A Novel PiGF@diamond Color Converter with a Record Thermal Conductivity for Laser-Driven Projection Display.

High-brightness laser lighting is confronted with crucial challenges in developing laser-excitable color converting materials with effective heat dissipation and super optical performance. Herein, a novel composite of phosphor-in-glass film on transparent diamond (PiGF@diamond) is designed and fabricated via a facile low-temperature co-sintering strategy. The as-prepared La 3 Si 6 N 11 : Ce 3+ (LSN: Ce) PiGF@diamond with well retained optical properties of raw phosphor shows a record thermal conductivity (TC) of ∼599 W·m -1 ·K -1 , which is about 60 times higher than that of currently well-used PiGF@sapphire (∼10 W·m -1 ·K -1 ). As a consequence, this color converter can bear laser power density (LPD) up to 40.24 W·mm -2 and a maximum luminance flux (LF) of 5602 lm without luminescence saturation due to efficient inhibition of laser-induced heat accumulation. By further supplementing red spectral component of CaAlSiN 3 : Eu 2+ (CASN: Eu), the PiGF@diamond based white laser diode (wLD) is successfully constructed, which can yield warm white light with a high color rendering index (CRI) of 89.3 and find practical LD-driven applications. The findings will pave the way for realizing the commercial application of PiGF composite in laser lighting and display. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
