Description:
WAVELENGTH CONVERSION FILM AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME Inventors: Jie Cai, Shijun Zheng, Jeffrey R. Hammaker, Hiep Luu, Xinliang Ding, Tissa Sajoto, Jan Saska, and Peng Wang CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63/379,633, filed on October 14, 2022, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63/578,364, filed on August 23, 2023. FIELD The present disclosure relates to wavelength converting films and light-emitting display devices including the same. BACKGROUND Photoluminescent substances are materials that emit light after absorbing energy in the form of light or electricity. Photoluminescent substances may be classified as inorganic photoluminescent substances (or dyes), organic photoluminescent dyes, nanocrystal photoluminescent substances, and the like, depending on the components forming the photoluminescent substance and light emission mechanism. Recently, a variety of attempts to modify the spectrum of a light source using such photoluminescent substances have been described. Photoluminescent substances absorb specific wavelengths of light from a light source, convert this to light of a longer wavelength in a visible region, and emit the light. Depending on the light emission properties of the photoluminescent substance, the brightness, color purity, color gamut, etc., of the emitted light may be greatly enhanced. An inorganic photoluminescent substance may be formed with a parent compound such as a sulfide, an oxide or a nitride, and activator ions, and may be used in high-quality display apparatuses having excellent physical and chemical stability and high reproduction of color purity. However, there are disadvantages in that these inorganic photoluminescent substances are very high-priced, have low light emission efficiency, and the emission of light in a near ultraviolet or blue region of 400 nm or higher is limited. Quantum dot technology has achieved a high level of quantum efficiency and color gamut. However, cadmium-based quantum dots can be very toxic and are restricted in many countries due to health safety issues. In addition, some quantum dots have much lower quantum efficiency in converting blue LED light to green or red light. Furthermore, quantum dots can have a low stability when exposed to moisture and oxygen, often requiring expensive encapsulation processes. The cost of quantum dots may be high because it can be difficult to control the size uniformity during their production. Therefore, there is a need for new photoluminescent films having a high quantum efficiency, high color gamut output, and lower cost relative to quantum dot and other existing photoluminescent dye containing films. SUMMARY Some embodiments include a wavelength converting film comprising: a polymer matrix; a first photoluminescent dye, the first photoluminescent dye absorbing blue wavelength light and emitting green wavelength light with an emission spectrum having a full width half maximum of less than 40 nm; a second photoluminescent, the second photoluminescent dye absorbing blue wavelength light or green wavelength light and emitting red wavelength light with an emission spectrum having a full width half maximum of less than 55 nm; and light scattering centers; wherein the first photoluminescent dye, the second photoluminescent dye, and the light scattering centers are disposed within the polymer matrix.

In some embodiments, the BODIPY moiety is connected to an isoquinoline moiety with a linking group. In some embodiments, the BODIPY moiety is connected to a naphthalimide moiety with a linking group. Use of the term “may” or “may be” should be construed as shorthand for “is” or “is not” or, alternatively, “does” or “does not” or “will” or “will not,” etc. For example, the statement “the film may comprise scattering centers disposed within the polymer matrix” should be interpreted as, for example, “In some embodiments, the film comprises scattering centers disposed within the polymer matrix,” or “In some embodiments, the film does not comprise scattering centers disposed within the polymer matrix.” The term ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (more commonly known by the abbreviations Rec. 2020 or BT.2020) refers to a color display standard of the color gamut. The RGB primaries used by Rec. 2020 are equivalent to monochromatic light sources on the CIE 1931 spectral locus. The wavelength of the Rec.2020 primary colors is 630 nm for the red primary color, 532 nm for the green primary color, and 467 nm for the blue primary color. The Rec.2020 color space covers 75.8% (area within the determined triangle) of the CIE 1931 color space.

(SD-18), or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the first photoluminescent compound may absorb light from within the UV/blue absorption spectrum and emit light within the green emission spectrum, enhancing the perceived emitted green light. In other embodiments, the second photoluminescent compound may absorb light from within the green and/or blue absorption spectrum and emit light within the red emission spectrum, enhancing the perceived emitted red light. In some embodiments, the first and second photoluminescent dyes may absorb light from within the UV/blue absorption spectrum and emit light in other wavelengths, wherein the combined resultant light may be perceived as white light. In some examples, the perceived white light may have a color temperature described as cool. In some embodiments, the perceived white light may have a color temperature described as warm. In some embodiments, first photoluminescent dye and second photoluminescent dye may absorb about 60-70% of a light source emitting light within the blue spectrum. In some embodiments, the resultant white light comprises about 30-50% blue light, about 20-30% red light emitted from the wavelength converting film, and about 20-30% green light emitted from the wavelength converting film. The thickness of the film may be adjusted to tune the percentage of blue light absorbed by the wavelength converting film and the percentage of blue light that passes through the wavelength converting film to comprise the resultant white light. In some embodiments, the photoluminescent wavelength converting film may have any suitable thickness, such as less than about 500 µm, less than about 200 µm, or less than about 100 µm, such as about 1-20 µm, about 20-30 µm, about 30-40 µm, about 40-50 µm, about 50-80 µm, about 80-120 µm, about 120-200 µm, about 200-300 µm, or about 300-500 µm, or any thickness in a range bounded by any of these values. In some embodiments, the thickness of the wavelength converting film may be reduced or increased according to the Beer-Lambert law. In particular, the Beer-Lambert law may be used to derive the relationships between the thickness of the film and the concentration of the first photoluminescent dye and second photoluminescent dye to achieve about 60-70% of blue light emitting from a light source. In some embodiments, the dye concentration may be decreased, and the thickness may be increased to permit absorption of about 60-70% of the blue light. In some embodiments, the dye concentration may be increased, and the thickness may be decreased to permit absorption of about 60-70% of the blue light. In some embodiments, the photoluminescent wavelength converting film may have a suitable thickness of greater than about 20 µm and less than about 40 µm for most dye concentrations as shown in Table 1 of the Examples section below. In some embodiments, the length of the linking group can be tuned to optimize the solubility of the first photoluminescent dye and the second photoluminescent dye. In some embodiments, the solubility of the first photoluminescent dye and the second photoluminescent dye may be greater than 0.15%. In some embodiments, the solubility of the first photoluminescent dye and the second photoluminescent dye may be about 0.03%-0.8%, about 0.8%-2%, or about 2%-3%, or a solubility in a range bounded by any of these ranges. The ratio of the amounts of the first photoluminescent dye and the second photoluminescent dye may be adjusted to tune the color properties of the photoluminescent wavelength converting film. For example the weight ratio of the first photoluminescent dye to the second photoluminescent dye may be about 0.01-100 (1 mg of the first photoluminescent dye and about 100 mg of the second photoluminescent dye is a ratio of 0.01), about 0.01-0.2, about 0.2-0.4, about 0.4-0.6, about 0.6-0.8, about 0.8-1, about 1-2, about 2-3, about 3-4, about 4-5, about 5-6, about 6-7, about 7-8, about 8-9, about 9-10, about 10-20, about 20-40, about 40-70, about 70-100, about 0.43, about 0.91, about 1.8, about 3.0, or any ratio in a range bounded by any of these values. In some embodiments, the film may comprise scattering centers disposed within the polymer matrix. In some embodiments, the scattering centers may be solid particles comprising scattering materials having a refractive index (RI) different than the refractive index of the polymer matrix material. Scattering material may be materials whose refractive index is different from RI of polymer matrix. Scattering material may be useful in increasing external quantum yield, e.g., by reducing total internal reflection. In some embodiments, the difference in RI between the polymer matrix material and the light scattering material may be at least about 0.05, about 0.1, at least about 0.2, at least about 0.3, at least about 0.4, or at least about 0.5, up to about 1 or about 2. In some embodiments, the scattering material may be silicone beads. In some embodiments, the scattering centers may comprise air voids defined within the polymer matrix. In some embodiments, the scattering centers may have an average diameter of between 1 micron (µm) and 10 microns (µm), about 1-2 µm, about 2-3 µm, about 3-4 µm, about 4-5 µm, about 5-6 µm, about 6-7 µm, about 7-8 µm, about 8-9 µm, about 9-10 µm, or about any value in a ranged bounded by any of these values. In some embodiments, the scattering centers may be substantially uniformly dispersed within the polymer matrix. In some embodiments, the top-level portion of the film, for example, the side distal to the blue light emitting source, may have greater than 50% of the scattering centers.

Preparation of polymer solution 25% PMMA polymer solution preparation Weigh 30 g PMMA polymer (grade unknown), add into a 250 mL glass jar. Use volumetric cylinder to measure 90 mL cyclopentanone or Toluene and add into same glass jar. Stir the solution with a stir bar on a stir station and heat at 50 ºC until fully dissolved. Preparation of dye-polymer solution 0.2mg FD-1, 0.16mg compound SD-3 and 150mg silicone particle (TSR9000, momentive). To the solution, add to 4mL of 25% PMMA solution. Rigorously mix solution by vortex for 1 minutes, followed by 15 minutes sonication, then stir on stir plate with mild speed. Film fabrication Individual dye-polymer film Basic optical property was evaluated based on a dye-polymer film. Dye with proper weight was dissolved in to 3 mL above 25% PMMA/Toluene solution to make a 2 mmol/L dye-polymer solution. The solution was rigorously mixed by vortex for 1 minutes, followed by 15 minutes sonication. Several 1’’x1’’ glass substrates were cleaned with soap water and air blown to dry. The glass substrate was then placed on spin coater holder and the dye-polymer solution was poured onto the glass substrate. Spin coat the film with a spin speed set to 1000 RPM for 20 seconds. Wet coating film was then dried at room temperature for 1 hour and heated at 130 ºC for 30 minutes. Green and red dye-polymer film In order to convert blue light to white light mixing with R, G, B color, both the green dye and the red dye were mixed into one film. Clean a 2’’x2’’ glass substrate with soap water and air blow to dry. The glass substrate was then placed on a spin coater holder and the dye-polymer solution was poured on the glass substrate. Spin coat the film with a spin speed set to 1000 RPM. Wet coating film was then dry at room temperature for 1 hour and heat at 130 ºC for 30 minutes. Once the film is dry, separate film from glass by immerse in water for 5 minutes. Additional examples of films were made with varying the weight of the first photoluminescent dye, the second photoluminescent dye, the scattering particles, and/or polymer matrix materials as set forth in the Table 1 below. Table 1 Characterization of dye compound Absorption and emission spectra Absorbance and emission spectra of individual dye in polymer film were measured by UV-vis (Shimadzu uv-vis 3600 spectrophotometer) and Fluorolog 3 (Horiba) respectively. Dye absolute quantum yield Absolut quantum yield of the dye film was measured by Absolute PL quantum yield spectrometer C11347 (Hamamatsu) at wavelength 450nm. Characterization of blue light conversion WLC film External quantum yield of WLC film on LED backlight device The external quantum yield and other optical characteristics of WLC film on LED backlight display application were tested using the test apparatus configured as set forth in FIG. 4. BEF stands for brightness enhancement film, Vikuiti BEF (3M). DBEF is polarizer/enhancement film (3M). A blue LED edge lit backlight was part of a kindle device. MCPD stands for multi-channel photon detection (MCPD-9800, Otsuka Electronics) EQE is calculated based on equation: Color gamut – BT.2020 ratio Color gamut is certain complete subset of colors. It can be represented by a triangle inside a chromaticity diagram. Three corners of the triangle are primary colors. More color a display is capable to show the large the area of the triangle will be, therefore wider gamut. BT.2020 is a gamut standard for UHD projectors and televisions recommended by ITU (International Telecommunication Union). Optical spectra measured by setup described in FIG. 4 was converted to the color gamut triangle in the CIE1931 chromaticity diagram, and triangle area was then estimated and divided by area of triangle of BT.2020 to obtain BT.2020 ratio mentioned here. The larger the ratio, the wider the color gamut of the WLC film. In order to fulfill wide color gamut, each primary color emission spectra shape should be as narrow as possible. Narrow spectra shape can be characterized as small FWHM of emission spectra. Comparative examples Table 2 below identifies comparative Examples 1 and 2 which are examples disclosed in U.S. Patent Application 63/001,924. As can be seen in Table 2, Example 1 has large color gamut (94% BT.2020 ratio), however the FWHM of its red emission spectra is 68nm, not too narrow. Example 2 gives a narrower FWHM of red emission spectra at the cost of smaller color gamut (88% BT.2020 ratio). Table 2 Examples Films in both the examples list in Table 4 below and the comparative examples listed in Table 2 above were fabricated by the method described in the section above titled “Film fabrication.” Examples 3 thru 16 of Table 5 were produced using the dyes identified in Table 3 and Table 4. All green color emitting dyes appeared have a FWHM of less than 25 nm, and most red color emitting dyes have a FWHM of less than 44 nm. All dyes have an internal quantum yield greater than 80%, some have greater than 95% quantum yield. Permeance of these Examples 3 thru 16 of Table 5 were evaluated by the method described in the section above titled “Characterization of blue light conversion WLC film.” The majority of the examples show an EQE greater than 51%, an average increase of 10% compared to the comparative examples of Table 2. This is mainly contributed by the internal quantum yield of the dyes in Table 3 and Table 4. In addition, all films have a FWHM of green emission spectra less than 33 nm, and a FWHM of red emission spectra less than 63 nm, and a BT.2020 ratio greater than 88%. Table 3 Table 4 Table 5
