[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a micro display chip. Figure 1 This is a top view of the first embodiment of the micro display chip of the present application. Herein, "micro display chip" refers to a display component that mainly uses micro light emitting diodes (Micro-LED) as light-emitting pixels.

[0033] Herein, "micro" light emitting diodes and other "micro" devices refer to the size of light emitting diodes and devices. In some embodiments, the term "micro" refers to the size of the device at a scale of 1 micron to 100 microns. However, it is understood that the embodiments of the present application may not be limited thereto, and certain aspects of the embodiments may be applicable to larger or smaller sizes.

[0034] The display surface of the micro display chip 100 has a pixel array area A1 , which includes a display light emitting area A11 and an eye control device area A12 , and the eye control device area A12 includes an infrared emitting area A121 and an infrared receiving area A122 .

[0035] The micro display chip 100 includes a plurality of display micro light emitting diodes 110, at least one infrared light source device 120, and at least one infrared collection device 130. The plurality of display micro light emitting diodes 110 are arranged in the display light emitting area A11 for image display. At least one infrared light source device 120 is located in the infrared emission area A121. At least one infrared collection device 130 is located in the infrared receiving area A122. The infrared light emitted by the infrared light source device 120 is reflected by the human eye and received by the infrared collection device 130 for obtaining the human eye's line of sight.

[0036] The acquisition of human eye line of sight is, for example, based on corneal reflection, with eye features such as the eye corner point or corneal reflection point (Purkinje spot) as reference points for eye movement. Line of sight estimation is achieved by analyzing the mapping relationship between the vector formed by the eye corner or corneal reflection point and the pupil center position and the line of sight vector, thereby acquiring the human eye line of sight to facilitate the realization of eye control function.

[0037] According to the micro display chip 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the display surface of the micro display chip 100 has a pixel array area A1, which includes a display light emitting area A11 and an eye control device area A12, and the eye control device area A12 includes an infrared emission area A121 and an infrared receiving area A122. The display micro light emitting diodes 110 for image display are arranged in the display light emitting area A11. The infrared light source device 120 is located in the infrared emission area A121, and the infrared collection device 130 is located in the infrared receiving area A122. The infrared light emitted by the infrared light source device 120 is reflected by the human eye and received by the infrared collection device 130 for acquiring the line of sight of the human eye. The acquisition of the line of sight of the human eye can be used to realize the eye control function. Therefore, the infrared light source device 120 and the infrared collection device 130 for acquiring the line of sight of the human eye are integrated into the micro display chip 100. Compared with a component obtained by arranging an infrared light source component and an infrared receiving component outside a microdisplay chip, the microdisplay chip 100 having both image display function and human eye sight acquisition function occupies a smaller volume and improves the lightness of the component, thereby being more conducive to achieving the lightness and high availability of a head-mounted display device.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the pixel array area A1 can be set as needed. The array shape of the display micro-LEDs 110 can be set as needed. In some embodiments, each display micro-LED 110 is rectangular, in some embodiments, each display micro-LED 110 is hexagonal, and in other embodiments, each display micro-LED 110 can be other shapes.

In some embodiments, the micro display chip 100 includes a circuit substrate 140, and the circuit substrate 140 has a circuit structure inside. The display micro light emitting diode 110, the infrared light source device 120, and the infrared collection device 130 are formed on the side where the display surface of the circuit substrate 140 is located. In some embodiments, the display micro light emitting diode 110 is electrically connected to the circuit structure in the circuit substrate 140 through the first via H1, the infrared light source device 120 is electrically connected to the circuit structure in the circuit substrate 140 through the second via H2, and the infrared collection device 130 is electrically connected to the circuit structure in the circuit substrate 140 through the third via H3.

[0040] The circuit structure may include a light-emitting driving circuit and an infrared collection circuit, wherein the display micro-LED 110 and the infrared light source device 120 are electrically connected to the light-emitting driving circuit, and the infrared collection device 130 is electrically connected to the infrared collection circuit. In some embodiments, the light-emitting driving circuit and the infrared collection circuit are both complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits.

