DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] Aspects of some embodiments of the present disclosure and methods for implementing some embodiments of the present disclosure may be more easily understood by referring to the detailed description and drawings of the embodiments. The described embodiments are provided as examples so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey aspects of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. Therefore, processes, elements, and techniques that are redundant, irrelevant or unrelated to the description of the embodiments, or are not necessary for a full understanding of aspects of the present disclosure for those of ordinary skill in the art may be omitted. Unless otherwise stated, throughout the drawings and written descriptions, the same reference numerals, characters, or combinations thereof represent the same elements, and therefore, their repeated descriptions may be omitted.
[0032] The described embodiments may have various modifications and may be embodied in different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments shown here. The use of "may", "may" or "may not" in describing an embodiment corresponds to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The present disclosure encompasses all modifications, equivalents and alternatives within the conceptual and technical scope of the present disclosure. In addition, each of the features of the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be partially combined with each other or all combined with each other, and various interlocks and drives are technically feasible. Each embodiment may be implemented independently of one another, or may be implemented together in association.
[0033] In the drawings, the relative sizes of elements, layers, and regions may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. In addition, the use of cross-hatching and / or shading is generally provided in the drawings to make the boundaries between adjacent elements clear. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or imply any preference or requirement for a specific material, material property, size, ratio, commonality between illustrated elements, and / or any other characteristic, attribute, property, etc. of an element.
[0034] Various embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views as schematic diagrams of embodiments and / or intermediate structures. As such, variations in the illustrated shapes caused by, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are anticipated. In addition, for the purpose of describing embodiments according to the concepts of the present disclosure, the descriptions of specific structures or functions disclosed herein are merely illustrative. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed herein should not be interpreted as being limited to the illustrated shapes of elements, layers, or regions, but will include deviations in shapes caused by, for example, manufacturing.
[0035] For example, an implanted region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have chamfered or curved features and / or a gradient of implant concentration at its edges rather than a binary change from implanted to non-implanted region. Likewise, a buried region formed by implantation may result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the implantation takes place.
[0036] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as "under ...", "below ...", "lower", "lower side", "below ...", "above ...", "upper", "upper side", etc. may be used here to describe the relationship between an element or feature and another element or feature as shown in the drawings. It will be understood that in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over, the element described as "under" "under" or "below" other elements or features will then be oriented to be "above" the other elements or features. Therefore, the example terms "under ..." and "under ..." can include both upper and lower orientations. The device can be oriented otherwise (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptors used here should be interpreted accordingly. Similarly, when a first component (part) is described as being arranged "on" a second component (part), this means that the first component (part) is arranged on the upper or lower side of the second component (part), without being limited to its upper side based on the direction of gravity.
[0037] In addition, the phrase "in a plan view" means when the target portion is viewed from above, and the phrase "in a schematic cross-sectional view" means when the schematic cross-section intercepted by vertically cutting the object portion is viewed from the side. The term "overlapping with..." or "overlapping" means that the first object can be above or below or on the side of the second object, and vice versa. In addition, the term "overlapping with..." can include stacking, facing or facing, extending on, covering or partially covering, or any other suitable term as will be appreciated and understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. The expression "non-overlapping" can include meanings such as "separate" or "biased" or "deviation" and any other suitable equivalents as will be appreciated and understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. The terms "facing" and "facing" can mean that the first object can be directly or indirectly opposite to the second object. In the case where a third object is between the first object and the second object, the first object and the second object can be understood to be indirectly opposite to each other, but still facing each other.
[0038] It will be understood that when an element, layer, region, or component is referred to as being "formed on," "on," "connected to," or "(operably or communicatively) coupled to" another element, layer, region, or component, the element, layer, region, or component may be directly formed on, directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other element, layer, region, or component, or indirectly formed on, indirectly on, indirectly connected to, or indirectly coupled to the other element, layer, region, or component, such that one or more intervening elements, layers, regions, or components may be present. Additionally, this may collectively mean directly coupled or indirectly coupled or directly connected or indirectly coupled as well as integrally coupled or non-integrally coupled or integrally connected or non-integrally connected. For example, when a layer, region, or component is referred to as being "electrically connected" or "electrically coupled" to another layer, region, or component, the layer, region, or component may be directly electrically connected or directly coupled to the other layer, region, or component, or there may be one or more intervening layers, regions, or components. One or more intermediate components may include switches, resistors, and / or capacitors, etc. When describing embodiments, unless explicitly described as being directly connected, the expression of connection indicates electrical connection, and "directly connected / directly coupled" or "directly on..." means that one component is directly connected or directly coupled to another component, or is directly on another component, without intermediate components.
[0039] In addition, in this specification, when a part of a layer, film, region, plate, etc. is formed on another part, the formation direction is not limited to the upper direction, but includes forming the part on the side surface or in the lower direction. On the contrary, when a part of a layer, film, region, plate, etc. is formed "below" another part, this not only includes the case where the part is "directly below" the other part, but also includes the case where there is another part between the part and the other part. At the same time, other expressions describing the relationship between components, such as "between...", "directly between..." or "adjacent to..." and "directly adjacent to..." can be similarly interpreted. It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "between" two elements or layers, the element or layer can be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or one or more intermediate elements or layers may also be present.
[0040] For the purposes of this disclosure, when expressions such as "at least one of..." or "any one of..." or "one or more of..." are located after a list of elements, the entire list of elements is modified without modifying the individual elements in the list. For example, "at least one of X, Y, and Z" and "at least one of the group consisting of X, Y, and Z" can be interpreted as only X, only Y, only Z, any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z (such as XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ as examples), or any variation thereof. Similarly, the expression "at least one of A and B" may include A, B, or A and B. As used herein, "or" generally means "and / or", and the term "and / or" includes any combination and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items. For example, the expression "A and / or B" may include A, B, or A and B. Similarly, expressions such as “at least one of,” “a plurality of,” “one of,” and other prepositional phrases when preceding or following a list of elements modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.
[0041] It will be understood that, although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. can be used here to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms do not correspond to a specific order, position or superiority, and are only used to distinguish an element, member, component, region, area, layer, section or part from another element, member, component, region, area, layer, section or part. Therefore, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first element, first component, first region, first layer or first section described below can be referred to as the second element, second component, second region, second layer or second section. Describing an element as a "first" element may not require or imply the presence of a second element or other elements. The terms "first", "second", etc. can also be used here to distinguish between elements of different categories or elements of different groups. For the sake of simplicity, the terms "first", "second", etc. can respectively represent "first category (or first group)", "second category (or second group)", etc.
[0042] In the example, the x-axis, y-axis and / or z-axis are not limited to the three axes of the rectangular coordinate system, and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. The same applies to the first direction, the second direction and / or the third direction.
[0043] The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments and are not intended to be limitations of the present disclosure. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one" and "a (kind / person)" are also intended to include plural forms, and the plural forms are also intended to include singular forms. It will also be understood that when the terms "comprise", "include", "have" and their variations are used in this specification, the descriptions indicate the presence of stated features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or their groups.
[0044] As used herein, the terms "substantially", "about", "approximately" and similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, and are intended to account for the inherent deviations of measured or calculated values that one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize. For example, "substantially" may include a range of + / - 5% of the corresponding value. "About" or "approximately" as used herein include the stated values and mean: within the acceptable deviation range of the specific value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, taking into account the measurement being discussed and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "about" may mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value. In addition, when describing embodiments of the present disclosure, the use of "may" refers to "one or more embodiments of the present disclosure".
