Quantum Dot Pixel Definition Sides for Display Panel Light Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Quantum dot organic light-emitting diodes (QD-OLEDs) suffer from reduced luminous efficiency due to ineffective utilization of light transmitted towards both sides of the display panel.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a quantum dot material on the sides of pixel definition portions in a display panel, where the quantum dot material is illuminated under excitation of light, and using a combination of host and doping materials, including yellow, green, and red quantum dot materials, along with optical and color filter layers to enhance light emission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a thin film stack structure with quantum dot film is used, then color gamut and contrast are improved, but luminous efficiency deteriorates due to light loss toward both sides
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful light loss toward both sides of the display panel into a beneficial effect by placing quantum dot materials on the pixel definition portions. These quantum dot materials convert the otherwise wasted light into useful colored light that contributes to the display output, thereby improving luminous efficiency while maintaining the wide color gamut advantage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies quantum dot materials specifically on the pixel definition portions rather than uniformly across the entire panel. This localized application targets the specific areas where light is lost, converting the wasted light into useful emission only where needed, thus improving overall luminous efficiency without compromising the color performance of the main light-emitting areas.
2Illumination intensity
If quantum dot material is added to pixel definition portions, then luminous intensity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pixel definition portions with quantum dot functional layers by integrating the quantum dot materials directly onto the pixel definition portions during the manufacturing process. This combination eliminates the need for separate quantum dot layers and simplifies the overall structure while achieving the dual function of light emission and light management.
Solution Approach 2:
The pixel definition portions serve multiple functions: they define the pixel boundaries, manage light direction, and now also contain quantum dot materials for light conversion. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby improving luminous intensity without proportionally increasing device complexity.
