Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display module and a display device. Background Art
[0002] Inorganic light-emitting diodes (ILDs) are solid-state light sources with high brightness and luminous efficiency. In the display technology field, they are primarily used as backlights for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and outdoor full-color displays. Compared to LCDs and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), ILDs offer significant advantages in low power consumption, fast response, and high light efficiency, and hold significant commercial value in technologies such as high-resolution displays, virtual reality, and augmented reality.
[0003] Currently, in order to achieve other colors or full-color display of inorganic light-emitting diodes, it is often necessary to stack multiple inorganic light-emitting diodes together in a horizontal stacking or vertical stacking manner. Vertical stacking has the advantage of significantly improving the PPI compared to horizontal stacking. However, in order to achieve vertical stacking of multiple inorganic light-emitting diodes, it is often necessary to form steps on the sides of the multiple vertically stacked inorganic light-emitting diode devices to accommodate the common electrode. However, if the size of the step is too large, the layout space of the inorganic light-emitting diode devices will be reduced. If the size of the step is too small, the process difficulty of the common electrode will be increased and the yield rate of the common electrode will be reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0049] In the following detailed description, only certain embodiments of the present invention are shown and described simply by way of illustration. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the embodiments described herein may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
[0050] In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc. may be exaggerated for clarity, better understanding, and ease of description. It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present.
[0051] In addition, unless explicitly described to the contrary, the word "comprise" and its variations such as "comprising" or "containing" will be understood to imply the inclusion of the elements discussed but not necessarily the exclusion of other elements. Further, in the specification, the word "on..." refers to placement above or below an object part, and does not necessarily mean placement on the upper side of the object part based on the direction of gravity.
[0052] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These components are only used to distinguish one component from another.
[0053] As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0054] It will also be understood that the terms “comprises” and / or “comprising” used herein specify the presence of stated features or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features or components.
[0055] It will be understood that when a layer, region or component is referred to as being “formed on” another layer, region or component, it can be directly or indirectly formed on the other layer, region or component. For example, intervening layers, regions or components may be present.
[0056] In the following examples, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis are not limited to the three axes of the rectangular coordinate system and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 At present, in a vertically stacked LED display module, a first LED 2, a second LED 3, and a third LED 4 are often stacked in sequence on a substrate 1, and each LED needs to be connected to a corresponding independent electrode and a common common electrode 8. For example, the first LED 2 is connected to the first independent electrode 5, the second LED 3 is connected to the second independent electrode 6, and the third LED 4 is connected to the third independent electrode 7. In addition, the first LED 2, the second LED 3, and the third LED 4 also need to be connected to the common electrode 8 to achieve light emission. However, since the common electrode 8 is located on the side of the three stacked LEDs, and a step needs to be etched at each LED to accommodate the common electrode 8, and a gap 9 needs to be left between the LED and the common electrode 8 to avoid interference and disturbance, if the size of the step is too large, the arrangement space, light-emitting area, and aperture ratio of the LED will be reduced. If the size of the step is too small, the process difficulty of the common electrode 8 will be increased and the yield rate of the common electrode 8 will be reduced. Therefore, Figure 1 The display module shown has large process limitations and is difficult to meet the development of display technology.
[0058] Please refer to Figures 2 to 7 An embodiment of the present invention provides a display module, which includes a substrate 10 and a light-emitting functional layer arranged on the substrate 10, and the light-emitting functional layer includes a plurality of light-emitting devices 20, a plurality of independent electrodes 30 and at least two common electrodes 40.
[0059] In which, the light-emitting device 20 includes at least two sub-light-emitting devices arranged along a first direction Y perpendicular to the substrate 10; a plurality of independent electrodes 30 are connected to each sub-light-emitting device; at least two common electrodes 40 are arranged between adjacent light-emitting devices 20, and the number of common electrodes 40 is greater than or equal to the number of sub-light-emitting devices in the light-emitting device 20.
[0060] Furthermore, the common electrode 40 is connected to the sub-light emitting devices along the first direction Y. The common electrode 40 and the independent electrodes 30 are located on different sides of the sub-light emitting devices, and each sub-light emitting device is electrically connected to the common electrode 40 .
