Problem

Conventional display technologies using quantum dots suffer from low light conversion efficiency, low brightness, and high power consumption due to limitations in the use of blue light backlights and quantum dot combinations.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design incorporating a light-emitting base substrate and a color conversion substrate with quantum dots dispersed in a matrix material, where the matrix material excites a second light under irradiation of the first light, enhancing the emission efficiency of quantum dots and improving luminous efficiency by over 25% compared to pure quantum dot thin films.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If blue light backlight and quantum dots are combined, then color gamut is improved, but light conversion efficiency of quantum dot deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a matrix material as an intermediary between the blue light backlight and the quantum dots. The matrix material absorbs blue light and re-emits it at wavelengths that more effectively excite the quantum dots, thereby improving light conversion efficiency while maintaining the color gamut benefits of the quantum dot combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the optical parameters of the system by introducing a matrix material with specific optical properties that can convert blue light wavelengths into a spectrum better suited for quantum dot excitation. This parameter change optimizes the energy transfer efficiency from the backlight to the quantum dots.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite material system consisting of quantum dots dispersed within a matrix material. This composite structure improves brightness by enhancing light conversion efficiency while maintaining relatively simple device architecture, as the quantum dots and matrix material are integrated at the material level rather than requiring separate structural components.

Inventive Principle:
