Samsung patents display tech using silicon particles to boost light

Samsung describes a light-emitting element that uses a light source to create a specific color of light. It includes a layer that changes that light to a different color, along with tiny single-crystal silicon particles that scatter the original light to help extract more of it.

Why it mattersThis design aims to make displays brighter or more efficient by better utilizing the light produced by the element.

In the filing’s own words

Provided are a light-emitting element and a display apparatus, each of which may extract more wavelength-converted light. The light-emitting element may include a light source for emitting light in a first wavelength region, and a wavelength conversion layer including a wavelength conversion material for converting light in the first wavelength region into light in a second wavelength region, and a plurality of single-crystal silicon particles for scattering light in the first wavelength region.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A light-emitting element comprising: a light source configured to emit light in a first wavelength region; and a wavelength conversion layer comprising: a wavelength conversion material configured to convert light in the first wavelength region into light in a second wavelength region; and a plurality of single-crystal silicon particles configured to scatter light in the first wavelength region.
