Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of LED display technology, specifically to an integrated Micro-LED display device and a display panel composed of it. Background Technology
[0002] Micro-LED displays are a highly competitive next-generation display technology. Full-color display is an essential feature of display products. Liquid crystal displays use color filters corresponding to each pixel to convert the white light emitted from the backlight into monochromatic light of the three primary colors (red, green, and blue), achieving full-color display. OLED displays use RGB light-emitting materials for each pixel, thus achieving self-emissive full-color display. Regardless of which full-color display technology is used, it requires individually addressable driving of the arrayed Micro-LED chips.
[0003] Each chip in a Micro-LED chip array is electrically connected to a corresponding addressable driving unit on the driving substrate to ensure that each Micro-LED chip in each pixel unit can be driven independently. Existing driving substrates mainly include printed circuit boards (PCBs), thin-film transistor (TFT) substrates, and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) substrates. CMOS substrates offer the highest achievable resolution, but their small size and high cost limit their application to small-sized micro-LED displays such as AR displays. PCB substrates offer advantages such as flexible design and double-sided wiring, but existing PCB substrates struggle to integrate addressing circuits and have relatively large pixel pitches, primarily limiting their application to lower-resolution Micro-LED displays. The TFT substrate has its own addressing circuit unit and usually adopts a 2T1C architecture driving circuit, which can enable each pixel unit's Micro-LED chip to achieve independent addressing active driving. The disadvantages are: (1) The TFT in the 2T1C array has the problem of uneven IV characteristics. In order to achieve Vth compensation, 4T2C or even 6T2C is usually required, and the driving becomes more complicated; Chinese patents with application numbers 202111102022.5, 202111093965.6, 202110534241.4, 202110357172.4, etc., use discrete transistors to integrate with Micro-LED chips to form a display pixel array. The discrete transistors can perform Vth sorting, thereby avoiding this problem; (2) Only single-sided wiring is possible. The wide line width and high resolution are contradictory. The cross-section of the wiring is limited, the current supplied to the Micro-LED chip is limited, and the brightness of the Micro-LED display is limited. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, this application proposes an integrated Micro-LED display device and a display device composed thereof, which can realize high-current driving of Micro-LED chips and realize one-to-many integrated driving of driving chips and Micro-LED chips.
[0005] According to a first aspect of this application, an integrated Micro-LED display device is proposed, comprising: a substrate and a plurality of display pixel units bonded to the substrate, each display pixel unit including a driver chip and a plurality of Micro-LED chips that are discrete from each other, a first metal wiring for connecting the display pixel units being provided on a first surface of the substrate, a second metal wiring for connecting the display pixel units being provided on a second surface of the substrate, and a portion of the first metal wiring and a portion of the second metal wiring being connected through a plurality of conductive vias formed on the substrate, the first metal wiring and / or the second metal wiring including a positive bus and a negative bus, the driver chip and the plurality of Micro-LED chips being flip-chip chips and electrically connected between the positive bus and the negative bus, and the driver chip and at least one bus being respectively disposed on different surfaces of the substrate.
[0006] The display device disclosed in the above scheme can bond discrete driver chips and Micro-LED chips together onto a circuit board through mass transfer to form a display pixel array, realize high-current driving of Micro-LED chips, and realize one-to-many integrated driving of driver chips and Micro-LED chips.
[0007] Furthermore, the first metal wiring includes a GND lead, a VCC lead, and several first LED leads corresponding to several Micro-LED chips. The GND lead is connected to the negative bus, and the VCC lead is connected to the positive bus. The driver chip is provided with a VCC pin, a GND pin, and several LED pins corresponding to several Micro-LED chips. The VCC pin is electrically connected to the VCC lead, and the GND pin is electrically connected to the GND lead. Each of the several Micro-LED chips is provided with a positive pin and a negative pin. The several positive pins are electrically connected to the VCC lead, and the several negative pins are electrically connected to the corresponding several first LED leads. The several LED pins are respectively electrically connected to the corresponding several first LED leads, so that the current flowing through the several Micro-LED chips in the display pixel unit flows through the driver chip in the display pixel unit.
[0008] Furthermore, the driver chip is disposed on the first surface of the substrate, and the positive bus and negative bus are both disposed on the second surface of the substrate.
[0009] Furthermore, several Micro-LED chips are disposed on the first surface of the substrate. At this point, the power supply circuit and the devices are located on opposite sides of the substrate, spatially separated, allowing the power supply current circuit to have wider wiring to carry a larger current, thereby increasing the power supply current.
