DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0039] The present application provides a display panel, which includes a substrate 10 and a plurality of light-emitting structures 20 arranged on the substrate 10, each of the light-emitting structures 20 including a first color light-emitting layer 11 and a second color light-emitting layer 12 stacked and emitting different colors; the light-emitting structure 20 includes a first light-emitting unit 21 and a second light-emitting unit 22; wherein the first light-emitting unit 21 also includes a color conversion layer 213 arranged on the side of the first color light-emitting layer 11 or the second color light-emitting layer 12 away from the substrate 10, and the color conversion layer 213 converts the light emitted by the first color light-emitting layer 11 or the second color light-emitting layer 12 into red light.
[0040] In this embodiment, the display panel is a Micro-LED panel or the like.
[0041] In this embodiment, the substrate 10 may be an integrated circuit wafer. The substrate 10 includes a substrate and a driving circuit on the substrate. The driving circuit includes a pixel driver array. The driving circuit is used to control the light emitting structure 20 to emit light.
[0042] In this embodiment, the display panel includes a plurality of light emitting structures 20, each of which includes a stacked first color light emitting layer 11 and a second color light emitting layer 12, and the first color light emitting layer 11 and the second color light emitting layer 12 have different light emitting colors. The first color light emitting layer 11 and the second color light emitting layer 12 can be one of a blue light emitting layer and a green light emitting layer, respectively, but are not limited thereto. The first color light emitting layer 11 can be made of InGaN or GaN quantum well material, and the second color light emitting layer 12 can be made of InGaN or GaN quantum well material.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first color light-emitting layer 11 may also include a first doping layer and a second doping layer respectively disposed on the surfaces of both sides of the InGaN and GaN quantum well materials, the first doping layer and the second doping layer are respectively one of an N-type doping layer and a P-type doping layer, the N-type doping layer includes one or more of GaN, AlGaN, AlInGaN, etc.; the P-type doping layer includes GaN materials, etc. Optionally, a periodic stress adjustment layer, a current diffusion layer, etc. are also grown between the N-type doping layer and the quantum well material. A periodic stress adjustment layer, a current diffusion layer, etc. are also grown between the P-type doping layer and the quantum well material.
[0044] In some embodiments, the second color light-emitting layer 12 may also include a first doping layer and a second doping layer respectively disposed on the surfaces of both sides of the InGaN and GaN quantum well materials, the first doping layer and the second doping layer are respectively one of an N-type doping layer and a P-type doping layer, the N-type doping layer includes one or more of GaN, AlGaN, AlInGaN, etc.; the P-type doping layer includes GaN materials, etc. Optionally, a periodic stress adjustment layer, a current diffusion layer, etc. are also grown between the N-type doping layer and the quantum well material. A periodic stress adjustment layer, a current diffusion layer, etc. are also grown between the P-type doping layer and the quantum well material.
[0045] In the Micro-LED panel, the quantum well material used in the red light-emitting layer is different from the quantum well material of the green and blue light-emitting layers. The blue and green light-emitting layers can use InGaN and GaN quantum well materials, which can ensure high luminous efficiency. The red light-emitting layer uses AlGaInP and GaInP quantum well materials, which are more affected by the size effect and result in lower luminous efficiency, thus affecting the overall brightness of the device. As the size decreases, the AlGaInP and GaInP quantum well materials of the red light-emitting layer are more affected by the size effect, which restricts the application of Micro-LED in micro display panels in fields such as AR / VR.
[0046] In view of the above problems, in the present embodiment, the light-emitting structure 20 includes a first light-emitting unit 21 and a second light-emitting unit 22, and the first light-emitting unit 21 also includes a color conversion layer 213 disposed on the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12. The first color light-emitting layer 11 or the second color light-emitting layer 12 can excite the material of the color conversion layer 213 to obtain red light. Since the luminous efficiency of the first color light-emitting layer 11 or the second color light-emitting layer 12 is relatively high, the brightness of the red light obtained in this way is higher than that obtained by directly using the red light-emitting layer. Therefore, the luminous efficiency of the red light can be improved, and the overall brightness of the display panel can be improved, which is beneficial to the application of Micro-LED in micro display panels in the fields of AR / VR.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 are stacked vertically, and only two bondings are required, which simplifies the number of bondings and subsequent processes and improves the yield.
