Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light emitting devices experience significant color shift issues at wide viewing angles due to the interaction of light extraction structures with optical resonant structures, leading to reduced light extraction efficiency and increased power consumption.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a light emitting device design where the resonant peak wavelength in the normal direction of the substrate is set larger than the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum for green and blue light emitting elements, with a specific difference between these wavelengths to shift color shifts towards the blue side, thereby reducing the visibility of color shifts at wide angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If a light extraction structure such as a microlens is provided to improve light extraction efficiency, then power consumption is reduced, but color mixture with adjacent light emitting elements occurs and optical conditions change causing increased color shift at wide viewing angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different resonant wavelength configurations to different color light emitting elements (red, green, blue) locally. Each element is designed with a resonant structure optimized for its specific wavelength, allowing the light extraction structure to work effectively for each color while minimizing color shift at wide viewing angles through localized optical condition control
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the resonant wavelength parameter of the optical resonant structure to match the peak emission wavelength of each light emitting element. By adjusting this critical parameter, the system achieves improved light extraction efficiency and reduced color shift simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between energy efficiency and color stability
2Productivity
If the resonant wavelength is configured to match the peak emission wavelength of each light emitting element, then light extraction efficiency is improved, but the relationship between resonant wavelength and color shift changes causing visibility issues at wide angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality optimization by configuring each light emitting element's resonant structure with a resonant wavelength specifically matched to its peak emission wavelength. This localized tuning allows high light extraction efficiency for each element while the overall arrangement minimizes color shift visibility through controlled optical interactions between adjacent elements
