DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0092] In LED display products, three single-core monochrome single-sub-pixel chips are usually used to form a pixel unit. The size of a single chip in ultra-high-density display products represented by micro LED is relatively small, and the number of chips that make up the display product is relatively large. In the manufacturing process of display products, micro LED chips need to be grown on wafers, and then transferred to a specific substrate through mass transfer technology to complete the binding assembly. In the mass transfer process, due to the small size and large number of chips, the transfer operation is difficult, the number of operations is numerous, and the operation alignment requirements on the substrate are high. As a result, the manufacturing process of micro LED display products is difficult, the yield is low, the production cycle is long, and the cost is high.
[0093] In related technologies, in LED display products, several chips are packaged together through the MIP (Micro LED in Package) packaging process to form an integrated chipset that can emit multiple wavelengths. The traditional MIP packaging process is suitable for LED display products with pixel sizes greater than 0.3 mm. Due to the limitations of existing mass transfer technology capabilities, the MIP packaging process requires that the single-core monochrome single-sub-pixel chip used must be larger, that is, the sub-pixel size is larger. A single chipset is usually an RGB pixel unit, and there are a large number of chips and chipsets used on the application side.
[0094] The light-emitting diode chip, chip set, and display module provided by the present application. In the light-emitting diode chip, a light-emitting layer is disposed between an N-type electrode and a P-type electrode and electrically connected to both of them, so that electrons provided by the N-type electrode and holes provided by the P-type electrode combine in the light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting material in the light-emitting layer is excited to emit light. There is a first light-emitting layer with a first emission wavelength and a second light-emitting layer with a second emission wavelength, and the first emission wavelength is less than the second emission wavelength. In the stacked first light-emitting layer and at least a part of the second light-emitting layer, the first light-emitting layer is located on the side of the second light-emitting layer closer to the P-type electrode, and the light emitted by the first light-emitting layer is used to excite the second light-emitting layer to emit light, so that the light-emitting diode chip of the present application has both electroluminescence and photoluminescence mechanisms. The present application adopts an arrangement method of single-core dual-color multi-subpixels, that is, at least two subpixels are used to form a pixel subgroup, and full-color pixel units are formed by arranging the pixel subgroups, so as to form a full-color chip set. The present application can flexibly adjust the sizes of the light-emitting diode chip and the full-color chip set, reduce the difficulty of transfer operations in the mass transfer process, and can reduce the number of mass transfers, thereby overcoming problems such as process, yield, and cost in ultra-high-density pixel display products represented by mass transfer.
[0095] Compared with the integrated chip set that emits multiple wavelengths formed by integrating several chips in the related art, the related art needs to overcome the process difficulties of integrating multiple chips, so the process difficulty is relatively large, the yield is relatively low, and the cost is relatively high. The present application directly obtains dual-color multi-subpixels in a single light-emitting diode chip, the process is simpler, the technical difficulty is smaller, and the cost is lower.
[0096] Furthermore, by using the light-emitting diode chip with single-core dual-color multi-subpixels of the present application to form a light-emitting diode chip set, under the condition of the same light-emitting area and the same pixel density (Pixels Per Inch, abbreviated as PPI), it is possible to flexibly adjust the size of the light-emitting diode chip while ensuring that the subpixel size is relatively small, and at the same time, the number of light-emitting diode chips is greatly reduced, so as to overcome problems such as relatively large preparation process difficulty, relatively low product yield, and relatively high preparation cost, which helps to promote the mass production of mini LED and micro LED as soon as possible.
[0097] When the light-emitting diode chip with single-core dual-color multi-subpixels of the present application is used to form a full-color integrated chip set (for example, taking three 2*n combined chips to form a chip set as an example), n*2 pixel units can be obtained. When combined with the backplane, the chip set used is 1 / 2n of the traditional MIP package, which greatly reduces the preparation time, reduces the process and raw material costs, and at the same time greatly improves the yield. Furthermore, the pixel size applicable to the full-color integrated package of the present application can be flexibly adjusted and can be much smaller than the pixel size applicable to the traditional MIP process.

