Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Backlight modules with different color light beams having varying refractive indices result in color differences and chromaticity variations when viewed from different angles, reducing the performance of display devices.
Innovation Solution
An optical film made of quantum dot (QD) material filled with diffusion particles to uniformly distribute incident light towards different angles, with a multi-layer structure where the density of diffusion particles decreases from the bottom to the top of the light guide plate, and layers made of red and green light QD materials to manage color distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If light beams of different colors are emitted from the backlight module, then the display device achieves full-color display capability, but the color difference and chromaticity vary when viewed from different angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a multi-layer optical film structure where each layer has different properties. The first layer contains red quantum dots with specific refractive index, the second layer contains green quantum dots with different refractive index, and the third layer contains blue quantum dots. This local differentiation of material properties in each layer compensates for the viewing angle-dependent chromaticity variations, achieving consistent color appearance across different viewing angles while maintaining full-color display capability.
2Device complexity
If a single-layer optical film is used, then the device structure is simple, but the light distribution uniformity and viewing angle performance are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the optical film into multiple layers, each layer containing quantum dots of a specific color (red, green, blue) with tailored refractive indices. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each layer's optical properties to achieve uniform light distribution across different viewing angles. The multi-layer structure enables better control over light emission characteristics compared to a single-layer film, while maintaining reasonable device complexity through systematic design.
3Illumination intensity
If quantum dot material is used in the optical film, then the brightness and luminance are improved, but the refractive index differences cause color separation at different viewing angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter changes by carefully selecting and adjusting the refractive index of quantum dot materials in each layer. The first layer uses red quantum dots with a first refractive index, the second layer uses green quantum dots with a second refractive index, and the third layer uses blue quantum dots with a third refractive index. By changing and optimizing these refractive index parameters across layers, the patent achieves both high brightness from quantum dot luminescence and chromaticity consistency across viewing angles by compensating for the inherent refractive index differences.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an optical film configured on a top of a light guide plate. The optical film is made of quantum dot (QD) material, and the optical film is filled with a plurality of diffusion particles configured to uniformly distribute incident light toward different angles. As such, the backlight emitted from the backlight module may be uniform and may be emitted toward different angles, the color difference and the chromaticity of the display device from different viewing angles may be the same, and the performance of the display device may be improved.
