Definitions
- FIG. 1 A illustrates a conventional liquid crystal display (LCD) with an edge lit backlight configuration.
- FIG. IB illustrates a direct lit backlight configuration for the conventional LCD.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a backlight unit or module 200 according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates backlight unit according to the present invention.
- backlight units including a remote phosphor package according to the present invention exhibit efficiency improvements over conventional display backlight units due to the efficient use of primary light, resulting in a reduction in wasted light energy.
- the remote phosphor package includes a green emitting quantum dot material and a Mn 4+ doped phosphor of formula I, dispersed in a host matrix
- A is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, or combinations thereof;
- M is Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, Al, Ga, In, Sc, Y, La, Nb, Ta, Bi, Gd, or combinations thereof;
- x is an absolute value of a charge of the [MF y ] ion;
- y is 5, 6 or 7.
- FIG. 1 A illustrates a conventional liquid crystal display (LCD) with an edge lit backlight configuration.
- LCD 100 A includes a primary light source or backlight source 102, light guide panel 106, and a LCD panel 120.
- the LCD 100 uses the LCD panel 120 with control electronics and the backlight source 102 to produce color images.
- the backlight source 102 provides white light.
- the liquid crystal display panel 120 includes color filters 122 arranged in subpixels, such as a red color filter, a green color filter, and a blue color filter.
- the red, green, and blue filters 122 transmit a light having a specific wavelength of white light incident from the backlight sourcel02.
- the filters 122 transmit wavelengths of light corresponding to the color of each filter, and absorb other wavelengths.
- the LCD panel 120 also includes a front polarizer 118, a rear polarizerl 14, a thin film transistor 126, and liquid crystal 116 as well as electrodes (not shown).
- the color filters 122 are positioned between the liquid crystal 116 and the front polarizer 118.
- the thin film transitor 126 is positioned between the liquid crystal 116 and the rear polarizer 114.
- Each pixel has a corresponding transistor or switch for controlling voltage applied to the liquid crystal 116.
- the front and rear polarizers 118 and 114 may be set at right angles. Normally, the LCD panel 120 is opaque.
- Backlight source 102 includes one or more blue LEDs and yellow phosphor pumped by the blue LEDs to emit white light for LCD 100.
- the white light from the backlight source 102 travels toward light guide panel 106, through diffuser film 110 and prism 108 as well as double brightness enhanced film 124, which provides a uniform light backlight for the liquid crystal display panel 120.
- the backlight source 102 may include a white LED that provides white light to the light guide panel 106.
- the white LED may use a blue LED with broad spectrum yellow phosphor, or a blue LED with red and green phosphors.
- FIG. IB illustrates a direct lit backlight configuration for the conventional LCD.
- the main differences from the edge lit configuration 100B include different arrangement of a number of LEDs and absence of light guide panel 106. More specifically, the LEDs 102 are arranged to directly provide light to a diffuser plate 126, which is normally thicker than the diffuser film 110 and thus supports the diffuser film 110.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a backlight unit or module 200 according to the present invention that includes light source 202, light guide panel 204, remote phosphor package 206, dichroic filter 210, and LCD panel 216.
- Backlight unit 200 may also optionally include a prism 212 and a double brightness enhanced film 214.
- the light source 202 is a blue emitting LED. To produce even lighting, blue light from the light source 202 first passes through light guide panel 204 which diffuses the blue light.
- the LCD panel 216 also includes color filters arranged in subpixels, a front polarizer, a rear polarizer, and liquid crystal as well as electrodes, similar to the LCD panel 120 for the conventional LCD 100.
- the double brightness enhanced film 214 is a reflective polarizer film which increases efficiency by repeatedly reflecting any unpolarized light back, which would otherwise be absorbed by the LCD's rear polarizer.
- the double brightness enhanced film 214 is placed behind the liquid crystal display panel 216 without any other film in-between.
- the double brightness enhanced film 214 may be mounted with its transmission axis substantially parallel to the transmission axis of the rear polarizer.
- the double brightness enhanced film 214 helps recycle the white light 222 that would normally be absorbed by the rear polarizer (not shown) of the liquid crystal panel 216, and thus increases the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel 216.
- a backlight unit may vary in configuration.
- a direct lit configuration may be used, similar to the direct lit configuration shown in FIG. IB.
- the prism 212 may also be removed or substituted by other brightness enhancement component in an alternative embodiment.

