Abstract

A method for fabricating a backlight source includes determining an n-step MacAdam ellipse in a uniform chromaticity diagram, where n is an integer smaller than or equal to 3; and fabricating the backlight source according to chromaticity coordinates within the n-step MacAdam ellipse to cause chromaticity coordinates of light emitted from different ones of light-emitting diodes of the backlight source to be within the n-step MacAdam ellipse.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fabrication apparatus for a backlight source, comprising:
a determination device including a processor configured to determine an n-step MacAdam ellipse in a uniform chromaticity diagram, n being an integer smaller than or equal to 3; and
a fabrication device configured to fabricate the backlight source comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes according to chromaticity coordinates in the n-step MacAdam ellipse to cause chromaticity coordinates of light emitted from different ones of the light-emitting diodes of the backlight source to be within the n-step MacAdam ellipse,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine at least one initial ellipse according to the isothermal line segment and the intersection, each of the at least one initial ellipse having the intersection as a center point, and the two endpoints of the isothermal line segment being on each of the at least one initial ellipse;
match the at least one initial ellipse with an m-step MacAdam ellipse in the uniform chromaticity diagram to determine, from the at least one initial ellipse, a largest initial ellipse containing the m-step MacAdam ellipse, wherein n≤m≤7;
determine a chromaticity-region quadrilateral according to the largest initial ellipse, the two endpoints of the isothermal line segment forming a first vertex and a second vertex of the chromaticity-region quadrilateral, respectively, a point on the largest initial ellipse corresponding to a minimum abscissa of the largest initial ellipse in the uniform chromaticity diagram forming a third vertex of the chromaticity-region quadrilateral, and a point on the largest initial ellipse corresponding to a maximum abscissa of the largest initial ellipse in the uniform chromaticity diagram forming a fourth vertex of the chromaticity-region quadrilateral; and
determine the n-step MacAdam ellipse in the chromaticity-region quadrilateral.

2. The fabrication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine a target color temperature of a display device including the backlight source;
determine an intersection of an isothermal line segment of the target color temperature and a Planckian locus in the uniform chromaticity diagram; and
determine the n-step MacAdam ellipse according to the isothermal line segment and the intersection, the intersection being within the n-step MacAdam ellipse, and two endpoints of the isothermal line segment being on the n-step MacAdam ellipse.

3. The fabrication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the light-emitting diodes include at least wo light-emitting diodes that emit white light of different wavelengths, and
the at least two light-emitting diodes have different red light components, different green light components, and different blue light components in the white light.

4. The fabrication apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:
each two neighboring light-emitting diodes of the at least two light-emitting diodes emit white light of different wavelengths.

5. The fabrication apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:
among a plurality of chromaticity coordinates of white light emitted from the light-emitting diodes in the uniform chromaticity diagram, a number of chromaticity coordinates located on one side of the Planckian locus near to a lateral axis of the uniform chromaticity diagram is larger than a number of chromaticity coordinates located on another side of the Planckian locus farther away from the lateral axis of the uniform chromaticity diagram.
