[0086] In some embodiments, the at least one insulating layer includes a resin layer RS.
[0087] In some embodiments, the at least one insulating layer further includes a first passivation layer PVX1 located between the resin layer RS and the first metal layer MT1 ; and a second passivation layer PVX2 located between the resin layer RS and the second metal layer MT2 .
[0088] In some embodiments, the light emitting substrate further comprises a third passivation layer PVX3 located on a side of the second metal layer MT2 away from the base substrate BS; and at least two through holes penetrating the third passivation layer PVX3 and partially exposing the surface of the second metal layer MT2.
[0089] Portions of the second metal layer MT2 may be used as the first pad BP1 and the second pad BP2 to bond the micro-LED. In one example, the first metal layer MT1 and the second metal layer MT2 are made of copper or a copper-containing metal material. In some embodiments, nickel-gold may be formed on top of the first pad BP1 and the second pad BP2 using a nickel-gold plating process, and then indium metal may be plated on top of the nickel-gold. Typically, the micro-LED electrode is made of a gold material, which has a good bonding affinity with the indium material on the first pad BP1 and the second pad BP2.
[0090] In some embodiments, each of the first metal layer MT1 and the second metal layer MT2 includes copper. Optionally, the second metal layer MT2 further includes nickel gold on the surface exposed by the at least two through-hole portions. Optionally, the second metal layer MT2 further includes indium tin oxide on the surface exposed by the at least two through-hole portions.
[0091] The front light source is disposed on top of the reflective display panel. The first passivation layer PVX1 and the second passivation layer PVX2 prevent the first metal layer MT1 or the second metal layer MT2 from being oxidized by the resin layer RS. The resin layer RS can reduce the total load of the front light source by reducing the coupling capacitance between the first metal layer MT1 and the second metal layer MT2. In addition, the presence of the resin layer RS can ensure that the surface for bonding the micro LEDs is substantially uniform. The third passivation layer PVX3 prevents poor bubbling of the electrode material (e.g., the second metal layer MT2) in the front light source.
[0092] In some embodiments, the backplane further comprises an indium tin oxide layer located on the side of the third passivation layer PVX3 and the second metal layer MT2 away from the base substrate BS. The indium tin oxide layer is used to bond the flexible printed circuit. The third passivation layer PVX3 prevents the surface of the indium tin oxide layer from being poorly hazed.
[0093] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a backplane for bonding a micro-LED of a light-emitting substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 The back plate includes a first pad BP1 and a second pad BP2 made of indium tin oxide. The first pad BP1 and the second pad BP2 are respectively connected to the second metal layer MT2 through through holes penetrating the third passivation layer PVX3.
[0094] Fig. 9is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a backplane for bonding a micro-LED of a light-emitting substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 , in some embodiments, the resin layer RS is confined to the LED bonding area. In one example, the orthographic projections of the first pad BP1 and the second pad BP2 on the base substrate BS cover the orthographic projection of the resin layer RS on the base substrate BS. In some embodiments, the light-emitting substrate further includes a shading layer LS configured to block light emitted from the micro-LED to the base substrate BS. Optionally, the shading layer LS is on the same layer as the first metal layer MT1. Optionally, the shading layer LS is a pattern different from other patterns in the same layer (e.g., the first metal layer MT1). For example, the shading layer LS is spaced apart from any portion of the first metal layer MT1. In another example, the orthographic projection of the shading layer LS on the base substrate BS does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first metal layer MT1 on the base substrate BS.
[0095] In some embodiments, the resin layer RS is not limited to the LED bonding area (eg, instead, provided in the entire area of the light emitting substrate), and the light emitting substrate further includes at least one gas release through hole to prevent gas defects during a high temperature manufacturing process. Fig.10 This is a cross-sectional view intersecting with the gas release through hole. Fig.10 In some embodiments, the gas release through hole GRV penetrates the third passivation layer PVX3 and the second passivation layer PVX2, thereby exposing the surface of the resin layer RS. The resin layer RS is optionally made of an organic material that is easy to release gas during a high temperature process. The first passivation layer PVX1, the second passivation layer PVX2, and the third passivation layer PVX3 are optionally made of an inorganic material. In the absence of the gas release through hole GRV, the gas released by the resin layer RS may cause one or more passivation layers to crack, thereby causing rupture. Optionally, the light-emitting substrate also includes a plurality of gas release through holes arranged in an array.
[0096] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the signal lines along the row direction may be part of the second metal layer MT2 , and the signal lines along the column direction may be part of the first metal layer MT1 .

Fig.11, the LED bonding point LEDB includes a first group of pads BPS1 and a second group of pads BPS2. In one example, the first group of pads BPS1 includes a first pad BP1 and a second pad BP2; the second group of pads BPS2 includes a third pad BP1' and a fourth pad BP2'. By having an extra group of pads, when one of the two groups is defective, the micro LED bonded to the LED bonding point can still work.