Or, the first sub - pixel is an ultraviolet - photon sub - pixel and the second sub - pixel is a blue - photon sub - pixel (i.e., UVA + B), as Figure 31 and Figure 32 shown.
[0119] In the embodiments of the present application, taking the first emission wavelength as the blue - light wavelength, the first light - emitting layer as the blue - light - emitting material layer, the first sub - pixel as the blue - photon sub - pixel (B), the second emission wavelength as the green - light wavelength, the second light - emitting layer as the green - light - emitting material layer, and the second sub - pixel as the green - photon sub - pixel (G) as an example, the following description is given.
[0120] In this application, a light-emitting diode chip is formed by combining two sub-pixels with different emission wavelengths, that is, a single-core dual-color multi-sub-pixel arrangement is adopted. Compared with the related art that uses a single sub-pixel to form a chip, this application can flexibly adjust the size of the light-emitting diode chip, reduce the transfer difficulty and alignment difficulty in the mass transfer operation. Moreover, it can effectively reduce the number of light-emitting diode chips required for display products with the same light-emitting area and the same pixel density, thereby reducing the complexity of the mass transfer operation and the manufacturing cost. In this way, the yield of products with ultra-high density pixel display can also be improved.
[0121] Next, the structure and light-emitting mechanism of the light-emitting diode chip according to the embodiments of this application will be described.
[0122] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, for the light-emitting diode chip of the first structure, the entire first light-emitting layer 119a and the entire second light-emitting layer 119b are stacked; the surface of the first light-emitting layer 119a facing away from the second light-emitting layer 119b is electrically connected to the P-type electrode, and the surface of the second light-emitting layer 119b facing away from the first light-emitting layer 119a is electrically connected to the N-type electrode.
[0123] The first light-emitting layer 119a includes a first region and a second region arranged side by side and spaced apart, and the second light-emitting layer 119b includes a third region and a fourth region arranged side by side and spaced apart; the first region and the third region are opposite to each other and are used to form a first sub-pixel, and the second region and the fourth region are opposite to each other and are used to form a second sub-pixel.
[0124] It should be noted that the first region and the second region of the first light-emitting layer 119a can be two regions arranged side by side along the thickness direction perpendicular to the light-emitting diode chip. The same applies to the third region and the fourth region. For example, Figure 2 in the first region can be the part of the first light-emitting layer 119a close to the left side, the second region can be the part of the first light-emitting layer 119a close to the right side, the third region can be the part of the second light-emitting layer 119b close to the left side, and the fourth region can be the part of the second light-emitting layer 119b close to the right side. In other embodiments, the positions of the first region and the second region can be interchanged, and the positions of the third region and the fourth region can also be interchanged.
[0125] In this application, "side by side" or "side-by-side arrangement" can mean that the two are corresponding to each other along the thickness direction perpendicular to the light-emitting diode chip, that is, the two are at the same thickness position of the light-emitting diode chip; it can also mean that the two are on the same layer of the light-emitting diode chip, and the two are misaligned in the thickness direction of the light-emitting diode chip can also be considered side by side or side-by-side arrangement.
[0126] The light-emitting diode chip of this embodiment further includes a first filter layer CF1 and a second filter layer CF2 arranged side by side. The first filter layer CF1 corresponds to the first region, and the second filter layer CF2 corresponds to the second region. Both the first filter layer CF1 and the second filter layer CF2 are located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode. The passing wavelength of the first filter layer CF1 is the first emission wavelength, and the passing wavelength of the second filter layer CF2 is the second emission wavelength.
[0127] The passing wavelength of the first filter layer CF1 is the first emission wavelength, that is, among the light rays emitted by the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b, only the light rays with the first emission wavelength can pass through the first filter layer CF1. Similarly, only the light rays with the second emission wavelength can pass through the second filter layer CF2. In this way, the light-emitting diode chip can emit light rays with two different wavelengths.
