1. Field of the Invention

2. Description of the Prior Art
In recent years, with the continuous development of the display technology, it is no doubt that the liquid crystal display (LCD) is the mainstream of the flat panel display technology. Among all kinds of LCD, the color sequential LCD (CS-LCD) can increase the gamut and saturation of the system, lower the material cost, and even largely enhance the electro-optical conversion efficiency of the display panel, therefore, the CS-LCD can meet the specifications of wide gamut, high resolution, and low power consumption for the new generation flat panel display technology.
Because the color filter is not needed in the CS-LCD, the pixels of the liquid crystal module of the CS-LCD need not to be divided into sub-pixels. Taking the direct-type backlight module shown in

In general, the CS-LCD has many advantages as follows. (1) Since the CS-LCD needs not to use the color filter, the cost can be lowered and the overall efficiency can be increased. (2) Since the complicated design of RGB sub-pixels is unnecessary, the yield of the TFT array substrate can be increased, and the complexity of the control circuit can be simplified, and the power consumption can be also reduced. (3) The aperture ratio between the pixels is increased, so that the space of the panel pixel is enlarged, and the panel pixel will have high resolution. (4) The CS-LCD can show colors having high color saturation and the gamut of the system can be effectively enlarged.
However, the LED 20 of the CS-LCD must have the red-light LED chip 200, the green-light LED chip 202, and the blue-light LED chip 204 at the same time. Since these three LED chips of different primary colors have different characteristics such as photoelectric characteristic or lifetime respectively, and the efficiency of the green-light LED chip 202 is poor, and the red-light LED chip 200 is too sensitive to temperature, the phenomenon of thermal decay and color distortion will be easily caused, the overall efficiency and lifetime of the CS-LCD will be seriously affected.

The first dividing structure 32 and the second dividing structure 33 are disposed in the containing space, and the first dividing structure 32 and the second dividing structure 33 divide the containing space into a first region S1, a second region S2, and a third region S3. In a preferred embodiment, the first dividing structure 32 and the second dividing structure 33 is thinner than the sidewall of the cup structure 31, the first region S1, the second region S2, and the third region S3 can be closer to obtain better light-mixing effect. Wherein, the first blue-light chip 34 and the first package colloidal 37 are disposed in the first region S1; the second blue-light chip 35 and the second package colloidal 38 are disposed in the second region S2; the green-light phosphor GP is mixed into the second package colloidal 38; the third blue-light chip 36 and the fourth package colloidal 39 are disposed in the third region S3; the red-light phosphor RP is mixed into the fourth package colloidal 39.

It should be noticed that the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38 can completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band emitted from the second blue-light chip 35 into a monochromatic emission spectrum of a green-light band. In other words, the spectrum of the lights emitted from the second package colloidal 38 will focus on the green-light band without the blue lights emitted from the second blue-light chip 35.

