Innovation Solution

An LED light source design that incorporates a first light emitting chip capable of emitting blue and green light with high purity, combined with a second light emitting component to emit red light, forming white light, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving color gamut.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If three independent light emitting chips (blue, green, red) are used to mix white light, then the viewing distance adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing distance adaptabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the blue light emitting chip and green phosphor into a single integrated structure. The blue light chip serves dual purposes: directly emitting blue light and exciting green phosphor to emit green light. This merging reduces the number of separate components from three chips to two chips plus phosphor, thereby reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining the ability to produce all three primary colors (blue, green, red) for wide viewing distance adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If blue light emitting chip with green phosphor and red phosphor is used, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the NTSC color gamut coverage deteriorates due to impure green light emission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidNTSC color gamut coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different phosphor materials with specific characteristics in different locations. Specifically, green phosphor with narrow half-wave width (FWHM ≤ 50nm) is selected and positioned to receive blue light excitation, while red phosphor is positioned to receive green light excitation. This selective placement and material choice ensures that each phosphor contributes optimally to the overall color gamut, achieving pure green light emission and high NTSC color gamut coverage (≥90%) while maintaining cost effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If green phosphor with narrow half-wave width is used, then the NTSC color gamut coverage is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNTSC color gamut coverageVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves universality by designing a multi-functional blue light emitting chip that simultaneously performs three functions: (1) emits blue light directly for display, (2) excites green phosphor to produce green light, and (3) its emitted light serves as the excitation source for the phosphor layer. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate green light chips, reducing manufacturing complexity while achieving high NTSC color gamut coverage through the use of green phosphor with narrow half-wave width.

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