[0058] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the above-mentioned first through hole array, a photoluminescent material layer and a first light absorbing layer can be filled for the first through hole array. The first light absorbing layer partially absorbs the light emitted by the micro LED unit, so that a part of the light emitted by the micro LED unit is absorbed after passing through the first light absorbing layer, and the remaining light is emitted from the micro LED device. The color of the light emitted by the micro LED unit is different from the color corresponding to the photoluminescent material layer, so that the light emitted from the micro LED light-emitting unit realizes the full-color display of the micro LED device after passing through the photoluminescent material layer.
[0059] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, each group of first through holes includes three first through holes, and a photoluminescent material layer and a first light absorption layer are filled in each group of first through holes respectively, wherein the first light absorption layer is used to partially absorb the light emitted by the micro LED unit, and the color of the light emitted by the micro LED unit is different from the color corresponding to the photoluminescent material layer. It can include: filling a photoluminescent material layer of a first color and a photoluminescent material layer of a second color in two first through holes in each group of first through holes respectively, and filling the first light absorption layer in the first through hole not filled with the photoluminescent material layer in each group of first through holes, wherein the first light absorption layer is used to partially absorb the light of a third color emitted by the micro LED unit, and the light corresponding to the first color, the light corresponding to the second color and the light of the third color are synthesized to obtain white light.
[0060] In this embodiment, the light of the first color refers to the light of the wavelength range corresponding to the first color, the light of the second color refers to the light of the wavelength range corresponding to the second color, and the light of the third color refers to the light of the wavelength range corresponding to the third color. The first color, the second color and the third color can be three primary colors, for example, the first color is red, the second color is green and the third color is blue. The material of the photoluminescent material layer of the first color and the material of the photoluminescent material layer of the second color include at least one of II-VI group quantum dots, III-V group quantum dots, perovskite quantum dots and carbon quantum dots, and the material of the first light absorbing layer includes organic dyes, nano absorption particles or inorganic oxides for absorbing blue light, for example, zinc oxide nanoparticle photoresist.
[0061] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, each group of first through holes includes two first through holes, and a photoluminescent material layer and a first light absorbing layer are respectively filled in each group of first through holes, wherein the first light absorbing layer is used to partially absorb the light emitted by the micro LED unit, and the color of the light emitted by the micro LED unit is different from the color corresponding to the photoluminescent material layer. The method includes: filling a photoluminescent material layer of a fourth color in one first through hole in each group of first through holes, and filling the first light absorbing layer in a first through hole in each group of first through holes that is not filled with the photoluminescent material layer, wherein the first light absorbing layer is used to partially absorb the light of a third color emitted by the micro LED unit, and white light is obtained by synthesizing the light of the fourth color and the light of the third color.
[0062] In this embodiment, the light of the fourth color refers to the light of the wavelength range corresponding to the fourth color, the fourth color is yellow light and the third color is blue. The material of the photoluminescent material layer of the fourth color may include at least one of group II-VI quantum dots, group III-V quantum dots, perovskite quantum dots and carbon quantum dots, and the material of the first light absorption layer may include organic dyes, nano absorption particles or inorganic oxides for absorbing blue light, for example, zinc oxide nanoparticle photoresist.
[0063] Reference Figure 2-Figure 11 ,in Figure 5 A schematic side view of a photoluminescent material layer filled in each group of first through holes is shown. Figure 4 ,like Figure 5 As shown, each group of first through holes includes three first through holes 2021 , and two first through holes 2021 in each group of first through holes are filled with a first color photoluminescent material layer 2031 and a second color photoluminescent material layer 2032 , respectively.
[0064] Reference Figure 2-Figure 11 ,in Figure 6 A schematic side view of a first light absorbing layer filled in a first through hole not filled with a photoluminescent material layer in each group of first through holes is shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the first light absorption layer 2033 is filled in the first through holes 2021 in each group of first through holes that are not filled with the photoluminescent material layer.
[0065] It is worth noting that the filling order of the first color photoluminescent material layer 2031, the second color photoluminescent material layer 2032 and the first light absorbing layer 2033 is only exemplary and is not limited here. The filling order of the first color photoluminescent material layer 2031, the second color photoluminescent material layer 2032 and the first light absorbing layer 2033 can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the actual preparation conditions such as specific processes and equipment. In addition, the third color light emitted by the micro LED unit 1011 excites the first color photoluminescent material layer 2031 to emit the first color light, and the third color light emitted by the micro LED unit 1011 excites the second color photoluminescent material layer 2032 to emit the second color light. The third color light emitted by the micro LED unit 1011 is partially absorbed after passing through the first light absorbing layer 2033, and the light passing through the first light absorbing layer 2033 is still the third color. The first color light, the second color light and the third color light emitted through the photoluminescent material layer and the first light absorbing layer can be synthesized to obtain white light. Furthermore, the first color, the second color and the third color can be three primary colors, for example, the first color is red, the second color is green and the third color is blue. Therefore, by providing a first light absorption layer that partially absorbs the blue light emitted by the micro LED unit, the blue light overflow caused by the blue light emitted by the micro LED unit directly from the micro LED device can be reduced, thereby reducing the color deviation and poor color purity caused by the light overflow, thereby improving the balance of different colors of light emitted from the micro LED device, improving the color purity of the micro LED, and then improving the display effect of the micro LED device.

