Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The present application provides a packaging method, packaging structure, display device and terminal of a Micro-LED display panel to solve the problem that the existing Micro-LED display panel has poor water and oxygen barrier ability after packaging and is prone to color deviation. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The packaging structure of the Micro-LED display panel provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a display device. For example, the display device can be a projection device, a television, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a smart phone, a television, a monitor, a digital photo frame, an e-book reader and other terminals, a portable computer and other mobile terminal devices with display functions, or any other device that can include a Micro-LED packaging structure.

[0028] In order to more clearly illustrate the packaging structure of the Micro-LED display panel, the packaging method and packaging structure of the Micro-LED display panel will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] For example, see Figure 1and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the packaging structure provided in an embodiment of the present application before packaging. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure after packaging of the packaging structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0030] The packaging method of the Micro-LED display panel includes: arranging a plurality of Micro-LED chips 30 on a substrate 10, and forming a first cavity 80 between two adjacent Micro-LED chips 30;

[0031] A plurality of transparent Banks 50 are disposed on a side of the cover plate facing the substrate 10 , and the plurality of transparent Banks 50 correspond to the Micro-LED chips 30 one by one, and a second chamber 90 is formed between two adjacent transparent Banks 50 ;

[0032] A sealing block 60 is arranged along the outer edge of the substrate 10 to form a packaging cavity;

[0033] Pour black ink 70 into the packaging cavity to cover the Micro-LED chip 30;

[0034] After aligning the transparent Bank 50 with the Micro-LED chip 30, the cover plate is pressed onto the substrate 10, the transparent Bank 50 squeezes the Micro-LED chip 30, the first chamber 80 and the second chamber 90 are connected to form a closed receiving chamber 100, and the black ink 70 is squeezed into the receiving chamber 100 in liquid form and fills the receiving chamber 100, thereby packaging the Micro-LED display panel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the Micro-LED display panel is packaged by using a cover plate with a transparent Bank and black ink 70. The transparent Bank corresponds to the Micro-LED chip 30 one by one. The pattern of the transparent Bank 50 is prepared by a yellow light process. After bonding, the transparent Bank and the Micro-LED chip 30 are completely pressed together, and the black ink 70 is squeezed into the accommodating chamber 100 and fills the chamber. The cover plate and the substrate 10 are fixed together by a sealing block 60. The black ink 70 in the accommodating chamber 100 can well absorb the light emitted from the side of the Micro-LED chip 30, solve the color deviation problem, and reduce the reflection of the metal. The cover plate and the sealing block 60 can well isolate the water vapor and oxygen in the air to improve reliability. This application can not only solve the problem of serious color deviation of the Micro-LED display panel, but also solve the problems of poor water and oxygen barrier ability, easy scratching of the circuit, easy corrosion and even circuit explosion in high temperature and high humidity environment, high reflectivity, etc., greatly improving the display quality and reliability of the Micro-LED display panel.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 When the Micro-LED chip 30 emits light, the light emitted from the side of the Micro-LED chip 30 can be absorbed by the black ink 70, so that the light emitted by the Micro-LED chip 30 is limited to the width direction of the transparent block, thereby solving the color deviation problem.

[0037] The substrate 10 includes a backplane 40 and a driver circuit board 20, the driver circuit board 20 is arranged on the backplane 40, and the Micro-LED chips 30 are all arranged on the driver circuit board 20 and electrically connected to the driver circuit board 20. Therefore, during packaging, the black ink 70 is poured into the packaging cavity, directly covering the metal traces on the driver circuit board 20, and also avoiding the reflection of the metal traces affecting the appearance and display effect of the panel. Among them, the thickness of the transparent Bank 50 is 2-10um. In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the transparent Bank 50 is 5um.

[0038] In order to ensure that the receiving chamber 100 formed by the first chamber 80 and the second chamber 90 can be filled with black ink 70 when the cover plate and the back plate 40 are squeezed and packaged, so as to prevent incomplete absorption of the light emitted from the side of the Micro-LED chip 30. Therefore, when pouring the black ink 70 into the packaging cavity, the amount of black ink 70 poured is not less than the sum of the volumes of each receiving chamber 100, so that when the transparent Bank 50 squeezes the Micro-LED chip 30 from top to bottom, it can ensure that the receiving chamber 100 can be filled with black ink 70 to prevent light leakage.

[0039] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the plurality of Micro-LED chips 30 and the plurality of transparent Banks 50 are arranged linearly to adapt to a display panel of a single chip.

[0040] In other embodiments, the plurality of Micro-LED chips 30 and the plurality of transparent Banks 50 are arranged in an array to accommodate a display panel with multiple rows and columns of chips.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.
