Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure.


Terms such as “first”, “second” in the disclosure are used to distinguish between similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or order.


The terms “include” and “have” and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, a method, a system, a product, or a device that includes a series of units, is not necessarily limited to expressly listed units, but may include other units that are not expressly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.


In the present disclosure, when an element such as a layer, a film, a region, or a substrate is “in”, “on” the other element, it can be directly on the other element or there is an intermediate element between them.


In the present disclosure. “a quantum dot layer” or “a functional layer” does not represent it only has one-layered structure, its internal structure may be a multilayer.


The terms “about” or “approximately” in the present disclosure means within one or more standard deviation of the value stated, such as within +10%, or ±5%.


Term “angle of incidence” or “incident angle” in the specification and claims in the present disclosure refers to the angle between the incident light and normal line to the light incident surface.


The present disclosure provides a quantum dot light-emitting device, an example as shown in FIG. 2A, including a concave frame 100, a light-emitting diode chip 200, a functional layer 300 and a quantum dot layer 400. The concave frame 100 has a chip mounting region, the light-emitting diode chip 200 is disposed in the chip mounting region of the concave frame 100. The light-emitting diode chip 200 is adapted to emit a first light, the quantum dot layer 400 is disposed on the light exit direction of the light-emitting diode chip 200, the functional layer 300 is disposed between the light-emitting diode chip 200 and the quantum dot layer 400, the functional layer 300 is a first functional layer 3001 or a second functional layer 3002.


The first functional layer 3001 has a reflectivity greater than or equal to R with respect to the first light having angle of incidence less than or equal to i, and the first functional layer 3001 has a reflectivity less than R with respect to the first light having angle of incidence greater than i, wherein R≤90%, i>0°.


The second functional layer 3002 is a reflective polarizing film layer, the second functional layer 3002 reflects light having a first polarized state in the first light and transmits light having a second polarized state in the first light, the light having the first polarized state is orthogonal to the light having the second polarized state.


One effect of the functional layer 300 is to make the intensity of the first light reaching to the respective region of the quantum dot layer 400 relatively uniform, thereby improving the light resistance of the quantum dot layer 400. The functional layer 300 may be a multilayered structure, it may be a combination of the first functional layer 3001 and the second functional layers 3002.


Typically, the light pattern emitted from the LED chip is near-Lambertian light source. FIG. 3 shows a light distribution curve of the LED chip tested by the inventors. When the quantum dot layer is disposed directly above the LED chip, the light intensity of the center of the quantum dot layer is stronger than the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer. The light-resistant capability of each region of the quantum dot layer is consistent, therefore, in the conventional package structure, when the central region of the quantum dot layer reaches a tolerable illumination limit, the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer does not reach the tolerable illumination limit, which means the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer is exposed to more light, thus it tends to age and has a reduced lifetime.


In some embodiments, the package cavity 101 has a reflective inner wall. When a first functional layer 3001 is disposed between the quantum dot layer 400 and the LED chip 200, as shown in FIG. 2B, reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the first light having smaller incident angle is big, reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the first light having bigger incident angle is small, and the incident angle of the first light emitted from the LED chip 200 toward the central region of the quantum dot layer 400 onto the first functional layer 3001 is smaller, and the incident angle of the first light emitted from the LED chip 200 toward the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer 400 onto the first functional layer 3001 is bigger, therefore, the first light toward the central region of the quantum dot layer 400 is more reflected by the first functional layer 3001, the reflected light will come back to the package cavity 101 and be reflected by the reflective inner wall for several times, after such multiple reflection, the central region and the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer 400 reach a similar light intensity, which helps to improve the aging resistance and bleaching resistance of the quantum dot layer 400. In other embodiments, the package cavity 101 does not have the reflective inner wall, it can also reduce the light intensity of the central region, however, compared with the embodiment that has a reflective inner wall, its energy utilization efficiency is lower.


In other words, the light emitted from the LED chip 200 first passes through the first functional layer 3001, reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the smaller angle of incidence of the first light coming from the central region is big, reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the bigger angle of incidence of the first light coming from the peripheral region is small, after the first light passing through the first functional layer 3001, the central region and the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer 400 reach a similar light intensity.


In the present disclosure, the light reflected by the functional layer 300 is further reflected by the reflective inner wall of the concave frame 100, after multiple reflections, it can enter into the quantum dot layer 400 relatively uniformly from various directions, as shown in FIG. 2B.


In the present disclosure, when the second functional layer 3002 is disposed between the LED chip 200 and the quantum dot layer 400 as shown in FIG. 2C, the second functional layer 3002 can let the light having a second polarization state (dotted line shown in FIG. 2C) pass through, and let light having a first polarization state (dashed line shown in FIG. 2C) be reflected, thereby the light intensity in the central region of the quantum dot layer 400 can be relatively weakened. Meanwhile, the reflection of light having the first polarization state by the second functional layer makes the light having the first polarization state lose characteristic of single polarization, i.e. the light becomes circularly polarized light, light having the second polarization state in the reflected light can pass through the second functional layer 3002, light having the first polarization state in the reflected light will be further reflected by the second functional layer 3002, after multiple reflection, light intensity of the central region and the peripheral region of the quantum dot layer 400 can converge.


