Solution Overview

Problem

Quantum dot display technology, while offering high contrast and wide color gamut, emits harmful blue light components that can be detrimental to human eye health, necessitating a solution that balances display performance with eye protection.

Innovation Solution

A display panel with two types of blue pixels, each with distinct light transmission bands, allows switching between modes to either minimize blue light emission for eye protection or enhance color gamut, by adjusting and lighting different blue pixels based on the required mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If quantum dot blue light materials are used to achieve deep-blue light emission and wide color gamut, then display performance is improved, but harmful blue light components are emitted that can damage human eyes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor gamutVSAvoidharmful blue light
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The pixel structure is segmented into multiple sub-pixels including first blue pixels and second blue pixels with different light transmission characteristics. This segmentation allows the display to selectively activate different blue pixel types to balance color gamut and eye protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display dynamically adjusts which blue pixels are activated based on content requirements and eye protection needs. The system can switch between different blue pixel configurations to optimize both display performance and reduce harmful blue light exposure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If a single blue pixel type is used in the display panel, then the device structure is simple, but the display panel cannot simultaneously achieve wide color gamut and reduce harmful blue light exposure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel structureVSAvoiddisplay mode switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel incorporates multiple blue pixel types that can serve different functions - one type optimized for wide color gamut and another type optimized for reducing harmful blue light. This multi-functionality allows the same display to adapt to different viewing requirements without requiring separate display devices

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