Solution Overview

Problem

Current light emitting devices face challenges in achieving optimal chromaticity coordinate distribution for various applications, particularly in manufacturing high-resolution full color displays and as white light sources, where the brightness, luminous efficiency, and device lifetime are critical, and existing technologies struggle to adjust chromaticity effectively.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device is designed with a primer layer containing a metal material on a resin layer, allowing for adjustable chromaticity coordinate distribution by varying the thickness of the primer layer, which shifts the chromaticity coordinates of the emitted light to align with target regions, improving utilization yield.

Solution Approach 1:

The device is segmented into multiple functional layers: a light emitting diode layer for light generation, a resin layer for light transmission, and a primer layer containing metal materials for chromaticity adjustment. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each layer's function, enabling precise chromaticity control without complicating the overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The primer layer containing metal materials serves as an intermediary between the light emitting diode and the external environment. This intermediate layer modifies the chromaticity coordinates of emitted light by interacting with the light photons, enabling precise adjustment of color distribution without requiring changes to the light emitting diode itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The chromaticity coordinates are adjusted by changing a single parameter - the thickness of the primer layer containing metal materials. By controlling the primer layer thickness within a range of 1-10 micrometers, precise chromaticity adjustment is achieved. This parameter-based control simplifies the manufacturing process compared to modifying multiple structural parameters.
