Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The spliced display panel 100 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA located outside the display area AA. The spliced display panel 100 also includes a driving backplane 1 and a plurality of display assemblies 2 arranged in an array on the driving backplane 1. The plurality of display assemblies 2 are located in the display area AA, and each of the display assemblies 2 includes a display substrate 20, a plurality of first binding terminals 10 arranged on one side of the display substrate 20, and a plurality of LED chips 30 arranged on the other side of the display substrate 20, wherein the first binding terminals 10 are electrically connected to the corresponding LED chips 30. The LED chips 30 include Mini-LED chips or Micro-LED chips. The one side of the display substrate 20 and the other side of the display substrate 20 refer to two opposite sides of the display substrate 20.
[0039] The driver backplane 1 is provided with a plurality of second binding terminals 40 and a driving element 50 electrically connected to the second binding terminals 40. Each second binding terminal 40 is electrically connected to a corresponding first binding terminal 10, thereby electrically connecting the LED chip 30 on the display substrate 20 to the driving element 50 on the driver backplane 1. The driving element 50 transmits signals to the first binding terminals 10 and the LED chip 30 in sequence through the second binding terminals 40, thereby driving the LED chip 30 on the display substrate 20 to emit light.
[0040] The driver element 50 includes a driver integrated circuit (IC) and other driver components. The driver element 50 is disposed on the side of the driver backplane 1 away from the display assembly 2. Placing the driver element 50 on the driver backplane 1 can reduce or eliminate the borders of each display assembly 2, thereby reducing or eliminating the seams at the joints of multiple display assemblies 2, thereby resolving the problem of large seams at the joints of existing spliced screens.
[0041] The following will specifically describe the film structure of the display assembly 2 and the driving backplane 1 of the spliced display panel 100:
[0042] Reference Figure 3 The driving backplane 1 includes a first backplane 11 and a second backplane 12 that are stacked. The first backplane 11 is located on the side of the second backplane 12 away from the display component 2. A plurality of second binding terminals 40 are provided on the second backplane 12. A plurality of third binding terminals 60 and a driving element 50 electrically connected to the third binding terminals 60 are provided on the first backplane 11. The second binding terminals 40 are electrically connected to the corresponding first binding terminals 10 and the corresponding third binding terminals 60.
[0043] Specifically, the first backplane 11 includes a first substrate 111 and a first barrier layer 112 located on a side of the first substrate 111 close to the second backplane 12. The third binding terminal 60 is located on the first substrate 111, and the first barrier layer 112 has a notch at a position corresponding to the third binding terminal 60 to expose the third binding terminal 60. The first substrate 111 has a first opening 1110 at a position corresponding to the third binding terminal 60. The driving element 50 is electrically connected to the third binding terminal 60 through the first opening 1110.
[0044] Furthermore, the first backplane 11 further includes a first auxiliary conductive layer 1111 , which is filled in the first opening 1110 , and the driving element 50 is electrically connected to the third binding terminal 60 through the first auxiliary conductive layer 1111 .
[0045] Optionally, the material of the first auxiliary conductive layer 1111 includes one or more of a conductive film, a conductive adhesive, a metal solder, a solder paste, a liquid metal, etc., wherein the conductive adhesive includes a polymer conductive adhesive or a conductive adhesive doped with conductive particles. Furthermore, the third binding terminal 60 can be made of a metal or alloy or metal laminate structure, metal oxide, or conductive oxide with strong oxidation resistance and low resistivity, such as MO, AL, or other metals.
[0046] Furthermore, the second backplane 12 includes a second substrate 121 and a connecting trace 123 and a second blocking layer 122 located on the side of the second substrate 121 close to the display component 2, the second blocking layer 122 covers the connecting trace 123, the second binding terminal 40 is located on the second blocking layer 122, and the connecting trace 123 is connected to the corresponding second binding terminal 40 and the third binding terminal 60.
[0047] Optionally, the second binding terminal 40 may also be made of metal or alloy or metal laminate structure, metal oxide, conductive oxide, etc. with strong oxidation resistance and low resistivity, such as MO, AL and other metals.
