In the end, only about 30-40% of the input electrical energy is converted into light energy, and the remaining 60-70% of the energy is mainly generated by the lattice vibration of non-radiative recombination. form heat energy. So, does the
solar street light generate heat? How much heat can it generate? How much heat does the LED generate? As the chip temperature increases, non-radiative recombination will be enhanced, further weakening the luminous efficiency. So much heat that problems occur during use. In addition, many people who use high-power LEDs for the first time do not know how to effectively solve the thermal problem, making product reliability a major problem. Under the forward voltage of LED, the electrons obtain energy from the power supply. Driven by the electric field, they overcome the electric field of the PN junction and transition from the N region to the P region. These electrons recombine with the holes in the P region. Since the free electrons drifting to the P region have higher energy than the valence electrons in the P region, the electrons return to a low-energy state during recombination, and the excess energy is released in the form of photons. The wavelength of the emitted photons is related to the energy difference Eg. It can be seen that the light-emitting region is mainly near the PN junction, and the light-emitting is due to the recombination of electrons and holes to release energy. In a semiconductor diode, electrons encounter resistance all the way from entering the semiconductor region to leaving the semiconductor region. Simply in principle, the physical structure of semiconductor diodes Simply in principle, the number of electrons emitted from the source negative electrode and the number of electrons returned to the positive electrode are equal to the physical structure of the semiconductor diode. For ordinary diodes, when the electron-hole pair recombination occurs, the released photon spectrum is not in the visible light range due to the factor of the energy level difference Eg. On the way inside the diode, electrons will consume power due to the existence of resistance. The power consumed is in line with the basic laws of electronics: Pu003dI2Ru003dI2(RN++RP)+IVTH In the formula: RN is the bulk resistance of the N region, VTH is the turn-on voltage of the PN junction, and RP is the power generated by the bulk resistance of the P region. The heat is: Qu003dPt In the formula: t is the time when the diode is energized. In essence, the LED is still a semiconductor diode. Therefore, when the LED is working in the forward direction, its working process conforms to the above description. The electric power it consumes is: PLEDu003dULED×ILED In the formula: ULED is the forward voltage across the LED light source: ILED is the current flowing through the LED These consumed electric power is converted into heat and released: Qu003dPLED×t In the formula : t is the electrification time. In fact, the energy released by the electrons when they recombine with holes in the P region is not directly provided by the external power source, but because the electrons are in the N region and there is no external electric field, their energy level It is higher than the valence electron energy level of the P region by Eg. When it reaches the P region, it recombines with the hole and becomes the valence electron of the P region, it will release so much energy. The size of Eg is determined by the material itself and has nothing to do with the external electric field. The effect of the external power source on the electron is to push it to move in a directional manner and overcome the effect of the PN junction. The heat production of solar street light has nothing to do with light efficiency; there is no relationship between a few percent of the electric power to generate light, and the remaining few percent of the electric power to generate heat. Through the understanding of high-power LED heat generation, thermal resistance, and junction temperature concepts, the derivation of theoretical formulas, and thermal resistance measurement, we can study the actual packaging design, evaluation and product application of high-power LEDs. It should be noted that heat management is a key issue at the current stage when the luminous efficiency of LED products is not high. Fundamentally improving the luminous efficiency to reduce the generation of heat energy is the bottom line. This requires chip manufacturing, LED packaging and application product development. Technological progress in all aspects. [The above content is organized and released for you by solar street light manufacturers]
