Solution Overview

Problem

Current LED-based white light sources using blue chips and yellow fluorescent powders struggle to achieve color saturation due to insufficient red light contribution, which limits color gamut in consumer electronics.

Innovation Solution

A trichromatic illuminating module with a higher ratio of red chips to green and blue chips, specifically 3:1:1, is employed on a circuit board, with each illuminating unit comprising multiple red, green, and blue chips connected in a specific configuration to enhance red light emission and increase color saturation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the white light generation into three separate color channels (red, green, blue) using three distinct LED chips. Each chip emits its primary color, and through additive color mixing, they produce white light with enhanced color saturation. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each color channel's luminous characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a composite structure combining three different types of LED chips (red, green, blue) with distinct semiconductor materials and emission characteristics. This composite approach integrates multiple light sources with complementary spectral properties to achieve superior color rendering and saturation compared to single-chip solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Illumination intensity

If the amount of red chips is increased to improve color saturation, then color saturation increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple red, green, and blue LED chips into integrated illuminating units that are collectively controlled by a single driving circuit. The chips within each unit share common electrical connections and control signals, reducing the overall system complexity despite the increased number of individual light-emitting elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The illuminating units are designed with universal structures that can emit multiple colors simultaneously. Each unit functions as a multi-color light source by combining the emission from its constituent red, green, and blue chips, eliminating the need for separate single-color light sources and simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The disclosure provides a trichromatic illuminating module, comprising a circuit board and multiple illuminating units disposed on the circuit board. Each illuminating unit comprises a red chip, a green chip and a blue chip disposed on the circuit board, and intervals are set therebetween, a voltage is applied to the circuit board for illuminating the red chip, the green chip and the blue chip. There are more red chips than green chips and blue chips in each illuminating unit. Thus, the ratio of red light is increased. Since red light has the highest color gamut in the three primary colors, which causes it difficult for the saturation of color gamut. However, the ratio of red light of the disclosure is increased, such that the color saturation of white light emitted from the trichromatic illuminating module is increased. The disclosure also provides a backlight module and a liquid crystal display device.
