Solution Overview

Problem

The existing phosphor plates, particularly those disclosed in Patent Document 1, face challenges in achieving optimal light emission intensity due to excessive light scattering.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating relatively transparent spinel into an inorganic base material in the phosphor plate, while using a phosphor containing a Si element, and controlling the peak intensity ratio in the X-ray diffraction pattern to improve light emission intensity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If spinel is contained in the inorganic base material to reduce light scattering, then light emission intensity is improved, but light scattering control becomes difficult when using Si element phosphor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission intensityVSAvoidlight scattering control
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the peak intensity ratio in the X-ray diffraction pattern (setting it to 0.2 or less) to regulate the amount of spinel in the base material. This quantitative control of material composition allows optimization of light transmission while maintaining the desired light emission intensity, resolving the contradiction between improving illumination and controlling light scattering.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If the peak intensity ratio of spinel is increased to improve light transmission, then light emission intensity improves, but light scattering increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission intensityVSAvoidlight scattering
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes by establishing a specific upper limit (0.2 or less) for the peak intensity ratio of spinel in the X-ray diffraction pattern. This quantitative parameter control ensures that the spinel content is optimized to provide sufficient light transmission while preventing excessive light scattering, thus resolving the contradiction between improving illumination intensity and reducing harmful light scattering.