[0048] Specifically, by making all the light-emitting structures 20 include the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12, the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 can be manufactured on the whole surface, and then the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 are patterned to obtain the corresponding first light-emitting unit 21 and the second light-emitting unit 22. Through the above arrangement, it is not necessary to remove the first color light-emitting layer 11 in the first light-emitting unit 21, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the display panel. At the same time, since the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 are laminated on the whole surface, the alignment accuracy requirement is relatively low, which reduces the process difficulty and improves the quality and yield of the display panel.
[0049] In this embodiment, the color conversion layer 213 may be a phosphor or a quantum dot material, and the quantum dot material is one of CdSe (cadmium selenide), perovskite, InP (indium phosphide), etc. Optionally, the half-peak width of the red light emitted from the color conversion layer 213 is 30 nanometers to 50 nanometers.
[0050] In this embodiment, the display panel further includes an encapsulation layer and a cover plate. The encapsulation layer covers the plurality of light-emitting structures 20 to protect the light-emitting structures 20 and prevent water vapor and the like from invading the light-emitting structures 20 and causing damage. The cover plate may be UFG (UltraFoldable Glass), ultra-thin glass (UTG), CPI (ColorlessPolyimide), PET (Polyethyleneterephthalate), etc., but is not limited thereto. The cover plate can enhance the impact resistance of the display panel and protect the display panel.
[0051] In the display panel of the present application, the first color light-emitting layer 11 is a green light-emitting layer, which can emit green light, and the second color light-emitting layer 12 is a blue light-emitting layer, which can emit blue light.
[0052] Optionally, in the first light-emitting unit 21 , one of the first color light-emitting layer 11 or the second color light-emitting layer 12 may be selected to excite the material of the color conversion layer 213 to obtain red light.
[0053] Optionally, in the first light-emitting unit 21, the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 can be selected to emit light simultaneously to excite the material of the color conversion layer 213 to obtain red light. The first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 simultaneously excite the color conversion layer 213 to emit light, which is beneficial to improve the brightness of the red light.
[0054] In the second light-emitting unit 22, the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 can emit light individually or simultaneously as needed. When the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 emit light individually, monochromatic light can be obtained; when the first color light-emitting layer 11 and the second color light-emitting layer 12 emit light simultaneously, mixed color light can be obtained.
[0055] In the display panel of the present application, the second color light emitting layer 12 is disposed on the side of the first color light emitting layer 11 away from the substrate 10. The first color light emitting layer 11 is a green light emitting layer, and the second color light emitting layer 12 is a blue light emitting layer.
[0056] In this embodiment, the second color light-emitting layer 12 is disposed on the first color light-emitting layer 11. Through the above arrangement, the second color light-emitting layer 12 can be closer to the color conversion layer 213. The energy of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of light; the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy of light. Since the wavelength of blue light is shorter than the wavelength of green light, the energy of blue light is higher than the energy of green light. The second color light-emitting layer 12 is arranged closer to the color conversion layer 213. When the blue light-emitting layer is used to excite the material of the color conversion layer 213 to emit red light, its luminance is greater than the red light emitted by the material of the color conversion layer 213 when the green light-emitting layer is used to excite the material of the color conversion layer 213, thereby further improving the brightness of the red light.
[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first color light emitting layer 11 is disposed on the side of the second color light emitting layer 12 facing away from the substrate 10. The first color light emitting layer 11 is a green light emitting layer, and the second color light emitting layer 12 is a blue light emitting layer.
[0058] In the display panel of the present application, the display panel includes a first output terminal 31, a first electrode 34, and a second electrode 35. The first output terminal 31 is arranged between the first light-emitting unit 21 and the second light-emitting unit 22; the first electrode 34 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting unit 21; the second electrode 35 is electrically connected to the second light-emitting unit 22; wherein the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 are both electrically connected to the first output terminal 31.
