[0002] Micro-LED (Micro Light-Emitting Diode) displays offer ultra-high pixel density and self-luminescence. Compared to OLED and LCD displays, Micro-LED displays are easier to accurately adjust color, have a longer light lifespan, and offer higher brightness.

Each of the following is described in detail. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.
[0043] In the related art, the architecture design for achieving full color display of Micro-LED display panels is as follows: each pixel unit group includes a red pixel unit, a green pixel unit and a blue pixel unit, wherein the red pixel unit includes a blue LED chip and a red quantum dot film layer arranged above the blue LED chip, the green pixel unit includes a blue LED chip and a green quantum dot film layer arranged above the blue LED chip, and the blue pixel unit includes a blue LED chip. In this display architecture, since the light-emitting units in each pixel unit, that is, the LED chips, emit blue light, an additional quantum dot film layer is required to excite the quantum dots in the quantum dot film layer with monochromatic light to achieve full color display. However, the quantum dot film layer will restrict the size of the display pixels, making it difficult to improve the resolution of the display panel and increasing the manufacturing cost. At the same time, it is also easy to cause the problem of light crosstalk between adjacent pixel units.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] On the first aspect, the first embodiment of the present application provides a display panel that can achieve full color without setting a quantum dot film layer, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel, reducing manufacturing costs and improving display quality.
[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the film structure of the pixel unit group provided on one side of the array substrate according to the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, embodiment 1 of the present application provides a display panel, which includes an array substrate 10 and a plurality of pixel unit groups 20, wherein the pixel unit group 20 is arranged on one side of the array substrate 10, and each of the pixel unit groups 20 is composed of a first pixel unit 21 and a second pixel unit 22, and the first pixel unit 21 and the second pixel unit 22 are staggered in their orthographic projections on the array substrate 10, wherein the first pixel unit 21 includes a first light-emitting unit layer 213 having a first light-emitting color; the second pixel unit 22 includes a second light-emitting unit layer 223 having a second light-emitting color and a third light-emitting unit layer 226 having a third light-emitting color, and the second light-emitting unit layer 223 and the third light-emitting unit layer 226 are stacked in sequence in a direction away from the array substrate 10.
[0047] In the pixel unit group 20 provided in the present application, the first pixel unit 21 can display the first luminescent color through the first luminescent unit layer 213; the second pixel unit 22 can display the second luminescent color through the second luminescent unit layer 223, and / or display the third luminescent color through the third luminescent unit layer 226. Therefore, the display panel can directly achieve full-color display through the first pixel units 21 and the second pixel units 22 in the pixel unit group 20, without the need for a quantum dot film layer, which can effectively reduce manufacturing costs. In addition, it can eliminate the problems of pixel unit size restriction and light crosstalk caused by the provision of a quantum dot film layer, allowing the first pixel units 21 and the second pixel units 22 to be made smaller in size, thereby improving resolution and display quality.
[0048] In addition, the present application enables the second pixel unit 22 to emit the second light-emitting color and / or the third light-emitting color by stacking the second light-emitting unit layer 223 and the third light-emitting unit layer 226 in sequence in a direction away from the array substrate 10, thereby realizing the display function of two pixel units in the related art through one pixel unit, thereby reducing the number of pixel units; compared with the structure in the related art in which light-emitting unit layers of different colors are stacked in the horizontal direction, the present application can save space in the horizontal direction, reduce the layout area of the pixel unit group 20, further improve the resolution of the display panel, and can reduce the number of transfers of the pixel unit in the process, simplify the production and preparation process, and reduce the production cost.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the first luminescent color is red; the second luminescent color is one of blue and green; and the third luminescent color is the other of blue and green.
[0050] The inventors of this application have discovered that the material of the light-emitting unit layer with blue and green luminescent colors is usually InGaN / GaN quantum well material. The coaxial growth of the light-emitting unit layer with blue and green luminescent colors can ensure good epitaxial quality and obtain high light extraction efficiency. In addition, the material of the light-emitting unit layer with red luminescent color is usually AlGaInP / GaInP quantum well material. The difference in materials makes it difficult for the light-emitting unit layer with red luminescent color to grow coaxially with the light-emitting unit layer with blue and green luminescent colors. This application can ensure the luminous effect of the pixel unit and improve the production yield by selecting the first luminescent color as red; the second luminescent color as one of blue and green; and the third luminescent color as the other of blue and green.
