[0002] At present, the vast majority of full-color Micro-LED-based display products on the market use color conversion technology. In this regard, semiconductor quantum dots (Quantum Dots, QD) stand out with their excellent optical and physical properties, including quantum yields of more than 90%, adjustable emission wavelengths, large relative surface areas, narrow emission spectra, high light stability and good solution processability, making them the mainstream materials for color conversion. These characteristics not only provide a reliable path to achieve high-efficiency, high-performance color conversion layers, but also pave the way for the development of quantum dot printing technology.
[0003] However, the color conversion scheme using blue light Micro-LED to activate quantum dots has raised concerns about blue light leakage, optical crosstalk and reduced brightness. The color conversion scheme in full-color Micro-LED display technology usually requires the use of filters to eliminate the inevitable blue light leakage during the color conversion process. This method leads to a certain loss of light energy and increases the complexity and cost of the production process.

It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a Micro-LED light source structure according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, including:
[0051] Substrate layer 11;
[0052] A buffer layer 21, located on one side surface of the substrate layer 11;
[0053] A first n-type GaN layer 31 is located on a surface of the buffer layer 21 that is away from the substrate layer 11;
[0054] A plurality of hollow cylindrical structures are located on a surface of the first n-type GaN layer 31 facing away from the buffer layer 21, wherein the hollow cylindrical structure includes a table structure, a passivation layer 71 partially wrapping the table structure, a reflective electrode layer 91 partially wrapping the passivation layer 71, and a gap 81 formed by the passivation layer not wrapped by the reflective electrode layer 91 and the first n-type GaN layer 31; the gap 81 is used to fill the quantum dot solution.
[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, a reflective electrode layer 91 is covered on the surface of the mesa structure, and combined with the thickness adjustment of the passivation layer 71, the emission angle can be controlled; by filling the gaps 81 formed in the mesa structure with a quantum dot solution, the color conversion effect can be enhanced; this method does not require the quantum dot layer to be transferred to the Micro-LED surface, and effectively reduces blue light leakage, while achieving an efficient, high-brightness full-color display effect.
[0056] The following will be combined Figure 1-Figure 6The structure of the present application will be described in detail.
[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the table structure includes:
[0058] A second n-type GaN layer 32 is located on a surface of the first n-type GaN layer 31 that is away from the buffer layer 21 ;
[0059] A third n-type GaN layer 33 is located on a surface of the second n-type GaN layer 32 that is away from the first n-type GaN layer 31;
[0060] A second multi-quantum well structure layer 42 is located on a surface of the third n-type GaN layer 33 that is away from the second n-type GaN layer 32 ;
[0061] A second p-type GaN layer 52 is located on a surface of the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42 that is away from the third n-type GaN layer 33;
[0062] The current diffusion layer 61 is located on a surface of the second p-type GaN layer 52 that is away from the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42 .
[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the widths of the first n-type GaN layer 31, the second n-type GaN layer 32 and the third n-type GaN layer 33 decrease successively to form a step-like structure; the widths of the third n-type GaN layer 33, the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42, the second p-type GaN layer 52 and the current diffusion layer 61 are consistent.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the quantum dot solution includes CdSe cadmium selenide / ZnS zinc sulfide red quantum dots and green quantum dots.
[0065] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, scattering particles filling the gaps are also included. The role of scattering particles in LEDs is mainly to enhance the scattering and absorption of light. When blue light is irradiated onto the scattering particles, the particles will scatter the light in all directions, thereby increasing the chance of light contacting the quantum dots. In addition, scattering particles can also improve the absorption efficiency of quantum dots for blue light, so that more blue light can be absorbed by quantum dots and converted into red (green) light. Combining scattering particles with quantum dots can further optimize the light-color conversion efficiency of LEDs. The addition of scattering particles not only enhances the scattering and absorption of light, but also makes the distribution of quantum dots in the LED more uniform. This helps to improve the uniformity and color purity of the light emission of the LED. At the same time, scattering particles can also reduce the direct leakage of blue light in the LED, thereby improving the color conversion efficiency.

In some embodiments of the present application, forming a plurality of hollow cylindrical structures on a surface of the first n-type GaN layer facing away from the buffer layer comprises:
[0072] Forming a first multi-quantum well structure layer by alternately growing InGaN or AlGaN quantum well layers and GaN quantum barrier layers of different compositions and thicknesses on a surface of the first n-type GaN layer away from the buffer layer;
[0073] Growing a first p-type GaN layer on a surface of the first multi-quantum well structure layer facing away from the first n-type GaN layer;
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the following may be formed: Figure 2 The hierarchical structure shown includes a substrate layer 11; a buffer layer 21, located on one side surface of the substrate layer 11; a first n-type GaN layer 31, located on the side surface of the buffer layer 21 away from the substrate layer 11; a first multi-quantum well structure layer 41, located on the side surface of the first n-type GaN layer 31 away from the buffer layer 21; and a first p-type GaN layer 51, located on the side surface of the first multi-quantum well structure layer 41 away from the first n-type GaN layer 31.