[0010] Furthermore, several Micro-LED chips and driver chips are located directly above the positive and negative bus, respectively. This design facilitates heat dissipation; through the vertical heat transfer of the substrate, the heat generated by the chips can be conducted to the metal lines of the positive and negative bus, and then the high thermal conductivity of the metal lines themselves can be used to transfer heat outward.
[0011] Furthermore, several Micro-LED chips belonging to the same display pixel unit are arranged in a row with their arrangement direction parallel to one side of the driving chip belonging to that display pixel unit. At this time, the driving chip blocks the lateral light propagation between two adjacent display pixel units in the same row, thereby reducing lateral light crosstalk between the Micro-LED chips of adjacent display pixel units.
[0012] Furthermore, the negative bus is arranged on the first surface of the substrate, and the positive bus is arranged on the second surface of the substrate.
[0013] Furthermore, the driving chip and several Micro-LED chips belonging to the same display pixel unit are respectively disposed on different surfaces of the same area of the substrate.
[0014] Furthermore, the driver chip and the positive bus for connecting the driver chip are disposed on the same surface of the substrate and stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.
[0015] Furthermore, the negative bus for connecting the driver chip is disposed on another surface of the substrate and stacked with the driver chip in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. By stacking the negative bus and the driver chip in vertical space, a reduction in the size of the display pixel unit in horizontal space can be achieved.
[0016] Furthermore, the extension directions of the negative bus and the positive bus are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the Micro-LED chip and metal wiring can be vertically stacked on the top and bottom sides of the substrate, thereby reducing the wiring area occupied by the display pixel unit, reducing the pixel size, increasing pixel resolution, and simultaneously increasing the proportion of the light-transmitting area in the transparent display to improve light transmittance.
[0017] Furthermore, the driving chip and several Micro-LED chips belonging to the same display pixel unit are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.
[0018] Furthermore, the Micro-LED chip is a combination of three primary color Micro-LED chips, including blue, green and red Micro-LED chips, or a combination of a blue Micro-LED chip, a blue Micro-LED chip coated with red fluorescent material and a blue Micro-LED chip coated with green fluorescent material.
[0019] Furthermore, some or all of the Micro-LED chips belonging to the same display pixel unit are fixed on the same carrier substrate to form a multi-in-one Micro-LED chip, and are bonded to the substrate through the same carrier substrate. Bonding multiple Micro-LED chips at once can achieve high-efficiency manufacturing.
[0020] Furthermore, the all-in-one Micro-LED chip incorporates island-shaped light-emitting structures, which are either cylindrical or annular. Different wavelengths of light emission are achieved through nanopillars or nanorings of varying diameters.
[0021] Furthermore, each display pixel unit has four Micro-LED chips.
[0022] Furthermore, two of the four Micro-LED chips emit red light, while the other two emit blue and green light, respectively.
[0023] Furthermore, the four Micro-LED chips emit red, blue, green, and white light, respectively.
[0024] Furthermore, several Micro-LED chips are packaged into MiP (Micro-LED in Package) packages. During manufacturing, the photoelectric parameters of the MiP packages can be measured and graded to ensure high consistency of photoelectric parameters among the pixel units within the display screen, thereby ensuring a high-quality display effect.
[0025] Furthermore, an optical adhesive layer is applied above and / or below the MiP package, display pixel unit, and / or substrate for sealing and protection. The optical adhesive layer provides necessary protection for the device and circuitry, preventing damage during the manufacturing process.
[0026] Furthermore, a light-shielding adhesive layer is used to cover the surface of the driver chip for light-shielding treatment.
[0027] Furthermore, the substrate is transparent. This allows light to pass through the non-wiring areas within the display device, enabling high-resolution transparent displays.
[0028] Furthermore, taking the plane where the Micro-LEDs are set as the front side, several Micro-LEDs are symmetrically set on the back side to achieve double-sided display.
[0029] Furthermore, the same driver chip is used to drive the Micro-LEDs on both sides. Sharing the same driver IC enables synchronous high-resolution display of the images on both sides of the screen.
[0030] Furthermore, multiple display pixel units are arranged in an array, and the driver chips of the display pixel units in the same row are connected in series to form an electrical connection.
[0031] Secondly, this application proposes a display panel including any of the integrated Micro-LED display devices as described in the first aspect.