The LED apparatus 3 shown in
Please refer to Table 2. Table 2 shows the experimental data of the thermal stability of the conventional LED apparatus 20 using the red-light chip 200 in
In this embodiment, in the LED apparatus 3 of the CS-LCD, the first blue-light chip 34, the second blue-light chip 35, and the third blue-light chip 36 disposed in the first region S1, the second region S2, and the third region S3 respectively emit the monochromatic emission spectra of the first blue-light band, the second blue-light band, and the third blue-light band in order at a specific time. Wherein, the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band emitted from the second blue-light chip 35 will be completely converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of a green-light band by the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38; the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band emitted from the third blue-light chip 36 will be completely converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of a red-light band by the red-light phosphor RP mixed in the fourth package colloidal 39. The color sequence switching rate among the first blue-light band, the green-light band, and the red-light band is faster than the perceiving frequency (60 Hz) of human eyes, human brain will superpose the screen effects to feel the full-color screen due to the vision persistence effect.
In practical applications, because silicate, oxynitride, lutetium aluminum oxide, and calcium scandium oxide can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band, the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38 can be silicate, oxynitride, lutetium aluminum oxide, or calcium scandium oxide, but not limited to these cases.
In an embodiment, the silicate is selected as the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38. If the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (silicate) and the second package colloidal 38 is less than 80%, the green-light phosphor GP (silicate) will fail to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band. That is, the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP and the second package colloidal 38 is higher; the efficiency of the converting is higher. However, the higher weight ratio results bigger volume to shield more luminescent area. It reduces the efficiency of the luminescence. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP and the second package colloidal 38 is over than 160%, the efficiency of the luminescence is too lower to apply to practice. Therefore, it is better that the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (silicate) and the second package colloidal 38 ranges between 80% and 160%. In fact, since (Ca,Sr,Ba)2SiO4:Eu can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band, the silicate selected as the green-light phosphor GP can include (Ca,Sr,Ba)2SiO4:Eu, but not limited to this case.
In another embodiment, the oxynitride is selected as the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38. If the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (oxynitride) and the second package colloidal 38 is less than 90%, the green-light phosphor GP (oxynitride) will fail to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP and the second package colloidal 38 is over than 180%, the efficiency of the luminescence is too lower to apply to practice. Therefore, it is better that the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (oxynitride) and the second package colloidal 38 ranges between 90% and 180%. In fact, since β-SiAlON:Eu can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band, the oxynitride selected as the green-light phosphor GP can include β-SiAlON:Eu, but not limited to this case.
In another embodiment, the lutetium aluminum oxide is selected as the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38. If the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (lutetium aluminum oxide) and the second package colloidal 38 is less than 80%, the green-light phosphor GP (lutetium aluminum oxide) will fail to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP and the second package colloidal 38 is over than 160%, the efficiency of the luminescence is too lower to apply to practice. Therefore, it is better that the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (lutetium aluminum oxide) and the second package colloidal 38 ranges between 80% and 160%. In fact, since Lu3Al5O12:Ce can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band, the lutetium aluminum oxide selected as the green-light phosphor GP can include Lu3Al5O12:Ce, but not limited to this case.
In another embodiment, the calcium scandium is selected as the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the second package colloidal 38. If the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (calcium scandium) and the second package colloidal 38 is less than 90%, the green-light phosphor GP (calcium scandium) will fail to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP and the second package colloidal 38 is over than 180%, the efficiency of the luminescence is too lower to apply to practice. Therefore, it is better that the weight ratio between the green-light phosphor GP (calcium scandium) and the second package colloidal 38 ranges between 90% and 180%. In fact, since CaSc2O4:Ce can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 35 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band, the calcium scandium oxide selected as the green-light phosphor GP can include CaSc2O4:Ce, but not limited to this case.
In practical applications, because nitride can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band emitted from the third blue-light chip 36 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the red-light band, the red-light phosphor RP mixed in the fourth package colloidal can be nitride, but not limited to this case.
In an embodiment, the nitride is selected as the red-light phosphor RP of the third package colloidal 39. If the weight ratio between the red-light phosphor RP (nitride) and the third package colloidal 39 is less than 24%, the red-light phosphor RP (nitride) will fail to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band emitted from the third blue-light chip 36 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the red-light band. That is, the weight ratio between the red-light phosphor RP and the third package colloidal 39 is higher; the efficiency of the converting is higher. However, the higher weight ratio results bigger volume to shield more luminescent area. It reduces the efficiency of the luminescence. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between the red-light phosphor RP and the third package colloidal 39 is over than 120%, the efficiency of the luminescence is too lower to apply to practice. Therefore, it is better that the weight ratio between the red-light phosphor RP (nitride) and the third package colloidal 39 ranges between 24% and 120%. In fact, since (Ca,Sr)AlSiN3:Eu and (Ca,Sr,Ba)2Si5N8:Eu can be used to completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band emitted from the third blue-light chip 36 into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the red-light band respectively, the nitride selected as the red-light phosphor RP can include (Ca,Sr)AlSiN3:Eu or (Ca,Sr,Ba)2Si5N8:Eu, but not limited to this case.

