[0002] In recent years, microLED displays have been anticipated as the next generation of displays for AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality).

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Figure 1 A basic schematic cross-sectional view of the microLED used in the microLED display of this embodiment is shown.
[0017] The micro LED 1 is an LED whose chip size is a rectangular planar shape, with at least one side being 100 μm or less, more preferably 50 μm or less, and which emits ultraviolet light (UV) with a wavelength of 405 nm or less. The micro LED 1 in this embodiment is not a flip-chip structure with parallel electrode configuration, but a vertical V-chip structure with vertically positioned electrode configuration.
[0018] The micro LED 1 is constructed by sequentially stacking an ITO transparent electrode 12, a p-type layer 14, a light-emitting layer 16, an n-type layer 18, and an n-electrode 20 on a conductive substrate 10 of approximately 100 μm thickness, such as copper-tungsten (CuW). The substrate 10 corresponds to the electrode of the first conductivity type, and the n-electrode 20 corresponds to the electrode of the second conductivity type.
[0019] The p-type layer 14 is composed of a p-GaN (GaN; Mg) contact layer and a (AlGaN; Mg / GaN; Mg) p-SLS (superlattice structure) layer. That is, the p-GaN contact layer is formed on the heat-dissipating substrate 10 via a transparent electrode 12 of ITO.
[0020] The light-emitting layer 16 is composed of an (InGaN / AlGaN) MQW (multiple quantum well) layer.
[0021] The n-type layer 18 consists of a (AlInGaN) / (InGaN;Si)n-SLS (superlattice structure) layer and a (GaN;Si) contact layer.
[0022] Here, for example (GaN; Si) shows GaN doped with Si. The emission wavelength in this structure is specifically 385 nm, but it can also be, for example, 400 nm. Although the basic epitaxial structures of 385 nm and 400 nm are the same, due to the bandgap energy, the (InGaN / AlInGaN) MQW emitting layer 16 has a higher Al content and a lower In content compared to 400 nm.
[0023] Furthermore, the side surface of the micro-LED1 is formed with an inclined surface (conical shape) such that the width of the micro-LED1 gradually narrows relative to the stacking direction from the substrate 10 to the n-electrode 20, and a passivation layer 22 of SiO2 is formed on the side surface with the inclined surface. The angle of the inclined surface is arbitrary, but for example, from the viewpoint of maximizing the derived efficiency, 45 degrees is preferred.
[0024] In the micro-LED1, the side area ratio generally increases with miniaturization. However, in this embodiment, by using a V-chip structure instead of a flip-chip structure, the light extraction efficiency from the side is improved. Furthermore, by setting the shape of this side to an inclined surface, the area of the side of the light-emitting layer 16 can be larger than that of a vertical side, further improving the light extraction efficiency from the side.
[0025] In addition, by using a substrate 10 with excellent heat dissipation properties, such as copper-tungsten, on the p-electrode side, heat dissipation can be improved, allowing for the application of a larger current, thus suppressing the decrease in luminous efficiency caused by heat generation.
[0026] Figure 2A It shows the use of Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of a microLED display of a microLED 1 (hereinafter referred to as microUV-LED chip 1). Multiple (only 3 are shown in the figure) micro UV-LED chips 1 are formed separately on a common copper-tungsten (CuW) substrate 10. In addition, the multiple micro UV-LED chips 1 are arranged in a two-dimensional array on a plane.
[0027] A reflective barrier material 24 is erected between adjacent micro-UV-LED chips 1, parallel to the stacking direction of the micro-UV-LED chips 1, in other words, parallel to the normal direction of the surface of the substrate 10. The reflective barrier material 24 has the function of preventing light from adjacent micro-UV-LED chips 1 from leaking to other micro-UV-LED chips 1, and reflecting lateral light from the micro-UV-LED chips 1 to increase the light extraction efficiency in the light extraction direction (upper part in the figure). Therefore, it is made of a material such as aluminum that reflects light (ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 405 nm) from the sides of the micro-UV-LED chips 1. Furthermore, the height of the reflective barrier material 24 is the same as the height of the micro-UV-LED chips 1. Multiple micro-UV-LED chips 1 are surrounded and separated by reflective barrier materials 24.
[0028] Figure 2B A schematic plan view showing the positional relationship between the micro UV-LED chip 1 and the reflective blocking material 24 is shown. The reflective blocking material 24 is formed around the micro UV-LED chip 1, which has a rectangular planar shape. Furthermore, from... Figure 2A It can be seen that the reflective blocking material 24 is formed on the passivation layer 22 of SiO2. Since the micro UV-LED chip 1 is surrounded by the reflective blocking material 24, all the light emitted from the side of the light-emitting layer 16 is reflected by the reflective blocking material 24.
