[0058] The first color light-emitting unit 10 includes a first sub-light-emitting unit 11 and a second sub-light-emitting unit 12; the first sub-light-emitting unit 11 and the second sub-light-emitting unit 12 extend along the first direction X and are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y; along the first direction X, the first sub-light-emitting unit 11 and the second sub-light-emitting unit 12 include a left area and a right area connected to each other, each first sub-light-emitting unit 11 corresponds to a second color light-emitting unit 20, and the vertical projection of the second color light-emitting unit 20 on the first sub-light-emitting unit 11 at least covers a portion of the left area of the first sub-light-emitting unit 11, and is opposite to the left area of a portion of the second sub-light-emitting unit 12; each second sub-light-emitting unit 12 corresponds to a third color light-emitting unit 30, and the vertical projection of the third color light-emitting unit 30 on the second sub-light-emitting unit 12 at least covers a portion of the right area of the second sub-light-emitting unit 12, and is opposite to the right area of a portion of the first sub-light-emitting unit 11; the vertical projection of the third color light-emitting unit 30 on the second color light-emitting unit 20 does not overlap with the second color light-emitting unit 20.
[0059] Among them, the side walls of the first color light-emitting unit 10, the second color light-emitting unit 20 and the third color light-emitting unit 30 can be inclined side walls to improve the light-emitting efficiency. The first color light-emitting unit 10, the second color light-emitting unit 20 and the third color light-emitting unit 30 are stacked vertically in sequence, which can reduce the lateral size of the device. For example, the first color light-emitting unit 10 can be a red light LED unit, the second color light-emitting unit 20 can be a green light LED unit, and the third color light-emitting unit 30 can be a blue light LED unit. Since the light-emitting efficiency of red light is relatively low, the number of the first color light-emitting units 10 can be set to be twice the number of the second color light-emitting units 20 or twice the number of the third color light-emitting units 30, so as to improve the light-emitting efficiency of the first color light, thereby realizing full-color display.