[0128] It should be noted that the filter layer can be a color filter, or a Bragg reflector (or, distributed Bragg reflector, abbreviated as DBR). The Bragg reflector can also filter the wavelength of the passing light rays, so as to emit light rays with different wavelengths. The Bragg reflector can be alternately stacked with two materials of aluminum nitride and gallium nitride, or alternately stacked with two materials of titanium oxide and silicon oxide, or alternately stacked with two materials of silicon oxide and silicon nitride. Optionally, the thickness of the Bragg reflector is 2-6 micrometers. In other embodiments, this thickness value can be adjusted as needed, and this application does not limit it.
[0129] Combined with Figure 9 As shown, the light-emitting diode chip of this embodiment further includes a reflective layer 107, and the reflective layer 107 is located on the backlight side of the light-emitting diode chip. The reflective layer 107 is arranged on the backlight side, which can ensure that the light rays are emitted from the light-emitting side. Figure 9 The reflective layer 107 shown in [reference] is located on the side of the P-type electrode facing away from the N-type electrode, and the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode forms the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip. The reflective layer 107 can be a metal layer or a Bragg reflector. The above-mentioned first filter layer CF1 and second filter layer CF2 are arranged on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode.
[0130] Continue to refer to Figure 9As shown, the light-emitting diode chip of this embodiment further includes a light-blocking layer 118. The light-blocking layer 118 is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip and between two adjacent sub-pixels. Based on the fact that the reflective layer 107 is disposed on the side of the P-type electrode facing away from the N-type electrode, the light-emitting side is restricted to the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode. Therefore, the light-blocking layer 118 in this embodiment is located on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode. The light-blocking layer 118 can be made of a black resin material and has the function of absorbing and blocking light. The light-blocking layer 118 is located between two adjacent sub-pixels, that is, it can be located between the positions corresponding to the first region and the second region, or between the positions corresponding to the third region and the fourth region. In this way, the problem of light mixing between two sub-pixels can be avoided, and the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode chip can be ensured.
[0131] Based on the fact that the light-blocking layer 118, the first light-filtering layer CF1, and the second light-filtering layer CF2 are all disposed on the light-emitting side, the light-blocking layer 118 can be located between the first light-filtering layer CF1 and the second light-filtering layer CF2. In this way, both the light-filtering and light-blocking effects can be ensured, and the structural regularity of the light-emitting diode chip can also be ensured.
[0132] Continue to refer to Figure 9 As shown, the light-emitting diode chip of this embodiment further includes a hole-blocking layer 117. The hole-blocking layer 117 is disposed between any two adjacent layers of the stacked first light-emitting layer 119a, second light-emitting layer 119b, and third light-emitting layer 119c. The hole-blocking layer 117 can block the passage of holes, but allows electrons to pass through. The material of the hole-blocking layer 117 can be gallium nitride doped with silicon. The sum of the thicknesses of the hole-blocking layer 117 and the first light-emitting layer 119a can be greater than the diffusion length of holes, so that holes can be prevented from migrating to the second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0133] Refer to Figure 9 As shown, during the operation of the light-emitting diode chip, after the N-type electrode is energized, electrons can be provided, and after the P-type electrode is energized, holes can be provided. Among them, holes and electrons can migrate to the position where the first light-emitting layer 119a is located. After the holes and electrons recombine, light with a first emission wavelength can be emitted. Due to the presence of the hole-blocking layer 117, holes will not migrate to the position where the first light-emitting layer 119a is located. The light-emitting mechanism of the first light-emitting layer 119a is electroluminescence. The light with the first emission wavelength emitted by the first light-emitting layer 119a can excite the second light-emitting layer 119b to emit light, and the light-emitting mechanism of the second light-emitting layer 119b is photoluminescence. In summary, the light-emitting mechanism of the light-emitting diode chip with the first structure is a hybrid mechanism of electroluminescence and photoluminescence.