DEVICES CONTAINING A REMOTE PHOSPHOR PACKAGE WITH RED LINE EMITTING PHOSPHORS AND GREEN EMITTING QUANTUM DOTS
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a non-provisional of and claims priority from U.S. provisional application, serial number 62/304572, filed March 7, 2016, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Energy efficiency is a critical feature in the field of consumer electronics, and displays consume a large portion of device power. Display power consumption highly affects many features of electronic display devices, including battery requirements in mobile display applications, as well as device operating temperature and panel lifetime, especially in large display applications. In conventional display devices, a majority of the energy consumed by the device is dedicated to the display, particularly the display backlight unit. Conventional phosphors exhibit broad emission spectra, so a large amount of the light produced is filtered out by color filters to produce sharper color components. This broad spectrum filtering results in wasted light energy, decreased brightness, and higher display operating temperatures. Therefore, improvements in color gamut and brightness are desirable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
[0007] It has been discovered that backlight units including a remote phosphor package according to the present invention exhibit efficiency improvements over conventional display backlight units due to the efficient use of primary light, resulting in a reduction in wasted light
energy. The remote phosphor package includes a green emitting quantum dot material and a Mn4+ doped phosphor of formula I, dispersed in a host matrix
I
wherein
A is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, or combinations thereof;
M is Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, Al, Ga, In, Sc, Y, La, Nb, Ta, Bi, Gd, or combinations thereof; x is an absolute value of a charge of the [MFy] ion; and
y is 5, 6 or 7.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0008] FIG. 1 A illustrates a conventional liquid crystal display (LCD) with an edge lit backlight configuration. LCD 100 A includes a primary light source or backlight source 102, light guide panel 106, and a LCD panel 120. The LCD 100 uses the LCD panel 120 with control electronics and the backlight source 102 to produce color images. The backlight source 102 provides white light.
[0009] The liquid crystal display panel 120 includes color filters 122 arranged in subpixels, such as a red color filter, a green color filter, and a blue color filter. The red, green, and blue filters 122 transmit a light having a specific wavelength of white light incident from the backlight sourcel02. The filters 122 transmit wavelengths of light corresponding to the color of each filter, and absorb other wavelengths.
[0010] The LCD panel 120 also includes a front polarizer 118, a rear polarizerl 14, a thin film transistor 126, and liquid crystal 116 as well as electrodes (not shown). The color filters 122 are positioned between the liquid crystal 116 and the front polarizer 118. The thin film transitor 126 is positioned between the liquid crystal 116 and the rear polarizer 114. Each pixel has a corresponding transistor or switch for controlling voltage applied to the liquid crystal 116. The front and rear polarizers 118 and 114 may be set at right angles. Normally, the LCD panel 120 is opaque. When a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal 116, the rod-shaped polymers align with the electric field and untwist such that the voltage controls the light output from the front polarizer 118. For example, when a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal 116, the liquid crystal 116 rotates so that there is a light output from the front polarizer 118.
[0011] Backlight source 102 includes one or more blue LEDs and yellow phosphor pumped by the blue LEDs to emit white light for LCD 100. The white light from the backlight source 102 travels toward light guide panel 106, through diffuser film 110 and prism 108 as well as double brightness enhanced film 124, which provides a uniform light backlight for the liquid crystal display panel 120. Alternatively, the backlight source 102 may include a white LED that provides white light to the light guide panel 106. The white LED may use a blue LED with broad spectrum yellow phosphor, or a blue LED with red and green phosphors.
[0012] FIG. IB illustrates a direct lit backlight configuration for the conventional LCD. As shown, the main differences from the edge lit configuration 100B include different arrangement of a number of LEDs and absence of light guide panel 106. More specifically, the LEDs 102 are arranged to directly provide light to a diffuser plate 126, which is normally thicker than the diffuser film 110 and thus supports the diffuser film 110.
