Problems solved by technology

A display screen requires a large number of LED particles, but the color difference of LEDs in different production batches is large, and due to the size limitation of LED particles, the resolution at close range is low, resulting in the narrowing of the application range of LED display screens
Although the method of externally coating phosphor powder is low in cost and simple in process, the phosphor powder is prone to failure, resulting in a reduction in the life of the entire LED, and the luminous efficiency of the phosphor powder limits the overall luminous efficiency of the LED.
[0003] A published patent (application number CN200410009267.3, quantum dot active region structure and epitaxial growth method of wide-spectrum white light LED) proposes a method of using quantum dots to manufacture white light LEDs, which uses self-organized growth methods to grow quantum dots, The size of quantum dots fluctuates randomly and the spectrum is wide, but the control requirements for quantum dot growth are high, the wavelength is easy to shift, and the purity of color cannot be controlled
A published patent (application number CN 200410000148.1, light-emitting diode structure) proposes to use quantum wells with different wavelengths to be stacked in the active layer to emit red, green, and blue light at the same time to manufacture white LEDs. However, different quantum wells interfere with each other, and the wavelength is affected by the current and voltage. The influence is difficult to control, and the color mixing of light is difficult to achieve the desired effect

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light-emitting element, in particular to a multi-source integrated color-adjustable light-emitting element and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of optoelectronic devices. Background technique [0002] As a solid-state light source, LED has many advantages such as small size, long life, high brightness, low energy consumption, no secondary pollution, and easy integration. As a green lighting source, it has gradually entered general lighting from the field of high-end lighting. Monochromatic LEDs have been commercialized, but because of their single color, white light must be emitted through a combination of multiple LEDs, such as the three-primary color method and the blue-yellow light mixing method, or the externally coated phosphor stimulated emission of other color light methods. The combination method of multiple LEDs has flexible luminous colors, but it is difficult to mass-produce, and it is...
