Description

Capillary Loading Device {APPARATUS FOR LOADING CAPILLARY}

An embodiment relates to a capillary loading device.

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that convert electricity into ultraviolet rays, visible rays, and infrared rays by using the characteristics of compound semiconductors. They are mainly used in home appliances, remote controllers, and large electric sign boards.

The high-intensity LED light source is used as an illumination light. It has high energy efficiency, long life and low replacement cost. It is resistant to vibration and shock, and it does not require the use of toxic substances such as mercury. It is replacing incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps.

Also, the LED is very advantageous as a light source such as a medium and large-sized LCD TV and a monitor. Compared to CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp), which is mainly used in LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), it has excellent color purity, low power consumption, and easy miniaturization, Is in progress.

Recently, a number of techniques for implementing white light using quantum dots (QDs) using blue LEDs and emitting red light and green light as phosphors have been introduced. This is because white light implemented using quantum dots has high luminance and excellent color reproducibility.

Nevertheless, when applied to the LED backlight unit, the need for research to reduce the light loss that can occur and to improve the color uniformity still remains.

In order to accommodate such a quantum dot, a capillary tube or the like may be used, and a resin composition in which the quantum dots are uniformly dispersed may be injected into the capillary tube.
