Solution Overview

Problem

Existing NB Mini LED LCDs experience blue light leakage at the peripheral bezel due to insufficient conversion of blue light into white light at the edges of the backlight module, leading to poor image quality.

Innovation Solution

A backlight module design featuring a colored light source plate, first and second color conversion layers, and optical processing layers, with a gradient distribution of the second color conversion layer density from the peripheral edge to the middle display region, converting monochromatic light into white light and scattering it uniformly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If a blue Mini LED is used as a backlight source, then the display can achieve high brightness and energy efficiency, but blue light leakage occurs at the peripheral bezel

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidblue light leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by placing a second color conversion layer specifically at the peripheral edge region of the first optical processing layer, where blue light leakage occurs. This localized conversion of blue light to other wavelengths (yellow, red, or green) addresses the harmful effect only where it occurs, without affecting the overall energy efficiency of the Mini LED backlight source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful blue light leakage into beneficial full-spectrum light by introducing a second color conversion layer that transforms the leaked blue light into yellow, red, or green light. This converts the harmful monochromatic blue light into useful complementary colors, improving overall light quality and reducing color bias at the periphery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the second color conversion layer is added to convert blue light, then blue light leakage is reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light leakageVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the color conversion function into two distinct layers: a first color conversion layer for primary color conversion and a second color conversion layer specifically for addressing blue light leakage at the periphery. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specialized function efficiently, reducing the need for complex adjustments in a single-layer system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent addresses the blue light leakage problem by adding a spatial dimension to the color conversion approach. The second color conversion layer is positioned at the peripheral edge region of the first optical processing layer, creating a zone-based solution that targets the specific location where blue light leakage occurs, rather than uniformly treating the entire backlight area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of manufacture

If uniform color conversion is applied across the entire backlight, then manufacturing is simplified, but blue light leakage at edges remains unaddressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidblue light leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by configuring the second color conversion layer to be present only at the peripheral edge region of the first optical processing layer, with gradual reduction in density toward the middle display region. This localized approach targets blue light leakage specifically at the edges while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through controlled material distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by varying the density of the second color conversion layer across different regions. The density gradually reduces from the peripheral edge region toward the middle display region, creating an optimized distribution that addresses blue light leakage where it occurs while minimizing unnecessary material in regions where it is not needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
