Solution Overview

Problem

Phosphorescent powder added to light-emitting diodes at inappropriate locations reduces maximum brightness when the power is turned on and affects the duration of light emission after power is turned off.

Innovation Solution

Optimizing the location of phosphorescent powder by separating it into two package parts within the light-emitting device, where the first part with phosphorescent powder is positioned below the reflective structure's top surface, preventing light attenuation and maximizing the ratio of phosphorescent to non-phosphorescent parts for extended emission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If phosphorescent powder is added to the package structure, then the light emission duration after power is turned off is extended, but the maximum brightness when power is turned on is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission durationVSAvoidmaximum brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The package structure is divided into two distinct parts: a first package part containing phosphorescent powder for extended emission, and a second package part without phosphorescent powder for maintaining maximum brightness. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally without interfering with the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the package structure are assigned different optical properties. The first package part has phosphorescent properties for sustained emission, while the second package part maintains high transparency for immediate bright light output. The interface between these parts is positioned below the top surface of the reflective structure to optimize light extraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Duration of action of moving object

If phosphorescent powder is added at inappropriate location, then the light emission duration is extended, but the maximum brightness is reduced due to light attenuation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission durationVSAvoidlight attenuation
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The package structure is divided into two distinct parts: a first package part containing phosphorescent powder for extended emission, and a second package part without phosphorescent powder for maintaining maximum brightness. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally without interfering with the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interface between the first and second package parts is positioned at a specific vertical level (below the top surface of the reflective structure) rather than uniformly distributing phosphorescent powder throughout. This dimensional positioning allows light to escape through the reflective structure's top surface before being attenuated by phosphorescent particles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