[0045] The electronic device or electronic apparatus according to the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein and / or any other related apparatus or component can be implemented using any suitable hardware, firmware (e.g., an application specific integrated circuit), software, or a combination of software, firmware, and hardware to process data or digital signals. For example, the various components of these devices can be formed on an integrated circuit (IC) chip or on separate IC chips. In addition, the various components of these devices can be implemented on a flexible printed circuit film, a tape carrier package (TCP), a printed circuit board (PCB), or formed on a substrate. The circuit hardware may include, for example, a general-purpose or dedicated central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a graphics processing unit (GPU), and a programmable logic device such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) configured to execute instructions stored in a non-temporary storage medium in an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
[0046] In some embodiments, known structures and devices may be described in the accompanying drawings with respect to one or more functional blocks (e.g., block diagrams), units and / or modules to avoid making various embodiments unnecessarily obscure. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that such blocks, units and / or modules are physically implemented by logic circuits, discrete components, microprocessors, hard-wired circuits, memory elements, line connections and other electronic circuits. This can be formed using semiconductor-based manufacturing techniques or other manufacturing techniques. Blocks, units and / or modules implemented by microprocessors or other similar hardware can be programmed and controlled using software to perform the various functions discussed herein, optionally driven by firmware and / or software. In addition, each block, unit and / or module may be implemented by a combination of dedicated hardware, or dedicated hardware that performs some functions and a processor (e.g., one or more programmed microprocessors and related circuits) that performs functions different from those of the dedicated hardware. In addition, in some embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, blocks, units and / or modules may be physically divided into two or more interacting separate blocks, units and / or modules. Additionally, in some embodiments, blocks, units and / or modules may be physically combined into more complex blocks, units and / or modules without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It will also be understood that terms (such as those defined in general dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and / or the context of this specification, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless clearly defined as such herein.
[0048] Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 The display device 10 is a device that displays a video or a still image. The display device 10 can be applied to portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablet personal computers (PCs), mobile communication terminals, electronic notebooks, e-book readers, portable multimedia players (PMPs), navigation systems, ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), etc. For example, the display device 10 can be applied as a display part of a television (TV), a laptop computer, a monitor, a billboard, or an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In addition, the display device 10 can also be applied to a smart watch, a watch phone, or a head-mounted display (HMD) device for realizing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
[0050] The display device 10 may include a driving part 100, a display part 200, and a circuit board 300. The display device 10 may further include a protective layer 900 around the driving part 100.
[0051] The driving unit 100 may have a planar shape similar to a rectangle. For example, the driving unit 100 may have a planar shape similar to a rectangle having a side in a first direction DR1 and a side in a second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1. The lengths of the side in the first direction DR1 and the side in the second direction DR2 of the driving unit 100 may be different. The corner where the side in the first direction DR1 and the side in the second direction DR2 of the driving unit 100 meet may be formed with a curvature (e.g., a predetermined curvature), or may be formed as a right angle. The planar shape of the driving unit 100 is not specifically limited, and the driving unit 100 may also be formed in a shape similar to a polygon, a circle, or an ellipse.
[0052] The display unit 200 may be located on the driving unit 100. In the display device 10, the driving unit 100 and the display unit 200 may be joined to each other. Unlike the driving unit 100, the display unit 200 may have a square-like shape. For example, the display unit 200 may have a planar shape similar to a square, and may have sides in the first direction DR1 and sides in the second direction DR2 of the same length. The planar shape of the display unit 200 is not specifically limited, and the display unit 200 may also be formed in a shape similar to a polygon, a circle, or an ellipse. The planar shape of the display device 10 may conform to the planar shape of the display unit 200, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0053] The display unit 200 may have a larger plane area than the drive unit 100. The drive unit 100 and the display unit 200 may include different substrates, and the different substrates may have different areas. Different elements may be formed in the drive unit 100 and the display unit 200, and may be formed separately on different substrates. The display device 10 may be manufactured by forming a plurality of elements having different sizes, line widths, and manufacturing processes on different substrates and then joining the plurality of elements, providing the advantages of improving product performance and yield rate. This will be described later with reference to other drawings.
[0054] The circuit board 300 may be electrically connected to a plurality of pads in a pad region of the display portion 200 using a conductive adhesive member such as an anisotropic conductive film. The circuit board 300 may be a flexible printed circuit board or a flexible film. Figure 1The circuit board 300 is shown to be unfolded, but the circuit board 300 may be bent. When the circuit board 300 is bent, one end of the circuit board 300 may be located on the bottom surface of the driving portion 100. The other end of the circuit board 300 may be connected to a pad in the pad area of the display portion 200 using a conductive adhesive member. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the circuit board 300 may be attached to the bottom surface of the driving portion 100.
[0055] In one or more embodiments, the display device 10 may further include a heat dissipation layer that overlaps the driving portion 100 and the display portion 200 in the third direction DR3. The heat dissipation layer may be located on the bottom surface of the driving portion 100 and may dissipate heat generated from the driving portion 100 and the display portion 200. The heat dissipation layer may include a layer of a metal having high thermal conductivity (such as silver, copper, or aluminum) or graphite.
[0056] The protective layer 900 may surround the driving part 100 and may be located on the bottom surface of the display part 200. The protective layer 900 may reduce a step difference caused by a difference between the areas of the driving part 100 and the display part 200 and may also protect the driving part 100 and the display part 200.
[0057] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A plan view of an example of a drive unit. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A plan view of an example of a display portion. Figure 4 It is shown that the Figure 3 A plan view showing the arrangement of a plurality of wirings in a display portion.

The driving part 100 may include a first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, a driving circuit part 400 formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, and a data driving part 700.
[0059] The first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may be a silicon (Si) substrate, a germanium (Ge) substrate, or a silicon germanium (SiGe) substrate. A plurality of first transistors may be formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and may be electrically connected to form a driving circuit portion 400 and a data driving portion 700. The first transistor may be formed by a semiconductor process. For example, the first transistor may be formed as a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistor.
[0060] The driving circuit part 400 may be shown as being located at an upper portion of the driving part 100, and the data driving part 700 and the first pad area PDA1 are located below the driving circuit part 400, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the positions of the driving circuit part 400 and the data driving part 700 in the driving part 100 may vary according to the design structure of the plurality of circuit elements formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110.
[0061] The first pad area PDA1 may include a plurality of first pads PD1 positioned along the first direction DR1. The first pads PD1 may be electrically connected to the plurality of second pads PD2 of the display part 200, and may thereby be electrically connected to the circuit board 300. The first pads PD1 may transmit an electrical signal applied from the circuit board 300 to the driving circuit part 400, the gate driving parts 610 and 620, and the data driving part 700.
[0062] The display portion 200 may include a second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 and a plurality of pixels PX and gate driving portions 610 and 620 formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The display portion 200 may include a display area DAA where the pixels PX are located and a non-display area NA around the display area DAA. The gate driving portions 610 and 620 and the second pad area PDA2 may be located in the non-display area NA.
[0063] The second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 may be a Si substrate, a Ge substrate or a SiGe substrate. A plurality of second transistors may be formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 and may be electrically connected to each other to form gate drive units 610 and 620 and a pixel circuit unit for lighting the pixel PX. The second transistor may be formed by a semiconductor process. For example, the second transistor may be formed as a CMOS transistor.
[0064] The display area DAA may include pixels PX including light-emitting elements. Each of the pixels PX may include three sub-pixels (e.g., a first sub-pixel SP1, a second sub-pixel SP2, and a third sub-pixel SP3). The three sub-pixels (e.g., a first sub-pixel SP1, a second sub-pixel SP2, and a third sub-pixel SP3) may together form a pixel PX to display a color, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Optionally, each of the pixels PX may include more than three sub-pixels. A plurality of sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may be arranged in a matrix form in a first direction DR1 and a second direction DR2. Figure 6 As shown in , each of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may be electrically connected to a pixel circuit composed of a plurality of second transistors formed on a second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. Each of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 includes a light emitting element, and the light emitting element may emit light in the display area DAA according to an electrical signal applied from the corresponding pixel circuit.
