Thermal properties, luminous quality performance and limit parameters of LEDs
Thermal properties of LED The optical parameters of the LED have a great relationship with the junction temperature of the PN junction. Generally, the temperature rise of the LED is not obvious when the LED is continuously lit for a long time at a small current IF<10mA or 10-20mA. If the ambient temperature is high,…
Luminous brightness level development and life calculation of LED
1. Luminous brightness Brightness is an important parameter of LED luminous performance. It means that the surface brightness of the luminous body in a certain direction is equal to the luminous flux radiated by a unit projected area on the luminous body’s surface in a unit solid angle. The unit of brightness is cd/m2. The…