[0059] In this embodiment, the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit is electrically connected to the first electrode 34 ; the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit is electrically connected to the second electrode 35 ; and the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit is electrically connected to the second electrode 35 .
[0060] In this embodiment, the first electrode 34 is used to provide a driving signal for the second color light emitting layer 212 of the first light emitting unit. Optionally, the first color light emitting layer 211 of the first light emitting unit may not be connected to the first electrode 34, that is, the first color light emitting layer 11 in the first light emitting unit 21 may not work.
[0061] In this embodiment, the second electrode 35 is used to provide a driving signal for the second color light emitting layer 212 of the second light emitting unit.
[0062] In some embodiments, the second color light emitting layer 212 of the first light emitting unit, the first color light emitting layer 221 of the second light emitting unit, and the second color light emitting layer 222 of the second light emitting unit are all connected to the same first output terminal.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 can be positive electrodes at the same time or the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 can be negative electrodes at the same time. The second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit, the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit, and the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit are all connected to the first output end, that is, the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit, the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit, and the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit can use a common positive electrode and be connected to different negative electrodes respectively, so that the light-emitting colors of the first light-emitting unit 21 and the second light-emitting unit 22 can be controlled respectively.
[0064] Specifically, in some embodiments, the output end of the first electrode 34 can be disposed between the adjacent first light-emitting unit 21 and the second light-emitting unit 22, the P-type doped layer of the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit can be connected to the positive electrode, and the N-type doped layer of the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit can be connected to the negative electrode. The P-type doped layer can be located on the side of the quantum well material of the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit close to the substrate 10, and the N-type doped layer can be located on the side of the quantum well material of the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit away from the substrate 10.
[0065] The P-type doped layer of the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit can be connected to the positive electrode, and the N-type doped layer of the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit can be connected to the negative electrode. The P-type doped layer of the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit can be connected to the positive electrode, and the N-type doped layer of the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit can be connected to the negative electrode. The P-type doped layer can be located on the side of the quantum well material of the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit close to the substrate 10, and the N-type doped layer can be located on the side of the quantum well material of the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit away from the substrate 10.
[0066] The configuration of the P-type doped layer and the N-type doped layer of the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit is similar to that of the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit, and will not be repeated here.
[0067] It should be understood that the light emitting structure 20 further includes an insulating layer 17 , and the insulating layer 17 covers the surfaces of the first color light emitting layer 11 and the second color light emitting layer 12 .
[0068] In some embodiments, a step may be set at the end of the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit, and a step may be set at the end of the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit. The insulating layer 17 may expose the P-type doped layer or the N-type doped layer at the step, and the first electrode 34 may be electrically connected to the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit and the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit through the P-type doped layer or the N-type doped layer at the step.
[0069] In the display panel of the present application, the display panel includes a second output terminal 32, a third output terminal 33, a fourth output terminal, a third electrode 36, a fourth electrode 37, and a fifth electrode 38. The second output terminal 32 is arranged on the side of the first light-emitting unit 21 away from the first output terminal 31; the third output terminal 33 and the fourth output terminal are both arranged on the side of the second light-emitting unit 22 away from the first output terminal 31; the third electrode 36 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting unit 21; the fourth electrode 37 is electrically connected to the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit; the fifth electrode 38 is electrically connected to the second color light-emitting layer 222 of the second light-emitting unit; wherein the third electrode 36 is electrically connected to the second output terminal 32, the fourth electrode 37 is electrically connected to the third output terminal 33, and the fifth electrode 38 is connected to the fourth output terminal.
[0070] In this embodiment, the second output terminal 32 , the third output terminal 33 , and the fourth output terminal are used to provide a voltage with a polarity opposite to that of the voltage of the first output terminal 31 .
[0071] Optionally, in the first light-emitting unit 21 , the first doped layer of the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit is connected to the first electrode 34 , and the second doped layer of the second color light-emitting layer 212 of the first light-emitting unit is connected to the third electrode 36 .