In this embodiment, the cup structure 61 is disposed on the substrate 60 and encloses a containing space. The first dividing structure 62 and the second dividing structure 63 are disposed in the containing space, and the first dividing structure 62 and the second dividing structure 63 divide the containing space into a first region S1, a second region S2, and a third region S3. Wherein, the first blue-light chip 64 and the first package colloidal 67 are disposed in the first region S1; the second blue-light chip 65 and the second package colloidal 68 are disposed in the second region S2; the yellow-light phosphor YP is mixed into the second package colloidal 68; the third blue-light chip 66 and the third package colloidal 69 are disposed in the third region S3; the red-light phosphor RP is mixed into the third package colloidal 69. In this embodiment, the first region S1 can form a blue light, the second region S2 can form a white light, and the third region S3 can form a red light. A green light can be formed by the white light of the second region S2 cooperating with the green color filter GF. Therefore, the LED apparatus of this embodiment can cooperate with a partial green color filter GF to be applied in the hybrid field sequential color display.
It should be mentioned that the yellow-light phosphor YP mixed in the second package colloidal 68 can be replaced by a yellow-light (YP) and red-light phosphor (RP) or a green-light (GP) and red-light (RP) phosphor; that is to say, if a phosphor can cooperate with the blue-light chip to form a white light, it is suitable to be mixed in the second package colloidal 68. In practical applications, the yellow-light phosphor YP can be silicate, nitride, or yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), wherein the nitride can include La3Si6N11:Ce, but not limited to this; the red-light phosphor RP can be nitride, such as (Ca,Sr)AlSiN3:Eu or (Ca,Sr,Ba)2Si5N8:Eu, but not limited to this.
The first blue-light chip 64 has a monochromatic emission spectrum of a first blue-light band; the second blue-light chip 65 has a monochromatic emission spectrum of a second blue-light band; the third blue-light chip 66 has a monochromatic emission spectrum of a third blue-light band. The first package colloidal 67 is used to cover and package the first blue-light chip 64; the second package colloidal 68 is used to cover and package the second blue-light chip 65; the third package colloidal 69 is used to cover and package the third blue-light chip 66.
It should be noticed that the yellow-light phosphor YP mixed in the second package colloidal 68 can convert a part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 65 into a monochromatic emission spectrum of a yellow-light band, and then mixed with another part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band to generate a white light. Since the LED apparatus 6 is cooperated with the green color filter GF, the white light emitted from the second package colloidal 68 will pass through the green color filter GF and converted into a green light.
In addition, the red-light phosphor RP mixed in the third package colloidal 69 can also completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band of the third blue-light chip 66 into a monochromatic emission spectrum of a red-light band; that is to say, the spectrum of the light emitted from the third package colloidal 69 will be concentrated in the red-light band, and the blue-light of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light chip 66 will not be emitted from the third package colloidal 69. In order to reach the complete conversion of the spectrum, in a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the red-light phosphor RP can be adjusted to a suitable range, or the composition of the red-light phosphor RP can be suitably adjusted. And, the third blue-light chip 66 can be also replaced by a red-light chip to generate a monochromatic emission spectrum of a red-light band.
In this embodiment, in the LED apparatus 6 suitable used in the hybrid field sequential color display, the first blue-light chip 64, the second blue-light chip 65, and the third blue-light chip 66 disposed in the first region S1, the second region S2, and the third region S3 respectively emit the monochromatic emission spectra of the first blue-light band, the second blue-light band, and the third blue-light band in order at a specific time, wherein a part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band emitted from the second blue-light chip 65 will be converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the yellow-light band by the yellow-light phosphor YP (or the yellow-light and red-light phosphor, the green-light and red-light phosphor) mixed in the second package colloidal 68, and then mixed with another part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band to generate the white light. Then, a part of the white light will pass through the green color filter GF and converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of a green-light band. And, the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band of the third blue-light chip 66 can be completely converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the red-light band by the red-light phosphor RP mixed in the third package colloidal 69. The third blue-light chip 66 can be also replaced by a red-light chip to generate a monochromatic emission spectrum of a red-light band. Because the color sequence switching rate among the first blue-light band, the white light, the green-light band, and the red-light band is faster than the perceiving frequency (60 Hz) of human eyes, human brain will superpose the screen effects to feel the full-color screen due to the vision persistence effect, and the color break-up (CBU) phenomenon can be reduced by the generated four-color image to improve the quality of the displayed image.
Above all, it can be concluded in the LED apparatus 6 suitable used in the hybrid field sequential color display, the white-light source is formed by a single blue-light chip cooperated with a yellow-light phosphor (or a yellow-light and red-light phosphor, a green-light and red-light phosphor) and the white-light source will be converted into a green light by a green color filter. It is not necessary to drive the chips at the same time to mix the red light, the blue light, and the green light into the white light. Therefore, lm/W of the LED apparatus 6 can be increased to be 80.8˜86.9, that is to say, the overall efficiency value of the LED apparatus 6 is 23%˜32% higher than that of the LED apparatus 3 shown in
It should be mentioned that the LED apparatus 6 suitable used in the hybrid field sequential color display in this embodiment has to cooperate with a color filter to function normally. In this embodiment, the color filter of the hybrid field sequential color display is the green color filter which is a color filter having single color, and the green color filter is not shown on all regions of the color filter, it is only partially shown on the color filter. In other words, the green color filter only corresponds to the white-light region of the LED apparatus 6. Therefore, the LED apparatus 6 having white light can cooperate with the color filter of single color to form the image of blue, green, and red. However, this invention is not limited to this, the color filters having different designed colors can cooperate with the LED apparatus 6 having partition structure to form the image of different color combinations. When the LED apparatus of the invention is used in the CS-LCD, the structures of the LED apparatus 3˜5 shown in