[0065] Some of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 located in the display area DAA of the display part 200 may overlap the driving part 100 in the thickness direction of the display device 10, and the other sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may not overlap the driving part 100. The driving part 100 may have a smaller area than the display part 200 and may be adjacent to one side of the display part 200. Therefore, only some of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may overlap the driving part 100 in the thickness direction.
[0066] A plurality of scan lines GL extending in the first direction DR1 and arranged in the second direction DR2 and a plurality of data lines DL extending in the second direction DR2 and arranged in the first direction DR1 may be located in the display area DAA. Figure 5 , the scan lines GL may include different types of scan lines (e.g., a first scan line GWL, a second scan line GCL, and a third scan line GBL), and may further include emission control lines EL1 and EL2. The scan lines GL and the data lines DL may be connected to the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 in the display area DAA. The scan lines GL may be electrically connected to the gate driving parts 610 and 620 of the display part 200, and the data lines DL may be electrically connected to the data driving part 700 of the driving part 100.

[0067] Subpixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may be electrically connected to scan lines GL and data lines DL. Subpixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may receive data voltages from data lines DL according to scan signals from scan lines GL and may enable their light emitting elements to emit light according to the data voltages.
[0068] The non-display area NA may surround the display area DAA. The non-display area NA may be an area where no pixel PX is disposed so as not to emit light. The non-display area NA may include gate driving parts 610 and 620, a second pad area PDA2, and a plurality of through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3.
[0069] The gate driving parts 610 and 620 may include a scan driver 610 and an emission driver 620. The scan driver 610 may include a plurality of scan transistors formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and the emission driver 620 may include a plurality of emission transistors formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The scan transistors and the emission transistors may be formed by a semiconductor process. For example, the scan transistors and the emission transistors may be formed as CMOS transistors.
[0070] The scan driver 610 may be located at one side of the display area DAA (e.g., located at one side of the display area DAA in the first direction DR1, or at the left side of the display area DAA). The emission driver 620 may be located at the other side of the display area DAA (e.g., located at the other side of the display area DAA in the first direction DR1, such as at the right side of the display area DAA). The scan line GL may be electrically connected to the scan driver 610 or the emission driver 620. For example, the first scan line GWL, the second scan line GCL, and the third scan line GBL may be connected to the scan driver 610, and the emission control lines EL1 and EL2 may be connected to the emission driver 620.
[0071] The second pad area PDA2 may be positioned at one side of the display area DAA relative to the second direction DR2 (e.g., at the lower side of the display area DAA).

[0074] The first through hole TSV1 may be located on one side of the display area DAA within the non-display area NA. For example, the first through hole TSV1 may be located on the lower side of the display area DAA (for example, in a plan view). In some embodiments, the first through hole TSV1 may be located in the second pad area PDA2 and may be arranged not to overlap with the second pad PD2. The first through hole TSV1 may be positioned to correspond to the data line DL located in the display area DAA. The number of the first through holes TSV1 may be equal to the number of data lines DL and the number of columns of sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 in the display area DAA. The data lines DL may correspond to the first through holes TSV1, respectively, and may be electrically connected to the connection lines within the first through holes TSV1. The sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may receive data signals from the data lines DL connected to the drive unit 100 through the first through holes TSV1.

[0082] The gate driving parts 610 and 620 may include a scan driver 610 and an emission driver 620. The scan driver 610 may include a plurality of scan transistors formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and the emission driver 620 may include a plurality of emission transistors formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The scan transistors and the emission transistors may be formed by a semiconductor process. For example, the scan transistors and the emission transistors may be formed as CMOS transistors.
[0083] The scan driver 610 may include a first scan signal output portion 611, a second scan signal output portion 612, and a third scan signal output portion 613. The first scan signal output portion 611, the second scan signal output portion 612, and the third scan signal output portion 613 may receive a scan timing control signal SCS from the drive circuit portion 400. The first scan signal output portion 611 may generate a write scan signal according to the scan timing control signal SCS from the drive circuit portion 400, and may sequentially output the write scan signal to the first scan line GWL. The second scan signal output portion 612 may generate a control scan signal according to the scan timing control signal SCS, and may sequentially output the control scan signal to the second scan line GCL.

[0085] The data driving part 700 may receive the digital video data DATA and the data timing control signal DCS from the driving circuit part 400. The data driving part 700 may convert the digital video data DATA into an analog data voltage according to the data timing control signal DCS, and may output the analog data voltage to the data line DL. In this case, the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may be selected by the write scan signal from the scan driver 610, and the data voltage may be supplied to the selected sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3.
[0086] The pixels PX, the data lines DL, the scan lines GL, and the emission control lines EL1 and EL2 may be located in the display area DAA of the display portion 200. The scan lines GL may include a first scan line GWL, a second scan line GCL, and a third scan line GBL. The scan lines GL and the emission control lines EL1 and EL2 may extend in a first direction DR1 and may be spaced apart from each other in a second direction DR2. The data lines DL may extend in the second direction DR2 and may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction DR1.
[0087] Figure 6 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0088] Reference Figure 6 , the sub-pixel SP1 may be connected to the first scan line GWL, the second scan line GCL, the third scan line GBL, the first emission control line EL1, the second emission control line EL2, and the data line DL. In addition, the sub-pixel SP1 may be connected to the first drive voltage line VSL to which a low potential voltage corresponding to the first drive voltage VSS is applied, the second drive voltage line VDL to which a high potential voltage corresponding to the second drive voltage VDD is applied, and the third drive voltage line VIL to which an initialization voltage corresponding to the third drive voltage VINT is applied. Therefore, the first drive voltage line VSL may be a low potential voltage line, the second drive voltage line VDL may be a high potential voltage line, and the third drive voltage line VIL may be an initialization voltage line. In this case, the first drive voltage VSS may be lower than the third drive voltage VINT, and the second drive voltage VDD may be higher than the third drive voltage VINT.
[0089] The sub-pixel SP1 includes a plurality of first to sixth transistors T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 , T5 , and T6 , a light emitting element LE, a first capacitor C1 , and a second capacitor C2 .
[0090] The light emitting element LE emits light according to the driving current flowing through the channel of the first transistor T1. The amount of light emitted by the light emitting element LE may be proportional to the driving current. The light emitting element LE may be located between the fourth transistor T4 and the first driving voltage line VSL. The first electrode of the light emitting element LE may be connected to the drain electrode of the fourth transistor T4, and the second electrode of the light emitting element LE may be connected to the first driving voltage line VSL. The first electrode of the light emitting element LE may be an anode, and the second electrode of the light emitting element LE may be a cathode. The light emitting element LE may be an organic light emitting diode (LED) including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light emitting layer placed between the first electrode and the second electrode, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the light emitting element LE may be an inorganic light emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an inorganic semiconductor located between the first electrode and the second electrode, in which case the light emitting element LE may be a micro light emitting diode (micro-LED).
[0091] The first transistor T1 can be used as a driving transistor, which controls a source-drain current or a driving current flowing between its source electrode and drain electrode according to a voltage applied to its gate electrode. The first transistor T1 includes a gate electrode connected to a first node N1, a source electrode connected to a drain electrode of a sixth transistor T6, and a drain electrode connected to a second node N2.
[0092] The second transistor T2 may be located between the first electrode of the first capacitor C1 and the data line DL. The second transistor T2 is turned on by a write scan signal from the first scan line GWL, connecting the first electrode of the first capacitor C1 to the data line DL. As a result, a data voltage from the data line DL may be applied to the first electrode of the first capacitor C1. The second transistor T2 includes a gate electrode connected to the first scan line GWL, a source electrode connected to the data line DL, and a drain electrode connected to the first electrode of the first capacitor C1.
