Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display substrates face challenges in achieving high color gamut and brightness due to the need for additional color filters to prevent excitation of fluorescent films by external blue light, which also reduces light efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A medium film laminated layer with alternating layers of different refractive indices is used to eliminate blue light in a specific wavelength range, preventing excitation of fluorescent films and reducing the need for color filters, while maintaining high color gamut and brightness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If additional color filters are used to prevent excitation of fluorescent films by external blue light, then color purity is improved, but light efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor purityVSAvoidlight efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the harmful blue light component (wavelength range 420-480nm) from external light before it reaches the fluorescent film, eliminating the need for additional color filters that would otherwise be required to maintain color purity, thus preserving light efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediate layer (blue light eliminating layer) between the external light source and the fluorescent film to selectively eliminate harmful blue light while allowing other wavelengths to pass through, achieving color purity without sacrificing overall light efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If additional color filters are used to eliminate blue light, then harmful effects are reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light excitationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the blue light elimination function with the existing encapsulation or protective layer structure of the display device, integrating multiple functions into a single layer rather than adding separate components, thus reducing device complexity while still eliminating harmful blue light

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The blue light eliminating layer is designed to serve multiple functions: it eliminates harmful blue light, protects the fluorescent film from excitation, and maintains optical transparency for other wavelengths, replacing what would otherwise require multiple separate components

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

AI summary

A display substrate, a manufacture method thereof and a display panel are provided. The display substrate includes: a first substrate (110); a plurality of pixel units included in the first substrate (110), each of the pixel units at least including a first sub-pixel unit, a second sub-pixel unit and a third sub-pixel unit; a medium film laminated layer (100) arranged on the first substrate (110), the medium film laminated layer at least covering the first sub-pixel unit and the second sub-pixel unit; the medium film laminated layer (100) is configured to eliminate blue light in a first wavelength range passing the medium film laminated layer (100), the medium film laminated layer (100) includes at least one first medium film layer (101) and at least one second medium film layer (102) which are laminated alternately, and a refractive index of the first medium film layer (101) is greater than a refractive index of the second medium film layer (102). By alternately arranging film layers of different refractive indices in the medium film laminated layer (100), blue light having or close to a first center wavelength range can be eliminated or weakened by interfering incident light, thereby eliminating or weakening the blue light passing the medium film laminated layer (100).