[0048] At the same time, the second binding terminal 40 is also electrically connected to the corresponding first binding terminal 10. Thus, the driving component 50 transmits signals to the second binding terminal 40, the first binding terminal 10 and the display substrate 20 in sequence through the third binding terminal 60 to drive the LED chip to emit light.
[0049] Optionally, the first barrier layer 112 and the second barrier layer 122 may be formed of an inorganic material such as silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), or silicon oxynitride (SiON) to prevent unwanted impurities or contaminants (such as moisture and oxygen) from diffusing from the first substrate 111 or the second substrate 121 into devices that may be damaged by these impurities or contaminants. The first substrate 111 and the second substrate 121 may be made of a flexible thin film material such as polyimide (PI).
[0050] Furthermore, the driving elements 50 are arranged in an array on the side of the first back plate 11 away from the second back plate 12, so that the driving elements 50 are evenly distributed on the first back plate 11. Figure 4As shown. By placing the driver components 50 on the first backplane 11, the border of each display module 2 can be reduced or eliminated, thereby reducing or eliminating the seams at the joints of multiple display modules 2. Furthermore, the driver components 50 are evenly spaced on the first backplane 11 and positioned corresponding to the display area of the display panel, thus avoiding IR drop issues caused by excessive wiring due to the concentration of driver components 50 on the bottom or side frames.
[0051] Next, the specific structure of the display component 2 is described:

The first binding terminals 10 can be made of metals or alloys or metal laminated structures, metal oxides, conductive oxides, etc. with strong oxidation resistance and low resistivity, such as MO, AL, etc., to ensure the stability of the first binding terminals 10 and the reliability of the connection with the driving backplane 1.
[0053] Optionally, the base substrate 13 includes a stacked third barrier layer 132, a third substrate 131, a fourth barrier layer 133, and a buffer layer 134. The first binding terminal 10 and the third barrier layer 132 are both located on a side of the third substrate 131 away from the driving circuit layer 21. Specifically, the first binding terminal 10 is located on a side of the third barrier layer 132 away from the third substrate 131. The third barrier layer 132 has a second opening 1321 at a position corresponding to the first binding terminal 10. The first binding terminal 10 is located within the second opening 1321, and the second opening 1321 exposes the first binding terminal 10.
[0054] The fourth barrier layer 133 and the buffer layer 134 are both located on a side of the third substrate 131 close to the driving circuit layer 21 . Specifically, the fourth barrier layer 133 covers the third substrate 131 , and the buffer layer 134 covers the fourth barrier layer 133 .
[0055] Optionally, the third barrier layer 132, the fourth barrier layer 133 and the buffer layer 134 can all be formed of inorganic materials such as silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon oxynitride (SiON), etc., to prevent unwanted impurities or contaminants (such as moisture, oxygen, etc.) from diffusing from the third substrate 131 to devices that may be damaged by these impurities or contaminants. The material of the third substrate 131 includes flexible thin film materials such as polyimide (PI). At the same time, the buffer layer 134 can also provide a flat top surface to facilitate the preparation of other film layer structures on the buffer layer 134. Of course, the substrate substrate 13 of the present application is not limited to this. The substrate substrate 13 of the present application may include more or less substrate film layers and barrier film layers.
[0056] The driving circuit layer 21 is arranged on the buffer layer 134, and the driving circuit layer 21 includes a first semiconductor layer 22, a first gate 23, a second gate 24, a first source 251, a first drain 252 and an insulating layer located between each layer. Specifically, it includes a first gate insulating layer 17 located between the first semiconductor layer 22 and the first gate 23, a second gate insulating layer 18 located between the first gate 23 and the second gate 24, and a first interlayer insulating layer 19 located between the second gate 24 and the first source 251.
[0057] Specifically, the first semiconductor layer 22 is disposed on the buffer layer 134, and the first semiconductor layer 22 includes a channel region and a source region and a drain region located on opposite sides of the channel region. The first gate insulating layer 17 covers the first semiconductor layer 22 and the buffer layer 134. The first gate 23 is disposed on the first gate insulating layer 17, and the first gate 23 is disposed corresponding to the channel region of the first semiconductor layer 22. The second gate insulating layer 18 covers the first gate 23 and the first gate insulating layer 17. The second gate 24 is disposed on the second gate insulating layer 18, and the second gate 24 is disposed corresponding to the first gate 23.
