TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a mass transfer method of MiniLED and MicroLED. BACKGROUND
[0002] The current market LED transfer technology is one by one or local one by one. This method is slow and cannot be repeated. In addition, the LED display is made on a substrate, which leads to complex wiring. Moreover, MicroLED display is three RGB colors, which increases the difficulty of transfer. The industry has at least three kinds of fine pick and place technologies: electrostatic force, van der Waals force and magnetic force, selective release, self-assembly and roll printing. However, the substrate is basically one kind, and the wiring is realized on one substrate. As a result, the three RGB color LED chips need to be selectively implanted. Moreover, the wiring of the substrate is multi-layered, and the production and repair efficiency is very low. Therefore, a mass transfer method of MiniLED and MicroLED is needed. SUMMARY
[0003] The mass transfer method of MiniLED and MicroLED solves the problems in the prior art.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] A mass transfer method of MiniLED and MicroLED, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1 substrate film layer preparation:
[0007] Prepare the plate material of the substrate film layer, make metal lines on the plate material, and hollow out the plate material;
[0008] S2 substrate film layer unit preparation:
[0009] Prepare the plate material prepared in S1 step, LED and bearing carrier plate;
[0010] Respectively make top layer substrate film layer unit, middle layer substrate film layer unit and bottom layer substrate film layer unit;
[0011] S3 top layer substrate film layer unit transfer:
[0012] Bond the transfer carrier plate on the top of the top layer substrate film layer unit;
[0013] S4 substrate film layer unit transfer:
[0014] aligning and transferring the substrate film layer units in sequence from top substrate film layer unit to middle substrate film layer unit to bottom substrate film layer unit to obtain the LED display screen;
[0015] S5 encapsulating the LED display screen obtained in S4, and peeling off the bottom carrier plate after encapsulation to realize flexible Mini / Micro LED display.
[0016] Preferably, in the S4 step:
[0017] aligning and connecting the top substrate film layer unit with the middle substrate film layer unit, and peeling off the bottommost carrier plate to form a combination 1;
[0018] aligning and connecting the combination 1 with the middle substrate film layer unit layer by layer in the above manner to form a combination N;
[0019] aligning and connecting the combination N with the bottom substrate film layer unit, and peeling off the topmost transfer carrier plate to obtain the product.
[0020] Preferably, in the S2 step:
[0021] fixing the plate of the top substrate film layer unit on the carrier plate, and then transferring the LED to the plate to form the top substrate film layer unit.
[0022] Preferably, in the S2 step:
[0023] fixing the plate of the middle substrate film layer unit on the carrier plate, and then transferring the LED to the plate to form the middle substrate film layer unit.
[0024] Preferably, in the S2 step:
[0025] fixing the plate of the bottom substrate film layer unit on the carrier plate, and then transferring the LED to the plate to form the bottom substrate film layer unit.
[0026] Preferably, in the S1 step:
[0027] determining the hollow sites on the plate of the substrate film layer, and taking the hollow sites on the plate of the upper substrate film layer as the alignment sites of the LED on the plate of the lower substrate film layer;
[0028] determining the mounting sites of the plate of the substrate film layer for carrying the LED.
[0029] Preferably, the metal lines on the plate are 1-2 layers.
[0030] Preferably, the same color LEDs are transferred to the plate during the transferring of the LED, and the color type is not limited.
[0031] Preferably, the plate material of the substrate film layer is hollowed out by laser, photoetching and or cutting, and the hollowing is free shape.
[0032] In the present application,
[0033] By hollowing out the upper substrate film layer, the hollowed position is aligned with the LED of the lower substrate film layer for installation, and the same color LED is transferred on the current substrate film layer during the transfer process, realizing batch transfer of the same color LED. In this process, the metal circuit on the substrate film layer can be reduced from multiple layers to one or two layers. During the transfer process, only one color chip is transferred each time, greatly improving the transfer efficiency. Because the installation space of the LED of other layers is hollowed out in the upper layer, it is convenient to perform grouping operation on the completed monochromatic LED module subsequently, simplifying the circuit design and improving the production efficiency.
[0034] Meanwhile, the top substrate film layer unit, the intermediate substrate film layer unit and the bottom substrate film layer unit are sequentially aligned and transferred to realize modular design, and the substrate film layer units are combined after batch production, and the transfer efficiency and quality of the LED are improved by positioning the bearing carrier plate and the transfer carrier plate. Meanwhile, flexible MiniLED / Micro LED display screen and Mini LED transparent display can be realized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