[0061] During the implementation and application process, the embodiment of the present invention realizes the connection between the common electrode 40 and the sub-light-emitting device by setting the common electrode 40 between adjacent light-emitting devices 20, and at the same time connecting the common electrode 40 to the sub-light-emitting device along the first direction Y, avoiding the setting of the step area in the light-emitting device 20, reducing the process difficulty, and can improve the yield rate of the display module and improve the performance of the display module; in addition, since the embodiment of the present invention does not require the formation of steps at the side walls of the light-emitting device 20, nor does it require the leaving of gaps at the steps to maintain a distance from the common electrode 40, and the common electrode 40 and the independent electrode 30 are located on different sides of the sub-light-emitting device, the embodiment of the present invention can effectively increase the light-emitting area of the light-emitting device 20 and improve the aperture ratio.
[0062] Specifically, please continue to combine Figures 2 to 7 The display module provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 10 and a light-emitting functional layer disposed on the substrate 10 .

For example, if the number of sub-light-emitting devices in one light-emitting device 20 is two, the number of common electrodes 40 needs to be greater than or equal to 2, or if the number of sub-light-emitting devices in one light-emitting device 20 is three, the number of common electrodes 40 needs to be greater than or equal to 3.
[0065] In one embodiment, the light-emitting device 20 includes a first sub-light-emitting device 21, a second sub-light-emitting device 22, and a third sub-light-emitting device 23 arranged in sequence along a first direction Y perpendicular to the substrate 10, that is, the first sub-light-emitting device 21 is located between the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the substrate 10, and the third sub-light-emitting device 23 is located on a side of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 away from the first sub-light-emitting device 21.

[0067] In one embodiment, the material of the first bonding layer 51 may include a metal material, and the metal material has a reflective effect, so that while playing the role of bonding the first sub-light-emitting device 21, it can also reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 to the side of the substrate 10, so as to improve the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device 20; the material of the second bonding layer 52, the third bonding layer 53 and the covering layer 54 may include silicon oxide material, so that the second bonding layer 52 and the third bonding layer 53 are transparent film layers, which will not affect the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting device 20 while playing the role of bonding the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23.
[0068] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the substrate 10 may be a silicon material substrate, and the driving circuit unit may be arranged on the substrate 10. In this case, the first sub-light-emitting device 21 may be directly connected to the substrate 10 through the first bonding layer 51; in addition, in another embodiment, the display module may also include a driving circuit layer arranged between the substrate 10 and the light-emitting functional layer, and the driving circuit unit is arranged in the driving circuit layer. In this case, the first sub-light-emitting device 21 may be connected to the driving circuit layer through the first bonding layer 51.
[0069] The light-emitting functional layer further includes an independent electrode 30 and a common electrode 40 for connecting the light-emitting device 20 with the driving circuit unit to achieve signal transmission.
[0070] Among them, the independent electrode 30 includes a first independent electrode 31 connected to the first sub-light-emitting device 21, a second independent electrode 32 connected to the second sub-light-emitting device 22, and a third independent electrode 33 connected to the third sub-light-emitting device 23; and the first independent electrode 31, the second independent electrode 32 and the third independent electrode 33 can be respectively connected to different switching tubes in the driving circuit unit, such as thin film transistors or CMOS tubes, to achieve independent control of the first sub-light-emitting device 21, the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23.

[0073] It should be noted that, compared to Figure 1 In the display module shown, in the process of forming stacked LEDs, it is still necessary to set gaps between adjacent stacked LEDs to separate them. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned common electrode 40 can be set in the gap between adjacent light-emitting devices 20, and no additional space is required to set the common electrode 40. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can further increase the light-emitting area of the light-emitting device 20 and improve the aperture ratio.
[0074] In one embodiment, a plurality of light emitting devices 20 are arranged in an array along a second direction X1 and a third direction X2 parallel to the substrate 10, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0076] It should be noted that the first common electrode 41, the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43 are respectively located between different and adjacent light-emitting devices 20, and only one of the first common electrode 41, the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43 is set between the light-emitting devices 20 adjacent along the second direction X1. Similarly, only one of the first common electrode 41, the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43 is set between the light-emitting devices 20 adjacent along the third direction X2.
[0077] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , including a plurality of first common electrodes 41 extending along the second direction X1 and along the third direction X2, a plurality of second common electrodes 42 extending along the second direction X1, and a plurality of third common electrodes 43 extending along the third direction X2; further, in the third direction X2, the second common electrodes 42 are located between adjacent first common electrodes 41, and in the second direction X1, the third common electrodes 43 are located between adjacent first common electrodes 41.

