Alternatively, the formation of the first micro-LED on the infrared emitting area A121 of the circuit substrate 140 can be performed synchronously with step S120.
[0082] Optionally, after step S130, step S140 is further included. In step S140, a conductive member is grown at the infrared light source device 120, so that the chip height of the infrared light source device 120 after the growth of the conductive member is the same as the chip height of the display micro-LED 110; and the two sides of the infrared light source device 120 are passivated by an insulating material. The conductive member can be a conductive metal, such as one or more of Al, Au, Pt, and Pt.
[0083] In step S150, the infrared collection device 130 is formed on the infrared receiving area A122 of the circuit substrate 140.
[0084] In some embodiments, the infrared collection device 130 is formed on the infrared receiving area A122 of the circuit substrate 140 by a monolithic bonding process.
[0085] Thereafter, the method for manufacturing the micro-display wafer 100 can further include other steps known in the art, such as a step of forming a common electrode, and other module process steps.
[0086] According to the manufacturing method of the micro display wafer 100, the micro display wafer 100 obtained has a pixel array area A1, the pixel array area A1 includes a display light emitting area A11 and an eye control device area A12, the eye control device area A12 includes an infrared emitting 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 emitting 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 E1 and then received by the infrared collection device 130, so as to obtain the line of sight of the human eye E1, and the line of sight of the human eye E1 can be used to realize the eye control function. Therefore, the infrared light source device 120 and the infrared collection device 130 for obtaining the line of sight of the human eye E1 are integrated in the micro display wafer 100. The micro display wafer 100 with the functions of image display and line of sight acquisition of the human eye E1 has smaller volume than the assembly obtained by arranging the infrared light source device and the infrared receiving device outside the micro display wafer, and improves the portability of the components, so as to facilitate the portability of the head-mounted display device.
