CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Solid state lighting and LED light sources

Solid state lighting with a focus on LED light sources has

opened up a revolution in lighting where key contributors were

awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics, and in 2015 declared by

the International Union is the light year. With outstanding

advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency, ability to change

the structure of the emission spectrum, safety for the environment

and users, LED light source has become the main alternative light

sources replacing all other traditional light sources.

1.1.1. Working principle of LED

LED - Light-Emitting Diode. To create luminescent devices,

straight band gap semiconductors are used with two impurity types

donor (n type) and acceptor (p type), creating a zone called p-n

junction, while the device is called the diode.

In order to increase the quantum efficiency of components,

instead of using homogeneous semiconductors, people use

semiconductor materials with different band gap Eg to create a p-n

junction called a heterogeneous junction. When the p-n junction uses

a semiconductor material with a lower Eg sandwiched between two

materials with a higher Eg, the free carriers will be locked inside a

region with low Eg, called a quantum well. The quantum well

structure increases the recombination probability of the carrier,

which increases the luminescent efficiency of the component [3].

1.1.2. Phosphor materials

Phosphor-converted materials are very important components

that directly affect the quality and efficiency of the LED light source.

3

Commercial luminescent materials currently used for white LEDs

include: Garnet, Alluminat, Silicate and Nitride. The challenge for

material scientists and manufacturers is to reduce the emission

spectral width of these phosphors or to find new materials to replace.

1.1.3. White LED packages (WLED)

There are 3 way to fabricate WLED: 1) Using 4 types of LED

chips Blue - Amber - Green - Red combined together to form a

White LED Module ( RGBA-WLED); 2) UV LED chip combined

with Blue Green Red 3-color phosphor; 3) BLED chip combined

with 560nm yellow phosphor.

The phosphor-converted White LED (Pc-WLED) is the

configuration that plays a key role in today's LED packaging market

with the advantages: simplicity, high temperature resistance and

stable color quality.

1.1.4. LED luminaire

An LED luminaire (LED luminaire) used in general lighting is

composed of four components, which are the LED module, the

driver source, the heat sink, and the optics.

1.1.5. The characteristics of LED light suorces

Characteristics that evaluate the quality and effectiveness of

light sources are described by the following parameters: optical

parameters (luminous flux, power, optical efficiency), color

parameters (emission spectrum, color temperature correlation, color

rendering coefficient, color cleanliness), luminous intensity and

luminous intensity distribution.

1.2. Free-form optical Devices

1.2.1. Free-form optical devices

4

FO optics is the next generation of modern optics, offering

outstanding differentiation features and high system integration. FO

is defined as the optics of asymmetrical surfaces or of any shape,

designed with non-traditional technologies, including: rotating

symmetrical spherical or aspherical components (off-axis section),

non-standard rotating symmetrical profiles such as cones, arcs or any

other shape, and the FO component conforms to the geometry of the

system.

FO creates new opportunities for optical designers, while also

presenting challenges to fabrication technology and measurement

methods. FO is widely used in the fields of green technology, solid

lighting, aerospace, agriculture and biomedical. FO components have

the potential to revolutionize the optical industry, so now this is an

active research field in terms of both fundamental and applied

research as well as the development of processing tools,

measurement, shown through the number of more than 230

important publications, hundreds of patents and industrial products in

recent times.

1.2.2. FO applications in solid state lighting

The application of FO components in LED-based solid state

lighting technology is one of the most important in recent years due

to the benefits of solid state lighting technology in combination with

FO. However, the design of a non-imaging optical system requires a

new approach, especially because of the variety of optical

characteristics of different types of LEDs.

In the field of interior lighting, there are many studies focusing

on the design and application of smart lighting systems using LEDs

5

[49-51, 78-92], however the non-uniformity of luminance

distribution is still the weakness of solid lighting systems. Integrating

FO lenses with LED light sources for the purpose of evenly

illuminating the ceiling is a trend that attracts a lot of attention from

designers.

1.3. Lighting

1.3.1. Human vision

Recent research results show that the human eye is not only for

seeing, but also a means of connecting the human internal biological

clock with the Earth's rotation and the solar system.

In urban life, when artificial lighting environment is different

from natural light in length, spectral structure, there is no signal at

the beginning and the end of day, circadian rhythm will be reversed

and has many consequences for physical, physiological and mental

health.