[0075] Laser lithography is performed from the first p-type GaN layer to the first n-type GaN layer using a maskless aligner, and two steps are etched using inductively coupled plasma to form a second n-type GaN layer, a third n-type GaN layer, and a second multi-quantum well structure layer and a second p-type GaN layer having the same width as the third n-type GaN layer; in some embodiments of the present application, the following can be formed: Figure 3The etched structure shown includes a substrate layer 11; a buffer layer 21, located on one side surface of the substrate layer 11; a first n-type GaN layer 31, located on the side surface of the buffer layer 21 away from the substrate layer 11; a second n-type GaN layer 32, located on the side surface of the first n-type GaN layer 31 away from the buffer layer 21; a third n-type GaN layer 33, located on the side surface of the second n-type GaN layer 32 away from the first n-type GaN layer 31; a second multi-quantum well structure layer 42, located on the side surface of the third n-type GaN layer 33 away from the second n-type GaN layer 32; and a second p-type GaN layer 52, located on the side surface of the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42 away from the third n-type GaN layer 33.
[0076] Growing a current diffusion layer on a surface of the second p-type GaN layer on a side away from the second multi-quantum well structure layer;
[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the following may be formed: Figure 4 The diffusion structure shown includes a substrate layer 11; a buffer layer 21, located on one side surface of the substrate layer 11; a first n-type GaN layer 31, located on the side surface of the buffer layer 21 away from the substrate layer 11; a second n-type GaN layer 32, located on the side surface of the first n-type GaN layer 31 away from the buffer layer 21; a third n-type GaN layer 33, located on the side surface of the second n-type GaN layer 32 away from the first n-type GaN layer 31; a second multi-quantum well structure layer 42, located on the side surface of the third n-type GaN layer 33 away from the second n-type GaN layer 32; a second p-type GaN layer 52, located on the side surface of the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42 away from the third n-type GaN layer 33; and a current diffusion layer 61, located on the side surface of the second p-type GaN layer 52 away from the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42.
[0078] A passivation layer is grown from the current diffusion layer to the surface of the first n-type GaN layer, and a gap is formed between the passivation layer and a surface of one side of the first n-type GaN layer.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the following may be formed: Figure 5The passivation structure shown includes a substrate layer 11; a buffer layer 21, located on one side surface of the substrate layer 11; a first n-type GaN layer 31, located on one side surface of the buffer layer 21 away from the substrate layer 11; a second n-type GaN layer 32, located on one side surface of the first n-type GaN layer 31 away from the buffer layer 21; a third n-type GaN layer 33, located on one side surface of the second n-type GaN layer 32 away from the first n-type GaN layer 31; a second multi-quantum well structure layer 42, located on one side surface of the third n-type GaN layer 33 away from the second n-type GaN layer 32; a second p-type GaN layer 52, located on one side surface of the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42 away from the third n-type GaN layer 33; a current diffusion layer 61, located on one side surface of the second p-type GaN layer 52 away from the second multi-quantum well structure layer 42; and a passivation layer 71 partially wrapping the mesa structure, and a gap 81 formed by the passivation layer 71 and the first n-type GaN layer 31.
[0080] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any specific limitation on the depth and diameter of the void 81, ie, the hollow cylinder. In some embodiments of the present application, Ni / Au (5 / 5 nm) is deposited by electron beam evaporation and then photolithography is performed to form a current diffusion layer.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, rapid thermal treatment is performed at 570°C to form a p-type ohmic contact; a p-type ohmic contact refers to a contact with good electronic conductivity formed between a p-type semiconductor and a metal. In this contact, the contact resistance is very small and almost negligible, so the current can smoothly pass through the contact interface; the contact resistance can be reduced by the p-type ohmic contact.
[0082] The growth methods of the passivation layer include:
[0083] A passivation layer is deposited on the surface of the mesa structure by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition; the deposition temperature is 290-310°C, the gas flow rate is SiH4:N2O=1:3, the deposition rate is 90-110nm / min, and the deposition thickness is 1.0-2.0μm, for example, it can be 1.5μm.
[0084] The quantum dot solution filling the gaps comprises:
[0085] The CdSe cadmium selenide / ZnS zinc sulfide red quantum dots and green quantum dots are printed into the gap region by using an electric inkjet printing method.
