[0039] According to the first aspect of the present application, a Fan-out based Mirco-LED display screen is proposed.
[0040] Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a Mirco-LED display screen according to Embodiment 1 of the present application is shown, Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the structure of the Micro-LED display screen includes an LED chip array 100, a substrate 200 and a TFT array 300 from top to bottom. The LED chip array 100 includes a plurality of LED chips bonded to the upper side of the substrate 200; the TFT array 300 includes a plurality of TFTs bonded to the lower side of the substrate 200; and the substrate 200 is a double-layer PCB board using a Fan-out process.
[0041] For details, please refer to Figure 1The structure of the LED chip includes a substrate 1 and a functional layer grown under the substrate 1. In this embodiment, the substrate 1 is a sapphire substrate 1. In other embodiments, the substrate 1 may also be made of other materials. The functional layer includes an N-type gallium nitride layer 2, a multi-quantum well layer 3, and a P-type gallium nitride layer 4. The N-type gallium nitride layer 2 is grown under the substrate 1, the multi-quantum well layer 3 is grown on the N-type gallium nitride layer 2, and the P-type gallium nitride layer 4 is grown on the multi-quantum well layer 3. The bottoms of the P-type gallium nitride layer 4 and the N-type gallium nitride layer 2 are respectively sputtered with an anode pad 5 and a common cathode pad 6 connected to the substrate 200.
[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The upper side pad 7 and the cathode pad 8 are sputtered and plated at the positions corresponding to the anode pad 5 and the common cathode pad 6 on the upper side of the substrate 200, respectively. The anode pad 5 and the upper side pad 7, as well as the common cathode pad 6 and the cathode pad 8 are soldered through the solder ball 16, and the cathode pad 8 is grounded at the same time. The lower side pad 11 is sputtered and plated on the lower side of the substrate 200, and the lower side pad 11 is electrically connected to the upper side pad 7 and the TFT at the same time.
[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1 TFT includes a backplane 13 and related inner circuits 14 arranged on the backplane 13, and the inner circuits 14 include but are not limited to circuit elements such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, and voltage regulators. The inner circuits 14 are connected to external drive signals, and surface pads 15 are sputtered and plated on the surface of the backplane 13 corresponding to the positions where the inner circuits 14 are connected to each drive signal. The surface pads 15 are also welded to the lower pads 11 through solder balls 16.
[0044] In this embodiment, the arrangement and spacing of the upper pads 7 on the upper side of the substrate 200 are consistent with the arrangement and spacing of the LED chip array 100, the arrangement and spacing of the lower pads 11 on the lower side of the substrate 200 are consistent with the arrangement and spacing of the back plate 13 in the TFT array 300, and the spacing of the LED chips in the LED chip array 100 is smaller than the spacing of the TFTs in the TFT array 300. In other embodiments, the distribution and spacing of the modules or arrays on the upper and lower sides of the substrate 200 can be adjusted according to the application scenario.
[0045] In this embodiment, the materials of the anode pad 5 , the common cathode pad 6 , the upper pad 7 , the cathode pad 8 , the lower pad 11 and the surface pad 15 include but are not limited to gold, titanium, aluminum, nickel and silver.
[0046] In this embodiment, the back plate 13 of the TFT is made of transparent material, and the transparent material includes but is not limited to glass, sapphire, and silicon carbide materials.
[0047] Furthermore, Figure 2 A schematic top view of a substrate 200 according to Embodiment 1 of the present application is shown, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A via 9 is provided at the middle position of the substrate 200 corresponding to the position of the upper pad 7. At least one metal trace 10 is arranged on the lower side of the substrate 200. The metal trace 10 passes through the via 9 and its two ends are electrically connected to the upper pad 7 and the lower pad 11 respectively, thereby achieving electrical conduction between the lower pad 11 and the upper pad 7.
[0048] In this embodiment, the wiring method of the metal trace 10 is as follows: one end of the metal trace 10 is connected to the upper pad 7, and the other end is provided with a via 9 close to the lower side of the substrate 200 and extends horizontally outward to exceed the edge of the LED chip array 100 and connects to the lower pad 11.
[0049] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 A first insulating layer 12 covering the metal trace 10 is further provided on the lower side of the substrate 200 , and a connection hole 18 for the metal trace 10 to pass through is provided at the connection between the first insulating layer 12 and the lower pad 11 .
[0050] In this embodiment, the material of the first insulating layer 12 includes but is not limited to silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide.
