Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for colorizing LED chips with high pixel density, such as ink jet printing, face limitations in printing accuracy and difficulty in coating quantum dots on small-sized pixels, preventing effective colorization.

Innovation Solution

A method involving an LED array substrate with a driving layer and LED chips, where light conversion blocks, including quantum dots, are fixed onto the LED chips using an adhesion layer, allowing for precise colorization by adhering a conversion plate with spaced quantum dots onto the LED chips and removing the substrate, enabling efficient colorization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If ink jet printing is used to colorize LED chips, then colorization can be achieved, but printing accuracy deteriorates and difficulty increases for high pixel density displays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolorization capabilityVSAvoidprinting accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a transfer substrate as an intermediary carrier. Quantum dots are first deposited onto this transfer substrate in a controlled manner, then transferred to the LED chip array. This intermediary step allows precise quantum dot placement without requiring direct high-precision printing on the final substrate, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If quantum dots are coated directly on small-sized pixels, then colorization can be achieved, but coating difficulty increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolorization capabilityVSAvoidcoating difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the colorization process into two independent stages: (1) quantum dot deposition on transfer substrate, and (2) transfer to LED chips. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized separately, reducing the complexity of coating small-sized pixels by performing the delicate operation on a more manageable transfer substrate first.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If higher pixel density is used, then display resolution is improved, but quantum dot placement accuracy becomes more difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidquantum dot placement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The transfer substrate serves as a mediator that decouples the high-resolution LED chip array from the quantum dot deposition process. Quantum dots can be placed with sufficient accuracy on the transfer substrate, then the entire array is transferred as a unit to the LED chips, maintaining placement accuracy even at higher pixel densities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