[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, Ti / Al / Ti / Au (20 / 150 / 50 / 100nm) is deposited as a reflective electrode layer by electron beam evaporation. Since the reflective metal layer is covered on the outside of the mesa structure and the thickness of the passivation layer is adjusted, the emission angle can be controlled. This method can transform the traditional vertical surface emission into horizontal emission, significantly reduce blue light leakage, and optimize the interaction between light and quantum dots.
[0087] The Micro-LED light source structure provided in this embodiment, first, the hollow cylindrical structure realizes precise control of the Micro-LED emission angle through a two-step step etching process, the application of a thick passivation layer, and the layout of a peripheral reflective electrode. This design converts the traditional vertical surface emission into a horizontal emission, significantly reduces blue light leakage, and optimizes the interaction between light and quantum dots. By filling the hollow part of the LED with a quantum dot solution and combining it with the addition of scattering particles, the absorption and color conversion efficiency of blue light are enhanced. Experiments show that the present invention has obvious advantages in reducing blue light leakage, improving conversion efficiency, and achieving high-brightness output. In addition, by directly depositing quantum dots in the hollow area through inkjet printing technology, the manufacturing process is simplified, the deposition accuracy and uniformity of quantum dots are improved, and high-performance full-color display is achieved.
[0088] pass Figure 8 It can be seen that the blue light leakage of the Micro-LED power supply in this embodiment has an excellent blue light leakage suppression effect compared with the traditional color conversion solution. The blue light leakage ratios of green light (corresponding to HC-100-G) and red light (corresponding to HC-100-R) in this application are only 5.3% and 2.1% respectively when the diameter of the hollow cylinder is 100μm (the corresponding quantum dot film thickness is 2.5μm), which is lower than the blue light leakage ratios of green light (corresponding to BM-12μm-G) and red light (corresponding to BM-11μm-R) in the traditional planar quantum dot film solution when the quantum dot film thickness is 12μm, and the latter are 22.6% and 8.9% respectively. The brightness performance of the hollow cylindrical Micro-LED at different current densities is demonstrated.
[0089] Fig. 9 By showing the relationship between brightness and current density, the present invention reveals that after integrating quantum dots with hollow cylinder diameters of 50 and 100 μm, the brightness performance of green light (corresponding to HC-50-GQD and HC-100-GQD) and red light (corresponding to HC-50-RQD and HC-100-RQD) arrays has been significantly improved. In particular, in the HC-100 array, taking a 10×10 quantum dot array as an example, the introduction of quantum dots not only achieves a significant increase in green light brightness, reaching 37A / cm 2The high brightness level of over 10Knits under current density, and the red light brightness also reached 9600nits, which significantly surpassed the record of red and green light brightness of traditional quantum dot color conversion technology. Similarly, the HC-50 array also showed excellent performance, that is, the brightness exceeded 8000nits under the same current density.
[0090] The luminous intensity distribution of the traditional square Micro-LED (Rec-100) follows the typical Lambertian emission model, which means that its luminous intensity is mainly concentrated in the center and gradually weakens toward the edge. The overall luminous angle is about 120°. In comparison, the Micro-LED light source of the present invention exhibits a wider light divergence angle due to its unique hollow cylindrical structure design. This ultra-large divergence angle mainly comes from the design of the structure. First, the reflective electrodes on the upper surface and the periphery effectively reflect the outwardly emitted light into the hollow center. After the light passes through the hollow structure, it will also experience multiple internal scattering or reflections, and finally escape from the hollow and be recorded by the detector. This multiple internal scattering or reflection of light means that part of the light energy is consumed in the form of heat energy in the hollow, but it is worth noting that this is the case without quantum dots. However, when quantum dots containing scattering particles are introduced, the situation will be different. The participation of quantum dots will further enhance the scattering effect of light, and can also realize the conversion of light of specific wavelengths, making it possible to achieve high-efficiency and high-uniformity full-color display.
[0091] like Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the luminous angle distribution diagrams of HC-50 and HC-100 devices reveal the highly concentrated characteristics of light. Among them, HC-50 is mainly concentrated in the range of -75° to -55° and +55° to +75°, while the luminous intensity distribution of HC-100 is more concentrated, with the distribution area mainly located between -75° and -65° and +65° and +75°. This highly concentrated luminous characteristic in the lateral direction is particularly beneficial to the color conversion of quantum dots, because the lateral concentrated divergence angle effectively limits the light in the hollow area and effectively prolongs the path length of the light interacting with the quantum dot material in the hollow area, thereby enhancing the effect of color conversion. In particular, the structural design of HC-Micro-LEDs forces the light to escape the hollow structure after multiple internal scattering or reflection, which not only increases the probability of light interacting with quantum dots, but also helps to achieve more uniform light output. In contrast, the Lambertian model luminous distribution of traditional planar Micro-LEDs is mainly emitted from the top surface, which leads to blue light leakage and light crosstalk problems.