[0032] This application proposes an integrated Micro-LED display device and a display panel composed of the same. This Micro-LED display device integrates discrete driver chips and Micro-LED chips, complementing the advantages of PCB substrates and TFT substrates. During manufacturing, the driver chip and Micro-LED chip can be bonded together to the circuit board via mass transfer to form a pixel array. This achieves both discrete integration and high power supply current, resulting in a high-performance Micro-LED display effect. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0059]
Example 1
[0060] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment. The display pixel unit of this integrated Micro-LED display device includes a discrete driver chip 1 and three Micro-LED chips, namely a first Micro-LED chip 2, a second Micro-LED chip 3, and a third Micro-LED chip 4. The driver chip 1 drives the first Micro-LED chip 2, the second Micro-LED chip 3, and the third Micro-LED chip 4. In this embodiment, the driver chip 1 and the three Micro-LED chips are all disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 5. The driver chip 1 and the three Micro-LED chips are all flip-chip structures, with their bonding pins located on their lower surface, thereby enabling reflow soldering or eutectic bonding with the pads on the surface of the substrate 5.
[0061] In addition to supporting the chip bonding, substrate 5 also participates in the interconnection and power supply between chips. First and second metal wiring are respectively provided on the two surfaces of substrate 5. The first metal wiring, located on the upper surface of substrate 5, includes a first input lead 61, a first output lead 62, a first GND lead 63, a first LED lead 64, and a VCC lead 65. The second metal wiring, located on the lower surface of substrate 5, includes a negative bus 71 and a positive bus 72. The negative bus 71 and the positive bus 72 are connected to the first metal wiring through first and second conductive vias 81 and 82, respectively, forming a power supply current loop. Three first LED leads 64 are provided, corresponding to the first Micro-LED chip 2, the second Micro-LED chip 3, and the third Micro-LED chip 4, respectively. All first GND leads 63 pass through substrate 5 through first conductive vias 81 to achieve electrical conduction with the negative bus 71, and all VCC leads 65 pass through substrate 5 through second conductive vias 82 to achieve electrical conduction with the positive bus 72.
[0062] In this embodiment, the positive bus 72 and the negative bus 71 are both disposed on the lower surface of the substrate 5, and the driver chip 1 and the three Micro-LED chips are disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 5. This achieves spatial separation between the power supply circuit and the device, allowing the power supply current circuit to have wider wiring and to carry a larger current, thereby improving the power supply current.
[0063] Figure 2 This is a partial schematic diagram of the first surface of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit and soldering pins of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment. Figure 4 This is a partial schematic diagram of the second surface of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment. The driver chip 1 has a VCC pin 11, a GND pin 12, an input pin 13, an output pin 14, and an LED pin 15, with three LED pins. The VCC pin 11 is soldered to the VCC lead 65, and the GND pin 12 is soldered to the first GND lead 63. In the display pixel array, all display pixel units in the same column share the same negative bus 71 and the same positive bus 72.
[0064] The Micro-LED chip has a positive terminal 21 and a negative terminal 22. The positive terminal 21 of the Micro-LED chip is soldered to the VCC lead 65, and the negative terminal 22 of the Micro-LED chip is soldered to the corresponding first LED lead 64. The three LED pins of the driver chip 1 are soldered to their corresponding first LED leads 64. Thus, in each display pixel unit, the current flowing from all the Micro-LED chips in that display pixel unit flows through the driver chip 1 in that display pixel unit.
[0065] Multiple display pixel units are arranged in an array to form a display pixel array. In the display pixel array, the driver chips 1 in all display pixel units within the same row are connected in series end-to-end via a first output lead 62. One end of the first output lead 62 is soldered to the output pin 14 of the driver chip 1 in the preceding display pixel unit within the same row, and the other end of the first output lead 62 is soldered to the input pin 13 of the driver chip 1 in the following display pixel unit within the same row. For the driver chip 1 located in the first display pixel unit of each row, its input pin 13 is soldered to the first input lead 61, its output pin 14 is soldered to one end of the first output lead 62, and the other end of the first output lead 62 is soldered to the input pin 13 of the driver chip 1 in the next display pixel unit within the same row.
[0066] In each display pixel unit, the first Micro-LED chip 2, the second Micro-LED chip 3, and the third Micro-LED chip 4 are all rectangular, and their long sides are parallel to each other. The arrangement direction of the Micro-LED chips is parallel to one side of the driver chip 1.