1.3.2. Lighting pollution

In modern times and in big cities, people spend more and more

time in artificial lighting environments. The difference between

artificial light environment and natural light environment can be

considered as light pollution. As a result of these differences is one

of the causes of nearsightedness (myopia) and other human

physiological ailments such as poor performance, depression,

insomnia, heart disease, weight gain and even cancer [45]. Light

pollution factors derive from the limited functionality of the light

source types, as well as due to weaknesses in lighting design.

1.3.3. Human centric lighting

6

HCL-Human Centric Lighting- is the most important topic and

most actively discussed today, as the industrial revolution 4.0 comes

to life. Recent studies also show that the huge difference between the

natural light environment and the artificial light environment is one

of the causes of various types of distortion such as myopia,

amblyopia, and sleep, amnesia, depression, infertility ... [46, 59-64].

Scientists, R&D centers of lighting companies have many

researches, looking for new human centric lighting solutions, that is,

creating artificial lighting environments that are close to the natural

light environment that consistent with human circadian rhythms

[106-109].

In this thesis, I will focus on the research, design and fabrication

of new light sources based on LED light sources integrated with FO

components to solve pressing problems in lighting such as glare,

inconvenience, loss of rhythm, protect eyesight and health for users.

CHAPTER II. METHOD, TECHNIQUES AND

TECHNOLOGY

2.1. Calculate, design and simulate using assistant software

We used specialized software such as Excel, Origin to calculate

and analyze data, especially in the process of processing

measurement data of fluorescence spectra, reflection spectrum,

transmission spectrum...

To design optical or mechanical components, we have chosen

Solidworks software to design lens profiles, light trays and auxiliary

details such as headlamps, suspension bars...

After designing the lens profile, we conducted optical

simulation to evaluate the light redistribution efficiency of the optical

7

lens system using optical simulation software such as Optgeo,

Tracepro, Zeemax...

2.2. Techniques and technology

2.2.1. Fabricating FO prototypes

After designing the structure for FO components, we fabricate

FO prototypes using one of two technologies: CNC cutting from

PMMA materials and 3D printing using transparent optical

material.

The prototype after creating has many defects, which needs to

be completed by 3 methods: grinding and polishing; processing

temperature; optical coating. Experimental results for the optical

coating method gave the best results.

2.2.2. FO manufacture using plastic injection molding

technology

We use only thermoplastic injection technology in the

manufacture of FO lenses and other optical components in our LED

luminaire production chain.

The chosen materials for use depend on the needs and specific

use of the product. Specifically, the asymmetrical and narrow lens

sample is manufactured from PS material, while the lens for fish

lamps uses PC material.

2.2.3. Aluminum extrusion technology

For large-scale production, aluminum casting technology and

aluminum extrusion technology are used instead of CNC machine

tool cutting technology. We choose to design linear lamps with the

aim of saving costs, creating a competitive advantage when wanting

to commercialize the product.

8

2.3. Measurement and evaluated method

2.3.1. Methods and equipment for measuring characteristics

of materials

We have used some methods and equipment of the Key

Laboratory of the Institute of Materials Science to measure the

characteristics of materials and components. Fluorescence

measurement system investigates the emission spectrum of phosphor

materials for LEDs.

To determine the gloss of FO components after thermoplastic

injection molding, the FSEM scanning electron microscope is a

suitable device. Usually the gloss of optical components is about λ/5

to λ/10 equivalent to 100nm to 50nm.

2.3.2. Equipment for measuring characteristics of LED light

suorces

Intergrating sphere measuring system is a combination of

measuring devices including: intergrating sphere, spectrometer,

luminous flux probe, computer with display software support, used

to measure optical - electrical parameters of the light source.

Goniophotometer: is a device for measuring the distribution of

light intensity with angle. Measurements are standardized and stored

in IES format, where the luminance (unit of measure cd) is a function

of the projection angle.

2.4. Lighting model installation

Simulating the lighting environment using Dialux Evo

software

We used Dialux Evo simulation software to calculate the

lighting options for buildings to make the best choice. The actual

9

construction model gives the same results as the simulation when

choosing the simulation values close to the actual state of the model.

