Mini-LED backlight and quantum-dot color conversion (QDCC) technology are the research hotspots of emerging display technology. When they are combined together, the luminance uniformity issue may occur because of traditional QDCC film (QDCCF) with uniform thickness. This paper designs and optimizes QDCCFs with non-uniform thickness of cone and circular truncated cone, respectively. The illuminance uniformity is analyzed by simulation. Results show that the illuminance uniformity of the optimized cone and circular truncated cone with a single structure can reach 73.97% and 74.72%, respectively. The single structure with uniform thickness is only 35.84%. After that, the single structure with nonuniform thickness is arrayed with a basic substrate added at the bottom, which is matched with the mini-LED backlight. By optimizing the array configuration and the basic substrate, the illuminance uniformity of the backlight reaches 73.55% and 79.25%, respectively. This QDCCF with non-uniform thickness distribution can effectively improve the illuminance uniformity when mini-LED is combined with QDCCF. This work proposes a new strategy for uniform color conversion of mini-LED display backlights.
In order to improve high efficiency for light-color conversion, this paper studies a high-efficiency light recycled structure for quantum dot color conversion (QDCC) based on a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The difference of optical performance is discussed between the QDCC structure employing a DBR and an absorptive color filter (ACF). Traditional quantum dot color conversion layer (QDCCL) has inherent limitations of blue light leakage and low light utilization rate. To solve this, an optical structure of QDCCL is proposed and discussed in detail, which uses a DBR instead of the traditional color filter and realizes efficient light-color conversion. Different structures are compared via experimental preparation and measurement, such as light-emitting intensity, color gamut, and light utilization rate. Results show that the structure of QDCCL combining a DBR can not only achieve a high color gamut of 124 NTSC%, but also increase the light utilization rate over twice than the traditional ACF structure. More importantly, the light emission intensity of red and green sub-pixels is increased by 2.2 and 2.3 times, respectively. In general, the structure proposed in this paper is of great significance to the development of the display industry.
