Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for enhancing the color gamut of display devices, such as changing LED types or adjusting color film thickness, are time-consuming and costly, hindering rapid and efficient product marketing.

Innovation Solution

A backlight module incorporating a quantum film between a light source and a light guide plate, where the quantum film is excited by monochromatic or polychromatic light to emit secondary red and green light, increasing the color gamut by altering the light composition ratio, similar to high-color-gamut LEDs with RG phosphors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If LED type is changed or color film thickness is adjusted to improve color gamut, then color gamut is improved, but development time and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor gamutVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the optical parameters of the backlight module by introducing a quantum film that converts the spectrum characteristics. Instead of changing LED types or adjusting color film thickness, the invention uses quantum dots to convert blue light to red and green light, achieving desired color gamut through parameter transformation rather than component replacement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The quantum film acts as an intermediary substance between the blue LED light source and the display panel. It mediates the light conversion process by absorbing blue light and emitting red and green light, enabling high color gamut without directly modifying the LED or color film layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If high color gamut LED is used to improve color gamut, then color gamut is improved, but product cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor gamutVSAvoidproduct cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive high color gamut LEDs with a more cost-effective solution using standard blue LEDs combined with a quantum film. The quantum film, made from quantum dots, provides the necessary spectrum conversion at lower cost, achieving the same color gamut improvement without investing in premium LED components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite structure combining blue LED light source with quantum film material. This composite approach leverages the advantages of both components: the成熟 and cost-effective blue LED technology combined with the superior color conversion properties of quantum dots, achieving high color gamut at lower overall cost

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