[0067] Figure 5 This is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment, where the arrows indicate the direction of lateral light propagation. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the driving chip and Micro-LEDs ensures that the lateral light propagation between two adjacent display pixel units in the same row of the display pixel array is blocked by the driving chip 1, thereby eliminating lateral light crosstalk between the Micro-LED chips of adjacent display pixel units. Figure 5 As can also be seen in this embodiment, the driver chip 1 and the Micro-LED chip are located directly above the positive bus 72 and the negative bus 71, respectively. The heat generated by the chip can be conducted to the metal lines of the positive bus 72 and the negative bus 71 through the longitudinal heat transfer of the substrate 5, and then the heat can be transferred outward by taking advantage of the high thermal conductivity of the metal lines themselves.
[0068] In this embodiment, the light-emitting structure of the Micro-LED chip is specifically as follows: both the first Micro-LED chip 2 and the second Micro-LED chip 3 are provided with a first semiconductor layer, a multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer, and a second semiconductor layer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer is disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer contains an n-type doped GaN layer and also contains a buffer layer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer is composed of Al... x In y Ga z The second Micro-LED chip 3 is composed of alternating layers of semiconductors with different compositions (where x+y+z=1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1) and thicknesses at the nanometer scale. The second semiconductor layer contains a p-type doped GaN layer and an electron blocking layer. The second Micro-LED chip 3 emits light in the blue band, with a typical peak wavelength of 467nm. The first Micro-LED chip 2 emits light in the green band, with a typical peak wavelength of 532nm. The third Micro-LED chip 4 comprises a first semiconductor layer, a multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer, and a second semiconductor layer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer is disposed between the first and second semiconductor layers. The first semiconductor layer contains at least one p-type doped AlGaAs layer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer is composed of Al... x Ga y In z The third Micro-LED chip 4 is composed of alternating layers of semiconductors with different compositions and thicknesses on the nanometer scale, where P (where x+y+z=1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1) and the second semiconductor layer contains at least one layer of n-type doped AlGaAs. The emission spectrum of the third Micro-LED chip 4 is in the red light band, with a typical peak wavelength of 625nm.
[0069] This invention does not limit the arrangement order of multiple Micro-LED chips with different light-emitting structures. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the second Micro-LED chip 3 is located between the first Micro-LED chip 2 and the third Micro-LED chip 4. Depending on the arrangement of the Micro-LED chips within the display pixel unit, different arrangement sequences can be used, such as the first Micro-LED chip 2 being located between the second Micro-LED chip 3 and the third Micro-LED chip 4, or the third Micro-LED chip 4 being located between the first Micro-LED chip 2 and the second Micro-LED chip 3.
[0070]
Example 2
[0071] Figure 6This is a partial schematic diagram of the first surface of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment. Figure 7 This is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the Micro-LED display device in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the GND pin 12 of the driver chip 1 is soldered to the negative bus 71. The second metal wiring also includes a second output lead 73, a second LED lead 74, and a second input lead 75. The second output lead 73 is connected to the first output lead 62 through a conductive via. The three LED pins 15 of the driver chip 1 are respectively soldered to their corresponding second LED leads 74, and the second LED leads 74 are respectively connected to the first LED leads 64 through conductive vias. The output pin 14 of the driver chip 1 is soldered to the second output lead 73, and the second output lead 73 is connected to one end of the first output lead 62 through a conductive via. The other end of the first output lead 62 serves as the first input lead 61 in the next display pixel unit in the same row. The first input lead 61 is connected to the second input lead 75 through a conductive via. The input pin 13 of the driver chip 1 is soldered to the second input lead 75.
[0072] The main difference from the display device in Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the driving chip 1 is disposed on the lower surface of the substrate 5, and the three Micro-LED chips—the first Micro-LED chip 2, the second Micro-LED chip 3, and the third Micro-LED chip 4—are disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 5. This reduces the lateral spacing between the driving chip 1 and the first Micro-LED chip 2, the second Micro-LED chip 3, and the third Micro-LED chip 4 within each display pixel unit. By separating the vertical space, the lateral spacing is reduced, thereby reducing the lateral size of the display pixel unit.
[0073]
Example 3
[0074] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the display device in this embodiment. Figure 9 This is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the display device in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the first metal wiring disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 5 further includes a negative bus 71, and the positive bus 72 is still disposed on the lower surface of the substrate 5.
