DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] In the related art, when manufacturing the Micro-LED backplane, it is necessary to form a first metal electrode line on the substrate, transfer the Micro-LED to the first metal electrode line, and then form an insulating layer and a second metal electrode line. However, since there is no conduction between the second metal electrode line and the Micro-LED, it is also necessary to plate an ITO film, and make holes in the insulating layer at the top of the Micro-LED and the second metal electrode line, and use ITO to achieve conduction between the second metal line and the Micro-LED. However, such a manufacturing process is relatively complicated, resulting in an increase in the manufacturing cost of the Micro-LED backplane. At the same time, the ITO film is a semi-transparent film, which will absorb the brightness of the Micro-LED to a certain extent, resulting in a decrease in the display brightness of the Micro-LED backplane. The presence of the ITO film will also affect the resolution of the entire display backplane.

[0046] In view of this, the present application provides a backplane, a backlight module, and a display device. By arranging a first metal electrode line, a micro-light-emitting diode, a first flat layer, a second metal electrode line, and a second flat layer on a substrate, since the second metal electrode line surrounds the side wall of the first semiconductor layer covering the micro-light-emitting diode, an electrical connection between the second metal electrode line and the micro-light-emitting diode is achieved, and there is no need to arrange an ITO film to connect the second metal electrode line and the micro-light-emitting diode, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the backplane. At the same time, since there is no ITO film layer to block it, the display brightness of the backplane is improved.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a backplane disclosed in an embodiment of the present application includes, from bottom to top of the backplane, a substrate 10, a first metal electrode line 11, a micro-light-emitting diode 13, a first flat layer 14, a second metal electrode line 15 and a second flat layer 16.

[0049] Specifically, the substrate 10 may be a glass substrate, a PCT substrate or an FPC substrate.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the first metal electrode line 11 is arranged on the substrate 10, and a plurality of the first metal electrode lines 11 are arranged, and the plurality of first metal electrode lines 11 are parallel to each other. At the same time, a bonding metal layer 12 is formed on the first metal electrode line 11, and the material of the bonding metal layer 12 can be tin. When the micro-LED 13 is transferred, the micro-LED 13 is bonded to the bonding metal layer 12, so that the micro-LED 13 can be better fixedly connected to the first metal electrode line 11, thereby improving the yield of the backplane.

[0051] Reference Figure 2As shown, the micro-LED 13 is arranged on the first metal electrode line 11, and the micro-LED 13 includes a first semiconductor layer 131, a light-emitting layer 132, and a second semiconductor layer 133 that are stacked. Specifically, the projection area of ​​the first semiconductor layer 131 on the substrate 10 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the light-emitting layer 132 on the substrate 10, and the projection area of ​​the first semiconductor layer 131 on the substrate 10 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the second semiconductor layer 133 on the substrate 10, that is, the orthographic projection of the first semiconductor layer 131 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second semiconductor layer 133 on the substrate 10, so that the normal light emission of the micro-LED 13 and the conduction efficiency of the micro-LED 13 can be ensured.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the first semiconductor layer 131 is N-GaN, and the material of the second semiconductor layer 133 is P-GaN. In this way, when manufacturing the micro-LED 13, the thickness of the first semiconductor layer 131 can be greater than the thickness of the second semiconductor layer 133, thereby increasing the overlap effect between the first semiconductor layer 131 and the second metal electrode line 15, which is more conducive to the conduction of the first semiconductor layer 131. The light-emitting layer 132 is a multi-layer quantum well light-emitting structure, and the first semiconductor layer 131 and the second semiconductor layer 133 realize the connection between the micro-LED 13 and the circuit, so that the light-emitting layer 132 emits light.

[0053] The second semiconductor layer 133 is electrically connected to the first metal electrode line 11 , and a matching metal layer 134 is provided on the surface of the second semiconductor layer 133 close to the first metal electrode line 11 . The material of the matching metal layer may be tin, so that the micro-LED 13 can be bonded to the bonding metal layer 12 .

[0054] In practical applications, the shape of the micro-LED 13 can be stepped or truncated. The micro-LED 13 includes a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface. The first surface is the side of the micro-LED away from the substrate, and the second surface is the side of the micro-LED close to the substrate. The first surface and the second surface are parallel to each other, and the first surface and the second surface are connected through the side surface. The angle between the side surface and the second surface is set to 45°-70° to ensure that the second metal electrode line 15 will not be broken when the second metal electrode line 15 is formed.

