[0071] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0072] ACF: Anisotropic conductive adhesive.

[0073] Existing TFT LCD screen products have complex manufacturing processes and high investment costs.

[0074] To address the above issues, a Mini LED display manufacturing process and a Mini LED display screen are proposed.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] Firstly, a Mini LED display manufacturing process, such as Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a first schematic diagram of a Mini LED display manufacturing process according to the present invention; including: step 100, fabricating a large Mini LED display glass substrate; step 200, cutting the large Mini LED display glass substrate into small particles and attaching ACF to the copper pads of the glass substrate; step 300, bonding LED chips to the display glass substrate; wherein, step 100 includes: step 110, after the metal pattern is fabricated, laser drilling is used on the glass substrate to obtain a hole pattern, and copper is deposited in the hole pattern.

[0077] In the manufacturing process of Mini LED display glass substrates, large glass substrates can be made and then cut into smaller glass substrates.

[0078] In some implementations, small glass substrates can be fabricated directly without a cutting process.

[0079] Fabricating the glass substrate for a Mini LED display requires laser drilling to create a hole pattern corresponding to a metal design on the front side of the glass substrate. The holes in the hole pattern are primarily used for the deposition of copper.

[0080] Meanwhile, copper pad patterns corresponding to the hole patterns are also set on the front side of the glass substrate. The hole patterns and copper pad patterns are bound together, that is, each hole corresponds to one copper pad, and the copper pad is bound to the corresponding LED chip to realize the circuit connection. By integrating the LED, transistor, and energy storage capacitor together to produce a circular LED chip, and using laser drilling to obtain the hole patterns on the glass substrate, and then depositing metallic copper in the hole patterns, a Mini LED display with better display performance can be obtained by simply making metal lines on the glass substrate, without having to use the huge investment in TFT factory lines to produce the glass substrate, thus reducing the production cost.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] Before drilling, a metal pattern is created on the glass substrate. Specifically, this can be implemented as follows:Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a second schematic diagram of a Mini LED display manufacturing process in this invention; Step 120: Use molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum metal to create a pattern for the GND layer and DATA layer together; Step 130: Use molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum metal to create a pattern for the VLED layer and SIG layer together; Step 140: After the metal pattern is created, a photoresist protective layer is set on the back and front of the glass substrate.

[0083] The metal patterns are all made of molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum metal. The metal patterns are made on both the GND layer and the DATA layer, serving as a metal pattern layer on the glass substrate. The metal patterns are also made on both the VLED layer and the SIG layer, serving as another metal pattern layer.

[0084] An insulating layer is provided between the metal pattern layers for insulation.

[0085] After the metal patterns of the two layers are made, photoresist layers are applied to the front and back of the glass substrate for protection.

[0086] In this application, the front side refers to the side closest to the display surface of the screen, and the back side refers to the side closest to the non-display surface of the screen.

[0087] Example 3

[0088] After the two metal patterns mentioned above are set, holes need to be drilled in the glass substrate. Specifically,

[0089] like Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a third schematic diagram of a Mini LED display manufacturing process in this invention; Step 110 includes: Step 111, making a hole pattern corresponding to the metal pattern on the glass substrate; Step 112, depositing metallic copper in the holes of the hole pattern; Step 113, bonding the deposited metallic copper to the copper pads on the front side; wherein, the hole diameter in the hole pattern is 0.03mm, and the diameter of each copper pad is 0.3mm.

[0090] The hole pattern is set to correspond to the metal pattern. Holes are set at the positions of the glass substrate where the circuit is connected in each metal pattern, so as to deposit copper metal. The deposited copper metal is bonded to the copper pads on the front side of the substrate.

[0091] The aperture is approximately 0.03 mm, and the metal pad is approximately 0.3 mm. Each hole corresponds to a copper pad, forming a copper pad pattern on the front side of the glass substrate.

[0092] After the copper deposition is completed, that is, after the copper pad pattern is bonded to the corresponding hole pattern, the photoresist protective layer is removed.

[0093] Example 4

[0094] After the large glass substrate is fabricated, it enters the cutting process. Specifically...

[0095] like Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a fourth schematic diagram of a Mini LED display manufacturing process in this invention; Step 200 includes: Step 210, attaching PE protective films to the front and back of the large Mini LED display glass substrate; Step 220, using a diamond cutting wheel to cut the large Mini LED display glass substrate into small particles; Step 230, replacing the PE protective film on the back of the substrate with a high-temperature resistant PET protective film, and removing the PE protective film on the front of the substrate; Step 240, attaching ACF to the copper pad pattern on the front of the substrate accordingly.

[0096] Example 5

[0097] After the cutting process is completed, the next step is to bond the glass substrate to the LED chip. Specifically,

[0098] like Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a fifth schematic diagram of a Mini LED display manufacturing process in this invention; step 300 includes: step 310, integrating LEDs, transistors, and energy storage capacitors together to fabricate a circular LED chip; step 320, cutting the circular LED chip into square LED chips; step 330, splicing the square LED chips to conform to the substrate size; step 340, bonding the spliced ​​LED chips to the Mini LED display glass substrate.

[0099] Example 6

[0100] After binding, such as Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a sixth schematic diagram of a Mini LED display manufacturing process in this invention; step 300 further includes: step 350, after bonding, attaching an optical film to the front side of the Mini LED display glass substrate; step 360, removing the PET protective film on the back side of the substrate and positioning and attaching ACF to bond the gate layer and IC.

[0101] Finally, adhesive needs to be applied around the LED chip and the Mini LED display glass substrate to seal them.

[0102] Secondly, such as Figure 7 and 8 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a Mini LED display screen structure according to the present invention. Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of an LED chip in a Mini LED display screen according to the present invention; a Mini LED display screen is manufactured using the method of the first aspect, comprising: a glass substrate and an LED chip; the LED chip is bonded to the glass substrate to obtain the Mini LED display screen; wherein the glass substrate includes a molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum metal pattern, a hole pattern, and a copper pad pattern.

[0103] The molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum metal patterns include: metal patterns for the GND and DATA layers made of molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum materials, and metal patterns for the VLED and SIG layers made of molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum materials.

[0104] The metal patterns are all made of molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum metal. The metal patterns are made on both the GND layer and the DATA layer, serving as a metal pattern layer on the glass substrate. The metal patterns are also made on both the VLED layer and the SIG layer, serving as another metal pattern layer.

[0105] An insulating layer is provided between the metal pattern layers for insulation.

[0106] The hole pattern is a pattern obtained by laser drilling on a glass substrate corresponding to a metal pattern, used for the deposition of metallic copper.

[0107] The copper pad pattern corresponds to the hole pattern, is set on the front side of the substrate, and is bonded to the metallic copper in the hole pattern.

[0108] LED chips are made by integrating LEDs, transistors, and energy storage capacitors into a single package to create a circular LED chip. These circular chips are then cut into square LED chips, and multiple square LED chips are joined together. The aperture in the hole pattern is 0.03mm, and the diameter of each copper pad is 0.3mm.

[0109] The Mini LED display manufacturing process and Mini LED display of the present invention integrate LED lamps, transistors, and energy storage capacitors together to create a circular LED lamp chip. The process involves using laser drilling to obtain hole patterns on a glass substrate and depositing copper metal in the hole patterns. This method only requires the fabrication of simple metal lines on the glass substrate to obtain a Mini LED display with better display performance, without the need for a large-scale TFT factory line to manufacture the glass substrate, thus reducing production costs.

[0110] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