The first dividing structure 72 and the second dividing structure 73 are disposed in the containing space, and the first dividing structure 72 and the second dividing structure 73 divide the containing space into a first region S1, a second region S2, and a third region S3. In a preferred embodiment, the first dividing structure 72 and the second dividing structure 73 are thinner than the sidewall of the cup structure 71; therefore, the regions can be closer to obtain better light-mixing effect. Wherein, the first blue-light chip 74 and the first package colloidal 77 are disposed in the first region S1; the second blue-light chip 75 and the second package colloidal 78 are disposed in the second region S2; the yellow-light phosphor YP is mixed into the second package colloidal 78; the third blue-light chip 76 and the third package colloidal 79 are disposed in the third region S3, and the green-light phosphor GP is mixed into the third package colloidal 79. In this embodiment, the first region S1 can form a blue light, the second region S2 can form a white light, and the third region S3 can form a green light. A red light can be formed by the white light of the second region S2 cooperating with the red color filter RF. Therefore, the LED apparatus of this embodiment can cooperate with a partial red color filter RF to be applied in the hybrid field sequential color display. It should be mentioned that the yellow-light phosphor YP mixed in the second package colloidal 78 can be replaced by a yellow-light and red-light phosphor or a green-light and red-light phosphor; that is to say, if a phosphor can cooperate with the blue-light chip to form a white light, it is suitable to be mixed in the second package colloidal 78.
It should be noticed that the yellow-light phosphor YP mixed in the second package colloidal 78 can convert a part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band of the second blue-light chip 75 into a monochromatic emission spectrum of a yellow-light band, and then mixed with another part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band to generate a white light. Since the LED apparatus 7 is cooperated with the red color filter RF, the white light emitted from the second package colloidal 78 will pass through the red color filter RF and converted into a red light.
In addition, the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the third package colloidal 79 can also completely convert the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band of the third blue-light chip 76 into a monochromatic emission spectrum of a green-light band; that is to say, the spectrum of the light emitted from the third package colloidal 79 will be concentrated in the green-light band, and the blue-light of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light chip 76 will not be emitted from the third package colloidal 79. In order to reach the complete conversion of the spectrum, in a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the green-light phosphor GP can be adjusted to a suitable range, or the composition of the green-light phosphor GP can be suitably adjusted.
In fact, the green-light phosphor GP can be silicate, oxynitride, lutetium aluminum oxide, sulfide, or calcium scandium oxide, but not limited to these cases. Wherein, the silicate can include (Ca,Sr,Ba)2SiO4:Eu; the oxynitride can include β-SiAlON:Eu; the lutetium aluminum oxide can include Lu3Al5O12:Ce; the sulfide can include (Ca,Sr,Ba)Ga2S4:Eu; the calcium scandium oxide can include CaSc2O4:Ce.
In this embodiment, in the LED apparatus 7 suitable used in the hybrid field sequential color display, the first blue-light chip 74, the second blue-light chip 75, and the third blue-light chip 76 disposed in the first region S1, the second region S2, and the third region S3 respectively emit the monochromatic emission spectra of the first blue-light band, the second blue-light band, and the third blue-light band in order at a specific time, wherein a part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band emitted from the second blue-light chip 75 will be converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the yellow-light band by the yellow-light phosphor YP (or the yellow-light and red-light phosphor, the green-light and red-light phosphor) mixed in the second package colloidal 78, and then mixed with another part of the monochromatic emission spectrum of the second blue-light band to generate the white light. Then, a part of the white light will pass through the red color filter RF and converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of a red-light band. And, the monochromatic emission spectrum of the third blue-light band of the third blue-light chip 76 can be completely converted into the monochromatic emission spectrum of the green-light band by the green-light phosphor GP mixed in the third package colloidal 79. Because the color sequence switching rate among the first blue-light band, the white light, the red-light band, and the green-light band is faster than the perceiving frequency (60 Hz) of human eyes, human brain will superpose the screen effects to feel the fill-color screen due to the vision persistence effect, and the color break-up (CBU) phenomenon can be reduced by the generated four-color image to improve the quality of the displayed image.
In this embodiment, the color filter of the hybrid field sequential color display is the red color filter which is a color filter having single color, and the red color filter is not shown on all regions of the color filter, it is only partially shown on the color filter. In other words, the red color filter only corresponds to the white-light region of the LED apparatus 7. Therefore, the LED apparatus 7 having white light can cooperate with the color filter of single-color to form the image of blue, green, and red. However, this invention is not limited to this, the color filters having different designed colors can cooperate with the LED apparatus 7 having partition structure to form the image of different color combinations.
