Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED lighting devices cannot adjust the emitted light color using reflective materials and lack clarity in substrate rear surface configuration, leading to potential warpage issues due to heat generation from light emitting elements.
Innovation Solution
A light emitting substrate with a phosphor layer on an insulating substrate, featuring a second electrode group on the rear surface to stabilize the phosphor substrate and suppress warpage, while allowing for adjustable light emission color through a phosphor layer that converts the light emission peak wavelength to the visible region.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If a reflective material is provided on the substrate surface to improve light emitting efficiency, then light emitting efficiency is improved, but the light emission color cannot be adjusted to different colors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by incorporating phosphor materials with different emission characteristics into the substrate. The substrate includes both reflective materials for efficiency and phosphors that can be excited by UV or blue LEDs to emit different wavelengths, enabling color adjustment while maintaining high light emitting efficiency through the reflective components.
2Power
If light emitting elements are mounted on the substrate, then light emission function is achieved, but warpage occurs due to heat generation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the counterweight principle by providing electrode patterns on both the front and rear surfaces of the substrate. These electrode patterns act as thermal counterweights that balance the heat distribution and mechanical stress caused by mounted light emitting elements, thereby preventing substrate warpage while maintaining full light emission functionality.
3Ease of manufacture
If the rear surface configuration is not clearly defined, then manufacturing flexibility is maintained, but warpage suppression is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring electrode patterns on the rear surface of the substrate before mounting light emitting elements. This preliminary configuration of the rear surface structure provides proactive warpage suppression through thermal balancing, while still allowing manufacturing flexibility in terms of electrode pattern design and fabrication methods.