[0058] The first interlayer insulating layer 19 is covered on the second gate electrode 24 and the second gate insulating layer 18. The source electrode 251 and the drain electrode 252 are arranged on the first interlayer insulating layer 19, and the source electrode 251 and the drain electrode 252 are electrically connected to the source region and the drain region of the corresponding first semiconductor layer 22, respectively. It should be noted that the driving circuit layer 21 also includes a plurality of signal lines, and the signal lines include data lines 253, gate scanning lines, etc., wherein the data lines 253 are arranged in the same layer as the source electrode 251 and the drain electrode 252, and the gate scanning lines are arranged in the same layer as the first gate electrode 23 or the second gate electrode 24. However, the present application is not limited to this. The signal lines of the present application may also include VSS, VDD power lines and various other signal lines for display or non-display, and different signal lines are electrically connected to different first binding terminals 10 to obtain different signals. For example, the data line 253 is electrically connected to the corresponding first binding terminal 10 to obtain a source driving signal and provide it to the source 251 ; the gate scan line is electrically connected to the corresponding first binding terminal 10 to obtain a gate scan signal and provide it to the first gate 23 .
[0059] This embodiment takes the electrical connection between the data line 253 and the first binding terminal 10 as an example for explanation:
[0060] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 5 The first interlayer insulating layer 19 is patterned to form a deep hole, which penetrates the first interlayer insulating layer 19, the second gate insulating layer 18, the first gate insulating layer 17, the buffer layer 134, the fourth barrier layer 133, the third substrate 131, the third barrier layer 132, and reaches the first binding terminal 10, thereby exposing a portion of the first binding terminal 10. The data line 253 is electrically connected to the first binding terminal 10 through the deep hole. At the same time, the data line 253 is also electrically connected to the source electrode 251 or the drain electrode 252, that is, the data line 253 is also electrically connected to the driving circuit layer 21, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the first binding terminal 10 and the driving circuit layer 21. This application takes the electrical connection between the data line 253 and the drain electrode 252 as an example.
[0061] It should be noted that "disposed in the same layer" in this application means that during the manufacturing process, a film layer formed of the same material is patterned to obtain at least two different features, and the at least two different features are disposed in the same layer. For example, in this embodiment, the data line 253 and the source electrode 251 are obtained by patterning the same conductive film layer, and thus the data line 253 and the source electrode 251 are disposed in the same layer.
[0062] At the same time, in order to provide a flat surface for the driving circuit layer 21, the driving circuit layer 21 further includes a planarization layer 27 covering the source electrode 251, the drain electrode 252, and the first interlayer insulating layer 19. Of course, the structure of the driving circuit layer 21 in the present application is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. The driving circuit layer 21 of the present application may also include more or fewer film layers, and the positional relationship of the film layers is also not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, the present application may also adopt a single-gate structure, and the single-gate structure may also be located below the first semiconductor layer 22 to form a bottom-gate structure.
[0063] Furthermore, the driving circuit layer 21 also includes a first electrode 261 located on the planarization layer 27. The first electrode 261 is electrically connected to the source electrode 251 and the drain electrode 252 through vias in the planarization layer 27. This embodiment uses the electrical connection between the first electrode 261 and the source electrode 251 as an example. The LED chip 30 is electrically connected to the first electrode 261 to achieve an electrical connection between the LED chip and the driving circuit layer 21. The driving circuit layer 21 is also electrically connected to the corresponding first binding terminal 10, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the first binding terminal 10 and the corresponding LED chip 30. Of course, to drive the LED chip 30 to emit light, the driving circuit layer 21 also includes a second electrode 262. Optionally, the second electrode 262 is provided on the same layer as the first electrode 261.
[0064] Specifically, the LED chip 30 has a first electrode 31 and a second electrode 32. The first electrode 31 is electrically connected to the first electrode 261, and the second electrode 32 is electrically connected to the second electrode 262. The first electrode 261 is an anode, and the second electrode 262 is a cathode. However, the present application is not limited to this. The first electrode 261 can also be a cathode, and the second electrode 262 can be an anode. Alternatively, the second electrode 262 can be disposed on a side of the LED chip 30 away from the driver circuit layer 21. In this case, the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 of the LED chip 30 are located on opposite sides of the LED chip 30.
