Solution Overview

Problem

The KSF phosphor used in COB type LED light sources is highly corrosive and unstable due to its reactivity with metal structures and water, leading to reduced luminous efficiency and stability.

Innovation Solution

A COB type photoelectric device design that includes a metallic substrate with a dam and KSF phosphor-based layer not in contact with the substrate, covered by an isolation layer, which enhances luminous efficiency while preventing corrosion and maintaining stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If KSF phosphor is added to COB type light source to improve luminous efficiency, then luminous efficiency is improved, but metal structures are corroded and stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoidstability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

An isolation layer is introduced as an intermediary between the KSF phosphor and the metal substrate/chip electrodes. This isolation layer prevents direct contact between the corrosive KSF phosphor and metal structures, eliminating the corrosion issue while preserving the high luminous efficiency of the KSF phosphor in the COB type light source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of energy

If KSF phosphor is used to enhance luminous efficiency, then luminous efficiency is improved, but KSF reacts with water and air causing decomposition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoidchemical stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The isolation layer serves as a protective barrier that prevents water and air from reaching the KSF phosphor. This intermediary layer maintains the chemical stability of the KSF phosphor by eliminating its exposure to reactive environments, while the phosphor continues to provide high luminous efficiency when excited.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of energy

If KSF phosphor is applied directly on metal substrate to improve luminous efficiency, then luminous efficiency is improved, but corrosion of metal substrate occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoidcorrosion
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The isolation layer is positioned between the KSF phosphor and the metal substrate to act as a protective intermediary. This layer prevents the corrosive KSF phosphor from directly contacting and corroding the metal substrate and chip electrodes, while still allowing the phosphor to function effectively for light emission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
