[0039] The features and exemplary embodiments of each aspect of the present invention will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present invention and are not configured to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only for providing a better understanding of the present invention by showing examples of the present invention.
[0040] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising said element.
[0041] In the laser transfer technology, the accuracy of the landing point of the light-emitting diode chip is low, and Micro / Mini light-emitting diode chips often easily exhibit phenomena such as standing on side, rotational misalignment, and flipping. The inventor found during long-term in-depth research that during the laser transfer process, it is necessary to use a laser to strike the contact surface between the sacrificial layer and the light-emitting diode chip on the transfer substrate. After the sacrificial layer absorbs the laser energy, it becomes de-bonded, causing the light-emitting diode chip to separate from the sacrificial layer and fall onto the driving substrate. During the falling process of the light-emitting diode chip, there is a gap between the transfer substrate and the driving substrate. Due to the light weight of the light-emitting diode chip and the influence of external atmosphere disturbance and the rebounding effect of the driving substrate, the light-emitting diode chip is prone to rotational misalignment, standing on side, and flipping after falling onto the driving backplane, resulting in misalignment of the light-emitting diode chip after falling and reducing the accuracy of the landing point of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0042] Based on the discovery and analysis of the above problems, this application is proposed.
[0043] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1FIG. 0 is a schematic diagram of a layer structure of an embodiment in the transfer substrate provided by the first aspect of the present application. The first aspect of the present application provides a transfer substrate 1 for transferring a light-emitting diode chip 1311 from a growth substrate to a driving backplane, including a substrate 11, a sacrificial layer 12, and a chip transfer layer 13. In some embodiments, the substrate 11 is made of ordinary glass or quartz glass. The sacrificial layer 12 is disposed on the substrate 11. The sacrificial layer 12 contains a photosensitive adhesive, and the photosensitive adhesive absorbs the energy of the laser beam under the action of the laser and detaches from the adhered light-emitting diode chip 1311, so that the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is transferred to the driving backplane. The chip transfer layer 13 is disposed on the side of the sacrificial layer 12 facing away from the substrate 11. The chip transfer layer 13 includes a chip layer 131 and a counterweight layer 132 arranged in a stacked manner. Among them, the chip layer 131 includes a plurality of spaced-apart light-emitting diode chips 1311, and the counterweight layer 132 includes a plurality of spaced-apart counterweight portions 1321. The counterweight portions 1321 are in one-to-one contact with the light-emitting diode chips 1311, and the counterweight portions 1321 are used to be transferred to the driving backplane together with the light-emitting diode chips 1311.
[0044] The first aspect of the present application provides a transfer substrate 1. The counterweight portion 1321 increases the overall weight during the transfer of the light-emitting diode chip 1311, improves the balance during the transfer of the light-emitting diode chip 1311, and better resists external disturbances during the transfer process and the rebound effect when contacting the driving backplane. The design of the counterweight portion 1321 can better improve the position accuracy of the transfer of the light-emitting diode chip 1311, reduce the rotation and flip-chip phenomena of the light-emitting diode chip 1311, and thus improve the transfer accuracy of the light-emitting diode chip 1311.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, the counterweight layer 132 and the sacrificial layer 12 are stacked and in contact with each other, and the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is disposed on the side of the counterweight portion 1321 facing away from the sacrificial layer 12. In these embodiments, the counterweight portion 1321 may include a photosensitive adhesive material, an organic material, etc., such as PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) material. During the process of laser peeling the chip transfer layer 13, the laser is applied to the contact interface between the counterweight layer 132 and the sacrificial layer 12 to separate the counterweight layer 132 from the sacrificial layer 12. In some examples, the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is disposed facing away from the counterweight layer 132. In these embodiments, the counterweight layer 132 is disposed between the chip layer 131 and the sacrificial layer 12. The design of the counterweight layer 132 can avoid damage to the sacrificial layer 12 and the light-emitting diode chip 1311 by the laser during the process of laser peeling the chip transfer layer 13 from the transfer substrate 1, thereby improving the laser peeling effect.
[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the vertical distance K1 from the center of gravity position of the counterweight portion 1321 to the contact surface between the counterweight portion 1321 and the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is less than or equal to the vertical distance K2 from the center of gravity position of the counterweight portion 1321 to the contact surface between the counterweight portion 1321 and the sacrificial layer 12. In some embodiments, the center of gravity position of the counterweight portion 1321 is closer to the light-emitting diode chip 1311, so that the overall center of gravity of the combination of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the corresponding counterweight portion 1321 moves downward. During the process of the counterweight portion 1321 being transferred to the driving backplane together with the light-emitting diode chip 1311, the combination of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the corresponding counterweight portion 1321 can fall more quickly and accurately onto the preset position of the driving backplane, avoiding problems such as transfer deviation and flip-chip side-standing of the light-emitting diode chip 1311. The light-emitting diode chip 1311 can be a front-mounted structure or a flip-chip structure. The light-emitting diode chip 1311 includes an epitaxial layer c and a first electrode a and a second electrode b disposed on one side of the epitaxial layer c. In some examples, the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 where the electrodes are provided faces away from the counterweight portion 1321. In some other examples, the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 where the electrodes are provided faces the counterweight portion 1321, which is not shown in the figure.
