Solution Overview

Problem

Edge-lit backlight modules in liquid crystal display devices suffer from blue coloring on the edges due to excessive light emission, which affects color uniformity.

Innovation Solution

A reflection film with a yellow film component is integrated around the main body, positioned on the bottom surface of the light guide plate, to absorb refracted blue light, reducing edge light emission and enhancing color uniformity. The yellow film is strategically arranged with varying block sizes and densities to optimize absorption without affecting quantum dot excitation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If edge-lit backlight module is used to reduce weight and achieve fashionable design, then weight and aesthetics are improved, but blue coloring appears on edges due to excessive light emission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacklight module weightVSAvoidblue coloring on edges
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The reflection film is designed with spatially varying properties: the first region (near edge-lit light source) has width 0-50mm, the second region (opposite to light source) has width 0-30mm, and the third and fourth regions (connecting first and second regions) have widths 0-20mm. This non-uniform structure creates different optical characteristics in different areas to suppress edge blue coloring while maintaining overall display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The reflection film comprises multiple layers including a first reflection layer, second reflection layer, and third reflection layer with different reflective properties. This composite structure enables selective reflection and absorption of blue light wavelengths, effectively reducing edge blue coloring while maintaining other display performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If reflection film is added to suppress edge blue coloring, then color uniformity is improved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor uniformityVSAvoidbacklight module structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reflection film integrates multiple functional layers (first reflection layer, second reflection layer, third reflection layer) into a single composite component that performs both blue light suppression and general light reflection functions, reducing the need for separate components and simplifying overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The reflection film serves multiple functions simultaneously: it suppresses edge blue coloring, reflects useful light back into the light guide plate, and maintains color uniformity across the display. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
