Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional light emitting devices face reliability issues due to low bonding force between silicone resin and fluorine-base resin layers, leading to delamination, especially in high temperature and humidity environments, which affects their structural integrity and luminous efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device design featuring a substrate, wall, light emitting chip, protection layer, and reflection layer, where the protection layer is selectively disposed on the light emitting surfaces and a gap is formed between the protection layer and the wall, ensuring a sufficient contact area between the reflection layer and the substrate to prevent delamination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If silicone resin is used to encapsulate the LED chip, then protection against water vapor and oxygen is improved, but bonding force with fluorine-base resin is insufficient leading to delamination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against water vapor and oxygenVSAvoidbonding force between layers
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

An adhesion promoter layer is introduced between the fluorine-base resin and silicone resin layers. This intermediary layer has specific chemical groups that form strong bonds with both adjacent layers, acting as a bridge to eliminate the delamination problem while maintaining the protective encapsulation function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite structure combining fluorine-base resin, adhesion promoter, and silicone resin layers. Each material contributes its specific properties: fluorine-base resin provides UV protection, adhesion promoter ensures strong bonding, and silicone resin provides environmental protection, creating a multi-functional composite encapsulation system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If protection layer is disposed directly on the light emitting chip, then coverage is improved, but delamination occurs due to insufficient bonding area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidpeeling strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The protection structure is segmented into multiple functional layers: fluorine-base resin layer for UV protection, adhesion promoter layer for bonding, and silicone resin layer for environmental protection. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function optimally without delamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesion promoter layer is applied preliminarily between the fluorine-base resin and silicone resin layers before final encapsulation. This preliminary action ensures strong bonding is established in advance, preventing delamination during subsequent processing and operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If encapsulation is applied to prevent oxidation, then material protection is improved, but delamination occurs in high temperature and humidity environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection from oxidationVSAvoidlayer structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesion promoter layer serves as a thermally stable intermediary that maintains strong bonding between the fluorine-base resin and silicone resin layers under high temperature and humidity conditions, preventing delamination while maintaining the oxidation protection function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical parameters of the encapsulation structure by introducing the adhesion promoter layer with specific functional groups. This parameter change enhances the chemical stability and thermal resistance of the layered structure, preventing delamination in harsh environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