[0051] Through the above technical scheme, on the one hand, the LED chip array 100, substrate 200 and TFT array 300 of the Mirco-LED display screen can be processed separately, the manufacturing process is simple, and they are independently soldered through different pads, which is conducive to rework; on the other hand, the substrate 200 adopts the Fan-out design of the double-layer PCB to realize the upper and lower side rewiring, which expands the wiring area, and the double-sided wiring of the substrate 200 is connected by the set vias 9 and the metal traces 10. Using a set of TFT arrays 300, it is possible to drive LED chip arrays 100 of various sizes and spacings, so there is no need to change the size of the TFT array 300 to adapt to LED chip arrays 100 of different sizes, thereby reducing production costs.
[0052] It is required to explain that in the traditional design, for example, the original LED chip array 100 with a size of 40μm and a spacing of 10μm needs to be adapted to the TFT array 300 with a center spacing of 50μm. In this way, different TFT arrays 300 need to be designed for LED chip arrays of different sizes and spacings, which requires constant redesign and re-opening, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. More importantly, the internal structure of the TFT array 300 is relatively complex, and it is often more expensive to reduce its size. However, the present application can change the restrictions on the TFT array 300 by rewiring, for example, the original LED chip array 100 with center spacings of 20, 50, and 100μm can be controlled by a TFT array 300 with a spacing of 450μm.
[0053] The Mirco-LED display screen of the embodiment of the present application has a simple manufacturing process and low cost, and reduces the spacing between LED chips while ensuring display efficiency and refresh speed, thereby enhancing display capabilities.
[0054] Figure 3 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a Mirco-LED display screen according to Embodiment 2 of the present application is shown, Figure 3 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that the metal trace 10 in this embodiment is arranged on the upper side of the substrate 200, the first insulating layer 12 independently covers the cathode pad 8 and the metal trace 10, and the first insulating layer 12 is opened at the connection between the cathode pad 8 and the common cathode pad 6.
[0055] In this embodiment, the wiring method of the metal trace 10 is as follows: one end of the metal trace 10 is connected to the upper pad 7, and the other end is closely attached to the upper side of the substrate 200 and horizontally extends outward beyond the edge of the LED chip array 100 and is connected to the upper pad 7 through a via 9.
[0056] In this embodiment, since the metal trace 10 is arranged on the upper side of the substrate 200 , the cathode pad 8 is also covered with a first insulating layer 12 to prevent the metal trace 10 from being short-circuited with the cathode pad 8 .
[0057] Compared with the first embodiment, the advantage of this embodiment is that the metal wiring 10 is arranged on the upper side of the substrate 200, which can avoid the short circuit between the metal wiring 10 on the substrate 200 and the inner layer circuit 14 and the surface pad 15 of the TFT.
[0058] Figure 4 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a Mirco-LED display screen according to Embodiment 3 of the present application is shown, Figure 4 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that a second insulating layer 12' is provided between the cathode pad 8 and the substrate 200. In this embodiment, the second insulating layer 12' is made of the same material as the first insulating layer 12.
[0059] Compared with the first embodiment, the advantage of the present embodiment is that a second insulating layer 12' is pre-arranged below the cathode pad 8, which can avoid the problem of short circuit and cold solder joint when the substrate 200 is soldered to the LED chip on the upper side.
[0060] Figure 5 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a Mirco-LED display screen according to Embodiment 4 of the present application is shown, Figure 5As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that circuit element areas 17 are also provided on the unwired areas at both ends of the upper side of the substrate 200, which are configured for welding requirements in various situations. The circuit element area 17 can be used to arrange the circuit elements used in the design of the Mirco-LED display screen and their required wiring.
[0061] Compared with Example 1, the advantage of this embodiment is that the unwired area of the substrate 200 is effectively used to arrange circuit elements and wiring, saving wiring space, increasing the wiring area, and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the Micro-LED display.
[0062] According to the second aspect of the present application, based on the above-mentioned Mirco-LED display screen, a manufacturing process of a Mirco-LED display screen based on Fan-out is also proposed.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, a first insulating layer is firstly covered on the cathode pad, and then a metal trace is arranged on the upper side of the substrate, and then a first insulating layer is covered on the metal trace. This embodiment can avoid a short circuit between the metal trace on the substrate and the module on the lower side of the substrate.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment, a second insulating layer is further provided between the cathode pad and the upper side of the substrate. This embodiment can avoid the problem of short circuit and cold solder joint when the substrate is soldered to the LED chip on the upper side.
[0070] In a preferred embodiment, circuit element areas are also provided on the unwired areas at both ends of the upper side of the substrate. This embodiment effectively utilizes the unwired areas of the substrate to arrange circuit elements and wiring, saves wiring space, increases wiring area, and further improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the Mirco-LED display.

The substrate 200 adopts a double-layer PCB Fan-out design to achieve rewiring on the upper and lower sides, which expands the wiring area, and the double-sided wiring of the substrate 200 is connected by the set vias 9 and metal traces 10.
