Each growth substrate is a substrate facilitating the growth of epitaxial materials of corresponding colors.

[0076] Exemplarily, in step S102, electroplating and forming the first surface electrode, and welding and forming the second surface electrode.

[0077] The quality of the obtained first surface electrode and second surface electrode can be ensured.

[0078] In other implementation manners provided by the present disclosure, the first surface electrode can also be prepared by means of metal evaporation, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0079] Exemplarily, in step S103, transferring the red light-emitting diode chip, the green light-emitting diode chip, and the blue light-emitting diode chip to a support substrate, includes:

[0080] Mark the red light area, green light area, and blue light area on the first surface respectively; transfer the red light-emitting diode chip, green light-emitting diode chip, and blue light-emitting diode chip to the red light area, green light area, and blue light area respectively, and the red positive electrode, green positive electrode, and blue positive electrode are all in contact with the total electrode trace, the red electrode trace is in contact with the red negative electrode, the green electrode trace is in contact with the green negative electrode, the blue electrode trace is in contact with the blue negative electrode, or the red negative electrode, green negative electrode, and blue negative electrode are all in contact with the total electrode trace, the red electrode trace is in contact with the red positive electrode, the green electrode trace is in contact with the green positive electrode, and the blue electrode trace is in contact with the blue positive electrode; cure the first surface electrode and the red light-emitting diode chip, green light-emitting diode chip, and blue light-emitting diode chip.

[0081] Forming corresponding red, green, and blue light areas on the first surface of the support substrate can ensure a stable connection between the support substrate and each color chip. At the same time, curing after the first surface electrode is in contact with the electrodes of each color chip can enhance the connection stability between the support substrate and each color chip.

[0082] Optionally, curing the first surface electrode and the red light-emitting diode chip, green light-emitting diode chip, and blue light-emitting diode chip includes:

[0083] Spin-coat a black organic material on the part of the first surface other than the first surface electrode, and the height of the black organic material is flush with the first surface electrode; cure the black organic material; form a metal weld between the first surface electrode and the red, green, and blue positive and negative electrodes.

[0084] When realizing the connection between the first surface electrode and the electrodes of each color chip, adopting the method of spin-coating and curing first and then forming a metal weld can enhance the connection stability between the first surface electrode and the electrodes of each color chip, and effectively improve the quality of the finally obtained three-color chip.

[0085] Optionally, cure the black organic material for 5 - 30 min under the condition of a temperature of 100 - 300 degrees Celsius. This can improve the connection strength between the first surface electrode and the electrodes of each color chip.

[0086] In step S104, the material of the insulating layer can be an organic glue or an insulating glass material. This can reduce the possibility of leakage.

Figure 6 It shows that the red light-emitting diode chip 31 is connected to the red temporary substrate 100. Figure 7 It shows the structure in which the first surface electrode 21 is connected to the electrodes of each color chip.

[0088] Figure 8 is another structural schematic diagram of a three-color chip provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 8 it can be seen that in other implementation manners provided by the present disclosure, an antireflection layer 5 can also be formed between the support substrate 1 and the insulating layer 4. The material of the antireflection layer 5 can be an organic black material, which can improve the light output contrast of the three-color chip.

[0089] In other implementation manners provided by the present disclosure, the Figure 5 preparation method shown in can also be applied to the preparation process of multiple chips. For example, after obtaining multiple three-color chips on the same substrate, the three-color chips are then cut and separated.
