Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices with LED package modules have narrow beam angles, making it difficult to reduce the number of LED packages without decreasing luminance, which limits price competitiveness and increases the light-incident bezel area due to overlapping light from adjacent packages.

Innovation Solution

The LED package module is designed with LED packages oriented in intersecting directions on the substrate, providing a wide beam angle of 125 to 130 degrees, allowing for reduced package numbers while maintaining luminance through increased emission efficiency in the lateral direction, and employing a milky buffer pad for optimal absorption and reflection to overcome light bouncing defects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If LED packages are arranged with narrow beam angles, then the light distribution is concentrated, but the number of LED packages must be increased to maintain luminance, increasing device complexity and cost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidnumber of LED packages
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the beam angle parameter from narrow to wide (125-130 degrees) by modifying the LED package structure, specifically by removing side walls of the mold frame to enable light emission in multiple directions. This parameter change allows fewer LED packages to achieve the required luminance, resolving the contradiction between illumination intensity and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from unidirectional light emission (narrow beam angle) to multidirectional light emission (wide beam angle) by opening the mold frame structure. This dimensional change in light emission pattern allows adjacent LED packages to share light emission areas, reducing the total number of packages needed while maintaining luminance
