Solution Overview

Problem

Current color conversion films in liquid crystal display devices lack excellent solvent resistance and light resistance, which are essential for maintaining performance over time.

Innovation Solution

A composition for a color conversion film incorporating an organic light-emitting material that emits light with a peak wavelength of 500 nm to 580 nm or 580 nm to 750 nm, combined with a thermocurable or photocurable compound, and a polymerization initiator, forming a crosslinking structure for enhanced durability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional color conversion film is used, then the display device can be manufactured, but the solvent resistance and light resistance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses composite materials by combining organic light-emitting materials with specific binder resins (acrylic resin, styrene resin, or polyvinyl chloride resin) in defined weight ratios. This composite structure provides both the required optical conversion function and improved solvent/light resistance without requiring entirely new manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent improves solvent and light resistance by changing the chemical composition parameters of the color conversion film - specifically by controlling the types and ratios of binder resins used. This allows maintaining conventional manufacturing methods while achieving enhanced durability through material parameter optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the color conversion film uses organic light-emitting materials with specific binder resins, then the solvent resistance improves, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolvent resistanceVSAvoidbinder resin ratio control
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies precise parameter ranges for binder resin composition (acrylic resin 30-70 wt%, styrene resin 10-40 wt%, polyvinyl chloride resin 5-20 wt%) to achieve optimal solvent resistance. These defined parameter ranges balance performance requirements with manufacturing feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different binder resin compositions to different functional requirements within the color conversion film, optimizing the resin blend for both solvent resistance and manufacturing processability in specific regions or layers of the film structure.
