Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional light-emitting device packages are limited in expressing various color spaces due to their inability to emit light with multiple visible light wavelength spectra, restricting them to expressing only one color space.

Innovation Solution

A light-emitting device package is designed with a lead frame mounting multiple light-emitting devices configured to emit different wavelengths of the same color light, along with phosphors that emit light of a different color, allowing for the expression of multiple color spaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional light-emitting device package uses a single phosphor material, then the device structure remains simple, but the device can only express one color space with a single visible light wavelength spectrum

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor space expression capabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple light-emitting devices (first light-emitting device emitting blue light, second light-emitting device emitting green light) within a single package along with multiple phosphor materials (yellow phosphor, red phosphor) to create a unified structure that can express multiple color spaces (Rec. 709 and DCI-P3), thereby achieving versatility without proportionally increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The light-emitting device package is designed with multi-functional capability to express different color spaces by selectively activating different combinations of light-emitting devices and phosphors. The same physical package can switch between Rec. 709 color space (using blue LED + yellow phosphor) and DCI-P3 color space (using blue LED + green LED + yellow phosphor + red phosphor), making it universally applicable for various display requirements

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple light-emitting devices and phosphors are integrated in one package to express various color spaces, then color expression capability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor space selection capabilityVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the light-emitting device package into distinct functional modules: a first light-emitting device (blue LED), a second light-emitting device (green LED), a yellow phosphor layer, and a red phosphor layer. Each component has a specific function, and they can be selectively activated to produce different color spaces, making the complex system manageable and controllable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a temporal dimension to color space expression by enabling dynamic switching between different color spaces through selective activation of light-emitting devices and phosphors over time. This allows the same physical structure to provide multiple color space options (Rec. 709, DCI-P3, or intermediate color spaces) based on display content requirements, effectively resolving the complexity issue through intelligent control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
