Description

COLOR CONVERSION LAYER AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME
FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a color conversion layer using luminescent composite particles for realizing high efficiency and a display device having the same.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Projectors for presentation or digital cinema are provided with multiple light sources. With the development of technologies and the merge of digital light processing (DLP) technique, light- emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser sources have started to be used as light source, which replace mercury or halogen lamp with liquid cristal devices (LCD). The LED based projector has many advantages, as compared with conventional ones, in view of less power consumption, an extended lifetime, and a better viewing experience, such as higher contrast.
We know from the prior art that projectors can further comprise a phosphor component which is excited by the primary light emitted from the light source, to emit a secondary light with a different color or wavelength with respect to the primary light.
We know from the prior art the document US 9,575,401. This document describes a light source apparatus for projector comprising: at least one light source configured to emit primary light; a first optical system including at least one aspherical surface configured to convert the primary light flux from the at least one light source into a substantially parallel light flux; an output unit including at least one light emitter configured to emit a secondary light upon excitation from the light source; a second optical system including at least one concave reflecting surface configured to collect lost primary light to the at least one light emitter of the output unit. The output unit comprises a rotating wheel on which a phosphor layer is deposited, the rotating wheel being configured to rotate around a predetermined rotation axis extending in a direction vertical to its surface.
However, those phosphors have a rather large full width half maximum, typically larger than 70 nm. This results in poor color purity, leading to non-saturated colors and energy loss in the final display and lighting devices. Indeed, a secondary light with narrow luminescence spectra are needed to increase the color purity and decrease the loss of energy. This will result in highly saturated shades with vivid, intense colors, while less saturated shades appear rather bland and gray. Furthermore, the phosphor layer may be deteriorated due to the excitation light applied to a certain position of the phosphor layer for a long period of time, i.e. the phosphor layer exhibits poor stability for long term use.
It is known to use quantum dots in display devices like phosphors. Quantum dots have a narrow fluorescence spectrum, approximately 30 nm full width at half maximum, and offer the possibility to emit in the entire visible spectrum as well as in the infrared with a single excitation source in the ultraviolet or blue light.
However, there is a real need for materials having a high stability for long term use when subjected to long period of excitation from a light source, i.e. having a high stability in time, and in temperature under a high photon flux. Indeed, nanoparticles must resist to temperatures as high as 200°C and constant high-intensity illumination.
To ensure a high long term stability, further chemical reaction between the surface of nanoparticles and environmental deteriorating species, such as water, oxygen or other harmful compounds, must be prevented during their use. However, the ligands commonly used to functionalize the surface of quantum dots do not protect efficiently said surface against reactions with deteriorating species or harmful compounds and thus do not enable the long-term performance required for display or lighting devices.
Furthermore, degragation of these nanoparticles should also be prevented at high temperature. Indeed, constant high-intensity illumination may induce an increase of the temperature of the environment of the nanoparticles and/or the nanoparticles themselves. The present invention relates to provide a color conversion layer comprising a low density of particles emitting light with an equivalent efficiency and thickness than for example the quantum dot. The present invention further relates to increase the amount of light converted from the primary light into secondary light by said particles. The present invention further relates to a color conversion layer allowing to control the scattering and the absorption of the incident light. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a color conversion layer comprising composite particles. Said composite particles comprise a plurality of nanoparticles, especially fluorescent nanoparticles, encapsulated in an inorganic material. The inorganic material forms a protective shell: i) to prevent degradation due to deteriorating species, harmful compounds or high temperature; ii) to drain away the heat and the electrical charges originating from the inorganic nanoparticles and the light source. Furthermore, composite particles can act as scatterers so that resulting light can be emitted in all directions. This color conversion layer can be combined with a light source for use in a projector. Said combination will provide an intense resulting light comprising narrow fluorescence spectra as an alternative to the use of quantum dots or regular phosphors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The following detailed description will be better understood when read in conjunction with the drawings. For the purpose of illustrating, the color conversion layer, the display apparatus and the composite particle are shown in the preferred embodiments. It should be understood, however that the application is not limited to the precise arrangements, structures, features, embodiments, and aspect shown. The drawings are not drawn to scale and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims to the embodiments depicted. Accordingly, it should be understood that where features mentioned in the appended claims are followed by reference signs, such signs are included solely for the purpose of enhancing the intelligibility of the claims and are in no way limiting on the scope of the claims. In a first aspect, illustrated in Fig. 7A-B, the invention relates to a color conversion layer 4, which could be used to replace a color filter for a display apparatus or to be used in addition of a color filter for a display apparatus. The color conversion layer 4 comprises at least one light emitting material 7 comprising at least one composite particle 1 surrounded partially or totally by at least one surrounding medium 71. Said at least one light emitting material 7 is configured to emit a secondary light in response to excitation, especially to excitation from a light source. The at least one composite particle 1 comprises a plurality of nanoparticles 3 encapsulated in an inorganic material 2. Said inorganic material 2 has a difference of refractive index compared to the at least one surrounding medium 71 superior or equal to 0.02. In one embodiment, the at least one composite particle 1 has a difference of refractive index compared to the at least one surrounding medium 71 superior or equal to 0.02.
The difference of refractive index was measured at 450 nm.
When primary light from a light source goes through the at least one surrounding medium 71 and meets at least one composite particle 1, said primary light may be divided. A first portion of this primary light may be transmitted through said composite particle 1. A second portion of this primary light may be absorbed by the nanoparticles 3. A third portion of this primary light may be scattered and/or reflected at the boundary between the at least one surrounding medium 71 and the composite particle 1 and then may meet another composite particle 1.
Efficiency of the light emitting material 7 is directly associated with unit cost, performance and size product. Only the use of the light emitting material 7 with high fluorescence efficiency may result in reduced unit cost of the product and in reduced quantity of fluorophores in display devices. The light emitting material 7 having a high efficiency refers to sufficient intense secondary light by using a small number of nanoparticles 3.
The inorganic material 2 has a difference of refractive index compared to the at least one surrounding medium 71, meaning that the at least one composite particle 1 embedded in the at least one surrounding medium 71 is able to scatter light. It is then possible to: i) decrease the amount of nanoparticles 3 for the same geometry and dimensions of filters compared to color filters or color converters with bare nanoparticles; ii) decrease the dimensions of the color filter or color converter while retaining the same concentration of nanoparticles 3 as in color filters or color converter layers compared to bare nanoparticles. In both cases, the amount of nanoparticles 3 required decreases and therefore the cost of the final product decreases. The composite particle 1 may also limit or prevent the oxidation of the nanoparticles 3; allow to control the distance between said nanoparticles 3 encapsulated in the inorganic material 2; allow to drain away the heat and the electrical charges originating from the inorganic nanoparticles 3 encapsulated in the inorganic material 2 or from the at least one surrounding medium; increase the emission light angle of the secondary light; improve light emission efficiency through the light emitting material 7 or the color conversion layer 4; and increase the color purity by decreasing the full-width at half maximum of light transmitted compared to the color filters or color converters known in the prior art. Also, the concentration of the composite particle 1 needed in the final product may be decreased. Accordingly, the employment of the composite particle 1 may result in an enhancement of the efficiency of the color conversion layer 4 compared to conventional color conversion layers in terms of optical performances and resistance against oxidative environment.
Composite particles 1 of the invention are also particularly interesting as they can easily comply with ROHS requirements depending on the inorganic material 2 selected. It is then possible to have ROHS compliant particles while preserving the properties of nanoparticles 3 that may not be ROHS compliant themselves.
The light emitting material 7 allows the protection of the composite particle 1 from molecular oxygen, ozone, water and/or high temperature by the at least one surrounding medium 71. Therefore, deposition of a supplementary protective layer on top of said light emitting material 7 is not compulsory, which can save time, money and loss of luminescence. According to one embodiment, the composite particle 1 is air processable. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the manipulation or the transport of said composite particle 1 and for the use of said composite particle 1 in a device such as an optoelectronic device.
According to one embodiment, the composite particle 1 is compatible with standard lithography processes. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the use of said composite particle 1 in a device such as an optoelectronic device.
According to one embodiment, the light emitting material 7 comprises at least one composite particle 1 surrounded by or embedded in at least one surrounding medium 71. Said at least one composite particle 1 is configured to emit a secondary light in response to excitation and scatter primary light emitted from a light source if the refractive index between said composite particle 1 and said surrounding medium 71 is different. According to one embodiment, in the composite particle 1, the plurality of nanoparticles 3 is uniformly dispersed in an inorganic material 2 (as illustrated in Fig. 1). The uniform dispersion of the plurality of nanoparticles 3 in the inorganic material 2 prevents the aggregation of said nanoparticles 3, thereby preventing the degradation of their properties.