[0047] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the layer structure of another embodiment of the transfer substrate provided in the first aspect of the present application. In some alternative embodiments, the chip layer 131 and the sacrificial layer 12 are stacked and in contact with each other, and the counterweight portion 1321 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 facing away from the sacrificial layer 12. In these embodiments, when the chip transfer layer 13 is separated from the sacrificial layer 12 by using a laser transfer technology, after the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the corresponding counterweight portion 1321 fall onto the driving backplane together, there is no need to set an additional process step to remove the counterweight portion 1321. While improving the transfer accuracy of the light-emitting diode chip 1311, the preparation efficiency of the display panel having the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is improved.
[0048] As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3FIG. 0 is a schematic diagram of a layer structure of still another embodiment of the transfer substrate provided in the first aspect of the present application. In some alternative embodiments, the chip layer 131 and the sacrificial layer 12 are stacked and in contact with each other. The counterweight portion 1321 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 facing away from the sacrificial layer 12. The counterweight portion 1321 has a frustum of a pyramid structure. The upper bottom surface of the counterweight portion 1321 is in contact with the light-emitting diode chip 1311, and the lower bottom surface of the counterweight portion 1321 faces away from the light-emitting diode chip 1311. In some examples, the counterweight portion 1321 has a regular frustum of a pyramid structure. In these embodiments, since the counterweight portion 1321 has a frustum of a pyramid structure and the area of the upper bottom surface of the counterweight portion 1321 is smaller than the area of the lower bottom surface, when the whole formed by the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the counterweight portion 1321 is transferred to the driving backplane, the contact area between the whole formed by the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the counterweight portion 1321 and the driving backplane increases, and the center of gravity of the whole formed by the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the counterweight portion 1321 moves downward, further avoiding problems such as side standing and flipping of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 during the transfer process, ensuring that the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is transferred to the driving backplane in an upright posture, and further enhancing the position accuracy of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 after the transfer.
[0049] In some alternative embodiments, the vertical distance K1 from the center of gravity position of the counterweight portion 1321 to the contact surface between the counterweight portion 1321 and the light-emitting diode chip 1311 is less than or equal to the vertical distance K3 from the center of gravity position of the counterweight portion 1321 to the surface of the counterweight portion 1321 facing away from the light-emitting diode chip 1311. In some embodiments, the center of gravity position of the counterweight portion 1321 is closer to the light-emitting diode chip 1311, so that the center of gravity of the whole formed by the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the corresponding counterweight portion 1321 moves downward. During the process of the counterweight portion 1321 being transferred to the driving backplane together with the light-emitting diode chip 1311, the whole formed by the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the corresponding counterweight portion 1321 falls on the preset position of the driving backplane more quickly and accurately, avoiding problems such as transfer deviation and flip-chip side standing of the light-emitting diode chip 1311. In some examples, the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 where the electrodes are provided faces away from the counterweight portion 1321. In some other examples, the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 where the electrodes are provided faces the counterweight portion 1321, which is not shown in the figure.
[0050] In some alternative embodiments, in the thickness direction of the transfer substrate 1, the thickness of the counterweight portion 1321 is less than or equal to the thickness of the corresponding light-emitting diode chip 1311. In some embodiments, the thickness of the counterweight portion 1321 is less than the thickness of the corresponding light-emitting diode chip 1311, which can reduce the thickness of the display panel with the counterweight portion 1321 retained and improve the user experience.
[0051] In some alternative embodiments, in the thickness direction of the transfer substrate 1, the center of gravity of the counterweight portion 1321 and the center of gravity of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 are on the same vertical line. In these embodiments, the center of gravity of the counterweight portion 1321 and the center of gravity of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 being on the same vertical line ensures the alignment of the center of gravity of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 and the corresponding counterweight portion 1321, avoiding the influence on the transfer alignment due to the different center-of-gravity positions of the two, and further improving the accuracy of the transfer of the light-emitting diode chip 1311.
[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the orthographic projection of the counterweight portion 1321 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 on the substrate 1.
[0053] In some alternative embodiments, the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 where the electrodes are provided faces the counterweight portion 1321, or the electrode side of the light-emitting diode chip 1311 where the electrodes are provided faces away from the counterweight portion 1321.