CHAPTER III. DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF WHITE

LED LIGHT SUORCE USING REMOTE-PHOSPHOR

CONFIGURATION

3.1. Introduction

Today's white LEDs are mainly produced by coating phosphor

directly onto blue LED chips. With this configuration, most of the

light comes out from the LED chip, fluorescent light is reflected

back and causes loss. The configuration to take the phopshor away

from the LED chip has been proposed by many authors, effectively

increasing lighting efficiency and lamp life [95, 96, 105]. In this

thesis, we have proposed and fabricated white LEDs with RP

(remote-phosphor) configuration that have superior features than

previously used configurations.

3.2. Design and fabrication of white LED light suorce with

RP configuration

3.2.1. Design white LED light suorce with RP

configuration

White LED remote - phosphor configuration uses a flat LED

plate designed by us includes the blue LED array as the source, the

radiator tube for the LED, a light guide plate covered with phosphor

+ scattering film, diffuser plate, reflector plate.

3.2.2. Design and fabrication of light guide plate

The novelty of the solution proposed by us in this solution is the

light redistribution and conversion structure that allows the creation

of a new, high-performance, non-glare light source. The selected

10

light guide plate is made by PMMA material with a rectangular

shape. Light beam will propagate along the plate due to the total

reflection effect at the interface between air (n=1) and optical medium (n=1.5) with the critical angle 42o. On the upper interface of guide plate, a matrix of extraction dots was printed using silk

screening technique. The shape, composition and size of the

extraction dots will determine the proportion of the composition of

the light coming out from surface of the light guide sheet.

The matrix of extractions dots is made by silk screen printing method of a mixture YAG:Ce3+ and EPI glue (a solvent used in screen printing technology).

3.2.3. Fabrication of white LED light suorce with RP

configuration

A light guide plate made of PMMA material with size 160x270x5 mm3 above is printed with extraction dots inserted into the slot of the heatsink, below is stuck with LED printed circuit. The

LED we choose to fabricate is Osram's OSLON with efficiency

about 56%. Different color RP-configured white LEDs have been

successfully fabricated (Figure 3.5).

Fig. 3.5. White LED lamps with RP configuration

11

3.2. Measuring and investigating optical parameters of RP-

configured white LEDs

The fluorescence imaging of the extraction dots showed that the

phosphor particles were unevenly arranged and clustered together,

forming a multilayer structure in some locations.

The measurement of the optical parameters of the luminaire

show that, when the phosphor ratio in the glue/phopshor mixture

increases, the CCT of the luminaire decreases, but the color

rendering coefficient (CRI) of the luminaire is almost unchanged. .

The CRI enhancement solution for luminaires is to add the red

phopshor component to the fabricated glue / phosphor mixture.

CHAPTER IV. COMPUTERING, DESIGN,

SIMULATION AND FABRICATION OF FREE-FORM

OPTICS

4.1. Design and simalution of free-form optics

By the ray drawing method, we simulated and selected

asymmetric lens (AL) profile and the optimal installation conditions

of the ceiling beacon to produce a secondary light source (ceiling

house) has the most uniform intensity of light in a fixed size room.

4.1.1. Design free-form optics profile

We started with 04 cylindrical AL lens profiles with cross

section as shown in Figure 4.1. The inner surface of the AL lens has

an asymmetric profile, with the refractive power increasing gradually

from the left side to the right side.

4.1.2. Simulating illuminance on the ceiling and on the floor

We simulated the intensity distribution on the ceiling and the

illumination distribution on the floor with the following conditions:

12

room size: 4x4m2, height 3m; distance from LED to ceiling: 0,4m; initial selected projection angle from the horizontal: 60o; optical detector placement: on the ceiling or on the floor.

Fig. 4.1. Designed lenses by modifying inner and outer curvatures

and thickness

The results of simulating the light intensity distribution on the

ceiling and the illuminance distribution on the floor show that for the

selected asymmetrical profile of 4 AL lens samples, the lens sample

with B4 profile gives the best result. This lens model has been

selected for further calculations of the distance and angle of the lamp

suspension.

4.1.3. Multiparameters optimization

After selecting the B4 profile, we continued to simulate the

dependence of the uniformity on the distance and projection angle to

optimize the lighting solution.

Distance factor optimization: We evaluated the lighting results for a 4x4x3m3 room by varying the distance from the lamp to the

13

ceiling. Simulation results show that uniformity increases with

increasing distance from lamp to ceiling.

Optimized projection angle: We evaluated the lighting results for a room with the size of 4x4x3m3, the distance from the lamp to the ceiling was 0,4m and the projection angle changed. The results show that the angle of 60o is optimal.

