  • Patent number: 11341895
    Abstract: A method for application in a QLED display device is provided for cancelling optical crosstalk occurring in a QLED display panel consisting of M number of anode wires, N number of cathode wires, and M×N number of QLED elements. In case of the method being implemented in the QLED display device, a control unit is configured for controlling a column driver unit to supply a positive bias voltage to at least one QLED element that is addressingly selected. In the meantime, the control unit also controls a low driver unit to supply a reverse bias voltage to each of the QLED elements that are not selected. In such case, when the addressingly-selected QLED element achieves a light emission normally, each of the QLED elements that are not selected is reversely biased for failing to produce optical crosstalk.

  • Patent number: 10935694
    Abstract: Light scattering particles made of TiO2, BaSO4, SiO2, or Al2O3 have been used in a QD layer of a QD-LED for enhancing luminous intensity. However, the light scatters are found to decline the light conversion efficiency of the QD layer. In view of that, the present invention particularly discloses a light conversion material with high conversion efficiency for use in the QD-LED. The light conversion material mainly comprises a polymer matrix, a plurality of 3D photonic crystals dispersed in the polymer matrix, and a plurality of quantum dots dispersed in the polymer matrix, wherein each of the plurality of 3D photonic crystals is formed by applying a self-assembly process to a plurality of polymer beads. Moreover, a variety of experimental data have proved that, this light conversion material indeed exhibits outstanding photoluminescence intensity and light conversion efficiency both superior than that of the conventionally-used QD layer.

  • Patent number: 10896997
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a light-diffusion quantum dot nanostructure and an LED component having the same. The quantum dot nanostructure comprises an optical core, an organic ligand layer, a hydrophobic layer, an inorganic encapsulation layer, and a multi-layered water vapor barrier layer. In the present invention, the multi-layered water vapor barrier layer is particularly designed to an onion skin-like structure, so as to facilitate photoluminescence rays radiated from the optical core can emit out of the barrier layer via voids or pores of the onion skin-like structure, such that the uniformity of the spatial light output distribution of the LED component having the quantum dot nanostructures can be obviously enhanced. On the other hand, because the multi-layered water vapor barrier layer can also improve the dispersibility of the light-diffusion quantum dot nanostructures in a colloidal encapsulation of the LED component, the luminous intensity of the LED component is therefore increased.

  • Patent number: 10670231
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a light conversion material with light reflective structure, comprises: a transparent substrate, a plurality of first light conversion films and second light conversion films. Particularly, the second light conversion film is disposed between two of the first light conversion films, and has a refractive index greater than that of the first light conversion film. By such design, when a short-wavelength light is incident on the first light conversion films and the second light conversion films, parts of the short-wavelength light have a reflected light forming at the junction between the two light conversion films, and the reflected light would bounce back to the first light conversion film and/or the second light conversion film, thereby those unconverted short-wavelength light being prevented from directly passing the light conversion material. Briefly speaking, this light conversion material exhibits an outstanding performance on short-wavelength light recycling.