[0093] The third transistor T3 may be located between the first node N1 and the second node N2. The third transistor T3 is turned on by a control scan signal from the second scan line GCL, thereby connecting the first node N1 to the second node N2. Therefore, the gate electrode and the source electrode of the first transistor T1 are connected, thereby causing the first transistor T1 to operate as a diode. The third transistor T3 includes a gate electrode connected to the second scan line GCL, a source electrode connected to the second node N2, and a drain electrode connected to the first node N1.
[0094] The fourth transistor T4 may be connected between the second node N2 and the third node N3. The fourth transistor T4 is turned on by the first emission control signal from the first emission control line EL1, thereby connecting the second node N2 to the third node N3. Therefore, the driving current from the first transistor T1 may be applied to the light emitting element LE. The fourth transistor T4 includes a gate electrode connected to the first emission control line EL1, a source electrode connected to the second node N2, and a drain electrode connected to the third node N3.
[0095] The fifth transistor T5 may be located between the third node N3 and the third driving voltage line VIL. The fifth transistor T5 is turned on by the bias scanning signal from the third scanning line GBL, thereby connecting the third node N3 to the third driving voltage line VIL. Therefore, the initialization voltage VINT from the third driving voltage line VIL may be applied to the first electrode of the light emitting element LE. The fifth transistor T5 includes a gate electrode connected to the third scanning line GBL, a source electrode connected to the third node N3, and a drain electrode connected to the third driving voltage line VIL.
[0096] The sixth transistor T6 may be located between the source electrode of the first transistor T1 and the second drive voltage line VDL. The sixth transistor T6 is turned on by the second emission control signal from the second emission control line EL2, thereby connecting the source electrode of the first transistor T1 to the second drive voltage line VDL. Therefore, the second drive voltage VDD from the second drive voltage line VDL may be applied to the source electrode of the first transistor T1. The sixth transistor T6 includes a gate electrode connected to the second emission control line EL2, a source electrode connected to the second drive voltage line VDL, and a drain electrode connected to the source electrode of the first transistor T1.
[0097] The first capacitor C1 is formed between the first node N1 and the drain electrode of the second transistor T2. The first capacitor C1 includes a first electrode connected to the drain electrode of the second transistor T2, and a second electrode connected to the first node N1.
[0098] The second capacitor C2 is formed between the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the second driving voltage line VDL. The second capacitor C2 includes a first electrode connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1, and a second electrode connected to the second driving voltage line VDL.
[0099] The first node N1 is a junction of the gate electrode of the first transistor T1, the drain electrode of the third transistor T3, the second electrode of the first capacitor C1, and the first electrode of the second capacitor C2. The second node N2 is a junction of the drain electrode of the first transistor T1, the source electrode of the third transistor T3, and the source electrode of the fourth transistor T4. The third node N3 is a junction of the drain electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the source electrode of the fifth transistor T5, and the first electrode of the light emitting element LE.
[0100] The first to sixth transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 may be MOSFETs. For example, the first to sixth transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 may be P-type MOSFETs, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the first to sixth transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 may be N-type MOSFETs. Alternatively, some of the first to sixth transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 may be P-type MOSFETs, while the other transistors may be N-type MOSFETs.
[0101] Figure 6 The subpixel SP is shown to include six transistors (e.g., first to sixth transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6) and two capacitors (e.g., first capacitor C1 and second capacitor C2), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the number of transistors and capacitors included in each subpixel SP is not specifically limited.
[0102] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of a display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 8 is a bottom view of a display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 1 shows the arrangement of routing wires RM1, RM2, and RM3 that electrically connect the display section 200 and the driving section 100, Figure 8 An arrangement of the first through-hole TSV1 and the second through-hole TSV2 viewed from the rear side of the display device 10 is shown.
[0103] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The display device 10 may include a driving portion 100 and a display portion 200, wherein the driving portion 100 includes a first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and a driving circuit layer 120 on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, and the display portion 200 includes a second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 and a pixel circuit portion 220 and a display element layer 230 on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The display device 10 may include two different single crystal semiconductor substrates (e.g., a first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and a second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210) stacked in a third direction DR3, and the third direction DR3 is a thickness direction of the display device 10.
[0104] The driving part 100 may include circuit elements suitable for emission of the light emitting element included in the display element layer 230 of the display part 200. As described above, the driving circuit layer 120 of the driving part 100 may include a driving circuit part 400 and a data driving part 700. Circuit elements (e.g., transistors and capacitors) forming the driving circuit part 400 and the data driving part 700 may be formed as CMOS transistors on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110.
[0105] The display section 200 may include a plurality of light emitting elements that emit light to display an image on the display device 10. The light emitting elements may be electrically connected to circuit elements formed in the driving section 100, and may thereby emit light. In addition, the display section 200 may include a pixel circuit section 220 that accommodates the gate driving sections 610 and 620, and circuit elements and wiring that form a pixel circuit electrically connected to the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3. The pixel circuit section 220 may include, for example, Figure 6 The pixel circuit unit 220 may further include the first to sixth transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6, the scanning transistors forming the gate driving units 610 and 620, the scanning lines GL and the data lines DL as circuit elements and wiring. Fig.12 The plurality of terminals DTD and GTD are connected to the through holes TSV1 , TSV2 , and TSV3 in the non-display area NA of the display part 200 .
[0106] The protective layer 900 may be located around the driving portion 100. The protective layer 900 may surround the driving portion 100 and may be located on the bottom surface of the display portion 200. The protective layer 900 may cover the driving portion 100 during the manufacture of the display device 10, and may fill the step difference between the driving portion 100 and the display portion 200. During the manufacture of the display device 10, when the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 is attached to the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 having a different area from the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, the protective layer 900 may fill the step difference between the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and may allow further processing to be performed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210.
[0107] In one or more embodiments, the thickness of the protective layer 900 may be greater than the thickness of the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110. The protective layer 900 may have a thickness equal to or greater than the combined thickness of the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and the driving circuit layer 120 on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110. Since the protective layer 900 is thicker than the driving part 100, a portion of the protective layer 900 may directly contact the bottom surface of the display part 200, and a portion of the protective layer 900 may directly contact the bottom surface of the driving part 100. Therefore, both the driving part 100 and the display part 200 may be completely covered by the protective layer 900 at the bottom surface of the display device 10.
[0108] In addition, the protective layer 900 may have the same plane area as the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and the side of the protective layer 900 may be aligned with the side of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. When the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 is separated from the wafer substrate during the manufacture of the display device 10, the protective layer 900 may be separated together with the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and thus, the plane area of the protective layer 900 may be the same as the plane area of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. Even if the display device 10 includes the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 having different plane areas, any local step difference may be compensated by the protective layer 900, ensuring structural stability.
[0109] The planar area of the driving part 100 or the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may be smaller than the planar area of the display part 200 or the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The transistors formed in the driving part 100 may be very small in size or line width because they are formed by a semiconductor microfabrication process. The driving part 100 may accommodate a large number of circuit elements with a high integration density, and may provide an advantage of reducing power consumption due to miniaturization of the circuit elements.
[0110] In addition, since the driving unit 100 includes only CMOS elements formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and no light-emitting elements, it may be sufficient to ensure space only for elements formed by a microfabrication process. It is still appropriate that the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 is smaller than the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and therefore, since a considerable number of driving units 100 can be manufactured on a single wafer substrate, the yield rate can be improved. For example, since the manufacture of each driving unit 100 involves a high-cost semiconductor process, the improved yield rate can also save costs. In addition, a large number of light-emitting elements can be formed on the relatively large second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, enabling a high-resolution display device to be realized.
