Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting devices suffer from color distortion due to light emission angles and false excitation of non-corresponding color processing parts, leading to inaccurate color development and display effects.

Innovation Solution

A full-color light emitting device is designed with a light emitting layer, refractive layer, spacer layer, and light processing layer, where the refractive layer has a higher refractive index than the spacer layer, and a baffle wall is used between adjacent light processing parts to prevent optical crosstalk, along with an isolation layer to absorb stray light, ensuring accurate color development and high resolution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If light emitting diodes with certain light emission angle are used, then the light rays can cover the color processing part, but light rays larger than a certain angle will excite non-corresponding color processing parts causing color distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission coverageVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into three independent light emitting units, each with its own color processing part. The light emitting layer includes first, second, and third light emitting parts that emit different wavelengths, with each having a corresponding color processing part directly above it. This segmentation prevents cross-excitation between adjacent units while maintaining comprehensive light coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each light emitting unit is designed with localized optical properties. The color processing part is positioned directly above the corresponding light emitting part, creating a localized optical path. This ensures that light rays from each emitting part primarily interact with its corresponding color processing part, reducing cross-contamination while maintaining effective illumination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Use of energy by moving object

If long-wavelength fluorescent material is used, then it can absorb light rays excited by short-wavelength fluorescent material, but this causes false excitation and color distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight absorption efficiencyVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The light emitting layer is segmented into three distinct parts emitting different wavelengths (first, second, and third light emitting parts), each with its own dedicated color processing part. This spatial segmentation prevents long-wavelength materials from absorbing short-wavelength light, eliminating false excitation while maintaining efficient energy conversion in each unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A refractive layer with higher refractive index than the spacer layer is introduced as an intermediary between the light emitting layer and the color processing part. This refractive layer controls light propagation paths, ensuring that light rays from each emitting part are directed to its corresponding color processing part while preventing cross-excitation between adjacent units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If color processing part is disposed directly above light emitting diodes, then the structure is compact, but light rays may excite adjacent color processing parts causing color distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The device maintains a compact structure by disposing each color processing part directly above its corresponding light emitting part in three separate, segmented units. This segmentation approach preserves structural simplicity while preventing cross-excitation, as each unit operates independently with its own light emitting and color processing components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The refractive layer serves as an intermediary between the light emitting layer and the color processing part, enabling direct disposal while controlling light paths. This intermediary layer ensures that light rays are properly directed to the corresponding color processing part without exciting adjacent parts, maintaining both structural compactness and color accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
