Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of Micro-LED display technology, and specifically to vertically stacked full-color Micro-LED chips and display modules. Background Art

[0002] Micro-LED display is a highly competitive next-generation display technology. Full-color display is an essential feature of display products. Liquid crystal displays use color filters corresponding to each pixel to convert the white light emitted by the backlight into monochromatic light of the three primary colors of red, green, and blue (RGB), achieving full-color display; each pixel of OLED displays uses RGB three primary colors of luminescent materials, thereby achieving self-luminous full-color display. At present, the technical routes of Micro-LED full-color display are divided into three categories: (1) Three-primary color Micro-LED chip array, using RGB three primary colors Micro-LED chips to be arranged into a pixel array at intervals to achieve full-color display. The characteristic of this solution is that all Micro-LED chips are used as light-emitting units, and no other light-emitting materials are required. This solution is mainly for large-size, medium-resolution display applications such as televisions; (2) Blue light Micro-LED chip array combined with red and green light fluorescence conversion. Blue light Micro-LED chips are arranged into an array, and then according to the red, green, and blue pixel points, red and green light fluorescent materials are coated on the surface of the Micro-LED chips corresponding to the red and green light pixels respectively. The fluorescent material absorbs the blue light emitted by the chip below it and converts it into red and green light in the form of photoluminescence. The pixel positions not coated with fluorescent material serve as blue light pixels, thereby realizing RGB full-color display. The main technical challenge of this solution lies in how to realize a high-reliability and low-cost fluorescent conversion layer; (3) The three primary color Micro-LEDs are vertically stacked to form a single-chip full-color Micro-LED with a laminated structure. The advantage is that the area of ​​a single pixel in the Micro-LED display can be reduced to achieve high-resolution display, which is particularly suitable for near-eye display applications such as AR display.

[0003] In recent years, with the continuous development of Micro-LED technology, the path to industrialization of Micro-LED displays has gradually become clearer.