[0111] The display device 10 may include a connection wiring layer 500 located between the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 of the display part 200 and the driving circuit layer 120 of the driving part 100. The connection wiring layer 500 may be located on the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The connection wiring layer 500 may include routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3. The routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 may connect the pixel circuit part 220 of the display part 200 and the circuit board 300 to the driving part 100. The driving circuit layer 120 of the driving part 100 may be electrically connected to the display part 200 and the circuit board 300 through the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 of the connection wiring layer 500 to transmit an electrical signal for lighting.
[0112] The first routing wiring RM1 may be connected to the data line DL in the display part 200 and the data driving part 700 in the driving part 100. The first routing wiring RM1 may be located in the first through hole TSV1 formed in the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and may include a data routing wiring GDL connecting the wiring layer 500. The first through hole TSV1 may be located in the non-display area NA of the display part 200, and may not overlap the driving part 100 in the thickness direction of the display device 10.
[0113] In one or more embodiments, the first through hole TSV1 may be located in the second pad area PDA2 of the non-display area NA of the display part 200, and may not overlap with the driving part 100 but overlap with the circuit board 300 in the thickness direction of the display device 10. Part of the first routing wiring RM1 may be located in the first through hole TSV1, and the data routing wiring GDL may be located in the connection wiring layer 500 to connect the first through hole TSV1 and the data driving part 700 that are not overlapped with the driving part 100. As described above, the display part 200 may have a larger plane area than the driving part 100, and the driving part 100 located on the back surface of the display part 200 may not overlap with the non-display area NA of part of the display part 200. Therefore, the driving part 100 may not overlap with the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 located in the non-display area NA, and the routing wiring RM1, RM2, and RM3 may include wiring that connects the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 to the driving part 100.
[0114] The number of first through holes TSV1 may be equal to the number of columns of sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 in the display area DAA. For example, if the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 are arranged in the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 in the display area DAA, and the number of sub-pixel columns arranged in the first direction DR1 is 4000, the number of first through holes TSV1 may also be 4000. The first through holes TSV1 may correspond one-to-one to the columns of sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 arranged in the first direction DR1, and may also correspond one-to-one to the data lines DL and the first routing wiring RM1 arranged in the first direction DR1. One data line DL arranged in parallel to one sub-pixel column may be connected to the data driving part 700 through one first routing wiring RM1 located in one first through hole TSV1. The number of first routing wirings RM1 and the number of first through holes TSV1 may be equal to the number of sub-pixel columns and the number of data lines DL.
[0115] In addition, the data lines DL may extend in the second direction DR2 and may be connected to the corresponding first through holes TSV1 in the non-display area NA without bending to maintain substantially parallel alignment. The display device 10 may maintain uniform spacing between the data lines DL in both the display area DAA and the non-display area NA of the display unit 200, thereby eliminating the need for a fan-out structure in which the data lines DL are bent and narrowed in the non-display area NA. The spacing between the first through holes TSV1 and the spacing between the data routing wirings GDL may also be uniformly maintained similar to the spacing between the data lines DL. The driving unit 100 of the display device 10 may have a width that allows the data lines DL and the data routing wirings GDL to extend in parallel at intervals of equal distance. For example, the width of the driving unit 100 in the first direction DR1 may be greater than the width of the display area DAA in the first direction DR1. The display device 10 connects the data lines DL to the driving unit 100 through the first through holes TSV1 and arranges them in parallel without a fan-out structure, thereby reducing or minimizing interference between adjacent wirings.
[0116] The second routing wiring RM2 may be connected to the gate driving parts 610 and 620 located in the display part 200 and the driving circuit part 400 located in the driving part 100. The second routing wiring RM2 may be located in the second through hole TSV2 formed in the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and may include a control routing wiring TCL connecting the wiring layer 500. The second through hole TSV2 may be located in the non-display area NA of the display part 200, and may not overlap with the driving part 100 and the circuit board 300 in the thickness direction of the display device 10. In some embodiments, the second through hole TSV2 may overlap with each of the scan driver 610 and the emission driver 620.
[0117] A portion of the second routing wiring RM2 may be located within the second through-via TSV2 , and the control routing wiring TCL may be located in the connection wiring layer 500 and may connect the second through-via TSV2 not overlapping the driving part 100 and the driving part 100 .
[0118] The gate driving parts 610 and 620 may be electrically connected to the driving circuit part 400 of the driving part 100 and may receive a timing control signal. Unlike the first through hole TSV1 and the first routing wiring RM1, the second through hole TSV2 and the second routing wiring RM2 may not be positioned to correspond to the scan line GL one-to-one. In one or more embodiments, the number of the second through holes TSV2 and the number of the second routing wiring RM2 may be less than the number of the first through holes TSV1 and the number of the first routing wiring RM1.
[0119] The third routing wiring RM3 may be connected to the second pad PD2 in the display part 200 and the first pad PD1 in the driving part 100. The third routing wiring RM3 may be located in a third through hole TSV3 formed in the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The third through hole TSV3 is arranged to overlap with the second pad PD2 and the circuit board 300 in the second pad area PDA2, and a portion of the third routing wiring RM3 may be located in the connection wiring layer 500 and may overlap with the driving part 100. The third routing wiring RM3 may be a wiring that transmits a signal applied from the circuit board 300 to the driving part 100.
[0120] Routing arrangements RM1, RM2 and RM3 may include Fig.12 and Fig.13 The connection wirings RML1, RML2 and RML3 located in the connection wiring layer 500 and Fig.12 and Fig.13 The conductive vias RVA1, RVA2, and RVA3 in the through-holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 in the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 are located. The routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 are wirings that electrically connect the layer above the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 and the layer below the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The arrangement and design of the through-holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 in the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 may vary according to the arrangement of the layers electrically connected to the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3.
[0121] The driving part 100 of the display device 10 may have a smaller area than the display part 200 and may partially overlap the display area DAA but not overlap the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 in the non-display area NA. Fig.12 and Fig.13 The connection wirings RML1, RML2 and RML3 are partially overlapped, and the connection wirings RML1, RML2 and RML3 are connected to the conductive vias RVA1, RVA2 and RVA3 in the through holes TSV1, TSV2 and TSV3. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , the driving part 100 may partially overlap the data routing wiring GDL and the control routing wiring TCL.
[0122] The display device 10 may include a driving portion 100 and a display portion 200, the driving portion 100 and the display portion 200 including different single crystal semiconductor substrates (e.g., a first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 and a second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210), and may further include routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3, the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 connecting the driving portion 100 and the display portion 200, and may define through-holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 in which the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 are positioned. The through-holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 are positioned to penetrate the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 of the display portion 200, thereby allowing corresponding diameters and spacings (e.g., predetermined diameters and spacings). The driving circuit part 400, the gate driving parts 610 and 620, and the data driving part 700 can be appropriately distributed between the driving part 100 and the display part 200, so that the number of routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 connecting the driving circuit part 400, the gate driving parts 610 and 620, and the data driving part 700 can be reduced or minimized. The number of through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 can be reduced so that the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 can all be accommodated in the non-display area NA of the display part 200, thereby reducing or minimizing the area occupied by the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3. Although the area of the non-display area NA in the display device 10 is limited, the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 can still be arranged with sufficient diameter and spacing due to their reduced number. Therefore, the potential interference between the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 in the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 can be reduced.
[0123] The structures of the driving circuit layer 120 of the driving section 100 and the display element layer 230 of the display section 200 will be described below.
[0124] Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a driving portion according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0125] Reference Fig. 9 The driving part 100 may include a first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 , and a driving circuit layer 120 located on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 . Fig. 9 The cross-sectional structure of the data driving unit 700 located in the circuit unit of the driving unit 100 is shown.
[0126] The first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may be a Si, Ge or SiGe substrate. The first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may be a substrate doped with a first type of impurity. A plurality of well regions WA may be located on the top surface of the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110. The well region WA may be a region doped with a second type of impurity. The second type of impurity may be different from the first type of impurity. For example, if the first type of impurity is a P-type impurity, the second type of impurity may be an N-type impurity. Alternatively, if the first type of impurity is an N-type impurity, the second type of impurity may be a P-type impurity.
