Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a micro LED chip and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Micro LED displays (Micro LED displays) are a next-generation display technology built on miniaturized LED arrays. This involves thinning, miniaturizing, and organizing the LED structure into an array, resulting in a volume approximately 1% the size of current mainstream LEDs. Each pixel can be addressed and individually driven to emit light, reducing the distance between pixels from millimeters to microns. Inheriting the characteristics of LEDs, Micro LEDs offer advantages such as low power consumption, high brightness, ultra-high resolution and color saturation, fast response, exceptional power efficiency, long lifespan, and high efficiency. Their power consumption is approximately 10% of that of LCDs and 50% of that of OLEDs. Compared to OLEDs, which are also self-luminous displays, Micro LEDs offer 30 times higher brightness and a resolution of 1500 PPI (pixel density), five times the 300 PPI of the OLED panels used in the Apple Watch. Furthermore, they offer superior material stability and no image burn-in.
[0003] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, Micro LED has developed into a hot topic in future display technologies, but its technical difficulties are numerous and complex. RGB technology provides the best display effects. Traditional RGB uses an array of microscopic light-emitting elements in three colors, transferred to a receiving substrate, where three RGB elements are planarly clustered together to create an RGB effect. However, with Micro LED technology, the chip size is very small, resulting in very close spacing between the chips. As a result, the distance between each RGB group is small, resulting in color mixing and preventing the full RGB effect. Furthermore, the process of transferring and mixing each RGB group in large quantities is too complex, resulting in low production yield and high production costs. Summary of the Invention