[0065] To define the attachment position of the LED chip 30, the drive circuit layer 21 may further include a pixel definition layer 28 overlying the planarization layer 27. The pixel definition layer 28 has openings at positions corresponding to the first electrode 261 and the second electrode 262. The LED chip 30 may be placed within the openings and electrically connected to the drive circuit layer 21. To improve the reliability of the LED chip 30 and prevent failure of the LED chip 30 due to water and oxygen intrusion, the display assembly 2 also includes an encapsulation layer 29 overlying the LED chip 30 and the pixel definition layer 28.

The second blocking layer 122 covers the second source electrode 85, the second drain electrode 84, and the second interlayer insulating layer 64.
[0068] The third gate 82 and the fourth gate 83 are both arranged corresponding to the channel region of the second semiconductor layer 81.

The second bonding terminal 40 is electrically connected to the second source 85 through a via in the second barrier layer 122. The second drain 84 is electrically connected to the third bonding terminal 60 through a first signal transfer line 86. The third bonding terminal 60 is also electrically connected to the driving element 50 through the first auxiliary conductive layer 1111.
[0069] In other embodiments, the driving function layer 80 may further include a driving transistor having a single-gate structure.
[0070] In this embodiment, the driving element 50 is arranged on the side of the first backplane 11 away from the second backplane 12, and the driving signal from the driving element 50 is transmitted to the display substrate 20 in sequence through the third binding terminal 60, the first signal adapter 86, the second drain 84, the second semiconductor layer 81, the second source 85, the second binding terminal 40 and the first binding terminal 10 to drive the LED chip 30 on the display substrate 20 to emit light.
[0071] In one embodiment, the driving function layer 80 can also be used to fabricate a GOA circuit, eliminating the need for a gate driver 50, thereby saving costs. Furthermore, fabricating the GOA circuit on the second backplane 12 can also reduce the border of the spliced display panel 100.

[0075] S302: Providing a plurality of display assemblies 2, each of the display assemblies 2 including a display substrate 20 and a plurality of first binding terminals 10 disposed on one side of the display substrate 20, sequentially transferring the LED chips 30 on the transfer substrate to the other side of the display substrate 20 of each display assembly 2, and electrically connecting the first binding terminals 10 to the corresponding LED chips 30;
[0076] The other side of the display substrate 20 refers to the side opposite to the first binding terminal 10. Specifically, the first binding terminal 10 is located on one side of the display substrate 20, and the LED chip 30 is located on the other side of the display substrate 20. The first binding terminal 10 and the LED chip 30 are located on opposite sides of the display substrate 20.
[0077] S303: Providing a driving backplane 1, the driving backplane 1 comprising a first backplane 11 and a second backplane 12 arranged in a stacked manner, wherein the first backplane 11 is located on a side of the second backplane 12 away from the display assembly 2, the second backplane 12 is provided with a plurality of second binding terminals 40, the first backplane 11 is provided with a plurality of third binding terminals 60 and a driving element 50 electrically connected to the third binding terminals 60, and the third binding terminals 60 are also electrically connected to corresponding second binding terminals 40;
[0078] S304: Splice multiple display components 2 on the driving backplane 1, so that each second binding terminal 40 is electrically connected to the corresponding first binding terminal 10, so that the driving element 50 transmits the signal to the second binding terminal 40, the first binding terminal 10 and the LED chip 30 in sequence through the third binding terminal 60, so as to drive the LED chip 30 to emit light.
[0079] It is understood that mass transfer technology is typically used in the LED chip 30 transfer process. However, this technology is limited by the area of a single transfer. For large-scale tiled displays, multiple transfers are required to complete the entire transfer process. However, multiple transfers can lead to cumulative misalignment and lower yields. In this embodiment, the LED chips 30 on the transfer substrate are first transferred to a single, small-sized display assembly 2, and then multiple display assemblies 2 are spliced onto the driver backplane 1. This eliminates the need for large-scale mass transfer and improves the transfer yield.