[0074] In this embodiment, by providing the first extension segment, the electrical connection between the first extension segment and the first electrode 34 can be conveniently achieved in the process. By providing the second extension segment, the electrical connection between the second extension segment and the second electrode 35 can be conveniently achieved in the process.

[0079] In this embodiment, the second bonding layer 13 can be formed by dissolving visible yellow dye powder in a polyimide (PI) precursor to form a solution to form a blue absorber precursor, and then formed on the film surface of the first color light-emitting layer 11 by a spin coating process. Optionally, the mass percentage of the yellow dye powder in the blue absorber precursor can be 0.5%, but is not limited thereto, and the mass percentage of the yellow dye powder can be adjusted according to the absorption effect of blue light. By adding a blue absorber to the second bonding layer 13, the second bonding layer 13 can prevent the blue light emitted by the second color light-emitting layer 12 from emitting downward to excite the first color light-emitting layer 11 to emit light and cause optical crosstalk.
[0080] It should be understood that after the second bonding layer 13 is doped with a blue absorber, it can absorb blue light, but does not affect the transmission of light of other colors. That is, when the green light of the first color light-emitting layer 11 is emitted upward, the second bonding layer 13 does not absorb the green light of the first color light-emitting layer 11, thereby not affecting the normal display of the first color light-emitting layer 11.
[0081] In other embodiments, when the light to be absorbed is of other colors, an absorbent of a corresponding color may be added to the second bonding layer 13 to achieve absorption of the light of the corresponding color. This application does not limit this.
[0082] The second bonding layer 13 not only serves as a transparent bonding layer, but also prevents the light emitted by the second color light emitting layer 12 from emitting downward to excite the first color light emitting layer 11 to emit light and cause optical crosstalk. Through the above arrangement, the second color light emitting layer 222 of the second light emitting unit can make the light color purer when emitting light alone, avoiding color crosstalk from the first color light emitting layer 11.
[0083] In some embodiments, the second bonding layer 13 has a thickness of about 0.1 micrometer to about 5 micrometers. The thickness refers to the dimension in a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface of the substrate 10 .
[0084] In the display panel of the present application, the substrate 10 is provided with a driving circuit, and the driving circuit is electrically connected to the first light-emitting unit 21 and the second light-emitting unit 22 .
[0085] In this embodiment, the substrate 10 can be an integrated circuit wafer, which includes a substrate and a driving circuit on the substrate. The driving circuit includes a pixel driver array. The driving circuit is electrically connected to the first light-emitting unit 21 and the second light-emitting unit 22 for controlling the light-emitting structure 20 to emit light.
[0086] In the display panel of the present application, a first bonding layer 16 is disposed between the second color light emitting layer 12 and the substrate 10 , and the orthographic projection of the second color light emitting layer 12 on the first bonding layer 16 is located within the first bonding layer 16 .
[0087] In this embodiment, the first bonding layer 16 is a metal bonding layer, and the first bonding layer 16 may include one or more selected from the following bonding structures: Au Au bonding, Au Sn bonding, Au In bonding, Ti Ti bonding and Cu Cu bonding. The thickness of the first bonding layer 16 is about 0.1 micron to 3 microns.
[0088] In this embodiment, the P-type doped layer of the first color light-emitting layer 221 of the second light-emitting unit can be indirectly connected to the positive electrode through the first bonding layer 16. That is, the edge of the first bonding layer 16 can be partially exposed so as to contact the positive electrode, thereby realizing the connection between the first bonding layer 16 and the positive electrode, and the lower surface of the first color light-emitting layer 11 can contact the upper surface of the first bonding layer 16. Through the above arrangement, the electrical connection between the positive electrode and the first color light-emitting layer 11 can be realized.
[0089] In some embodiments, the metal bonding layer may also be used as a reflector to reflect light emitted by the first color light-emitting layer 11 or the second color light-emitting layer 12 above, thereby increasing the brightness of the display panel.
