Solution Overview

Problem

Current light emitting screens with laminated blue, green, and red light emitting layers suffer from inadequate color reproducibility and brightness due to excitation light transmission between layers, leading to inefficient light emission.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating selective reflection layers between the light emitting layers to reflect excitation light and prevent it from reaching adjacent layers, thereby enhancing light emission efficiency and brightness, and using quantum rods or dots in the layers to optimize emission spectra.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If excitation light is radiated to light emitting layers, then light emission is achieved, but excitation light transmits through layers causing color contamination and reduced brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidexcitation light transmission between layers
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A reflective layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the light emitting layers. This reflective layer intercepts and reflects excitation light that has transmitted through the blue light emitting layer, preventing it from reaching the green and red light emitting layers. By placing this intermediary layer at a strategic position, the harmful effect of excitation light transmission is eliminated while maintaining the light emission function of all layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The harmful effect of excitation light transmission is extracted and isolated by introducing a dedicated reflective layer. Instead of allowing the excitation light to naturally transmit through all layers and cause color contamination, the system explicitly separates the excitation light path from the emission light paths by extracting and redirecting the transmitted excitation light at the reflective layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple light emitting layers are laminated, then full color emission is achieved, but color reproducibility deteriorates due to excitation light affecting adjacent layers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefull color emissionVSAvoidcolor reproducibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The reflective layer serves as an intermediary that preserves the integrity of each light emitting layer's color emission. By reflecting excitation light before it reaches adjacent layers, the reflective layer ensures that each layer emits only its designated color without contamination from excitation of neighboring layers, thereby maintaining accurate color reproduction while preserving full color capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The reflective layer is positioned specifically between the blue and green light emitting layers, creating a localized solution to the color contamination problem. This local intervention ensures that the blue layer's excitation light does not contaminate the green and red layers, allowing each layer to maintain its specific color quality and emission characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If quantum rods or dots are used in light emitting layers, then emission spectrum is optimized, but manufacturing complexity increases

Solution Approach 1:

Quantum rods or dots are used to change the emission parameters of the light emitting layers. By utilizing the quantum confinement effect, these nanomaterials enable precise control over emission wavelengths through size and composition adjustments, allowing optimization of the emission spectrum while maintaining compatibility with standard manufacturing processes for displaying devices.
