Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of Micro-LED technology, and in particular to a Micro LED based on a composite microlens group and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, Micro-LED is considered by relevant technicians to be the most promising display technology. Its brightness, response speed, lifespan, operating temperature and other indicators are far superior to traditional display technologies such as OLED and LCD, and GaN-based materials are currently the preferred materials for the research and development of Micro-LED. However, a major problem that currently restricts the commercial development of Micro-LED is the relatively low efficiency of the device. There are two reasons for the low efficiency of Micro-LED. One is the low internal quantum efficiency and electrical injection efficiency caused by dislocation, defects, stress, device structure and other reasons of GaN-based epitaxial wafers; the other is the restriction of chip light extraction efficiency. Considering that the refractive index of GaN in the green light band (520nm) is close to 2.5 and that of air is 1, under the theoretical condition of vertical incidence, the Fresnel loss of the light output is higher than 80%. At the same time, the self-luminescence of Micro-LED pixels will also lead to the problem of light dispersion. Due to the intrinsic nature of semiconductor band transition luminescence, a single pixel emits light everywhere in space. This feature not only affects the collection of light from the main viewing angle, resulting in low luminous efficiency and insufficient display brightness of Micro-LED, but also causes light crosstalk between tiny pixels.

[0003] A major focus of Micro-LED device research and development is the design and preparation of light-emitting enhancement devices. Most reports use light-emitting enhancement devices such as single microlenses, photonic crystals, and Bragg reflectors. However, at this stage, the light-emitting efficiency and light-emitting effect of Micro-LED devices need to be further improved. Summary of the invention

[0044] Step 3: The portion of the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer after etching except for the porous GaN microlens array is formed into a Micro-LED die array, wherein the Micro-LED die array includes a plurality of Micro-LED dies 201 corresponding to the porous GaN microlenses 211 one by one, a pixel passivation layer 202 is formed on the side wall of the Micro-LED die 201, and a cathode transparent film layer 203 is formed on the top of the porous GaN microlens 211, on the pixel passivation layer 202, and on the side wall of the Micro-LED die 201; Figure 5 As shown, etching is performed on the processed Micro-LED epitaxial wafer, and the portion other than the porous GaN microlens array is further etched to prepare a Micro-LED die array, wherein the Micro-LED die array includes a plurality of disconnected Micro-LED die 201; the line width of a single Micro-LED die 201 in the Micro-LED die array is less than 10 microns, and the spacing between adjacent Micro-LED die 201 is less than 5 microns, and the center of each Micro-LED die 201 coincides with the center of the electrode connection hole 102, that is, the center of the porous GaN microlens 211, the center of the Micro-LED die 201, The centers of the electrode connection holes 102 correspond to each other and overlap one by one; the preparation of the Micro-LED die array can be carried out by a sidewall passivation process, and the growth process of the pixel passivation layer 202 includes atomic layer deposition (ALD) and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PEVD), and a pixel passivation layer 202 is formed on the sidewall of each Micro-LED die 201.

The refractive index of the subsequent film layers needs to decrease layer by layer, and the refractive index meets n i ∈[n e , n1]. The refractive index of the outermost film layer microlens array grown satisfies n e ∈[1, 1.5];