Conclusion: In [CT 1], we have proposed a ray drawing

simulation method to optimize the AL lens profile suitable for a

typical lighting model. The limitation of simulation method in the

project [CT 1] is that the criteria for selecting AL lenses with profiles

B1 to B4 are just comparing the illumination uniformity with each

other, not giving the total criteria.

4.2. Theoretical calculation to creat a criterion for lens

design

[CT 2] project proposes a different approach to indirect lighting

solution using LEDs to create a high uniform intensity distribution.

This is a theoretical analysis method to create a criterion for the

design of LED luminaires incorporating FO lenses with an ideal light

intensity distribution curve.

4.2.1. Modeling and theoretical analysis

Our model to be illuminated is a room with length many times

larger than width, whereby the ceiling is lighting by two LED light

sources with the length equal to the length of the room. The

illuminance on the ceiling will be calculated by the formula:

14

The width of the room is L and dividing into n parts of nx∆L.

The angles of θi and αi form between Li and the light source and between the right-edge Li and the side-wall, respectively.

We have investigated the effect of LED installation location and

room size on the illuminance distribution by varying parameters h

and L. The results show that when the h/L ratio increases, the

uniformity increases.

4.2.2. Alternative approach to uniform lighting system

We found it impossible to achieve an evenly distributed indirect

lighting system using two long conventional LED arrays. A

completely new design approach and theoretical approach is required

to create a room with a uniformly illuminated ceiling, becoming a

user-friendly secondary light source.

In order to obtain a perfectly uniform luminance distribution on

the ceiling when illuminated by two linear light sources from

opposite sides, all light sources that produce illuminance

distributions on the ceiling with a Logistic function satisfy this

condition. The Logistic function is represented as:

where L is the curve’s maximum value; k is the Logistic growth rate;

x is the distance; xo is the value of x at the midpoint of ceiling.

Figure 4.14 (a) illustrates the luminance distribution line in the

form of a function f (x) with speed k = 3 on a ceiling projected from

two opposite light sources. When both light sources work together,

the illuminance on the ceiling will be completely uniform due to the

15

superposition of the symmetrical beam across the center of the

ceiling. Figures 4.14 (c) and (d) illustrate the schematic of the

angular illuminance distribution ω between the light ray and the

horizontal direction, plotted in the perpendicular and polar

coordinates of an LED light source integrated with the FO lens

system with k values ranging from 1 to k = 5. It is found that the opening angle of the beam at half height is quite narrow (~ 12o) and is asymmetrical, extending to the right with a large angle ω.

Fig. 4.14. (a) The light distribution for both left and right LEDs

with k = 3; (b) the light distribution of the left LED source following

Logistic function for several k; and (c) and (d) luminous intensities

as the function of beam angle of the left LED source for several k

Conclusion: By the mathematical analysis method, we have

given the general formula for LED luminaires to achieve absolute

uniformity, based on Logistic function form with different k growth

rate. Calculation results in some cases from k = 1 to k = 5 show that

the larger k, the faster the variable speed, so to facilitate the design of

FO lenses, the small k value should be chosen.

16

Another result of the mathematical analysis method in [CT 2] is

the angular luminous intensity distribution diagrams of the lens-

integrated LED light source with different k growth rates. These

obtained theoretical luminance distribution plots allow direct

comparison with the measured luminance distribution plots of actual

luminaires.

4.3. Fabrication of free-form optical components 4.3.1. AL-Asymmetric lens Asymmetric profile lenses are empirically designed based on an idea that has been protected in Utility solution [GPHI- 11]. The AL lens profile is divided into three parts: the converging part is a half-convex cylindrical lens, the non- refractive transmission part is 1/4 cylindrical, and the flat base is used to attach into heatsink, drawn on Figure 4.19a. AL lens version V1 is made by thermoplastic injection molding method, with starting material is GP-PS (Figure 4.19 b).

Figure 4.19 a / (left) AL lens profile V1 version; b / (right) Lens photo V1 version made of GP-PS

4.3.2. NAL - narrow angle lens The V1 first version of the NAL narrow angle lens is designed based on the concept protected by the Utility Solution [GPHI 6], following the technological process employed to

17

make asymmetric lenses AL. The purpose of this Solution is to propose an LED structure with a limited illumination angle of less than 80o, while at the same time creating a uniform luminance distribution on the table top, in order to save energy and prevent glare for the student when they are looking at the board, it contributes to reducing the rate of refractive errors.

