The scattering effect plays an important role in improving the optical performance of the quantum dot (QD) white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A majority of the previous studies have focused on the planar packaging structure only with respect to total internal reflection (TIR). In this study, SiO2 nanoparticles are incorporated into QD-silicone encapsulation of LEDs with semi-spherical lens packaging (SSLP) to exploit their scattering effect. The results show that the radiant efficacy (31.35%@100 mA) and luminous efficacy (87.56 lm/W@100 mA) of QD white LEDs can be optimized using SiO2 nanoparticle concentration (0.1 wt%) and that they increase by 5.04% and 11.08%, respectively, as compared to the conventional structure. A comprehensive ray-tracing simulation validates that the nanoparticles in the SSLP structure lead to severe loss of chip light. On the contrary, the fluorescence light increases due to the enhancement of conversion by QDs. The transmission electron microscopy images and the finite-difference time-domain simulation have been introduced to investigate the surface adsorption of SiO2 nanoparticle. This study indicates that SiO2 incorporation is an effective method to improve the efficiency of QD white LEDs, and provides a better understanding on the scattering effect based on TIR, color conversion, and surface adsorption.
