Solution Overview

Problem

Current color filters for liquid crystal and organic light-emitting displays face challenges in achieving high luminance with excellent heat and light resistance, as existing resin compositions either lack sufficient resistance or result in poor performance due to issues with pigment or dye-based materials.

Innovation Solution

A color material dispersion liquid containing a specific cation and polyoxometalate anion, where molybdenum and tungsten are present in a polyoxometalate anion with a controlled molar ratio, is used to form a coating film with high luminance, heat resistance, and light resistance, utilizing a polymer dispersant and ester solvent for improved stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If dyes are used as color material to achieve high luminance, then luminance is improved, but heat resistance and light resistance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidheat resistance and light resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses a composite color material comprising both a dye component and a pigment component. The dye provides high luminance while the pigment provides heat and light resistance. This composite approach allows the color filter to achieve high luminance (from the dye) while maintaining excellent heat and light resistance (from the pigment), thereby resolving the contradiction between luminance and reliability.

Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If pigments are used as color material to improve heat resistance, then heat resistance is improved, but luminance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat resistanceVSAvoidluminance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention employs a composite color material system where pigment and dye are combined in specific proportions. The pigment component ensures heat resistance and light resistance, while the dye component contributes high luminance. By optimizing the composition ratio, the invention achieves both high heat resistance (from pigment) and high luminance (from dye), resolving the contradiction between reliability and illumination intensity.

Principle #40Composite materials

3Stability of the object's composition

If polysiloxane dye is used to achieve cross-linking, then structural stability is improved, but solubility and dispersion stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidsolubility and dispersion stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the essential function of cross-linking stability from the polysiloxane dye while eliminating its harmful effects on solubility and dispersion. Instead of using polysiloxane dye, the invention employs a composite system where the pigment component provides structural stability and the dye component maintains solubility and dispersion stability. This separation of functions resolves the contradiction between structural stability and ease of operation.
