Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic technology, and in particular to a perovskite quantum dot micro light emitting diode device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Self-luminous diodes with pixels smaller than 50 microns are called micro-light-emitting diodes (Micro-LEDs). Compared with liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), micro-LEDs have advantages such as high contrast, fast response, wide color gamut, and low power consumption. They have broad application prospects in display fields such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), wearable devices, smart phones, and high-definition televisions (HDTVs).
[0003] At present, the technology of micro-LED is not mature yet, so it is difficult to realize the large-scale commercial application of micro-LED. Among them, full-color technology is one of the technical difficulties of micro-LED.
[0004] Existing micro-LEDs are usually III-V semiconductor micro-LEDs, whose red light-emitting chips are usually made of indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), and blue and green light-emitting chips are usually made of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) semiconductors. Full color is usually achieved through mass transfer of chips. For displays with higher resolution requirements (such as 8K displays), the number of chips to be transferred is very large (tens of millions or even more than 100 million), and the difficulty of chip transfer is very large, so it is difficult to achieve large-area full-color display, and the cost is also extremely high. In addition, the current full-color technology mainly focuses on the color conversion film of the blue backlight micro-LED, and this color conversion full-color solution still faces the problems of difficulty in mass transfer of chips and cumbersome processes.
[0005] It can be seen that traditional micro-light-emitting diodes still have problems such as difficulty in transferring large quantities of chips, complicated processes, difficulty in achieving large-area full-color display, large limitations in application scenarios, and high costs.

[0053] The traditional method of preparing MicroLED (micro light-emitting diode) requires transferring a large number of three-color chips to the target display substrate through laser peeling and other methods. This process has extremely high requirements, and the speed of traditional mechanical transfer equipment can only reach dozens of chips per second. If you need to make a 4K TV, you need 26 million chips. Obviously, the traditional preparation method is difficult to meet mass production requirements.
