Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional light emitting diode packaging structures experience color temperature deviations between normal and lateral light emissions due to the positioning of fluorescent films, leading to uneven light emission and the blue-yellow ring defect, which is difficult to correct without complex optical redesign.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a white wall surrounding the peripheral side of the packaging layer in the light emitting diode package to reflect lateral light and prevent color temperature deviations, using materials like glass, quartz, or light reflection films, which can be adjusted with filling particles for optimal reflection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If fluorescent film is disposed on the blue light chip, then light transferring at different wavelength is achieved, but colour temperature deviation between normal and lateral light occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transferringVSAvoidcolour temperature uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

A white wall is introduced as an intermediary component between the light emitting diode and the surrounding environment. The white wall reflects lateral light back toward the light outlet face, mediating the light distribution to reduce colour temperature deviation between normal and lateral light without requiring changes to the fluorescent film or light chip configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The white wall is positioned specifically at the peripheral side of the light transferring layer where lateral light emerges. This localized intervention targets the specific region where colour temperature deviation occurs, reflecting only the lateral light that causes the blue-yellow ring defect while leaving the normal light path unchanged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If secondary optics design is used to correct the blue-yellow ring, then light emission uniformity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission uniformityVSAvoidoptical system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The white wall is a simple, inexpensive structural component that can be easily manufactured and integrated into the light emitting diode package. It replaces complex secondary optics with a straightforward reflective surface, significantly reducing device complexity while achieving the same light emission uniformity correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using complex optical elements to redirect light, the invention uses a simple reflective surface to bounce lateral light back toward the center. This inverted approach—using reflection rather than refraction or complex optical paths—achieves light uniformity with minimal complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Manufacturing precision

If white wall is added to surround the peripheral side, then colour temperature deviation is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolour temperature uniformityVSAvoidpackaging structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The white wall can be implemented as a thin film or coating applied to the peripheral side of the light transferring layer or packaging layer. This flexible implementation minimizes the added structural complexity while effectively reflecting lateral light and reducing colour temperature deviation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The white wall is integrated with the existing packaging layer or light transferring layer structure, merging the reflective function with the existing packaging components. This consolidation avoids adding separate complex structures while achieving the desired light reflection and colour temperature uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A light emitting diode (LED) package includes a light element, a light transferring layer disposed on the light element, a packaging layer enclosing the light transferring layer, a white wall surrounding the packaging layer and a diffusion film disposed on the packaging layer. The light transferring layer has a light outlet face, a light inlet face opposite to the light outlet face and a peripheral side. The light inlet face faces the light element. The white wall surrounds the peripheral side that is enclosed by the packaging layer.
