Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor display devices, in particular to a digitally driven micro light-emitting diode semiconductor display device. Background technique [0002] Light-emitting diode (LED) display technology based on non-organic light-emitting materials has been widely used in various industries. Most of the existing LEDs are based on sapphire, with a single pixel pitch of more than 100 microns, and are mainly used for medium and large-sized screens. In the field of wearable near-eye display and projection display, displays with smaller physical area, higher integration and higher resolution are expected. Existing LED microdisplays based on monocrystalline silicon are still in the experimental stage, and the pixel pitch is more than 30 microns, which cannot well meet the above requirements. Further, the existing silicon-based LED driving technology follows the liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) or organic light-emitting-on...