Figure 8 The repeating units shown are each composed of four light emitting devices 20 .
[0079] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 8 In each repeating unit, the light-emitting device 20 includes a first side opposite to the common electrode 40 and other second sides, and the arrangement space at the second side of the light-emitting device 20 is larger than the arrangement space at the first side. In the embodiment of the present invention, the independent electrode 30 is arranged on the second side of the light-emitting device 20, so that the independent electrode 30 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting device 20 away from the common electrode 40, which can leave sufficient space for the arrangement of the independent electrode 30 and avoid interference and interference between the independent electrode 30 and the common electrode 40.
[0080] It should be noted that each light-emitting device 20 may include two first sides and two second sides, that is, a common electrode 40 is provided on at least one side of each light-emitting device 20, and multiple common electrodes 40 can be connected to form a mesh structure, and the light-emitting device 20 or the above-mentioned repeating unit can be located in the mesh of the mesh structure, thereby reducing the resistance of the common electrode 40 and improving the voltage drop phenomenon of the common electrode 40.
[0081] It is understood that when a common electrode 40 is provided on at least one side of each light emitting device 20, the number of sides of the light emitting device 20 needs to be greater than or equal to the number of sub-light emitting devices in the light emitting device 20.

An independent electrode 30 (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the other side of the light-emitting device 20, wherein the arrangement direction of each common electrode 40 can be parallel to the direction of the side of the adjacent light-emitting device 20. The first common electrode 41 extends along the fourth direction X3 and is arranged opposite to the bottom side of the triangular light-emitting device 20, and a first common electrode 41 is provided every two rows of light-emitting devices 20, that is, two rows of light-emitting devices 20 are provided between two adjacent first common electrodes 41; the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43 both extend along the fifth direction X4 and are arranged opposite to the side of the triangular light-emitting device 20.
[0084] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 11The light emitting devices 20 are also triangular in shape, and a plurality of light emitting devices 20 are arranged in an array, and two sides of each light emitting device 20 are adjacent to the common electrode 40, and an independent electrode 30 (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the other side of the light emitting device 20, wherein the arrangement direction of each common electrode 40 can be parallel to the direction of the side of the adjacent light emitting device 20, the first common electrode 41 extends along the fourth direction X3 and is arranged opposite to the bottom side of the triangular light emitting device 20, and any two adjacent rows of light emitting devices 20 are provided with a first common electrode 41; the second common electrode 41 is provided on the bottom side of the light emitting device 20; The pole 42 and the third common electrode 43 are both arranged opposite to the side of the triangular light-emitting device 20. Specifically, the second common electrode 42 includes a first segment 421 extending along the fifth direction X4 and a second segment 422 extending along the sixth direction X5, and the first segment 421 and the second segment 422 are located between adjacent light-emitting devices 20 and arranged alternately. The third common electrode 43 includes a third segment 431 extending along the fifth direction X4 and a fourth segment 432 extending along the sixth direction X5, and the third segment 431 and the fourth segment 432 are located between adjacent light-emitting devices 20 and arranged alternately.
[0085] Please combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 ,in Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure taken along line AA, Figure 5 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure taken along line BB, Figure 6 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure taken along the CC line, Figure 7 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure taken along line DD.
[0086] The independent electrode 30 is at least provided on the upper surface of each sub-light emitting device. The first independent electrode 31 is provided on the upper surface of the first sub-light emitting device 21 and is connected to the driving circuit unit in the substrate 10 through the first bonding layer 51; the second independent electrode 32 is provided on the upper surface of the second sub-light emitting device 22 and is connected to the driving circuit unit through the second bonding layer 52 and the first bonding layer 51. Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown; the third independent electrode 33 is provided on the upper surface of the third sub-light emitting device 23 and is connected to the driving circuit unit through the third bonding layer 53, the second bonding layer 52 and the first bonding layer 51, as shown Figure 5 shown.
[0087] In one embodiment, the materials of the first independent electrode 31 , the second independent electrode 32 , and the third independent electrode 33 may include a transparent conductive material, such as an ITO material.
