Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If micro LEDs are used in display apparatus, then high resolution and small pixel size are achieved, but wavelength deviation of emitted light increases
Solution Approach 1:
A wavelength adjustment layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the micro LED and the observer. This layer contains phosphors or fluorescent materials that absorb the broad-spectrum light from the micro LED and re-emit light at a more specific wavelength, thereby reducing wavelength deviation while maintaining the small pixel size advantage of micro LEDs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the optical parameters of the display system by changing the wavelength characteristics of emitted light through the wavelength adjustment layer. By controlling the phosphor composition, particle size distribution, and layer thickness, the system transforms the broad wavelength spectrum from micro LEDs into a narrower, more controlled wavelength range
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple micro LEDs are arranged in pixels, then high resolution display is achieved, but color uniformity across pixels deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The wavelength adjustment layer is configured with spatially varying properties to compensate for local variations in micro LED characteristics. Different regions of the layer contain phosphors with different emission characteristics or varying concentrations, tailored to correct the specific wavelength deviations of micro LEDs in different locations, thereby achieving uniform color output across all pixels
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes at the local level by varying the phosphor composition, particle size, or layer thickness in different regions of the wavelength adjustment layer. This localized parameter adjustment compensates for manufacturing variations in individual micro LEDs, ensuring consistent color output across the entire display

Implementation Method 1
Each of the plurality of pixels may include a micro light emitting diode and a wavelength conversion layer disposed on the micro light emitting diode. The wavelength conversion layer may convert light having a first wavelength emitted from the micro light emitting diode to light having a second wavelength
Implementation Method 2
A filter layer may be disposed on the wavelength conversion layer. The filter layer may have a characteristic of blocking light having a third wavelength and transmitting light having a fourth wavelength
