Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a conventional display panel structure is used, then red and green light luminance remains stable, but blue light suffers from significant luminance decay at large viewing angles due to the micro-cavity effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light luminance stabilityVSAvoidviewing angle performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a light adjustment layer as an intermediary component between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer. This layer contains blue dye molecules and hollow particles that work together to compensate for the micro-cavity effect specifically affecting blue light, thereby improving blue light luminance stability at large viewing angles without affecting the overall display performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the optical parameters of the display panel by incorporating a light adjustment layer with specific optical properties. The layer contains blue dye molecules with specific absorption characteristics and hollow particles with controlled size distribution (average diameter 10-200 nm), which together alter the optical path and compensate for the micro-cavity effect in the blue wavelength range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If a light adjustment layer with dye molecules and hollow particles is added, then color uniformity and luminance stability are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor uniformityVSAvoidlayer structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional components into a single integrated light adjustment layer. The blue dye molecules and hollow particles are incorporated together in the same layer, which is positioned between the color conversion layer and the color filter layer. This merging approach achieves color uniformity improvement while minimizing the increase in device complexity by consolidating multiple functions into one layer rather than adding separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The light adjustment layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it contains blue dye molecules that absorb excess blue light to compensate for micro-cavity effect, incorporates hollow particles that scatter and diffuse light to improve viewing angle performance, and maintains compatibility with the existing color filter and color conversion layers. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
