Solution Overview

Problem

The existing quantum dot light-emitting devices face issues with high temperature failure due to non-uniform light irradiation, leading to the degradation of quantum dots when used in back-light modules, particularly when directly coated on a diaphragm or arranged above LED chips.

Innovation Solution

A quantum dot light-emitting device is designed with a quantum dot layer positioned on a pedestal with a gap from the light-emitting chip and reflection points distributed on its surface opposite to the chip, which reflect light to reduce high-intensity irradiation and ensure uniform light distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If quantum dots are coated on the entire diaphragm to achieve uniform light emission, then color gamut is improved, but quantum dot material consumption increases and cost rises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor gamutVSAvoidquantum dot material consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The diaphragm is segmented into multiple regions with different quantum dot coatings. The region directly facing the LED chip has no quantum dot coating, while other regions have quantum dot coating. This segmentation reduces quantum dot material consumption while maintaining color gamut performance through strategic placement of quantum dots in specific zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If quantum dots are arranged above LED chips as point light sources to save quantum dot material, then material consumption is reduced, but non-uniform light irradiation causes high temperature and quantum dot failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum dot material consumptionVSAvoidquantum dot stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the diaphragm have different properties: the region directly facing the LED chip has no quantum dot coating to avoid high temperature damage, while other regions have quantum dot coating for light conversion. This local differentiation ensures quantum dot reliability by protecting them from excessive heat while maintaining material efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Use of energy by moving object

If the quantum dot layer is positioned close to the light-emitting chip for efficient excitation, then light excitation efficiency is improved, but light power density becomes too high causing quantum dot degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight excitation efficiencyVSAvoidlight power density damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The quantum dot coating is extracted from the region directly facing the LED chip. By removing quantum dots from this specific high-intensity light zone, the patent eliminates the harmful effect of excessive light power density while maintaining excitation efficiency in other regions where quantum dots are strategically placed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
