Solution Overview
Problem
In light emitting devices with miniaturized semiconductor elements, the luminous efficiency and pixel density are compromised due to limited power supply and heating issues, leading to insufficient light emission and image quality.
Innovation Solution
A light emitting device configuration with a first, second, and third layer of light emitting elements, where the third layer has an indium gallium nitride-based light emitting layer and a gallium nitride-based cathode layer, with a larger light emission area to enhance luminous efficiency and match the light emission of other colors, thereby improving pixel brightness and image quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If semiconductor elements are miniaturized to increase pixel density, then pixel density is improved, but luminous efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the light emission area of the red light emitting element larger than those of blue and green light emitting elements. This localized adjustment compensates for the lower luminous efficiency of red elements without requiring all elements to be uniformly enlarged, thus maintaining high pixel density while improving overall light emission balance.
2Illumination intensity
If electric power is increased to improve light emission amount, then brightness is improved, but heat generation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the light emission area of the red light emitting element larger than those of blue and green light emitting elements. This localized adjustment compensates for the lower luminous efficiency of red elements without requiring all elements to be uniformly enlarged, thus maintaining high pixel density while improving overall light emission balance.
