Phosphor-in-glass (PiG) typed robust color converters were fabricated using Pb-free silicate glasses for high-power white LED applications. SiO2B2O3RO(R=Ba,Zn)SiO2B2O3RO(R=Ba,Zn) glass powder showed good sintering behavior and high visible transparency under the sintering condition of 750 °C for 30 min without noticeable interaction with phosphors. By simply changing the thickness of the PiG plate or mixing ratio of glass to Y3Al5O12:Ce3+Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphor, CIE chromaticity coordinates of the LED can be easily controlled. Enhanced thermal quenching property of PiG compared to phosphor with conventional silicone resin suggests its prominent feasibility for high-power/high-brightness white LEDs.
