Solution Overview

Problem

Inorganic light emitting elements face deterioration when excessively irradiated with laser light during the manufacturing process of inorganic light emitters, leading to reduced light emitting efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of inorganic light emitting elements by emitting laser light in an atmosphere with a higher oxygen concentration, which prevents impurities and stabilizes the structure, thereby preventing performance degradation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If laser light is emitted to separate the inorganic light emitting element from the substrate, then the light emitting element can be separated and transferred to the array substrate, but excessive irradiation with laser light causes deterioration of the light emitting element and reduces light emitting efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseparation and transfer processVSAvoidlight emitting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

An oxide layer is introduced as an intermediary between the laser light and the light emitting element. This oxide layer absorbs excess laser energy and prevents direct damage to the light emitting element during the separation process, thereby maintaining light emitting efficiency while enabling successful separation and transfer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The oxide layer is formed on the light emitting element before the laser separation process begins. This preliminary formation of the protective oxide layer ensures that when laser light is subsequently applied for separation, the element is already protected against excessive irradiation damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