[0013] FIG. 2 illustrates a backlight unit or module 200 according to the present invention that includes light source 202, light guide panel 204, remote phosphor package 206, dichroic filter 210, and LCD panel 216. Backlight unit 200 may also optionally include a prism 212 and a double brightness enhanced film 214. The light source 202 is a blue emitting LED. To produce even lighting, blue light from the light source 202 first passes through light guide panel 204 which diffuses the blue light. The LCD panel 216 also includes color filters arranged in subpixels, a front polarizer, a rear polarizer, and liquid crystal as well as electrodes, similar to the LCD panel 120 for the conventional LCD 100. Generally, there is an air space between the LCD panel 216 and the double brightness enhanced film 214. The double brightness enhanced film 214 is a reflective polarizer film which increases efficiency by repeatedly reflecting any unpolarized light back, which would otherwise be absorbed by the LCD's rear polarizer. The double brightness enhanced film 214 is placed behind the liquid crystal display panel 216 without any other film in-between. The double brightness enhanced film 214 may be mounted with its transmission axis substantially parallel to the transmission axis of the rear polarizer. The double brightness enhanced film 214 helps recycle the white light 222 that would normally be absorbed by the rear polarizer (not shown) of the liquid crystal panel 216, and thus increases the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel 216.
[0014] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a backlight unit according to the present invention may vary in configuration. For example, a direct lit configuration may be used, similar to the direct lit configuration shown in FIG. IB. The prism 212 may also be removed or
substituted by other brightness enhancement component in an alternative embodiment. The double brightness enhanced film 214 may be removed in another embodiment.
[0015] Unlike the conventional LCD 100, instead of using the red phosphor 110A and green phosphor HOB, remote phosphor package 206 includes particles 208 A of a complex fluoride phosphor of formula I and particles 208B of a green quantum dot material. It is "remote" in the sense that the primary light source and the phosphor material are separate elements, and the phosphor material is not integrated with the primary light source as a single element. Primary light is emitted from the primary light source and is travels through one or more external media to radiationally couple the LED light source to the QD-phosphor material.
[0016] Red-emitting phosphors based on complex fluoride materials activated by Mn4+, such as those described in US 7,358,542, US 7,497,973, and US 7,648,649, absorb blue light strongly, and efficiently emit between about 610 nanometers and 635 nanometers with little deep red/NIR emission. The complex fluoride phosphors of formula I have a host lattice containing a coordination center, surrounded by fluoride ions acting as ligands, and charge-compensated by counter ions (A) as necessary. For example, in K2[SiF6], the coordination center is Si and the counter ion is K. Complex fluorides are occasionally represented as a combination of simple, binary fluorides but such a representation does not indicate the coordination number for the ligands around the coordination center. The square brackets (occasionally omitted for simplicity) indicate that the complex ion they encompass is a new chemical species, different from the simple fluoride ion. The Mn4+dopant or activator acts as an additional coordination center, substituting a part of the coordination center, for example, Si, forming a luminescent center. The host lattice (including the counter ions) may further modify the excitation and emission properties of the activator ion.
[0017] The counter ion A in formula I is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, or combinations thereof, and y is 6. In certain embodiments, A is Na, K, Rb, or combinations thereof. The coordination center M in formula I is an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, Ti, Zr, Hf, Sn, Al, Ga, In, Sc, Y, Bi, La, Gd, Nb, Ta, and combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, M is Si, Ge, Ti, or combinations thereof. Examples of the phosphors of formula I include K2[SiF6]:Mn4+, K2[TiF6]:Mn4+, K2[SnF6]:Mn4+, Cs2[TiF6]:Mn4+, Rb2[TiF6]:Mn4+, Cs2[SiF6]:Mn4+, Rb2[SiF6]:Mn4+, Na2[TiF6]:Mn4+, Na2[ZrF6]:Mn4+, K3[ZrF7]:Mn4+, K3[BiF7]:Mn4+, K3[YF7]:Mn4+, K3[LaF7]:Mn4+, K3[GdF7]:Mn4+, K3[NbF7]:Mn4+, K3[TaF7]:Mn4+. In certain embodiments, the phosphor of formula I is K2[SiF6]:Mn4+.
[0018] QD materials for use in the remote phosphor package include at least one population of QDs capable of emitting green light upon excitation by a blue light source. The QD wavelengths and concentrations can be adjusted to meet the optical performance required. Preferred QD characteristics include high quantum efficiency (e.g., about 90% or greater), continuous and tunable emission spectrum, and narrow and sharp spectral emission, e.g., less than 40 nm, 30 nm or less, or 20 nm or less full width at half max (FWHM).
[0019] The green emitting quantum dot material may include a group II- VI compound, a group
III V compound, a group IV-IV compound, a group IV compound, a group I-III-Vk compound or a mixture thereof.

ligands to protect the QDs from environmental conditions including elevated temperatures, high intensity light, external gasses, and moisture, control aggregation, and allow for dispersion of the QDs in the matrix material.