Figure 7 As shown, the second barrier layer 204 may be, for example, a black photoresist layer, and thus may be formed on the substrate by spin coating. Figure 6 In the structure shown, a black photoresist layer is coated on the first barrier layer, the photoluminescent material layer and the first light absorbing layer, and then a second through hole array 2040 can be opened on the black photoresist layer, for example, by photolithography, so that the second through hole array 2040 is aligned with the first through hole array 2020 and is located above the first through hole array 2020 and exposes the photoluminescent material layer and the first light absorbing layer filled in the first through holes, wherein the second through hole array 2040 includes a plurality of groups of second through holes corresponding to the plurality of groups of first through holes, each group of second through holes includes at least two second through holes 2041, and the number of second through holes in each group of second through holes is the same as the number of first through holes in each group of first through holes.

Figure 7 The number of groups of second through holes and the number of second through holes in each group of second through holes are only schematic and correspond to the arrangement of the first through holes, and are not limited here. The second barrier layer 204 such as a black photoresist layer can make the screen appear black when the display device is powered off or turned off.
[0073] Reference Figure 2-Figure 11 ,in Figure 8 A side view schematic diagram of filling a filling portion in each group of second through holes is shown. Figure 7 ,like Figure 8 As shown, each group of second through holes includes three second through holes 2041, a first filter layer 2051 that allows only light of the first color to pass through is filled in the second through hole 2041 above the first through hole 2021 filled with the photoluminescent material layer 2031 of the first color; a second filter layer 2052 that allows only light of the second color to pass through is filled in the second through hole 2041 above the first through hole 2021 filled with the photoluminescent material layer 2032 of the second color; and a second light absorption layer 2053 for partially absorbing light of the third color is filled in the second through hole 2041 above the first through hole 2021 filled with the first light absorption layer 2033, wherein the second light absorption layer 2053 is made of the same material as the first light absorption layer 2033, thereby obtaining Figure 8 The second light absorbing layer 2053 can form an integral body with the first light absorbing layer 2033 to further enhance the absorption of the third color light emitted by the micro LED unit 1011, thereby further reducing the light overflow caused by the light emitted by the micro LED unit directly emitted from the micro LED device, and further improving the balance of different colors of light emitted from the micro LED device, thereby further improving the display effect of the micro LED device.
[0074] It is worth noting that the first filter layer only allows light of the first color to pass through, and the first filter layer will reflect light of other colors, such as light of the third color, back to the photoluminescent material layer of the first color, so that the light of the third color re-participates in exciting the photoluminescent material layer of the first color. The second filter layer only allows light of the second color to pass through, and the second filter layer will reflect light of other colors, such as light of the third color, back to the photoluminescent material layer of the second color, so that the light of the third color re-participates in exciting the photoluminescent material layer of the second color. The third filter layer only allows light of the third color to pass through, and the third filter layer will reflect light of other colors back to the first light absorption layer, so that the first light absorption layer absorbs it. Therefore, the functions of the first filter layer, the second filter layer and the third filter layer are to reflect light other than the light of the corresponding color, which is different from the function of the first light absorption layer.

On the one hand, the third light absorbing layer 2034 can further enhance the absorption of the third color light (e.g., blue light) emitted by the micro LED unit 1011, thereby further reducing the light overflow (e.g., blue light overflow) caused by the third color light (e.g., blue light) emitted by the micro LED unit directly from the micro LED device, thereby further improving the balance of light of different colors emitted from the micro LED device, thereby further improving the display effect of the micro LED device. On the other hand, when the light of the third color (e.g., blue light) emitted by the micro LED unit excites the photoluminescent material layer 2031 of the first color (e.g., red) and the photoluminescent material layer 2032 of the second color (e.g., green), part of the light of the third color (e.g., blue light) will pass through the photoluminescent material layer 2031 of the first color (e.g., red) and the photoluminescent material layer 2032 of the second color (e.g., green) and leak out. The third light absorption layer 2034 can absorb the part of the leaked light of the third color (e.g., blue light), thereby preventing the part of the leaked light of the third color (e.g., blue light) from being mixed with the light of the first color (e.g., red light) and the light of the second color (e.g., green light) obtained by the excitation, resulting in insufficient color purity and low saturation, thereby further improving the display effect of the micro LED device.

On the other hand, when the light of the third color (e.g., blue light) emitted by the micro LED unit excites the photoluminescent material layer 2031 of the first color (e.g., red) and the photoluminescent material layer 2032 of the second color (e.g., green), part of the light of the third color (e.g., blue light) will pass through the photoluminescent material layer 2031 of the first color (e.g., red) and the photoluminescent material layer 2032 of the second color (e.g., green) and leak out. After passing through the first filter layer 2051 and the second filter layer 2052, part of the light of the third color (e.g., blue light) may still leak out. The third light absorption layer 2034 can absorb the part of the leaked third color light (e.g., blue light), thereby preventing the part of the leaked third color light (e.g., blue light) from being mixed with the first color light (e.g., red light) and the second color light (e.g., green light) obtained by the excitation and causing insufficient color purity, thereby further improving the display effect of the micro LED device.