[0127] Each of the well areas WA may include a source area SA corresponding to a source electrode of the first transistor PTR1 , a drain area DA corresponding to a drain electrode of the first transistor PTR1 , and a channel area CH located between the source area SA and the drain area DA.
[0128] The bottom insulating film BINS may be located between the gate electrode GE of the first transistor PTR1 and the well area WA. The side insulating film SINS may be located on the side of each of the gate electrodes GE. The side insulating film SINS may be located on the bottom insulating film BINS.
[0129] The source region SA and the drain region DA may be doped with first type impurities. The gate electrode of the first transistor PTR1 may overlap the well region WA in the third direction DR3. The channel region CH may overlap the gate electrode GE in the third direction DR3. The source region SA may be located on a side of the gate electrode GE, and the drain region DA may be located on the other side of the gate electrode GE.
[0130] The well area WA may further include a first low-doped impurity area LDD1 and a second low-doped impurity area LDD2, the first low-doped impurity area LDD1 being located between the channel area CH and the source area SA, and the second low-doped impurity area LDD2 being located between the channel area CH and the drain area DA. The first low-doped impurity area LDD1 may be a region having a lower impurity concentration than the source area SA due to the bottom insulating film BINS. Similarly, the second low-doped impurity area LDD2 may be a region having a lower impurity concentration than the drain area DA also due to the bottom insulating film BINS. Due to the first low-doped impurity area LDD1 and the second low-doped impurity area LDD2, the distance between the source area SA and the drain area DA may be increased. Therefore, as the length of the channel area CH of the first transistor PTR1 increases, punch-through and hot carrier phenomena that may be caused by a short channel may be reduced or prevented.
[0131] The first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may include a plurality of first transistors PTR1 forming circuit elements in the driving part 100. The first transistors PTR1 formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may form the driving circuit part 400 or the data driving part 700.

A plurality of well regions WA may be located on the top surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The well regions WA may be doped with second type impurities. The second type impurities may be different from the first type impurities. For example, if the first type impurity is a P-type impurity, the second type impurity may be an N-type impurity. Alternatively, if the first type impurity is an N-type impurity, the second type impurity may be a P-type impurity.
[0167] The second single crystalline semiconductor substrate 210 may include a plurality of second transistors PTR2 similar to the first single crystalline semiconductor substrate 110. The structure of the second transistor PTR2 may be the same as that of the first transistor PTR1, and thus, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0168] The first wafer substrate on which the first transistor PTR1 located on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 of the driving part 100 is formed may be different from the second wafer substrate on which the second transistor PTR2 located on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 of the display part 200 is formed. The size and line width of the first transistor PTR1 formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may be different from the size and line width of the second transistor PTR2 formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210.
[0169] For example, the minimum line width of the first transistor PTR1 formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 may be smaller than the minimum line width of the second transistor PTR2 formed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The semiconductor process performed on the first wafer substrate for forming the first transistor PTR1 may have a higher resolution than the semiconductor process performed on the second wafer substrate for forming the second transistor PTR2. As a result, a device (such as a transistor) that is smaller than that on the second wafer substrate may be formed on the first wafer substrate. In other words, the semiconductor process performed on the first wafer substrate may be finer than the semiconductor process performed on the second wafer substrate.
[0170] As described above, the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 of the driving part 100 may have a smaller plane area than the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 of the display part 200, and small-sized devices may be arranged on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 with a high integration density, thereby reducing power consumption and improving yield. On the other hand, the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 of the display part 200 may have a larger plane area than the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, and a process with a relatively larger line width may be performed on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The second transistor PTR2 forming the pixel circuit may be formed over a larger area on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 than formed on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, and a high integration density may not be required. Therefore, the semiconductor process performed may be performed as a high-cost process with a relatively small line width on the first wafer substrate, and may be performed as a low-cost process with a relatively large line width on the second wafer substrate.
[0171] The length of the channel region CH of the first transistor PTR1 may be different from the length of the channel region CH of the second transistor PTR2. For example, the minimum line width of the first transistor PTR1 or the length of the channel region CH of the first transistor PTR1 may be smaller than the minimum line width of the second transistor PTR2 or the length of the channel region CH of the second transistor PTR2. The minimum line width of the first transistor PTR1 or the length of the channel region CH of the first transistor PTR1 may be 100 nm or less or in the range of about 2 nm to about 80 nm. The minimum line width of the second transistor PTR2 or the length of the channel region CH of the second transistor PTR2 may be about 100 nm or more or in the range of about 100 nm to about 5 μm.
[0172] The second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 may include through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3. The through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 penetrate from the top surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 to the bottom surface, and may also penetrate the third semiconductor insulating layer SINS3 and the fourth semiconductor insulating layer SINS4 and the third interlayer insulating layer INS3, the fourth interlayer insulating layer INS4, and the fifth interlayer insulating layer INS5 located on the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The conductive vias RVA1, RVA2, and RVA3 of the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 may be located in the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3. The through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 may form a connection path of the routing wirings RM1, RM2, and RM3 for electrically connecting the driving part 100 with the pixel circuit part 220 of the display part 200 and the second pad PD2. In some embodiments, the through holes TSV1, TSV2, and TSV3 in the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 may be formed by a through silicon via (TSV) process that penetrates a wafer substrate to form a hole. Through the through holes TSV1 , TSV2 , and TSV3 formed in the second single crystalline semiconductor substrate 210 , the display element layer 230 and the driving part 100 may be electrically connected to each other through the routing wires RM1 , RM2 , and RM3 without separate wires.
[0173] The second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 may be thinned after bonding the driving part 100 to the Si wafer substrate, and thus may be thinner than the wafer substrate on which the process of forming the conductive layer is performed. In some embodiments, the thickness of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210 may be less than about 100 μm, for example, in the range of about 80 μm to about 100 μm.

The third to seventh interlayer insulating layers INS3, INS4, INS5, INS6, and INS7 may be formed as SiCN-based or SiO-based. x The third to seventh interlayer insulating layers INS3, INS4, INS5, INS6, and INS7 are shown as a single layer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The third to seventh interlayer insulating layers INS3, INS4, INS5, INS6, and INS7 may have a structure in which one or more layers are stacked on each other, and may be located between a plurality of conductive layers ML1, ML2, ML3, ML4, ML5, ML6, ML7, and ML8 to be described later.
[0180] The routing conductive layer RMT may include a structure similar to the conductive layers ML1, ML2, ML3, ML4, ML5, ML6, ML7 and ML8 and the vias VA1, VA2, VA3, VA4, VA5, VA6, VA7 and VA8 in the driving circuit layer 120. The routing conductive layer RMT may include one or more conductive layers and vias located between the conductive layers and connectors or terminals DTD and GTD formed in the display portion 200. For example, the routing conductive layer RMT located in the display area DAA of the pixel circuit portion 220 may be electrically connected to the second transistor PTR2. The routing conductive layer RMT may be connected to the second transistor PTR2 and may be formed as shown in FIG. Figure 6 The pixel circuit shown in . The routing conductive layer RMT can be used as a connection wiring that connects the second transistor PTR2 to the circuit component. In addition, in one or more embodiments, some of the routing conductive layer RMT located in the display area DAA of the pixel circuit portion 220 can be used as a scan line GL, a data line DL, or a connection wiring that forms the gate driving portions 610 and 620.

