Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices using LED and QD structures suffer from light mixing between pixels, resulting in poor display effects due to the stimulation of red and green photoluminescence QD materials by blue light from LEDs.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design featuring a metal bank with multiple openings, each equipped with a light conversion layer, positioned between substrates, where light emitting elements are placed between the light conversion layers and the second substrate, effectively blocking light from adjacent openings to prevent mixing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If light emitting elements are arranged closely to increase display resolution, then display quality improves, but light mixing between adjacent pixels occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidlight mixing
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display structure into separate pixel units using metal banks as partitions. Each pixel is enclosed within a metal bank structure, physically segmenting the light paths of adjacent pixels. This segmentation prevents light from one pixel from mixing with adjacent pixels, thereby maintaining high display resolution without suffering from light mixing issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces metal banks as intermediary structures between adjacent light emitting elements. These metal banks act as light-blocking mediators that prevent direct light interaction between neighboring pixels. The metal banks with openings serve as controlled intermediaries that allow necessary light passage while blocking unwanted light mixing, thus resolving the contradiction between high resolution and light mixing prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If metal banks with openings are used to block light between pixels, then light mixing is prevented, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight mixing preventionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The metal banks in the patent serve multiple functions simultaneously: they act as light-blocking structures to prevent light mixing, provide structural support for the display panel, and define the boundaries of individual pixels. By making the metal banks multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby managing manufacturing complexity while achieving effective light mixing prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing openings in the metal banks at specific locations where light emission is required, while maintaining solid metal structures in areas where light blocking is needed. This localized differentiation allows the metal bank structure to achieve both light blocking and light transmission functions without requiring completely complex designs throughout the entire structure, thus managing manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A display panel and a method for manufacturing the display panel, and a display device are provided. The display panel includes: a first substrate and a second substrate which are arranged opposite to each other; a metal bank located between the first substrate and the second substrate, where the metal bank includes multiple openings, and at least some of the openings are each provided with a light conversion layer; and light emitting elements located between the light conversion layers and the second substrate. When the light conversion layer converts the light emitted from the light emitting element into the light with the corresponding color, the light from the adjacent openings is blocked by the metal bank, and to avoid light mixing in the adjacent openings, to improve the display effect of the display device.