[0051] In addition, compared with the structure in the related art in which the red light-emitting layer, the green light-emitting layer and the blue light-emitting layer are stacked in the vertical direction, the present application has no other light-emitting unit layers in the first pixel unit 21 except the light-emitting unit layer with red light-emitting color in the direction perpendicular to the array substrate 10, thereby ensuring the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting unit layer with red light-emitting color; and the luminous efficiency of the red light-emitting unit layer is currently the main factor restricting the overall luminous efficiency of the Micro-LED display panel, so improving the luminous efficiency of the red light-emitting unit layer can effectively improve the overall luminous efficiency of the display panel.
[0052] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present application can effectively balance the resolution of the display panel and the overall luminous efficiency.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the first pixel unit 21 includes a first semiconductor layer 212 of a first doping type, a first light-emitting unit layer 213, and a second semiconductor layer 214 of a second doping type, which are sequentially stacked in a direction away from the array substrate 10; the second pixel unit 22 includes a third semiconductor layer 222 of a second doping type, a second light-emitting unit layer 223, a fourth semiconductor layer 224 of a first doping type, the third light-emitting unit layer 226, and a fifth semiconductor layer 227 of a second doping type, which are sequentially stacked in a direction away from the array substrate 10; wherein the first doping type is one of N-type and P-type, and the second doping type is the other of N-type and P-type.
[0054] In the first pixel unit 21 provided herein, the first semiconductor layer 212 and the second semiconductor layer 214 on either side of the first light-emitting unit layer 213 have different doping types, thereby forming a PN junction. The luminescence state of the first light-emitting unit layer 213 can be controlled by turning on and off the PN junction. In the second pixel unit 22 provided herein, the third semiconductor layer 222 and the fourth semiconductor layer 224 on either side of the second light-emitting unit layer 223 have different doping types, thereby forming a PN junction. The luminescence state of the second light-emitting unit layer 223 can be controlled by turning on and off the PN junction. Furthermore, the fifth semiconductor layer 227 and the fourth semiconductor layer 224 on either side of the third light-emitting unit layer 226 have different doping types, thereby forming a PN junction. The luminescence state of the third light-emitting unit layer 226 can be controlled by turning on and off the PN junction. Furthermore, the luminescence states of the first light-emitting unit layer 213, the second light-emitting unit layer 223, and the third light-emitting unit layer 226 can be independently controlled by the driving circuit in the display panel, achieving full-color display.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the first doping type is P-type; the second doping type is N-type, wherein a periodic stress adjustment layer and a current diffusion layer are further provided between the second-doping type second semiconductor layer 214 and the first light-emitting unit layer 213; a periodic stress adjustment layer and a current diffusion layer are further provided between the second-doping type third semiconductor layer 222 and the second light-emitting unit layer 223; a periodic stress adjustment layer and a current diffusion layer are further provided between the second-doping type fifth semiconductor layer 227 and the third light-emitting unit layer 226; a periodic stress adjustment layer, a current diffusion layer, and a first Bragg reflector layer are further provided between the first-doping type first semiconductor layer 212 and the first light-emitting unit layer 213, the first Bragg reflector layer being capable of transmitting red light; a periodic stress adjustment layer, a current diffusion layer, and a second Bragg reflector layer are further provided between the first-doping type fourth semiconductor layer 224 and the third light-emitting unit layer 226, the second Bragg reflector layer being capable of transmitting blue light and green light. Optionally, the first and second Bragg reflectors include at least one composite film layer, wherein the composite film layer is a stacked structure formed of SiO2 and Ti3O5.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the first pixel unit 21 also includes: a first electrode 211 and a second electrode 215, the first electrode 211 is in contact with the first semiconductor layer 212 of the first doping type; the second electrode 215 is in contact with the second semiconductor layer 214 of the second doping type; the second pixel unit 22 also includes: a third electrode 221, a fourth electrode 225 and a fifth electrode 228, the third electrode 221 is in contact with the third semiconductor layer 222 of the second doping type; the fourth electrode 225 is in contact with the fourth semiconductor layer 224 of the first doping type; the fifth electrode 228 is in contact with the fifth semiconductor layer 227 of the second doping type.