[0029] Back to Figure 2A A film-shaped wiring substrate 26 is formed on multiple micro UV-LED chips 1. Three n-type electrodes are formed on the film-shaped wiring substrate 26, each facing an n-electrode 20 of one of the three adjacent micro UV-LED chips 1, so that the film-shaped wiring substrate 26 is bonded to the n-electrodes 20 and the three n-type electrodes of the three adjacent micro UV-LED chips 1. Since the height of the reflective blocking material 24 is the same as the height of the micro UV-LED chips 1, the bonding of the film-shaped wiring substrate 26 is facilitated and homogenized. The wiring substrate 26 includes a driving circuit for driving the multiple micro UV-LED chips 1. The driving circuit includes a row selection circuit for selecting each row of the micro UV-LED chips 1 configured in a two-dimensional array, a column selection circuit for selecting each column, and an image processing circuit for generating a light emission signal based on an input signal.
[0030] On the film-like wiring substrate 26, R phosphor 28R, G phosphor 28G, and B phosphor 28B are further applied to form a film-like wavelength conversion layer 32 with high ultraviolet transmittance, comprising a blocking material 30 that separates these phosphors 28R, 28G, and 28B from each other. R phosphor 28R is configured, for example, as phosphor powder dispersed in a transparent resin curing material. This phosphor powder receives ultraviolet light from the micro UV-LED chip 1 and emits red light with a wavelength longer than that ultraviolet light. For example, LOS:Eu is used as the red phosphor powder. Additionally, for example, BAM:Eu,Mn is used as the green phosphor powder, and for example, BAM:Eu is used as the blue phosphor powder, but these are not limited to these. Here, LOS is La2O2S, and BAM is (Ba,Mg)Al. 10 O 17 .
[0031] exist Figure 2A In this pixel, an R phosphor 28R is disposed on the left-hand microUV-LED chip 1 among three adjacent microUV-LED chips 1, a G phosphor 28G is disposed on the central microUV-LED chip 1, and a B phosphor 28B is disposed on the right-hand microUV-LED chip 1. These three adjacent microUV-LED chips 1, along with phosphors 28R, 28G, and 28B, constitute one pixel. Ultraviolet light from the left-hand microUV-LED chip 1 is converted to a red wavelength by the R phosphor 28R and emitted outwards. Ultraviolet light from the central microUV-LED chip 1 is converted to a green wavelength by the G phosphor 28G and emitted outwards. Ultraviolet light from the right-hand microUV-LED chip 1 is converted to a blue wavelength by the B phosphor 28B and emitted outwards.
[0032] Furthermore, ultraviolet light emitted from the tilted side of the left-hand microUV-LED chip 1 out of the three adjacent microUV-LED chips 1 is reflected by a reflective blocking material 24 formed in a manner that surrounds the microUV-LED chip 1, and a portion of it is converted into a red wavelength by the R phosphor 28R and emitted outward. The same applies to the other microUV-LED chips 1.
[0033] Thus, in this embodiment, full color is obtained by exciting red, green, and blue phosphors with the same type of micro UV-LED chip 1, so mass transfer can be achieved through transfer printing instead of pick-and-place.
[0034] In addition, since the visible light component in the spectrum of the micro UV-LED chip 1 is weak, even if the characteristics of the UV-LED are assumed to be deviated, the effect on the emission color of the phosphor is small.
[0035] Furthermore, with the miniaturization of the micro UV-LED chip 1, the side area ratio increases relatively, thus improving the light extraction efficiency from the side by V-chip scaling. Moreover, this improvement in light extraction efficiency is further enhanced by the combined use of the inclined surface of the side of the micro UV-LED chip 1 and the reflective blocking material 24.
[0036] Furthermore, by using a copper-tungsten (CuW) substrate 10, heat dissipation characteristics are improved, allowing for the application of a larger driving current. Additionally, the reduction in luminous efficiency caused by heat generation during driving can be suppressed.
[0037] Next, the manufacturing method of the micro LED display according to this embodiment will be described.
[0038] Figures 3 to 11 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a method for manufacturing a micro LED display. First, as... Figure 3 As shown, an LED structure is formed on a sapphire substrate 30 by crystallization growth using metal-organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) in the order of GaN buffer layer 32, n-type layer 18, light-emitting layer 16, and p-type layer 14. Here, the n-type layer 18 includes an SLS (superlattice structure) layer, and the p-type layer 14 also includes an SLS layer. Furthermore, the light-emitting layer 16 includes an MQW (Multi-Layered Winding) layer of InGaN / AlGaN.
[0039] Then, a transparent ITO electrode 12 is formed by vapor deposition on the p-type layer, and a conductive substrate 10 with a thickness of about 100 μm, such as a copper tungsten (CuW) substrate 10, is bonded thereon.
[0040] Next, as Figure 4 As shown, after peeling off the sapphire substrate 30 and the GaN buffer layer 32, as Figure 5 As shown, multiple micro-LED chips with a size of 100 μm or less, more preferably 50 μm or less, are formed by isolating etching from the n-layer side. In this isolating etching process, the etching is performed in a manner that makes the side surface of the micro-LED chip an inclined surface (conical surface). The technique of forming an inclined surface by etching is known. The angle of the inclined surface, that is, the angle relative to the stacking direction of the micro-LED chip, is, for example, 45 degrees.
