本研究結合螢光粉遠端塗佈技術與氧化鋅奈米柱陣列結構於白光發光二極體上，實驗中在氮化鎵藍光發光二極體上方以水熱法成長氧化奈米柱陣列，分別覆蓋上矽膠與螢光粉，並藉此改善白光發光二極體的色彩分佈之均勻度、白光轉換效率與元件光輸出功率。此外，元件發光之光場分佈因氧化鋅奈米柱結構之光導向，而有朝垂直元件頂部方向增強的情形。藉由積分球光功率量測系統分析元件的電激發光強度，發光二極體藍光(450 nm)與螢光粉黃光波段(520~600 nm)的發光強度，也因氧化鋅奈米柱結構成長而同時增強。而元件發光之CIE色度座標位於(0.328, 0.335)，接近純白光(0.33, 0.33)之位置。另一方面，當同樣使用遠端螢光粉塗佈LED元件操作20毫安培下，具奈米柱結構之白光發光二極體比起未成長奈米柱的白光發光二極體，其螢光粉轉換效率改善了4.5%，而當光輸出功率也增強了9.2%。

In this work, both the remote phosphor coating technique and the zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanorod array were simultaneously used to improve the color uniform distribution, converted efficiency and the light extraction efficiency of white LEDs. Moreover, light output could be enhanced in the vertical direction by the light guidance of the ZnO nanorod array. In the electroluminescence (EL) light measurement, the emission peak of LEDs at 450 nm and the emission band of phosphor at 520~600 nm could be enhanced at the same time. Therefore, the CIE chromaticity coordinate located at (0.328, 0.335), which closed to the pure white light (0.33, 0.33), was obtained. Moreover, the white LED with nanorod array was a 4.5% improvement in phosphor efficiency compared with the remote phosphor coating white LEDs without nanorod, and the light output power was increased 9.2% at 20 mA as well.
