation. Finite Volume Method (FVM) was utilized to calculate the thermal performance of LED package under the AC condition using the input power extracted from the output current and voltage from the AC power supply. The experimental result was in a good agreement with the simulation data.

Pore characteristics for improving luminous efficacy of phosphor-in-glass.

TL;DR: It is found that PIGs sintered within a given viscosity range exhibit different optical properties depending on their pore size and overall porosity; a higher luminous efficacy observed in the case of intermediate scattering length values was due to an improved interaction between pores and light.

Optical and frequency degradation behavior of GaN-based micro-LEDs for visible light communication.

TL;DR: The results show that micro-LEDs under AC mode have better reliability because of the decreased junction temperature, but the high current density would still generate some defects within or around the active region, which can increase the trap-assisted tunneling (TAT) current and non-radiative recombination.
