Solution Overview

Problem

The brightness attenuation and reduced light-emitting efficiency of blue pixels in OLED display panels due to the use of white light-emitting layers for all color filters, leading to insufficient product performance.

Innovation Solution

Employing a blue light-emitting layer for the blue color filter region and a white light-emitting layer for the red and green color filter regions, while maintaining the same brightness levels, thereby increasing the light-emitting efficiency and prolonging the lifespan of the display panel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a white light-emitting layer is used for all color filters (red, green, and blue), then the manufacturing process is simple and the structure is uniform, but the blue pixel brightness attenuates severely and the light-emitting efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidblue pixel brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the light-emitting layer composition for different color regions. Specifically, the blue color filter region uses a blue light-emitting layer with blue light-emitting material, while the red and green color filter regions use a white light-emitting layer with white light-emitting material. This localized differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing blue pixel brightness where needed while maintaining manufacturing simplicity for the majority regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If a white light-emitting layer is used for all color filters, then the device structure is simplified, but the lifespan of the display device is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoiddisplay device lifespan
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by applying different light-emitting layer configurations to different color filter regions. The blue color filter region is equipped with a blue light-emitting layer that emits blue light directly, avoiding the need for blue color filter transmission and thereby extending the display device lifespan. The red and green regions continue to use the simpler white light-emitting layer approach, maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If a white light-emitting layer is used for all color filters, then the overall brightness can be maintained, but the light-emitting efficiency of the display device is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall brightnessVSAvoidlight-emitting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by optimizing the light-emitting layer for the blue color filter region with a blue light-emitting layer that directly emits blue light. This eliminates the energy loss associated with using a white light-emitting layer and blue color filter combination, thereby improving light-emitting efficiency for blue pixels while maintaining overall display brightness through the white light-emitting layer in red and green regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