[0055] In this embodiment, the micro LED 13 is in a truncated cone shape, and the angle between the side surface of the micro LED 13 and the second surface is 60°.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the first planar layer 14 covers the first metal electrode line 11 , and the first planar layer 14 covers the light emitting layer 132 and the second semiconductor layer 133 of the micro LED 13 , and the first planar layer 14 at least partially overlaps the first semiconductor layer 131 .

[0057] Specifically, the thickness of the first flat layer 14 from the surface away from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10 is greater than the thickness of the light-emitting layer 132 from the surface away from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10, so that the first flat layer 14 can cover the light-emitting layer 132, so that the first flat layer forms protection for the light-emitting layer 132, and the micro-LED 13 can emit light normally, while insulating the first metal electrode line 11 and the second metal electrode line 15. The material of the first flat layer 14 is selected to be an insulating material that can block light, such as black photoresist, resin or UV glue, so that the crosstalk between the Micro-LEDs is reduced when emitting light.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second metal electrode line 15 is arranged on the first flat layer 14, and a plurality of second metal electrode lines 15 are also arranged, and the plurality of second metal electrode lines 15 are parallel to each other, and the second metal electrode line 15 is perpendicular to the first metal electrode line 11. The second metal electrode line 15 overlaps at least partially with the first semiconductor layer 131 of the micro-LED 13, so that the second metal electrode line 15 and the micro-LED 13 are electrically connected, and there is no need to set an ITO film, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the backplane and saving process costs. In addition, without the obstruction of the ITO film, the display brightness and resolution of the backplane can also be effectively improved. In addition, since the second metal electrode line 15 is opaque, it can also prevent the micro-LED 13 from leaking light from the side wall, further reducing the mutual crosstalk when the micro-LED 13 emits light.

[0059] It should be noted that when the micro-LED 13 is mounted upright, the first semiconductor layer 131 of the micro-LED 13 is N-GaN. At this time, since the thickness of the N-GAN layer is thicker, the film forming range of the second metal electrode line 15 surrounding and wrapped in the N-GAN layer is wider, and it is easier to form the film; when the micro-LED 13 is inverted, the first semiconductor layer 131 is a P-GAN layer, and the second metal electrode line 15 can also be electrically connected to the P-GAN layer.

[0060] The second planarizing layer 16 covers the second metal electrode line 15 and serves as an etching barrier and prevents the second metal electrode line 15 from being oxidized. The second planarizing layer 16 can be made of an organic insulating material, such as a resin or UV glue; or an inorganic insulating film, such as a SiO2 film or a SiNx film.

[0061] Specifically, the side walls of the first semiconductor layer 131 are sequentially covered with the second metal electrode lines 15 and the second flat layer 16 from the inside to the outside, and in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the heights of the second metal electrode lines 15 and the second flat layer 16 on the side walls of the first semiconductor layer 131 are lower than the height of the first semiconductor layer 131, that is, the side of the micro-LED 13 away from the substrate 10 is exposed, so that the micro-LED 13 emits light therefrom.

[0062] After adopting the above-mentioned backplane structure, since the second metal electrode line 15 surrounds the side wall of the first semiconductor layer 131 covering the micro-light-emitting diode 13, the electrical connection between the second metal electrode line 15 and the micro-light-emitting diode 13 is achieved, and there is no need to set an ITO film to connect the second metal electrode line 15 and the micro-light-emitting diode 13, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the backplane. At the same time, since there is no ITO film layer to block it, the display brightness of the backplane is improved.

[0063] In one embodiment, in order to further protect the backplane, a protective film layer may be formed on the second flat layer 16. The material of the protective film layer may be an organic insulating material, such as a resin or UV glue; or an inorganic insulating film, such as a SiO2 film layer or a SiNx film layer. In addition, the thickness of the protective film layer from the side away from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10 is less than the thickness of the first semiconductor layer 131 from the side away from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10, so that the protective film layer will not block the light emitted by the micro-LED 13.

[0064] In one embodiment, in order to reduce the contact resistance between the second metal electrode line 15 and the first semiconductor layer 131, an ohmic contact layer can be set between the second metal electrode line 15 and the first semiconductor layer 131, so as to improve the display brightness of the back panel and reduce power consumption. The material of the ohmic contact layer can be Ni / Au, etc.