[0041] Next, as Figure 6 As shown, n electrodes 20 are formed by vapor deposition on the n-type layer surface of each of the isolated micro-LED chips.
[0042] Next, as Figure 7 As shown, a passivation layer 22 of SiO2 is formed in the region other than the n electrode 20 on the n-layer side of all micro LED chips to passivate them.
[0043] Next, as Figure 8 As shown, a reflective barrier material 24, made of a highly reflective material such as aluminum, is formed between adjacent micro-LED chips.
[0044] Next, as Figure 9 As shown, a film-shaped wiring substrate 26 having an n-type electrode 25 is bonded together in such a way that the n-electrodes 20 and n-type electrodes 25 of all the micro LED chips are joined together.
[0045] Figure 10 A partial plan view of the film-like wiring substrate 26 is shown. It represents the structure of one pixel corresponding to three adjacent micro-LED chips. Three n-type electrodes 25 are configured and connected to the driving circuit 27.
[0046] Then, as Figure 11 As shown, a film-like wavelength conversion layer 32, after being coated with R phosphor 28R, G phosphor 28G, and B phosphor 28B separated by a blocking material 30, is attached to a micro LED chip.
[0047] By manufacturing micro-LED displays through the processes described above, mass transfer can be achieved instead of pick-and-place, thus reducing the installation time. In other words, while manufacturing RGB or UV LED chips separately and using them as pixels to create a display requires the assembly of a large number of extremely small LEDs (less than 50μm) with high precision, this significantly reduces the time compared to picking up and assembling these LED chips individually.
[0048] Furthermore, since the sapphire substrate 30 and GaN buffer layer 32 are separated during manufacturing, there is no laser cutting process for the sapphire substrate 30. Therefore, damage to the LED chip sides due to heat generated by laser irradiation is avoided, preventing a decrease in luminous efficiency. In contrast, when using a flip-chip structure, red GaP-type LEDs are bonded to a sapphire substrate to ensure strength, and are cut using an excimer laser in the same way as green and blue InGaN-type LEDs, this cutting process causes significant heat-induced damage and blackening to the chip sides, reducing the chip's luminous efficiency. However, the manufacturing method of this embodiment prevents such heat-induced damage, avoiding a decrease in luminous efficiency.
[0049] In addition, by using a V-chip structure instead of an electrode configuration parallel flip-chip structure, the space required for n electrodes in the flip-chip is eliminated, thus increasing the number of chips that can be fabricated from the grown wafer (by about 2 times).
[0050] Furthermore, by forming an inclined surface on the side of the LED chip during the isolation etching process, the area of the side of the light-emitting layer is increased. Combined with the reflective blocking material 24 that is vertically arranged parallel to the stacking direction of the LED chip, the light extraction efficiency from the lateral direction is improved.
[0051] <First Variation> In one embodiment, a reflective barrier material 24 is erected between the micro LED chips, and then a film-shaped wiring substrate 26 is bonded together. However, the film-shaped wiring substrate 26 with the reflective barrier material 24 can also be positioned such that the reflective barrier material 24 is located between the micro LED chips while bonding is being performed.
[0052] Figure 12 A cross-sectional view of the first modified example is shown. (As shown) Figure 7 As shown, after forming the SiO2 passivation layer 22, a film-shaped wiring substrate 26 having a reflective blocking material 24 formed according to the pixel size is attached in such a way that the reflective blocking material 24 is inserted between the micro LED chips, and the n-electrode 20 of each micro LED chip is bonded to the n-type electrode 25 of the wiring substrate 26.
[0053] According to this manufacturing method, since the wiring substrate 26 and the reflective blocking material 24 are integrated, the placement of the reflective blocking material 24 can be more firmly fixed, and the manufacturing process can be further simplified.
[0054] <Second Variation> In addition, in this embodiment, a reflective barrier material 24 is erected between the micro LED chips, and then a film-shaped wiring substrate 26 is bonded. However, after erecting the reflective barrier material 24, a silicon-based resin containing dispersed phosphors can be filled in the gap between the micro LED chips and the reflective barrier material 24, and then the film-shaped wiring substrate 26 can be bonded.
[0055] Figure 13 A cross-sectional view of the second modified example is shown. (As shown) Figure 8 As shown, after the reflective blocking material 24 is erected between the micro-LED chips, the gap between the micro-LED chips and the reflective blocking material 24 is filled with silicon-based resins 29R, 29G, and 29B in which phosphors are dispersed. Then, as... Figure 14 As shown, a film-like wiring substrate 26 is bonded.
[0056] Based on this structure, since the silicone resin containing dispersed phosphors is filled, it is not necessary to use... Figure 11 The phosphor is placed after the film-like wiring substrate 26 is bonded, which simplifies the process. Alternatively, the film-like wavelength conversion layer 32 can be bonded to the micro-LED chip after filling with silicone resin, if needed.
