However, there is an alignment deviation of the independent light sources, which may cause problems such as color misalignment, blur or artifacts in the image. Summary of the invention

The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings. The device may be otherwise oriented, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations, and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may likewise be interpreted accordingly.
[0082] The term "layer" used in the present invention refers to a material portion including an area with a certain thickness. The layer can extend over the entire lower or upper structure, or can have a degree less than the scope of the lower or upper structure. In addition, the layer can be a region of a homogeneous or inhomogeneous continuous structure, and its thickness is less than the thickness of the continuous structure.

For example, the semiconductor layer can include one or more doped or undoped semiconductor layers, and can have the same or different materials.
[0083] In some embodiments, the term drive substrate 10 used in this application refers to a material on which subsequent material layers are added. The drive substrate 10 itself can be patterned. The material added to the top of the drive substrate 10 can be patterned or can remain unpatterned. The drive substrate 10 can be, for example, but not limited to, a display substrate including a silicon-based CMOS drive board or a thin film field effect transistor drive board, such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) backplane or a TFT glass substrate.
[0084] See also Figure 1 and Fig.10 , provides a micro light emitting diode display chip, comprising: a driving substrate 10, a plurality of display screens 20 and a wavelength conversion layer 30; the driving substrate 10 comprises a plurality of contacts 102; the plurality of display screens 20 are arranged on the driving substrate 10 at intervals, and the plurality of display screens 20 are located in the same plane; the display screen 20 comprises a plurality of LED units 201 arranged in an array, the LED units 201 are used to emit light of a first color, and the LED units 201 are driven individually through corresponding contacts 102; the wavelength conversion layer 30, the wavelength conversion layer 30 is arranged on a side of the display screen 20 away from the driving substrate 10; the wavelength conversion layer 30 comprises a first wavelength conversion unit 301 and a second wavelength conversion unit 302; the first wavelength conversion unit 301 is arranged correspondingly with all the LED units 201 in one display screen 20 to form a first display module 100, and the first wavelength conversion unit 301 can convert the first color light into the second color light; the second wavelength conversion unit 302 is arranged correspondingly with all the LED units 201 in another display screen 20 to form a second display module 200, and the second wavelength conversion unit 302 can convert the first color light into the third color light.
[0085] It can be understood that in the display chip provided by this embodiment, since multiple display screens 20 are located in the same plane on the driving substrate 10, the entire display system is more compact and simplified. When multiple display screens 20 are located in the same plane, the connection and wiring between components can be reduced, the possibility of errors and bad conditions in the bonding process is reduced, and the bonding yield is improved. At the same time, the array arrangement of the display screens 20 also makes the bonding process more regular and consistent, and improves the bonding yield; the entire screen uses the same basic primary color, and then the quantum dot process can complete the full-color display of the entire chip. Since the entire surface is the same basic primary color, the bonding yield of the LED unit 201 is greatly improved. Each LED unit 201 is driven separately through the corresponding contact 102. This independent drive design can reduce mutual interference and influence, and improve the accuracy and stability of bonding.
[0086] In some embodiments, see further Figure 1 and Fig.10 The wavelength conversion layer 30 also includes a third wavelength conversion unit 303. The third wavelength conversion unit 303 is arranged corresponding to all the LED units 201 in another display screen 20 to form a third display module 300. The third wavelength conversion unit 300 can convert the first color light into the fourth color light. The wavelength conversion layer 30 is located on the side of the display screen 20 away from the driving substrate 10.

[0089] It can be understood that the grid layer 202 is located on the side surface of the driving substrate 10 facing the wavelength conversion layer 30, and has a plurality of grid holes 2021 corresponding to the LED units 201, which can effectively block the light interference from other LED units 201, improve the contrast and clarity of the display screen 20, and improve the display effect. The first wavelength conversion unit 301, the second wavelength conversion unit 302 and the third wavelength conversion unit 303 are filled in the grid holes 2021, so that the distance between the wavelength conversion layer 30 and the LED unit 201 is closer, reducing the loss and scattering of light transmission, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of wavelength conversion; the electrode layer 204 is electrically connected to the top surface of the driving substrate 10 and the LED unit 201 respectively, and the passivation layer 203 electrically isolates the electrode layer 204 from the LED unit 201, which can effectively isolate the electrode layer and the LED unit to prevent electrical short circuit and interference. At the same time, the application of the passivation layer 203 can also improve the stability and reliability of the LED unit 201.

[0095] In some embodiments, the material of the etching stop layer 50 is selected from silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, etc. The main function of the etching stop layer 50 is to protect the LED unit 201 from being mistakenly etched during the etching process.

[0096] In some embodiments, see further Figure 1 The display screen 20 further includes a reflective layer 205, which covers at least the side wall of the grid hole 2021; the etching stop layer 50 is located between the reflective layer 205 and the electrode layer 204, and electrically isolates the reflective layer 205 and the electrode layer 204. The reflective layer 205 is located on the side wall of the grid hole 2021, and can effectively reflect the light emitted by the LED unit 201. Through the reflection of the reflective layer 205, the light can be guided back to the front of the display screen, thereby improving the light utilization efficiency. The reflective layer 205 can also reduce the scattering and loss of light. By reflecting the light back to the display screen 20, the energy loss can be reduced, and the energy efficiency of the display screen can be improved. In addition, the etching stop layer 50 is located between the reflective layer 205 and the electrode layer 204, and plays a role of electrical isolation, so that electrical short circuit or interference between the electrode layer 204 and the reflective layer 205 can be prevented, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the display screen.

By covering the grid layer 202 and being flush with the wavelength conversion layer 30, it is ensured that a flattened surface facing away from the driving substrate 10 is formed, and the reflective layer 205 can capture and reflect light to the maximum extent, thereby improving the light reflection efficiency. In addition, the covering of the reflective layer 205 and the setting of being flush with the wavelength conversion layer 30 will not be blocked or scattered by the grid layer 202 or the wavelength conversion layer 30, thereby maintaining the transmission efficiency and directionality of the light.
