  • Abstract
    Although critical to the lifetime of LED, the junction temperature of LED cannot be measured easily. From the general photo-electro-thermal theory for LED systems, new equations for estimating the internal junction temperature Tj and junction-case thermal resistance Rjc of LED from the luminous flux measurements, which can be obtained relatively easily, are presented and verified practically. These equations provide a valuable tool for checking Tj in LED system design without expensive equipment.
