Researchers from the University of Twente have discovered a unique numerical light transport tool that can help the lighting industry design more efficient white LEDs, as it provides a fast yet accurate determination of key transport parameters, and also introduces predictive power into the design process of white LEDs.
The performance of white LED’s can be improved, based on better knowledge of the absorption and scattering of light inside the LED. A new method, developed by the University of Twente in Netherlands and Philips Lighting, can lead to efficiency improvement and powerful design tools.
