Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing wavelength conversion sheets experience peeling between the phosphor layer and the primer layer under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, leading to oxygen and water vapor invasion and degradation of the phosphor layer.
Innovation Solution
A wavelength conversion sheet with a phosphor layer and a film comprising a base material layer and a primer layer, where the primer layer contains an element X (sulfur or phosphorus) with a specific concentration ratio (C PR /C QD ≤ 0.10) and a coefficient of variation of 0.60 or more, ensuring excellent adhesion even after long-term exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a phosphor layer is laminated on a primer layer to improve adhesion, then close adhesion is enhanced, but peeling occurs under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the primer layer by controlling the content of specific elements (such as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen ratios) to optimize adhesion performance. This parameter optimization prevents peeling under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions while maintaining strong adhesion between the phosphor layer and primer layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite primer layer structure with specific elemental composition that combines multiple chemical components in optimized ratios. This composite material approach enhances both adhesion strength and resistance to humidity-induced peeling by synergistically combining the properties of different elemental components.
2Reliability
If a barrier film is added to prevent water vapor invasion, then phosphor layer protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the primer layer multi-functional by optimizing its chemical composition to simultaneously provide adhesion enhancement and water vapor barrier properties. This eliminates the need for a separate barrier film, maintaining phosphor layer protection while avoiding increased device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functions of the primer layer and barrier film into a single integrated primer layer structure. By combining adhesion and barrier functions in one layer with optimized elemental composition, the patent reduces structural complexity while maintaining reliable phosphor layer protection.

Implementation Method 1
The quantum dot can be adjusted over the entire visible region of the emission wavelength by the quantum confinement effect (quantum size effect), in which an electron or an exciton is confined in a nanometer-sized small crystal. The quantum dot can generate strong fluorescence in a narrow wavelength band
Implementation Method 2
a phosphor layer obtained by dispersing a nanometer-sized phosphor fine particle of a semiconductor in a resin layer