Figure 4.27 shows some NAL lenses fabricated by thermoplastic injection molding, along with a 3D image of the IES intensity distribution chart of lens integrated LED luminaires.

4.3.3. FO lens for fishing lamps FO lenses are the core difference of the fishing lamp that we designed and manufactured, in order to redistribute light on the sea surface. The cylindrical lens surface is divided into three parts including the converging part, the non-refractive transmission part and the base part used to attach the heatsink. Asymmetrical cylindrical lenses made by thermal injection have the dimensions 165mm long, 120mm wide and the cross- section as shown in Figure 4.29.

CHAPTER V. DESIGN, FABRICATION OF SKYLED LUMUNAIRES INTERGRATED FO LENSES AND INSTALLATION LIGHTING MODEL

5.1. LED luminaire incorporates asymmetric profile

lenses

5.1.1. Wall mounted SkyLED luminaires Wall mounted SkyLED luminaire designed by us (Figure 5.1) and manufactured (Figure 5.3) [SC7] uses an LED light source integrated with AL asymmetric lens to redistribute the light, etch to deal with the glare and inconvenience of existing lamps.

The optical - electrical parameters of the luminaire were measured on an intergrating sphere measuring system at the Institute of Materials Science. The results showed that the parameters of the luminaire met the specified standards: color temperature CCT 5054K, CRI ~ 85, optical efficiency E = 97lm/W, total power of the luminaire is 18W.

5.1.2. SkyLED luminaire incorporated with NAL lens An Utility solution [GPHI 6] proposes an LED structure with a limited illumination angle of less than 80o, while at the same time creating an even illumination distribution on the table top, in order to save energy and prevent glare for students. When looking at the board, it contributes to reducing the rate of refractive errors.

5.1.3. Fishing Asymmetric Lens LED (FAL LED) The FAL LED - Fishing Asymmetric Lens LED - is designed by us including: an array of parallel LED arrays welded on the printed circuit board; a heatsink; a multi-lens array with an asymmetric structure (AL-Asymmetric Lens) parallel to each other; a transparent light housing to protect against dust and water ingress; a power supply unit with other accessories.

5.2. Human Centric Lighting Parameters of the lighting environment

20

including

intensity,

light

light

As the criteria for artificial lighting environments, we have conducted research on the characteristics of natural lighting environments spectrum structure, light distribution.

- Light quantity: from 500lux to 1000lux. - Light spectrum structure: using 3-color changeable SkyLED lights or smart SkyLEDs that continuously change color and intensity in the room.

- Light distribution: a wide angle of illumination (~ π sr) erases the shadow of everything and low luminance ensures a high amount of light.

- Circadian Rhythm: To create a day-and-night rhythm as suggested by HCL trend, we also utilize intelligent connected and controlled platforms for dynamic lighting with multiple packages different products.

5.3. Installation of realistic lighting models 5.3.1. Meeting rooms, classrooms The lighting model of the meeting room was simulated by us using Dialux software, whereby a 43-square-meter meeting room using 26 wall-mounted SkyLEDs, a total capacity of 468W, lighting power density of 11W/m2, achieves an average illuminance of 590lux. We installed a real model at Institute of Materials Science.

5.3.2. Apartments, houses The HCL Solution in the apartment creates a superior lighting efficiency compared to other traditional lighting solutions, while saving the cost of installation and long-term

21

use. The average illuminance reaches 500lux depending on the space used, with the energy density below 10W/m2, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Construction issued (<13W/m2).

5.3.5. Anti-Myopia light box Concerning the factors causing the prevalence of myopia, to our knowledge, the excessive long time doing near works and bad lighting environment are the most important. Bearing on mind from the evolutional perspective, that light from natural sky is the best for human vision, we have designed and made prototypes of so called light box (Fig. 5.32) that mimics the day sky light.

Fig. 5.32. Structure of anti-myopia light box Fig. 5.33. Photo of the anti-myopic light box using 10 W SkyLED® with illuminance E=1000 lux

The main parameters of our light box are high and uniform illuminance E~1000lux; high and uniform background luminance (>200cd/m2); glare-free and shadow-free lighting environment. Furthermore, a mirror installed in the right corner will help to relax our eyes since the distant objects can be seen through it. The desk lamps of all kinds claimed “anti-

22

myopic” are not suitable to the expected functionality, since they don’t have the attributes of natural daylight environment.