A quantum dot is spherical, thus is has a 3D shape and allow confinement of excitons in all three spatial dimensions, whereas the nanoplatelet has a 2D shape and allow confinement of excitons in one dimension and allow free propagation in the other two dimensions. This results in distinct electronic and optical properties, for example the typical photoluminescence decay time of semiconductor platelets is 1 order of magnitude faster than for spherical quantum dots, and the semiconductor platelets also show an exceptionally narrow optical feature with full width at half maximum (FWHM) much lower than for spherical quantum dots.

According to one embodiment, to obtain a ROHS compliant composite particle 1, said composite particle 1 rather comprises semiconductor nanoplatelets than semiconductor quantum dots. Indeed, a same emission peak position is obtained for semiconductor quantum dots with a diameter d, and semiconductor nanoplatelets with a thickness d/2; thus for the same emission peak position, a semiconductor nanoplatelet comprises less cadmium in weight than a semiconductor quantum dot. Furthermore, if a CdS core is comprised in a core/shell quantum dot or a core/shell (or core/crown) nanoplatelet, then there are more possibilities of shell layers without cadmium in the case of core/shell (or core/crown) nanoplatelet; thus a core/shell (or core/crown) nanoplatelet with a CdS core may comprise less cadmium in weight than a core/shell quantum dot with a CdS core. The lattice difference between CdS and nonCadmium shells is too important for the quantum dot to sustain. Finally, semiconductor nanoplatelets have better absorption properties than semiconductor quantum dots, thus resulting in less cadmium in weight needed in semiconductor nanoplatelets.

For the use of the dry hard resin, the resin is cured by applying heat to a solvent in which the at least one composite particle 1 is dispersed.
When a thermosetting resin or a photocurable resin is used, the composition of the resulting light intensity emitting material 7 is equal to the composition of the raw material of the light emitting material 7.
