Micro LED Unit Pixel Substrate Pattern for Uniform Viewing Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional micro LED displays face challenges in achieving uniform viewing angles for light emitted from sub-pixels, leading to color variations when viewed from different angles due to differing viewing angles of red, green, and blue light, which affects the quality of displayed images.
Innovation Solution
A unit pixel design featuring a transparent substrate with a concavo-convex pattern on its surface, where light emitting devices are arranged with an optical layer to transmit light and enhance viewing angles, ensuring uniform light emission across different angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional micro LED displays are used without a concavo-convex pattern, then the structure is simple and manufacturing is easier, but the viewing angles of light emitted from sub-pixels are non-uniform, causing color variations when viewed from different angles
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent substrate is designed with a concavo-convex pattern featuring curved surfaces instead of a flat surface. The convex portions protrude toward the light emitting devices while concave portions recess between them, creating curvature that redirects light emission angles. This curvature modifies the optical path of light from sub-pixels, achieving uniform viewing angles across different colors without requiring complex additional optical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The concavo-convex pattern creates local variations in the substrate surface where convex portions are positioned to correspond with specific sub-pixel locations. Each convex portion locally modifies the light emission characteristics of its corresponding sub-pixel, enabling precise control over viewing angles for red, green, and blue sub-pixels individually, thereby achieving uniform color representation across different viewing angles.
2Reliability
If light emitting devices are arranged on a flat transparent substrate, then the device structure is simpler, but color variations occur when viewed from different angles due to non-uniform viewing angles of red, green, and blue light
Solution Approach 1:
The concavo-convex pattern introduces curvature to the transparent substrate surface, where convex portions redirect light from different sub-pixels to achieve uniform emission angles. This curvature-based optical control ensures that red, green, and blue light maintain consistent viewing angles, eliminating color variations when viewed from different angles without adding complex optical layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The concavo-convex pattern on the transparent substrate acts as an intermediary optical element between the light emitting devices and the viewer. This patterned substrate surface mediates the light emission by redirecting rays from sub-pixels, ensuring uniform viewing angles for all colors while maintaining the simplicity of the overall device structure.