[0185] The display portion 200 of the display device 10 may include a first through hole TSV1, a second through hole TSV2, and a third through hole TSV3, each of which penetrates the second single crystalline semiconductor substrate 210. The first through hole TSV1, the second through hole TSV2, and the third through hole TSV3 may all be located in the non-display area NA. As described above, the first through hole TSV1 and the third through hole TSV3 may be located in the pad area PDA of the display portion 200, and the second through hole TSV2 may be located in the non-display area NA to overlap with the gate driving portions 610 and 620.
[0186] The first routing wiring RM1 connecting the data terminal DTD and the driving circuit layer 120 of the driving unit 100 may be located in the first through hole TSV1, and the data terminal DTD is connected to the data line DL. The first through hole TSV1 may penetrate the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, the third semiconductor insulating layer SINS3 and the fourth semiconductor insulating layer SINS4, and the third interlayer insulating layer INS3, the fourth interlayer insulating layer INS4, and the fifth interlayer insulating layer INS5 from the bottom surface of the data terminal DTD to the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210.

The second through hole TSV2 may penetrate the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, the third semiconductor insulating layer SINS3 and the fourth semiconductor insulating layer SINS4, and the third interlayer insulating layer INS3, the fourth interlayer insulating layer INS4 and the fifth interlayer insulating layer INS5 from the bottom surface of the gate terminal GTD to the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The second conductive via RVA2 may be positioned from the bottom surface of the gate terminal GTD to the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and may be connected thereby to the gate terminal GTD and the second connection wiring RML2. The second connection wiring RML2 may be Figure 8 The control routing wiring TCL.
[0188] lie in Fig.12 The through hole and the conductive via in the non-display area NA may be the first through hole TSV1 or the second through hole TSV2 and the first conductive via RVA1 or the second conductive via RVA2, respectively. Fig.12 The terminal depicted in may be a data terminal DTD or a gate terminal GTD. The first and second routing wirings RM1 and RM2 and the first and second through vias TSV1 and TSV2 may have similar cross-sectional structures and may differ only in their placement, number, and connectivity.
[0189] The third routing wiring RM3 that can connect the second pad PD2 in the pad area PDA of the display part 200 with the first pad PD1 of the driving part 100 can be located in the third through hole TSV3. The third through hole TSV3 can penetrate the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, the third semiconductor insulating layer SINS3 and the fourth semiconductor insulating layer SINS4, and the third interlayer insulating layer INS3, the fourth interlayer insulating layer INS4, and the fifth interlayer insulating layer INS5 from the bottom surface of the second pad PD2 to the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210. The third conductive via RVA3 can be located from the bottom surface of the second pad PD2 to the bottom surface of the second single crystal semiconductor substrate 210, and can be connected to the second pad PD2 and the third connection wiring RML3 thereby.
[0190] By forming the circuit part in the driving part 100 using a high-cost, fine semiconductor process, a high integration density can be achieved on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110, which has a relatively small area. The manufacture of the driving part 100 can produce a high output per wafer substrate, and the circuit components (e.g., the first transistor) can have a small size, thereby reducing power consumption. In addition, by placing pixel circuits, some circuit components and wiring for emission of the light-emitting element on the display part 200, the excessive integration density on the first single crystal semiconductor substrate 110 can be alleviated. In addition, by improving or optimizing the number of through-holes TSV1, TSV2 and TSV3 where the routing wiring RM1, RM2 and RM3 are located, the space suitable for placing through-holes TSV1, TSV2 and TSV3 with corresponding diameter and spacing designs can be reduced or minimized.
[0191] The reflective electrode layer RL may be located on the seventh interlayer insulating layer INS7. The reflective electrode layer RL may include one or more reflective electrodes RL1, RL2, RL3, and RL4. Fig.12 The reflective electrode layer RL may include a first reflective electrode RL1, a second reflective electrode RL2, a third reflective electrode RL3, and a fourth reflective electrode RL4.
[0192] The first reflective electrode RL1 may be located on the seventh interlayer insulating layer INS7 and may be connected to a via hole penetrating the seventh interlayer insulating layer INS7. The first reflective electrode RL1 may be formed of Cu, Al, W, Mo, Cr, Au, Ti, Ni, Nd, or an alloy thereof. For example, the first reflective electrode RL1 may include titanium nitride (TiN).
[0193] The second reflective electrode RL2 may be located on the first reflective electrode RL1. The second reflective electrode RL2 may be formed of Cu, Al, W, Mo, Cr, Au, Ti, Ni, Nd, or an alloy thereof. For example, the second reflective electrode RL2 may include Al.
[0194] The third reflective electrode RL3 may be located on the second reflective electrode RL2. The third reflective electrode RL3 may be formed of Cu, Al, W, Mo, Cr, Au, Ti, Ni, Nd, or an alloy thereof. For example, the third reflective electrode RL3 may include TiN.
[0195] The fourth reflective electrode RL4 may be located on the third reflective electrode RL3. The fourth reflective electrode RL4 may be formed of Cu, Al, W, Mo, Cr, Au, Ti, Ni, Nd, or an alloy thereof. For example, the fourth reflective electrode RL4 may include Ti.
[0196] The thickness of the fourth reflective electrode RL4, which is an electrode that substantially reflects light from the light emitting element, may be greater than the thickness of the first reflective electrode RL1, the second reflective electrode RL2, and the third reflective electrode RL3. For example, the thickness of the first reflective electrode RL1, the second reflective electrode RL2, and the third reflective electrode RL3 may be approximately 100Å, and the thickness of the fourth reflective electrode RL4 may be approximately 850Å.
[0197] The eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 may be located on the seventh interlayer insulating layer INS7. The eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 may be located between adjacent portions of the reflective electrode layer RL. The eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 may also be located on the reflective electrode layer RL in the first sub-pixel SP1. The eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 may be formed based on SiO x The present invention further includes an inorganic film, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0198] The ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 may be located on the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 and the reflective electrode layer RL. The ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 may be formed based on SiO x The present invention further includes an inorganic film, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0199] In the first subpixel SP1 , the second subpixel SP2 , and / or the third subpixel SP3 , the eighth and ninth interlayer insulating layers INS8 and INS9 may not be located under the first electrode AND in consideration of a resonance distance of light emitted from the light emitting element.
[0200] For example, the first electrode AND of the third subpixel SP3 may be directly located on the fourth reflective electrode RL4 and may not overlap the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 and the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9. The first electrode AND of the second subpixel SP2 may be located on the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9, and the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 may be directly located on the fourth reflective electrode RL4. Therefore, the first electrode AND of the second subpixel SP2 may not overlap the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8. The first electrode AND of the first subpixel SP1 may be located on the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 and may overlap the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8.
[0201] In one or more embodiments, the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL may be different among the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the third sub-pixel SP3. According to the main wavelength of light emitted from each of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3, the presence or absence of the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 and the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 in each of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may be determined to adjust the distance from the reflective electrode layer RL to the second electrode CAT. For example, Fig.12As shown in , the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the first sub-pixel SP1 may be greater than the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the second sub-pixel SP2 and greater than the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the third sub-pixel SP3, and the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the second sub-pixel SP2 may be greater than the distance between the first electrode AND and the reflective electrode layer RL in the third sub-pixel SP3. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The distances between the first electrodes AND and the reflective electrode layer RL of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3 may be varied and designed differently.
[0202] Fig.12 The presence of the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 and the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 is shown, and the tenth interlayer insulating layer may be further located under the first electrodes AND of the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3. In this case, the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 and the tenth interlayer insulating layer may both be located under the first electrode AND of the second sub-pixel SP2, and the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8, the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9, and the tenth interlayer insulating layer may be located under the first electrode AND of the first sub-pixel SP1.
[0203] The electrode via hole VAP may be connected to the fourth reflective electrode RL4 exposed through the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 and / or the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 in the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2. The electrode via hole VAP may be formed of Cu, Al, W, Mo, Cr, Au, Ti, Ni, Nd, or an alloy thereof. The thickness of the electrode via hole VAP in the second subpixel SP2 may be smaller than the thickness of the electrode via hole VAP in the first subpixel SP1.
