Analysis and Simulation of Light Extraction of Light-Emitting Diodes:Simulation Efficiency

Two foundational factors (escape cone and transmissivity) about light extraction of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are discussed. According to these factors, a new process to simulate the light extraction of LEDs based on the Monte Carlo method has been provided. The improved method is to deal with the reflection and refraction of light (beam of light) at the interface between two mediums approximately. In addition, light extraction of traditional LEDs is simulated by different processes with the same structure and parameters. The results show that the reflection and refraction of light processed approximately are accurate enough for analyzing LEDs structure. This method saves much time and improves efficiency in the simulation of light extraction of LEDs.
