Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LED filaments using a single type of LED die produce limited color spectra and poor color rendering parameters, making them inadequate for applications requiring accurate color reproduction, such as photography and art studios.

Innovation Solution

LED filaments are designed with multiple types of LED dies arranged in staggered or linear configurations, utilizing multiple die bonding processes to emit a wider range of colors and achieve full spectrum light output.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple types of LED dies (first plurality emitting in first wavelength range, second plurality emitting in second wavelength range) onto a single LED filament substrate. This merging of different light-emitting components on one substrate enables full spectrum light output with CRI≥95 while maintaining a unified device structure, resolving the contradiction between color rendering quality and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The LED filament is segmented into multiple functional zones with different types of LED dies arranged in staggered or linear patterns. Each segment emits specific wavelength ranges, and the segmented arrangement allows for optimized light output across the spectrum while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by preparing range files that define bonding parameters for different LED die types before the actual bonding process. The first range file defines parameters for bonding LED dies of the first type, and the second range file defines parameters for bonding LED dies of the second type. This pre-programming of bonding parameters enables automated multi-type die placement with controlled manufacturing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes in the die bonding process by adjusting bonding parameters (temperature, pressure, time) according to the specific type of LED die being bonded. The range files contain optimized parameter sets for different die types, allowing the manufacturing process to adapt parameters dynamically while maintaining ease of manufacture through automated control