[0075] In the display pixel array, the VCC leads 65 all pass through the substrate 5 via the second conductive via 82 to achieve conduction with the positive bus 72.
[0076] The driver chip 1 has a VCC pin 11, a GND pin 12, an input pin 13, an output pin 14, and three LED pins 15. The VCC pin 11 is soldered to the positive bus 72. In the display pixel array, all display pixel units in the same column share the same negative bus 71 and the same positive bus 72.
[0077] The Micro-LED chip has a positive pin 21 and a negative pin 22. The positive pins 21 are soldered to the VCC lead 65, and the negative pins 22 are soldered to their corresponding LED leads 64. The second surface metal wiring includes a second output lead, a second LED lead, a second input lead 75, and a second GND lead. There are three second LED leads, corresponding to the first Micro-LED chip 2, the second Micro-LED chip 3, and the third Micro-LED chip 4, respectively. The second output lead 73 is connected to the first output lead 62 through a conductive via. The three LED pins 15 of the driver chip 1 are soldered to their corresponding second LED leads 74. The lower surface LED leads 74 are connected to the LED lead 64 through metal vias. The second GND lead is connected to the negative bus 71 through a metal via 81. The GND pin of the driver chip 1 is soldered to the second GND lead.
[0078] In the display pixel array, the driver chips 1 in all display pixel units in the same row are connected in series end to end via output leads 62. The output pin 14 of the driver chip 1 is soldered to the second output lead 73. The second output lead 73 is connected to one end of the first output lead 62 through a conductive via. The other end of the first output lead 62 serves as the first input lead 61 in the next display pixel unit in the same row. The first input lead 61 is connected to the second input lead 75 through a conductive via. The input pin 13 of the driver chip 1 is soldered to the second input lead 75.
[0079] The remaining wiring is the same as that of the display device shown in Example 2.
[0080] In this embodiment, the negative bus 71 is located vertically above the driver chip 1 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the two are stacked together, thereby reducing the lateral size of the display pixel unit.
[0081]
Example 4
[0082] The main difference between the display device in this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the light-emitting structure of the Micro-LED chip. This embodiment uses a blue Micro-LED chip array combined with red and green fluorescence conversion to achieve full-color display. The first, second, and third Micro-LED chips are all identical. Each of the first, second, and third Micro-LED chips has a first semiconductor layer, a multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer, and a second semiconductor layer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer is disposed between the first and second semiconductor layers. The first semiconductor layer contains an n-type doped GaN layer and a buffer layer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer is formed by alternating stacks of two semiconductor layers with different compositions and nanometer-scale thicknesses, with the chemical formula AlxInyGazN (where x+y+z=1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1). The second semiconductor layer contains a p-type doped GaN layer and an electron-blocking layer. The first, second, and third Micro-LED chips all emit blue light, with a typical peak wavelength of 467nm.
[0083] Blue light is converted using red and green fluorescent materials. These materials include, but are not limited to, quantum dots, nanocrystalline luminescent materials, rare-earth ion-doped phosphors, and manganese ion-doped phosphors. Specifically:
[0084] A first fluorescence conversion layer is disposed above the first Micro-LED chip. The first fluorescence conversion layer emits green light when excited by blue light, thereby converting the light emitted from above the first Micro-LED chip into green light. The first fluorescence conversion layer contains first light-emitting particles, which are composed of quantum dots or rare-earth ion-doped light-emitting materials. The quantum dots are selected from any one or more of InP quantum dots, CdSe quantum dots, CdSe / ZnS core-shell structure quantum dots, and perovskite structure CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) quantum dots. The rare-earth ion-doped light-emitting materials include Eu... 2+ Doping with β-Sialon, Eu 2+ One or more of Li2CaSiO4 are doped.
[0085] A second fluorescence conversion layer is disposed above the third Micro-LED chip. This second fluorescence conversion layer emits red light when excited by blue light, thus converting the light emitted from above the third Micro-LED chip into red light.

[0087] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the display device in this embodiment. The main difference from the display device in embodiment 3 is that the negative bus 71 and the positive bus 72 are perpendicular to each other in space in this embodiment. Therefore, the horizontal distance between the Micro-LED chip and the positive bus 72 can be reduced, thereby reducing the area occupied by the pixel unit wiring. The pixel resolution can be improved by reducing the pixel size, or the light transmittance can be improved by increasing the proportion of the light-transmitting area of the transparent display.
