Segmented Optical Film for Flexible OLED Stress and Color Gamut
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible organic light emitting display devices face issues with stress-induced damage at bending areas, leading to peeling of light emitting diode layers and thin film transistor breakage, which deteriorates color gamut and video quality.
Innovation Solution
A complex film structure comprising an adhesive layer with distinct areas for optical and optical conversion films, along with a protective film, is applied to the substrate, where the optical conversion film with quantum-dot particles on the bending area enhances color gamut while facilitating bending without excessive stress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If an optical film is formed on the bending area to enhance color gamut, then color purity is improved, but stress on the bending area increases causing peeling and breakage
Solution Approach 1:
The optical film is divided into two distinct areas: a first area with an optical film for high color gamut requirements, and a second area with an optical conversion film for stress reduction. This segmentation allows each area to have optimized properties for its specific function, resolving the contradiction between color quality and structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
Different optical films are applied to different areas based on local requirements. The first area receives an optical film with high color gamut properties, while the second area receives an optical conversion film with better flexibility and stress resistance, matching the local quality needs of each region.
2Reliability
If the optical film is removed from the bending area to reduce stress, then structural integrity is improved, but color gamut deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of removing the optical film entirely, the solution segments the film structure into two areas, preserving the optical film in the first area for color gamut maintenance while using an optical conversion film in the second area for stress reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical film is selectively applied only where high color gamut is critical (first area), while the optical conversion film is applied where stress resistance is more important (second area), optimizing the balance between color quality and structural integrity locally.
3Manufacturing precision
If a thick optical film is used to enhance color gamut, then color purity is improved, but bending flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The optical film structure is segmented into two areas with different thickness and material properties. The first area has a thicker optical film for color purity, while the second area has a thinner optical conversion film for bending flexibility, resolving the contradiction between color quality and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different film thicknesses and materials are used in different areas: the first area uses a thicker optical film where color purity is prioritized, while the second area uses a thinner optical conversion film where bending capability is prioritized, matching local quality requirements.
