Next-Generation Phosphor Solution for High-Power LEDs

Solid-State Phosphor Encapsulation for Harsh Environments

YEKGLASS PiG (Phosphor in Glass) is specifically designed for high-power LED applications where long-term color stability and thermal reliability are critical.
Available in custom chip sizes and phosphor compositions, manufactured with low-temperature glass to protect heat-sensitive phosphors during sintering.
As a high-durability LED phosphor encapsulant, YEKGLASS PiG replaces conventional silicone-based materials in demanding lighting applications.

Why Replace Phosphor in Silicone with PiG

Glass-Based Stability for Long-Term Performance

PiG is a solid-state phosphor solution that solves the reliability issues commonly found in silicone binders.
While PiS materials degrade under high temperatures and humidity, PiG maintains its structural and optical integrity over time.
As a solid-state wavelength converter, PiG offers superior resistance to thermal quenching and color shift over the product lifetime.

Heat Resistance Low High (Over 400 °C)
Moisture Resistance Poor Excellent
Durability Weak over time Long-Term Stable
Luminous Stability Degrades with current Maintains peak output
Suitable for Low-power LEDs High power, Automotive, Industrial LEDs

Red Phosphor Compatibility

Thermal-Safe Red PiG with Custom Low-Temperature Glass

Red phosphors like CaAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ are highly sensitive to heat and easily degrade in traditional sintering environments.
YEKGLASS solves this challenge by using specially formulated Low Melting Glass, which enables PiG sintering at just 250–350 °C.

Refractive Index
Thermal profile

High transmittance and refractive index in the blue-violet region enhances LED photoluminescence efficiency.

Transmittance

YEK Glass’s low-melting glass material is engineered for optimal optical performance.
This ensures strong photoluminescence and allows safe sintering of heat-sensitive red phosphors without degradation.

Refractive Index

Thermal stability and low glass transition enable sintering at reduced temperatures.
