Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The reflection of wireless control signals at the interface between the base film and the light characteristics enhancing layer in electronic devices reduces the receive sensitivity of the signal-receiving member, limiting the operational range of remote-controlled electronic devices.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a light characteristics enhancing layer is formed on the base film to enhance light characteristics, then light diffusion and emission characteristics are improved, but wireless control signal reflection increases and receive sensitivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the refractive index parameter of the light characteristics enhancing layer to be lower than that of the base film. This parameter inversion prevents total internal reflection of wireless control signals at the interface, allowing signals to pass through to the signal-receiving member while still maintaining light diffusion characteristics for enhanced illumination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite structure consisting of a base film and a light characteristics enhancing layer with specifically selected materials having different refractive indices. The composite material design allows simultaneous achievement of light diffusion enhancement and wireless signal transmission by carefully selecting materials whose refractive index relationship prevents signal reflection.
2Illumination intensity
If the light characteristics enhancing member is made thicker to improve light diffusion, then light characteristics are enhanced, but wireless control signal transmission is blocked due to increased reflection
Solution Approach 1:
By changing the refractive index parameter relationship between layers (making the enhancing layer have a lower refractive index), the patent enables thicker light characteristics enhancing members to be used without blocking wireless signals. The refractive index inversion ensures that even with increased thickness, control signals can penetrate through the member to reach the receiver.

AI summary
An electronic device that includes a light-emitting board and a light characteristics enhancing member. The light-emitting board includes a driving substrate, a semiconductor device disposed on a first surface of the driving substrate, and a signal-receiving member receiving an external wireless control signal to control the semiconductor device. The light characteristics enhancing member includes a base film disposed over the light-emitting board, and a light characteristics enhancing layer formed on a lower surface of the base film, the lower surface facing the light-emitting board. A second refractive index of the light characteristics enhancing layer is greater than a first refractive index of the base film. Therefore, the receive sensitivity of the external wireless control signal is improved.
