Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices face challenges in optimizing light reflectance, leading to non-uniform brightness and luminance due to the inefficiencies in light distribution from the backlight unit, particularly with the use of LEDs and reflective sheets.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a reflecting sheet with a three-dimensional shape and strategically placed dots and non-dot areas, coupled with a COB light source, optimizes light reflection and distribution across the display panel, ensuring uniform light emission and reducing non-uniformity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a conventional reflective sheet is used in the backlight unit, then the light distribution is simple, but the light reflectance is insufficient and non-uniform brightness occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The reflective sheet is divided into multiple regions with different reflective properties. First reflective regions have a first reflective property while second reflective regions have a second reflective property different from the first. This local differentiation allows optimization of light reflection in different areas of the backlight unit, addressing non-uniform brightness by ensuring each region reflects light appropriately for its position and function.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflective sheet is segmented into multiple first reflective regions and second reflective regions distributed across its surface. This segmentation enables independent optimization of light reflection characteristics in different zones, allowing the design to achieve uniform overall light distribution while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular region definition.
2Use of energy by moving object
If LEDs are used as light sources with lenses, then energy efficiency is improved, but light distribution uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the reflective sheet are assigned different reflective properties to compensate for the directional light emission characteristics of LEDs. Areas receiving light from specific LED positions receive reflective regions with adjusted reflectivity or orientation characteristics, ensuring uniform overall light distribution across the display panel while maintaining LED energy efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The differentiated reflective sheet acts as an intermediary between the LED light sources and the display panel. By strategically positioning reflective regions with different properties, the sheet mediates the light distribution, transforming the non-uniform LED emission pattern into uniform illumination across the panel surface.
