Solution Overview

Problem

Inorganic light-emitting diode display panels face challenges in achieving uniform brightness and display effects due to differences in light-emitting efficiency across different color layers, which requires vertical stacking of multiple inorganic LEDs to enhance pixel density.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design that includes a substrate with a first light-emitting element and a color conversion light-emitting element stacked in a perpendicular direction. The color conversion light-emitting element comprises a second color light-emitting layer and a third color color conversion layer, where the second color light-emitting layer with higher efficiency emits light to excite the third color color conversion layer, improving the light-emitting efficiency of the third color.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If multiple inorganic light-emitting diodes are stacked vertically to achieve ultra-high-density pixel resolution, then the PPI is significantly improved, but the brightness uniformity deteriorates due to different light-emitting efficiency of light-emitting layers of different colors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel resolutionVSAvoidbrightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a color conversion layer as an intermediary component between the light-emitting layer and the external environment. This color conversion layer converts the emitted light from a first color to a second color, enabling the use of light-emitting layers with higher efficiency while achieving the desired color output. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by decoupling the light-emitting efficiency requirement from the color requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the light-emitting structure by using a first color light-emitting layer with higher light-emitting efficiency and introducing a color conversion layer to transform the light color. This parameter change allows the system to operate at higher efficiency while maintaining the required color output, thereby improving brightness uniformity across different colors in the vertical stacking configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple inorganic light-emitting diodes are stacked vertically to enhance pixel density, then the PPI is significantly improved, but the power consumption increases due to compensating for lower light-emitting efficiency of certain colors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel densityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The color conversion layer acts as a mediator that enables the system to use light-emitting layers with higher intrinsic efficiency. By converting the light color rather than relying on low-efficiency direct emission, the system reduces the total energy required to achieve the desired brightness and color output, thus lowering power consumption while maintaining high pixel density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters by selecting light-emitting layers with higher efficiency characteristics and using color conversion to achieve the required color spectrum. This parameter optimization reduces the energy input needed to maintain the same output brightness, thereby reducing power consumption in high-density vertical stacking configurations.