[0065] Embodiment 2

[0066] Figure 4 A flow chart showing the steps of a method for preparing a backplane is shown. Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a backplane, the method comprising:

[0067] Step 201: Provide a substrate 10.

[0068] Specifically, the substrate 10 may be a glass substrate, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0069] Step 202 : forming a first metal electrode line 11 on the substrate 10 .

[0070] Specifically, a first metal electrode line 11 is formed on the back substrate by a film-forming yellow photolithography process, and a plurality of first metal electrode lines 11 are arranged on the first metal electrode line 11, and the plurality of first metal electrode lines 11 are parallel to each other; then a bonding metal layer 12 is formed on the first metal electrode line 11 by a film-forming lift-off process, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.

[0071] Step 203: Transfer the micro-LED 13 to the first metal electrode line 11, the micro-LED 13 includes a first semiconductor layer 131, a light-emitting layer 132 and a second semiconductor layer 133 which are stacked, the projection area of ​​the first semiconductor layer 131 on the substrate 10 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the light-emitting layer 132 on the substrate 10, the projection area of ​​the first semiconductor layer 131 on the substrate 10 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the second semiconductor layer 133 on the substrate 10, and the second semiconductor layer 133 is electrically connected to the first metal electrode line 11.

[0072] Specifically, a bonding metal layer 12 is formed on the first metal electrode line 11, and the micro light emitting diode 13 is transferred to the bonding metal layer 12 through a transfer process, so that the micro light emitting diode 13 is bonded to the bonding metal layer 12, thereby realizing electrical connection between the micro light emitting diode 13 and the first metal electrode line 11. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 shown.

[0073] Step 204 : forming a first planar layer 14 on the first metal electrode line 11 , the first planar layer 14 covers the light emitting layer 132 and the second semiconductor layer 133 of the micro LED 13 , and the first planar layer 14 at least partially overlaps the first semiconductor layer 131 .

[0074] Specifically, a first flat layer 14 is formed on the first metal electrode line 11 by a Slit or spin coating process. The material of the first flat layer 14 may be an insulating material such as a black photoresist, a resin or a UV glue. Then, the first flat layer 14 is etched by an ICP or Plasma etching process to expose the first semiconductor layer 131 of the micro-LED 13. The etching of the first flat layer 14 does not exceed the light-emitting layer 132, so that the first flat layer 14 surrounds the side wall of the second semiconductor layer 133 and the side wall of the light-emitting layer 132 covering the micro-LED 13, so as to protect the light-emitting layer 132. Fig.10 and Fig.11 shown.

[0075] Step 205 : forming a second metal electrode line 15 on the first planar layer 14 , wherein the second metal electrode line 15 at least partially overlaps with the first semiconductor layer 131 .

[0076] Step 206 : forming a second planarization layer 16 on the second metal electrode line 15 .

[0077] Specifically, the second metal electrode line 15 is formed in a full-surface shape by using a film forming process so that the second metal electrode line 15 completely covers the micro light-emitting diode 13. Fig.12 shown.

[0078] Then, a second flat layer 16 is formed on the second metal electrode line 15 by a Slit or spin coating process. The second flat layer 16 can be made of an organic insulating material, such as a resin or a UV glue. The second flat layer 16 can also be made of a non-polar insulating film, such as a SiO2 film layer or a SiNx film layer, and is formed on the second metal electrode line 15 by a CVD film forming process. Fig.13 shown.

[0079] The second flat layer 16 is etched to below the top surface of the micro-LED 13 and above the thickness of the second metal electrode line 15, that is, the second metal electrode line 15 on the side of the micro-LED 13 away from the substrate 10 is exposed. Fig.14 shown.

[0080] Then, the second metal electrode line 15 on the side of the micro-LED 13 away from the substrate 10 is etched by a wet etching process to expose the side of the micro-LED 13 away from the substrate 10, so as to realize normal light emission of the micro-LED 13. Fig.15 shown.

[0081] Since the second metal electrode line 15 surrounds the side wall of the first semiconductor layer 131 covering the micro-LED 13, the electrical connection between the second metal electrode line 15 and the micro-LED 13 is achieved. There is no need to set an ITO film to connect the second metal electrode line 15 and the micro-LED 13, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the backplane. At the same time, since there is no ITO film layer to block it, the display brightness of the backplane is improved.