[0088] Furthermore, the first common electrode 41 passes through the cover layer 54, the third bonding layer 53, and the second bonding layer 52 along the first direction Y and is connected to the first sub-light emitting device 21, as shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 7 The second common electrode 42 passes through the cover layer 54 and the third bonding layer 53 along the first direction Y and is connected to the second sub-light emitting device 22, as shown Figure 6 and Figure 7 The third common electrode 43 passes through the cover layer 54 along the first direction Y and is connected to the third sub-light emitting device 23, as shown; Figure 4 and Figure 5 Therefore, the thickness of the first common electrode 41 along the first direction Y is greater than the thickness of the second common electrode 42 along the first direction Y, and the thickness of the third common electrode 43 along the first direction Y is less than the thickness of the second common electrode 42 along the first direction Y.
[0089] Furthermore, since the via hole through which the first common electrode 41 passes is the deepest, the via hole through which the second common electrode 42 passes is the second deepest, and the via hole through which the third common electrode 43 passes is the shallowest, the orthographic projection width of the first common electrode 41 on the substrate 10 is greater than the orthographic projection width of the second common electrode 42 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection width of the second common electrode 42 on the substrate 10 is greater than the orthographic projection width of the third common electrode 43 on the substrate 10; this can effectively reduce the resistance of the first common electrode 41, improve the voltage drop phenomenon, and improve the signal transmission uniformity of the common electrode 40.
[0090] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, there is an intersection between the first common electrode 41, the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43, wherein the first common electrode 41 can be set at the intersection of the first common electrode 41 and the second common electrode 42, that is, the first common electrode 41 is set at the intersection of the first common electrode 41 and the second common electrode 42 and can pass through the covering layer 54, the third bonding layer 53, the second bonding layer 52 along the first direction Y and be connected to the first sub-light-emitting device 21; the third common electrode 43 can be set at the intersection of the first common electrode 41 and the third common electrode 43, that is, the third common electrode 43 is set at the intersection of the first common electrode 41 and the third common electrode 43 and can pass through the covering layer 54 along the first direction Y and be connected to the third sub-light-emitting device 23, and the third common electrode 43 can be set at the intersection of the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43, that is, the third common electrode 43 is set at the intersection of the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43 and can pass through the covering layer 54 along the first direction Y and be connected to the third sub-light-emitting device 23.
[0091] In other embodiments of the present invention, the first common electrode 41 can be set at the position where the first common electrode 41 intersects the second common electrode 42 and the third common electrode 43, and the second common electrode 42 can be set at the position where the second common electrode 42 intersects the third common electrode 43, so as to further reduce the resistance of the first common electrode 41 and the second common electrode 42.
[0092] like Figure 4 、 Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, when the common electrode 40 and the independent electrode 30 are not provided between two adjacent light-emitting devices 20, the sizes of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23 in the light-emitting device 20 can be expanded toward the other light-emitting device 20, so that the sizes of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23 are increased, further increasing the light-emitting area of the light-emitting device 20; in addition, since the width of the third common electrode 43 is small, the size of the third sub-light-emitting device 23 adjacent to the third common electrode 43 can also be expanded toward the direction of the third common electrode 43, for example Figure 4 In the example, the two first sub-light emitting devices 21 are located in the middle, and no common electrode 40 is provided between the two first sub-light emitting devices 21. Then, the sizes of the two first sub-light emitting devices 21 can be expanded in a direction close to each other, so that the sizes of the two first sub-light emitting devices 21 are increased; the two second sub-light emitting devices 22 are located in the middle, and no common electrode 40 is provided between the two second sub-light emitting devices 22. Then, the sizes of the two second sub-light emitting devices 22 can be expanded in a direction close to each other, so that the sizes of the two second sub-light emitting devices 22 are increased; similarly, for example Figure 4 The two third sub-light emitting devices 23 on the right are provided with a third common electrode 43 between them. Since the width of the third common electrode 43 is small, the two third sub-light emitting devices 23 can be extended in a direction close to each other, so that the sizes of the two third sub-light emitting devices 23 are increased. Figure 6 In the embodiment, the sizes of the two first sub-light emitting devices 21 can be expanded in a direction close to each other, the sizes of the two second sub-light emitting devices 22 can be expanded in a direction close to each other, and the sizes of the two third sub-light emitting devices 23 can be expanded in a direction close to each other, so that the sizes of the first sub-light emitting device 21, the second sub-light emitting device 22 and the third sub-light emitting device 23 are increased; for example Figure 7In the embodiment, the size of the two third sub-light-emitting devices 23 can be expanded toward the direction of the other light-emitting device 20, so that the size of the third sub-light-emitting device 23 is increased to increase the light-emitting area of the light-emitting device 20. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, by designing the structure and position of the common electrode 40, the light-emitting area and aperture ratio of the light-emitting device 20 can be effectively increased.