[0057] The first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 are of the same electrode type, and are both anodes or cathodes, and are electrically connected to each other. That is, the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 are both anodes, or the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 are both cathodes. Since the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 are of the same electrode type, the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 can be electrically connected to the same pad on the array substrate 10, thereby reducing the number of pads, simplifying the structure of the display panel, and reducing the difficulty of bonding.
[0058] The second electrode 215, the third electrode 221, and the fifth electrode 228 are of the same electrode type, and are all either anodes or cathodes. Furthermore, the second electrode 215, the third electrode 221, and the fifth electrode 228 are insulated from each other. That is, the second electrode 215, the third electrode 221, and the fifth electrode 228 are all cathodes, or the second electrode 215, the third electrode 221, and the fifth electrode 228 are all anodes. Because the second electrode 215, the third electrode 221, and the fifth electrode 228 are insulated from each other, the first light-emitting unit layer 213, the second light-emitting unit layer 223, and the third light-emitting unit layer 226 can be independently controlled by the second electrode 215, the third electrode 221, and the fifth electrode 228, respectively, to achieve independent light emission from the first light-emitting unit layer 213, the second light-emitting unit layer 223, and the third light-emitting unit layer 226.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the first doping type fourth semiconductor layer 224 includes a first portion 2241 not covered by the third light emitting unit layer 226 , and the fourth electrode 225 is in contact with the first portion 2241 .
[0060] In the display panel provided in the present application, since the first part 2241 in the fourth semiconductor layer 224 of the first doping type is not covered by the third light-emitting unit layer 226, the fourth electrode 225 can be set on the side of the first part 2241 away from the second light-emitting unit layer 223, thereby reducing the difficulty of setting the fourth electrode 225.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the array substrate 10 includes: multiple pad groups 11, each pad group 11 corresponds to one pixel unit group 20, wherein the pad group 11 includes: a first pad 111, a second pad 112, a third pad 113 and a fourth pad 114, the first pad 111 is electrically connected to the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 respectively; the second pad 112 is electrically connected to the second electrode 215, the third pad 113 is electrically connected to the third electrode 221, and the fourth pad 114 is electrically connected to the fifth electrode 228.
[0062] In the display panel provided in the present application, since the first pad 111 is electrically connected to the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 respectively, the first electrode 211 and the fourth electrode 225 can be controlled by one pad, thereby reducing the number of pads set; since the second pad 112 is electrically connected to the second electrode 215, the third pad 113 is electrically connected to the third electrode 221, and the fourth pad 114 is electrically connected to the fifth electrode 228, the second electrode 215, the third electrode 221 and the fifth electrode 228 can be controlled respectively by the second pad 112, the third pad 113 and the third pad 113, thereby realizing independent light emission of the first light-emitting unit layer 213, the second light-emitting unit layer 223 and the third light-emitting unit layer 226.
[0063] Optionally, the array substrate 10 is an integrated circuit wafer, and the integrated circuit wafer includes a driving circuit layer and a plurality of pad groups 11 arranged on the driving circuit layer.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the first electrode 211 is arranged on the side of the first semiconductor layer 212 of the first doping type facing the array substrate 10, and the first electrode 211 is in contact and electrically connected to the first pad 111; the third electrode 221 is arranged on the side of the third semiconductor layer 222 of the second doping type facing the array substrate 10, and the third electrode 221 is in contact and electrically connected to the third pad 113.
[0065] In the display panel provided herein, the first pixel unit 21 and the second pixel unit 22 are disposed on one side of the array substrate 10, for example, by metal bonding. Since the first electrode 211 is in contact and electrically connected to the first pad 111, and the third electrode 221 is in contact and electrically connected to the third pad 113, the electrode connection structure is simplified, making the display panel thinner and lighter. Furthermore, the first pixel unit 21 and the second pixel unit 22 can be formed by chip bonding, simplifying the production process.