[0041] In this embodiment, the display micro-LED 110 is a colored light Micro-LED, for example, including a red Micro-LED, a green Micro-LED, and a blue Micro-LED. In this embodiment, the infrared collection device 130 is an infrared Micro-LED. In this embodiment, the infrared collection device 130 is a photodiode.

[0042] The infrared collection device 130 can convert the optical signal into an electrical signal. The infrared collection device 130 converts the collected infrared light stimulus into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the infrared collection circuit through the third via H3 and stored through the peripheral storage circuit for subsequent analysis.

[0043] In some embodiments, a single infrared light source device 120 is provided in each infrared emitting area A121, and a single infrared collection device 130 is provided in each infrared receiving area A122. In some embodiments, a plurality of infrared light source devices 120 are provided in each infrared emitting area A121, and a plurality of infrared collection devices 130 are provided in each infrared receiving area A122.

[0044] The number of eye control device areas A12 can be single or multiple.

[0045] like Figure 1 In some embodiments, in each eye control device area A12, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0046] In some embodiments, the number of eye control device areas A12 is more than two. Figure 1 For example, in this embodiment, the number of eye control device areas A12 is four.

[0047] In some embodiments, the eye control device area A12 is located at an edge position of the pixel array area A1, for example, at an edge position or a corner position of the pixel array area A1. In this embodiment, the eye control device area A12 is located at a corner position of the pixel array area A1. In this embodiment, the pixel array area A1 is rectangular, and the four eye control device areas A12 are correspondingly located at the four corner positions of the pixel array area A1.

[0048] Figure 3 This is a side view schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the micro display chip of the present application. In some embodiments, the micro display chip 100 further includes an optical mixing component 150. The optical mixing component 150 covers the infrared emission area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 in each eye control device area A12. The optical mixing component 150 is used to converge the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source device 120 and disperse the infrared light reflected by the human eye E1 and directed to the infrared collection device 130.

[0049] The optical mixing component 150 includes at least one micro lens, through which the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source device 120 is converged, and the shape of the optical mixing component 150 can change the emission direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source device 120 after passing through the optical mixing component 150, thereby increasing the proportion of infrared light entering the human eye E1. In addition, when the infrared light enters the human eye E1 and is reflected, the reflected infrared light can also be dispersed by the optical mixing component 150 and enter the infrared collection device 130.

[0050] In some embodiments, the micro display chip 100 further includes an infrared filter, which at least covers the infrared receiving area A122. The infrared filter can filter out external ambient light and resist interference of external ambient light on the infrared collection device 130.

[0051] In some embodiments, the total area of ​​the infrared emitting areas A121 is equal to the total area of ​​the infrared receiving areas A122.

[0052] Since light is attenuated during transmission, in some embodiments, the total area of ​​the infrared emitting area A121 is larger than the total area of ​​the infrared receiving area A122, thereby increasing the intensity of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source device 120 and further increasing the sensitivity of the entire module.

[0053] In the first embodiment described above, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are arranged adjacent to each other in each eye control device area A12. The four eye control device areas A12 are located at the four corners of the pixel array area A1, and the four eye control device areas A12 are spaced apart from each other. In some other embodiments, the arrangement of the eye control device areas A12 may be in other forms.

[0054] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a top view of the second embodiment of the micro display chip of the present application. In the second embodiment, the number of eye control device areas A12 is two or more, for example, four. In the second embodiment, more than two eye control device areas A12 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence. For example, four eye control device areas A12 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence and are located at one of the corner positions of the pixel array area A1. In each eye control device area A12, an infrared emitting area A121 is adjacent to an infrared receiving area A122.

[0055] Figure 5 It is a top view schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the micro display chip of the present application. In the third embodiment, the number of eye control device areas A12 is more than two, for example, four. In the third embodiment, a part of the eye control device areas A12 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence, and a part of the eye control device areas A12 are spaced apart. For example, the four eye control device areas A12 are divided into two groups, each group including two eye control devices arranged adjacent to each other. The two groups of eye control devices are arranged at opposite ends of one of the edges of the pixel array area A1. In each eye control device area A12, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0056] In some embodiments, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 may not be arranged adjacent to each other. Figure 6 It is a top view schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the micro display chip of the present application. In the fourth embodiment, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are separated by the display light-emitting area A11. In this embodiment, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are respectively located at the edge positions of the pixel array area A1, for example, at the edge position or the corner position of the pixel array area A1. In this embodiment, the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are respectively located at the corner positions of the pixel array area A1. In this embodiment, the pixel array area A1 is rectangular, and the infrared emitting area A121 and the infrared receiving area A122 are respectively located at different corner positions of the pixel array area A1.

