Fluorinated Resin Composition for LED Encapsulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing encapsulating agents for light-emitting devices, such as those disclosed in Patent Literature 1, require additional encapsulating members for adequate encapsulation and heat resistance, reducing efficiency and necessitating further encapsulation steps.
Innovation Solution
A resin composition comprising polymers with specific structural units, including perfluoroalkyl groups and functional groups like carbonyl-containing, hydroxyl, epoxy, or cyano groups, which form a robust encapsulating member with high heat resistance and encapsulation performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fluorinated polymers are used as encapsulating agent, then resistance to short-wavelength light degradation is improved, but encapsulation performance is insufficient requiring additional encapsulating members
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining fluorinated polymer units (for UV resistance) with functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, epoxy, isocyanate, or cyano groups) in a single encapsulating resin composition. This composite approach maintains resistance to short-wavelength light degradation while achieving adequate encapsulation performance alone, eliminating the need for additional encapsulating members.
2Temperature
If additional encapsulating members are used to achieve high heat resistance, then heat resistance is improved, but production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions (UV resistance, heat resistance, and encapsulation performance) into a single resin composition. By incorporating functional groups with specific thermal properties alongside fluorinated polymer units, the composition achieves high heat resistance without requiring additional encapsulating members, thereby maintaining production efficiency.
3Ease of manufacture
If epoxy resins or silicone resins are used as encapsulating member, then ease of manufacture is improved, but resistance to short-wavelength light degradation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using fluorinated polymer units as the base, which inherently provide resistance to short-wavelength light degradation. The functional groups are selected to ensure ease of manufacture and encapsulation, thus achieving both ease of manufacture and resistance to degradation through compositional parameter optimization.