[0204] The display element layer 230 may be located on the emitter backplane EBP. The display element layer 230 may include a light emitting element layer EML, an encapsulation layer TFE, an optical layer OPL, and a cover layer DCL. The display element layer 230 may include a light emitting element electrically connected to the pixel circuit part 220 and the driving part 100 to emit light.
[0205] The light emitting element layer EML may be on the reflective electrode layer RL and the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9. The light emitting element layer EML may include a light emitting element, a pixel defining layer PDL, and a trench TRC, and the light emitting element may include a first electrode AND, a light emitting stack IL, and a second electrode CAT.
[0206] The first electrode AND of the light emitting element may be located on the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 or the reflective electrode layer RL, and may be connected to the electrode via VAP. The first electrode AND of the light emitting element may be connected to the second transistor PTR2 through the electrode via VAP, the first reflective electrode RL1, the second reflective electrode RL2, the third reflective electrode RL3, the fourth reflective electrode RL4, the routing conductive layer RMT, and the contact electrode CTE. The first electrode AND of the light emitting element may be formed of Cu, Al, W, Mo, Cr, Au, Ti, Ni, Nd, or an alloy thereof. For example, the first electrode AND of the light emitting element may include TiN.
[0207] The pixel defining film PDL may be located on a portion of the first electrode AND of the light emitting element. The pixel defining film PDL may cover an edge of the first electrode AND of the light emitting element. The pixel defining film PDL may define and separate the first light emitting area EA1, the second light emitting area EA2, and the third light emitting area EA3.
[0208] The first light emitting area EA1 may be defined as an area where the first electrode AND, the light emitting stack IL, and the second electrode CAT in the first sub-pixel SP1 are sequentially stacked to emit light. The second light emitting area EA2 may be defined as an area where the first electrode AND, the light emitting stack IL, and the second electrode CAT in the second sub-pixel SP2 are sequentially stacked to emit light. The third light emitting area EA3 may be defined as an area where the first electrode AND, the light emitting stack IL, and the second electrode CAT in the third sub-pixel SP3 are sequentially stacked to emit light.
[0209] The pixel definition film PDL may include a first pixel definition film PDL1, a second pixel definition film PDL2, and a third pixel definition film PDL3. The first pixel definition film PDL1 may be located on the edge of the first electrode AND of the light emitting element, the second pixel definition film PDL2 may be located on the first pixel definition film PDL1, and the third pixel definition film PDL3 may be located on the second pixel definition film PDL2. The first pixel definition film PDL1, the second pixel definition film PDL2, and the third pixel definition film PDL3 may be formed based on SiO x The thickness of the first pixel defining film PDL1, the second pixel defining film PDL2, and the third pixel defining film PDL3 may be approximately 500Å.
[0210] If a single pixel defining film PDL is formed instead of the first pixel defining film PDL1, the second pixel defining film PDL2, and the third pixel defining film PDL3, the single pixel defining film PDL may become too high, possibly causing discontinuity in the first inorganic encapsulation layer TFE1 due to step coverage. Step coverage may refer to the ratio of the thickness of a film applied on a flat surface to the thickness of a film applied on an inclined surface, and lower step coverage may mean a higher possibility of the film being disconnected on the inclined surface.
[0211] In order to reduce or prevent the possibility of discontinuity in the first inorganic encapsulation layer TFE1 due to step coverage, the first pixel defining film PDL1, the second pixel defining film PDL2, and the third pixel defining film PDL3 may have a step-shaped cross-sectional structure. For example, the width of the first pixel defining film PDL1 may be greater than the widths of the second pixel defining film PDL2 and the third pixel defining film PDL3, and the width of the second pixel defining film PDL2 may be greater than the width of the third pixel defining film PDL3. The width of the first pixel defining film PDL1 refers to the length of the first pixel defining film PDL1 in the horizontal direction (e.g., the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2).
[0212] The trench TRC may penetrate the first pixel defining film PDL1 , the second pixel defining film PDL2 , and the third pixel defining film PDL3 . In the trench TRC, the eighth interlayer insulating layer INS8 may be partially recessed, and the ninth interlayer insulating layer INS9 may be completely penetrated.
[0213] One or more trenches TRC may be located between the sub-pixels SP1 , SP2 , and SP3 . Fig.12 and Fig.13 It is shown that two trenches TRC are located between the sub-pixels SP1 , SP2 , and SP3 , but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0214] The light emitting stack IL may include a plurality of intermediate layers. The light emitting stack IL may have a 3-series structure having a first intermediate layer IL1, a second intermediate layer IL2, and a third intermediate layer IL3, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the light emitting stack IL may have a 2-series structure having two intermediate layers.
[0215] The light emitting stack IL may have a 3-series structure having a plurality of intermediate layers for emitting light of different colors. For example, the light emitting stack IL may include a first intermediate layer IL1 emitting a first color light, a second intermediate layer IL2 emitting a third color light, and a third intermediate layer IL3 emitting a second color light. The first intermediate layer IL1, the second intermediate layer IL2, and the third intermediate layer IL3 may be sequentially stacked.
[0216] The first intermediate layer IL1 may have a structure in which a first hole transport layer, a first organic light emitting layer for emitting a first color light, and a first electron transport layer are sequentially stacked. The second intermediate layer IL2 may have a structure in which a second hole transport layer, a second organic light emitting layer for emitting a third color light, and a second electron transport layer are sequentially stacked. The third intermediate layer IL3 may have a structure in which a third hole transport layer, a third organic light emitting layer for emitting a second color light, and a third electron transport layer are sequentially stacked.
[0217] A first charge generation layer for supplying charges to the second intermediate layer IL2 and electrons to the first intermediate layer IL1 may be located between the first intermediate layer IL1 and the second intermediate layer IL2. The first charge generation layer may include an N-type charge generation layer that supplies electrons to the first intermediate layer IL1, and may include a P-type charge generation layer that supplies holes to the second intermediate layer IL2. The N-type charge generation layer may include a dopant of a metal material.
[0218] The second charge generation layer for supplying charges to the third intermediate layer IL3 and for supplying electrons to the second intermediate layer IL2 may be located between the second intermediate layer IL2 and the third intermediate layer IL3. The second charge generation layer may include an N-type charge generation layer for supplying electrons to the second intermediate layer IL2, and may include a P-type charge generation layer for supplying holes to the third intermediate layer IL3.
[0219] The first intermediate layer IL1 may be located on the first electrode AND and the pixel defining film PDL, and may be placed at the bottom surface of the groove TRC. Due to the groove TRC, the first intermediate layer IL1 may be disconnected between the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3. The second intermediate layer IL2 may be located on the first intermediate layer IL1. Due to the groove TRC, the second intermediate layer IL2 may be disconnected between the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3. The cavity or empty space ESS may be located between the first intermediate layer IL1 and the second intermediate layer IL2. The third intermediate layer IL3 may be located on the second intermediate layer IL2. The third intermediate layer IL3 may not be disconnected by the groove TRC, and may be positioned to cover the second intermediate layer IL2 in the groove TRC. That is, in the 3-series structure, the groove TRC may be used as a structure for disconnecting the first intermediate layer IL1 and the second intermediate layer IL2 of the light-emitting element layer EML between the sub-pixels SP1, SP2, and SP3, and the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer, and in the 2-series structure, the groove TRC may be used as a structure for disconnecting the lower intermediate layer and the charge generation layer located between the lower intermediate layer and the upper intermediate layer.
[0220] In order to reliably disconnect the first intermediate layer IL1 and the second intermediate layer IL2 of the light emitting element layer EML between the sub-pixels SP1, SP2 and SP3, the height of the groove TRC may be greater than the height of the pixel defining film PDL.