[0093] It is understandable that when the common electrode 40 and the independent electrode 30 are not provided on the side of the light emitting device 20, or when the third common electrode 43 is provided, the size of the light emitting device 20 can be increased according to actual needs. Figure 5 As shown, the sizes of the first sub-light emitting device 21, the second sub-light emitting device 22 and the third sub-light emitting device 23 decrease in the direction from the substrate 10 to the light emitting functional layer; however, since the embodiment of the present invention does not require the formation of steps and avoidance gaps on the side surfaces of the light emitting devices 20, the light emitting area of the light emitting device 20 in the embodiment of the present invention is relatively Figure 1 The light emitting area of the LED in the display module shown can be effectively increased.
[0094] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the first sub-light-emitting device 21 on the substrate 10, or the orthographic projection of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 on the substrate 10 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first sub-light-emitting device 21 on the substrate 10; the orthographic projection of the third sub-light-emitting device 23 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 on the substrate 10, or the orthographic projection of the third sub-light-emitting device 23 on the substrate 10 coincides with the orthographic projection of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 on the substrate 10.
[0095] In one embodiment, the light-emitting functional layer also includes a first connecting member 211 connected between adjacent first sub-light-emitting devices 21, a second connecting member 221 connected between adjacent second sub-light-emitting devices 22, and a third connecting member 231 connected between adjacent third sub-light-emitting devices 23; and the first common electrode 41 is connected to the first connecting member 211, the second common electrode 42 is connected to the second connecting member 221, and the third common electrode 43 is connected to the third connecting member 231.
[0096] Among them, since the thickness of the first common electrode 41 is relatively large, it will separate the second connecting member 221 and the third connecting member 231, and the second common electrode 42 will also separate the third connecting member 231. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 211 is connected between any two adjacent first sub-light-emitting devices 21, the second connecting member 221 is connected between some of the second sub-light-emitting devices 22, and the third connecting member 231 is connected between some of the third sub-light-emitting devices 23.
[0097] Specifically, the light-emitting functional layer includes a plurality of first blocks 410 and a plurality of second blocks 420, and the first block 410 includes a plurality of second sub-light-emitting devices 22 and a second connector 221 connected between the second sub-light-emitting devices 22, and the second block 420 includes a plurality of third sub-light-emitting devices 23 and a third connector 231 connected between the third sub-light-emitting devices 23; wherein the first common electrode 41 is located between adjacent first blocks 410 and between adjacent second blocks 420, and the second common electrode 42 is located between adjacent second blocks 420. Figure 2 As shown, the first block 410 is the area surrounded by the first common electrode 41, for example, it can include four repeating units shown at b, and the second block 420 is the area surrounded by the first common electrode 41 and the second common electrode 42, for example, it can include two repeating units shown at b.
[0098] In one embodiment, the first sub-light emitting device 21, the second sub-light emitting device 22, and the third sub-light emitting device 23 can all be inorganic light emitting diode devices, and the light color of the first sub-light emitting device 21 can be red, the light color of the second sub-light emitting device 22 can be green, and the light color of the third sub-light emitting device 23 can be blue, so as to achieve full-color display of the display module. In particular, since blue light is high-energy light, when blue light is irradiated on the first sub-light emitting device 21, it will cause the first sub-light emitting device 21 to be excited to emit light when it is not necessary to emit light. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first sub-light emitting device 21 is arranged at the bottom layer, and the third sub-light emitting device 23 is arranged at the top layer, so as to reduce the probability of blue light irradiating the first sub-light emitting device 21 and increase the distance between the first sub-light emitting device 21 and the third sub-light emitting device 23, which can effectively improve the light emission effect and display effect of the display module.
[0099] It can be understood that since the luminous efficiency of red light in inorganic light-emitting diodes is low, the first sub-light-emitting device 21 located at the bottom layer is set to emit red light. Since the area of the first sub-light-emitting device 21 is the largest, the luminous efficiency of the first sub-light-emitting device 21 emitting red light can be compensated; in addition, when the common electrode 40 and the independent electrode 30 are not set on the sides of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23, the size of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the size of the third sub-light-emitting device 23 can also be expanded toward the side without the common electrode 40 and the independent electrode 30, and then the luminous area of the second sub-light-emitting device 22 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23 can be increased according to actual needs.