When the microdisplay chip 100 is used in a head-mounted display device, the head-mounted display device may further include an optical engine 200. The infrared light emitted from the infrared light source device 120 enters the human eye E1 through the optical engine 200, and then enters the infrared collection device 130 through the optical engine 200 after being reflected by the human eye E1.

[0058] Figure 8 , Fig. 9 They are respectively a top view and a cross-sectional view of the fifth embodiment of the microdisplay chip of the present application. The display surface of the microdisplay chip 100 has a pixel array area A1, which includes a display light-emitting area A11 and an eye control device area A12, and the eye control device area A12 includes an infrared emission area A121 and an infrared receiving area A122.

[0059] The micro-display chip 100 includes a plurality of display micro-LEDs 110, at least one infrared light source device 120, and at least one infrared collection device 130.

In this embodiment, the micro-display chip 100 also includes a plurality of photosensitive devices 170. The plurality of photosensitive devices 170 are arranged in the photosensitive area A13. The plurality of photosensitive devices 170 can obtain the iris image of the human eye for iris recognition.

[0060] The photosensitive device 170 is, for example, a photosensitive element that is sensitive to infrared light. The cornea, iris, and pupil in the human eye absorb and reflect infrared light differently. Each person's iris contains unique texture information that remains unchanged throughout life, making the iris a highly reliable biometric feature. A human iris image can be obtained through multiple photosensitive devices 170, and the iris image can be used as a data basis for biometric identification.

[0061] According to the micro display chip 100 of the above embodiment, the photosensitive device 170 for acquiring the human eye iris image for iris recognition is arranged in the photosensitive area A13. The micro display chip 100 integrates the photosensitive device 170 for iris recognition into the micro display chip 100 for display, thereby further improving the integration of the micro display chip 100, realizing more functions while occupying a smaller volume, improving the portability of the components, and thus being more conducive to realizing the portability of the head mounted display device.

[0062] In some embodiments, the number of photosensitive devices 170 is greater than 200 to ensure the accuracy of iris recognition.

[0063] In some embodiments, the photosensitive area A13 is disposed around the display light emitting area A11.

[0064] In some embodiments, the photosensitive area A13 is located at an edge of the pixel array area A1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the display light emitting area A11 is located at the center of the pixel array area A1, and the photosensitive area A13 completely surrounds the display light emitting area A11.

[0066] like Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the micro display chip 100 further includes a circuit substrate 140. The circuit substrate 140 has a circuit structure inside, and the circuit structure also includes a photosensitive driving circuit. The photosensitive device 170 is electrically connected to the photosensitive driving circuit through the fourth via H4.

For example, Figure 8 In the fifth embodiment, all the infrared collection devices 130 may be multiplexed by the photosensitive devices 170 , that is, at least a part of the photosensitive devices 170 also serve as the infrared collection devices 130 , thereby further improving the utilization rate of the devices on the micro display chip 100 .

[0068] The embodiment of the present application also provides a head-mounted display device, which includes any of the aforementioned embodiments of the microdisplay chip 100. The head-mounted display device can be an augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display device, a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display device, or a mixed reality (MR) head-mounted display device.

[0069] The display surface of the micro display chip 100 has a pixel array area A1 , which includes a display light emitting area A11 and an eye control device area A12 , and the eye control device area A12 includes an infrared emitting area A121 and an infrared receiving area A122 .

[0086] According to the method for manufacturing the microdisplay chip 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the obtained microdisplay chip 100 has a pixel array area A1, which includes a display light-emitting area A11 and an eye control device area A12, and the eye control device area A12 includes an infrared emission area A121 and an infrared receiving area A122. The display micro-light-emitting diode 110 for image display is arranged in the display light-emitting area A11. The infrared light source device 120 is located in the infrared emission area A121, and the infrared collection device 130 is located in the infrared receiving area A122.
