Abstract

A blue light emissions management system includes a blue light emitting device that is configured to emit blue light. The blue light emissions management system also includes a display screen stack that is located adjacent the blue light emitting device and that is configured to receive blue light emitted from the blue light emitting diode. The display screen stack includes a doped layer that includes a doping material in a doping amount that configures the doped layer to convert a first portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light.

Claims (34)

1. A blue light emissions management system, comprising:

a blue light emitting device that is configured to emit blue light; and

a display screen stack that is located adjacent the blue light emitting device and that is configured to receive blue light emitted from the blue light emitting device, wherein the display screen stack includes a first doped layer that includes a first doping material in a doping amount that configures the first doped layer to convert a first portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light, and wherein the first doped layer included in the display screen stack has a thickness of no more than 20 nanometers.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display screen stack includes a blue filter layer that is configured to filter a second portion of the blue light that passes through the first doped layer.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the blue filter layer is configured to reflect a third portion of the blue light that passes through the first doped layer back through the first doped layer.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the display screen stack includes a reflective layer that is located opposite the first doped layer from the blue filter layer, and wherein the reflective layer is configured to reflect, back through the first doped layer, the third portion of the blue light that was reflected by the blue filter layer back through the first doped layer.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a polarizer layer that includes the first doped layer includes a single Tri-Acetate Cellulose (TAC) layer.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display screen stack includes a second doped layer that includes a second doping material in a doping amount that configures the second doped layer to convert a second portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light, and wherein the second doped layer includes a prismatic light guide layer.

7. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

a processing system;

a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to generate display information; and

a display device that is coupled to the processing system and that is configured to receive the display information, wherein the display device includes:

a blue light emitting device that is configured to emit blue light in order to provide for display of the display information; and

a display screen stack that is located adjacent the blue light emitting device and that is configured to receive blue light emitted from the blue light emitting device, wherein the display screen stack includes a polarizer layer that includes a PolyVinyl Alcohol (PVA) protective sub-layer that is positioned between a Tri-Acetate Cellulose (TAC) sub-layer and a first doped sub-layer that includes a first doping material in a doping amount that configures the first doped layer to convert a first portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light, and wherein the TAC sub-layer is configured to receive the blue light before the first doped sub-layer.

8. The IHS of claim 7 , wherein the display screen stack includes a blue filter layer that is configured to filter a second portion of the blue light prior to the blue light passing through the first doped sub-layer.

9. The IHS of claim 8 , wherein the blue filter layer includes a brightness enhancement film layer.

10. The IHS of claim 7 , wherein the first doped sub-layer has a thickness of no more than 20 nanometers.

11. The IHS of claim 7 , wherein the polarizer layer includes an optically clear adhesive sub-layer, and wherein the first doped sub-layer is positioned between the optically clear adhesive sub-layer and the PVA protective sub-layer.

12. The IHS of claim 7 , wherein the (TAC) sub-layer is doped with a blue filtering doping material.

13. The IHS of claim 7 , wherein the display screen stack includes a second doped layer that includes a second doping material in a doping amount that configures the second doped layer to convert a second portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light, and wherein the second doped layer includes a prismatic light guide layer.

14. A method for managing blue light emissions from a display device, comprising:

emitting, by a blue light emitting device in a display device, blue light;

receiving, by a display screen stack that is located adjacent the blue light emitting device in the display device, the blue light emitted from the blue light emitting diode; and

converting, by a first doped layer in the display screen stack that includes a first doping material in a doping amount and that has a thickness of no more than 20 nanometers, a first portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light that is based on the doping amount of the first doping material.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

filtering, by a blue filter layer in the display screen stack, a second portion of the blue light that passes through the first doped layer.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the blue filter layer includes a brightness enhancement film layer.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

reflecting, by the blue filter layer, a third portion of the blue light that passes through the first doped layer back through the first doped layer.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

reflecting, by a reflective layer that is located in the display screen stack opposite the first doped layer from the blue filter layer and back through the first doped layer, the third portion of the blue light that was reflected by the blue filter layer back through the first doped layer.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein a polarizer layer that includes the first doped layer includes a single Tri-Acetate Cellulose (TAC) layer.

20. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

converting, by a second doped layer in the display screen stack that includes a second doping material in a doping amount, a second portion of the blue light received by the display screen stack to at least one of red light and green light that is based on the doping amount of the second doping material, and wherein the second doped layer includes a prismatic light guide layer.