[0100] In one embodiment, the first sub-light-emitting device 21 may include a P-type GaP layer / P-type AlGaInP light-emitting layer / AlGaInP layer / N-type AlGaInP layer / N-type GaAs layer, and the P-type may be Mg-doped and the N-type may be Si-doped, wherein the first connecting member 211 may be formed by a P-type GaP layer or an N-type GaAs layer extending from the first sub-light-emitting device 21.
[0101] The second sub-light-emitting device 22 may include a P-type GaN layer / InGaN light-emitting layer / N-type GaN layer, the P-type may be Mg-doped, and the N-type may be Si-doped, wherein the second connecting member 221 may be formed by a P-type GaN layer or an N-type GaN layer extending from the second sub-light-emitting device 22.
[0102] The third sub-light-emitting device 23 may include a P-type GaN layer / InGaN light-emitting layer / N-type GaN layer, the P-type is usually doped with Mg, and the N-type is usually doped with Si, wherein the third connecting member 231 may be formed by a P-type GaN layer or an N-type GaN layer extending from the third sub-light-emitting device 23.
[0103] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second bonding layer 52 includes a first Bragg reflector layer to transmit red light and reflect blue light. The first Bragg reflector layer can be a stack of alternating silicon oxide and titanium oxide layers, with the outermost layer of the first Bragg reflector layer being entirely silicon oxide. This allows the second bonding layer 52 and the first Bragg reflector layer to share a common structure. In other words, by forming the first Bragg reflector layer above the first sub-light-emitting device 21, this embodiment of the present invention can reflect blue light to prevent it from reaching the first sub-light-emitting device 21, further improving the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting device 20 and the display quality of the display panel.
[0104] In one embodiment, the third bonding layer 53 includes a second Bragg reflector layer that transmits red and green light and reflects blue light. The second Bragg reflector layer can be a stack of alternating silicon oxide and titanium oxide layers, and the outermost layer of the first Bragg reflector layer can be entirely silicon oxide. This allows the third bonding layer 53 and the first Bragg reflector layer to share a common structure. Specifically, by forming the second Bragg reflector layer above the second sub-light-emitting device 22, this embodiment of the present invention can reflect blue light to prevent it from reaching the first and second sub-light-emitting devices 21 and 22, further improving the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting device 20 and the display quality of the display panel.

[0106] It can be understood that the first bottom electrode 55 can be continuously arranged under all the first sub-light-emitting devices 21; the second bottom electrode 56 will be separated by the first common electrode 41, so the first bottom electrode 55 can be continuously distributed in the first block 410; the third bottom electrode 57 will be separated by the first common electrode 41 and the second common electrode 42, so the third bottom electrode 57 can be continuously distributed in the second block 420.
[0107] The first common electrode 41 is connected to the first bottom electrode 55, the second common electrode 42 is connected to the second bottom electrode 56, and the third common electrode 43 is connected to the third bottom electrode 57. Figures 4 to 7 The common electrode 40 and the connecting parts (such as the first connecting part 211, the second connecting part 221 and the third connecting part 231) are used in this embodiment. This embodiment can further reduce the connection resistance between the common electrode 40 and the light-emitting device 20, improve the signal transmission effect, and improve the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting device 20 and the display effect of the display module.

[0109] In another embodiment of the present invention, when the first bonding layer 51 is reused as the first bottom electrode 55, and the second bottom electrode 56 is set between the second bonding layer 52 and the second sub-light-emitting device 22, and the third bottom electrode 57 is set between the third bonding layer 53 and the third sub-light-emitting device 23, the first sub-light-emitting device 21 is connected to the common signal line through the first bottom electrode 55 and the first common electrode 41 in sequence, the second sub-light-emitting device 22 is connected to the common signal line through the second bottom electrode 56 and the second common electrode 42 in sequence, and the third sub-light-emitting device 23 is connected to the common signal line through the third bottom electrode 57 and the third common electrode 43 in sequence to realize signal transmission; in addition, the first bottom electrode 55 can also be connected to the common signal line, so that the first sub-light-emitting device 21 can be connected to the common signal line through the first bottom electrode 55.
[0110] In one embodiment, the second bottom electrode 56 and the third bottom electrode 57 may include a transparent conductive material, such as an ITO material.