Further, the functional layer 300 may also function as insulation to prevent heat radiation generated by the LED chip 200 to the quantum dot layer 400, to improve the stability of the quantum dot layer 400.


In some embodiments, the first functional layer has an absorption rate less than 10% with respect to visible light, preferably less than 1%. Throughout the process of the optical reflection and transmission, the first functional layer 3001 absorbs very little visible light, thus the addition of the first functional layer 3001 will not substantially reduce the overall luminescence efficiency of the light-emitting device.


In some embodiments, R≥30%. Preferably, R≥60%. In some embodiments, R=40% or 50% or 60% or 70% or 80% or 90%.


In some embodiments, 0°i≤45°, preferably, 15°<i≤30°. In some embodiments, i≤60° or i≤50°.


In some embodiments, the material of the first functional layer 3001 is photonic crystal, the photonic crystal material is a kind of periodic ordered structure consisting of two or more materials with different refractive indexes (dielectric constants), also called photonic bandgap material. Visible light with frequency in the photonic band gap cannot propagate in the photonic crystal, Visible light with specific wavelength will be reflected, i.e., so as to produce a photonic crystal structural color. When the number of cycle layer is fewer, the reflectivity of the photonic crystal to light of different incident angles appears different (incident angle of increases, the reflection wavelength red-shifts) and the light is partially reflective and partially transmissive, as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 depicts a relation between the transmittance T of light with frequency in the band gap center of the photonic crystal and the cycle layer N of the photonic crystal in the literature (Yungao Cai et al., “Effects of the cycle layer number and incident angle on the band gap of one-dimensional photonic crystal”, Materials and Structures).


The first functional layer 3001 includes at least one photonic crystal layer. According to the Bragg' law of reflection, 2 dcosθ=nλ, when the wavelength of the first light is specific, the incident angle with which the enhanced light reflection occurs is related to the thickness of the photonic crystal layer


Photonic crystal layer includes one or more of one-dimensional photonic crystal, two-dimensional photonic crystal and three-dimensional photonic crystal. Photonic crystal may be formed by alternative deposition or spin coating of nanomaterials of different refractive indexes such as silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, polymethyl methacrylate. Two-dimensional photonic crystal may be self-assembled stack of zinc oxide nanowires, titanic nanowires. Three-dimensional photonic crystal may be self-assembled stack of polymethylmethacrylate nanospheres, silica nanoparticles, hollow silica nanospheres and the like. Of course, the one-dimensional photonic crystal, the two-dimensional photonic crystal, or the three-dimensional photonic crystal is not limited to those enumerated above. The average diameter of the nanomaterial of the photonic crystal layer is preferably 200-350 nm.


The thickness of each of the photonic crystal layer may be the same or different. By providing multiple photonic crystal layers with the same thickness, the reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the first light having particular incident angle can be increased. By providing multiple photonic crystal layers of different thickness, the first functional layer 3001 may have a strong reflection to the light having certain range of incident angle.


In some preferred embodiments, the material of the photonic crystal layer has an absorption rate less than 10% with respect to visible light.


In some embodiments, the wavelength of the first light is 400 nm-480 nm. Preferably, the first wavelength of light is 430 nm-470 nm.

Preferably, the first functional layer 3001 includes 1 to 4 layers of photonic crystal layer. The number of layers of the photonic crystal layer shall not be too big to avoid luminance decrease of the quantum dot light-emitting device.


In one particular embodiment, each photonic crystal layer in the first functional layer 3001 includes one-dimensional photonic crystal, the wavelength of the first light is 450 nm, in order to make the reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the first light having incident angle of 0°-30° relatively bigger, the first functional layer 300 may have a photonic crystal layer with thickness of 225 nm, a photonic crystal layer with thickness of 233 nm, and a photonic crystal layer with thickness of 260 nm. The photonic crystal layer with thickness of 225 nm can realize Bragg reflection to the first light having, incident angle of 0°, the photonic crystal layer with thickness of 233 nm can realize Bragg reflection to the first light having incident angle of 15°, the photonic crystal layer with thickness of 260 nm can realize Bragg reflection to the first light having incident angle of 30°. In some embodiments, in order to make the reflectivity of the first functional layer 3001 to the first light having incident angle of 0°-30° reach 60% or more, the first functional layer 3001 includes two layers of photonic crystal layer having a thickness of 225 nm, two layers of photonic crystal layer having a thickness of 233 nm, and two layers of photonic crystal layer having a thickness of 260 nm, i.e. the first functional layer 3001 includes a total of 6 layers of photonic crystal layer.

In some embodiments, encapsulating material or structure (not shown in figure) is disposed on the LED chip 200 to block external moisture and oxygen.


Part of the first light emitted from the LED chip 200 may emit toward the inner wall of the package cavity 101, since the package cavity 101 is capable of reflecting the first light, after the first light is reflected for multiple times, it finally can reach to the quantum dot layer 400, thereby reducing the loss of light energy.
