Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Direct type backlights face limitations in flexibility due to the required distance between light emitting units and the light guide plate, which restricts the ability to adjust the backlight structure and increases thickness.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a Quantum Dot (QD) layer on the light guide plate, where QD blocks are arranged in cavities and overlapped with light emitting units, allowing light to be uniformly scattered without the need for a specific distance between the units and the plate, and using reflectors and optical film layers to enhance light uniformity and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a certain distance is maintained between light emitting units and the light guide plate to ensure light uniformity, then the optical quality is improved, but the backlight structure flexibility is reduced and thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
A wavelength conversion member is introduced as an intermediary component between the light emitting units and the light guide plate. This member includes multiple wavelength conversion layers that convert light from different wavelengths, enabling light uniformity to be achieved without requiring a specific distance between the light emitting units and the light guide plate, thus resolving the contradiction between optical quality and structural flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The wavelength conversion member is constructed as a composite structure with multiple wavelength conversion layers, each layer containing different wavelength conversion particles. This composite material approach allows for optimized light conversion efficiency and uniformity while maintaining a compact structure that does not require additional spacing
2Illumination intensity
If a certain distance is maintained between light emitting units and the light guide plate to ensure light uniformity, then the optical quality is improved, but the overall thickness of the backlight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wavelength conversion member serves as a compact intermediary that achieves light uniformity conversion in a thin profile. By using multiple wavelength conversion layers with different particle types, the system achieves optimal light uniformity without requiring the light emitting units to be positioned at a distance from the light guide plate, thereby reducing overall backlight thickness
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the optical parameters by using wavelength conversion layers with different conversion efficiencies and spectral characteristics. This allows the system to achieve light uniformity through wavelength transformation rather than through spatial separation, effectively reducing the thickness parameter while maintaining optical quality