[0134] It should be noted that the reflective layer 107, the light-blocking layer 118, and the hole-blocking layer 117 in the light-emitting diode chip of the first structure can all be applied to the light-emitting diode chips of the following other structures, and are similar in structure and function to those in the light-emitting diode chip of the first structure, and will not be elaborated hereinafter.
[0135] In some other embodiments, during the operation of the light-emitting diode chip, after the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are energized, holes and electrons can migrate to the position where the first light-emitting layer 119a is located. After the holes and electrons recombine, light with a first emission wavelength can be emitted. When no hole-blocking layer 117 is provided between the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b, and the thickness of the first light-emitting layer 119a is small and the thickness of the second light-emitting layer 119b is large, holes will also reach the position where the second light-emitting layer 119b is located. After the holes and electrons recombine, light with a second emission wavelength can be emitted. At this time, the light-emitting mechanism of the second light-emitting layer 119b is a hybrid mechanism of electroluminescence and photoluminescence.
[0136] In the light-emitting diode chip of the first structure described above, an isolation structure can also be provided. The isolation structure is located between the first region and the second region, and between the third region and the fourth region. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the isolation structure can only include a channel (Channel, abbreviated as CN), that is, the channel may not be filled with an isolation material. The channel can spatially isolate the first region and the second region, or the third region and the fourth region. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the channel CN is filled with an electrically insulating isolation material, such as silicon nitride or silicon oxide, etc. In some embodiments, the electrically insulating isolation material can also have a light-shielding effect, such as a black organic material, etc. In this way, the mixing of light between the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can be reduced or avoided, and the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode chip can be improved. In some other embodiments, the isolation structure can also be an ion implantation layer, a structure with an electrical isolation effect and a light-blocking effect formed by an ion implantation process. In the following embodiments, the isolation structure is the same, and will not be elaborated hereinafter.
[0137] In Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 In the light-emitting diode chip shown, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel formed are synchronously driven. In other embodiments, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can also be independently driven. The light-emitting diode chip that can be independently driven will be described below.
[0138] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, as the structure of the second light-emitting diode chip, the P-type electrode includes a first P-type electrode and a second P-type electrode that are separated from each other. The first P-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the third region facing away from the N-type electrode, and the second P-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the fourth region facing away from the N-type electrode; the isolation structure is also located between the first P-type electrode and the second P-type electrode.
[0139] When the first P-type electrode and the N-type electrode are in the energized state, the first region and the third region can be independently driven to emit light. When the second P-type electrode and the N-type electrode are in the energized state, the second region and the fourth region can be independently driven to emit light. In this way, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can emit light separately.
[0140] Combined Figures 5 - 8 As shown in the figure, as the structures of the third and fourth light-emitting diode chips, the N-type electrode includes a first N-type electrode and a second N-type electrode that are separated from each other. The first N-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the third region facing away from the P-type electrode, and the second N-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the fourth region facing away from the P-type electrode; the isolation structure is also located between the first N-type electrode and the second N-type electrode.
[0141] When the first N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the first region and the third region can be independently driven to emit light. When the second N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the second region and the fourth region can be independently driven to emit light. In this way, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can emit light separately.
[0142] The light-emitting diode chip further includes an N-type semiconductor layer 103 and a P-type semiconductor layer 105. The N-type semiconductor and the P-type semiconductor are respectively located on opposite sides of the light-emitting layer in the thickness direction. The N-type electrode is electrically connected to the light-emitting layer through the N-type semiconductor, and the P-type electrode is electrically connected to the light-emitting layer through the P-type semiconductor; in the above-mentioned structure with a discrete N-type electrode and a separated P-type electrode, the isolation structure can also be set as follows.
[0143] Referring to Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the N-type electrode includes a first N-type electrode and a second N-type electrode that are separated from each other, at least part of the isolation structure extends into the P-type semiconductor layer 105. Alternatively, when the P-type electrode includes a first P-type electrode and a second P-type electrode that are separated from each other, at least part of the isolation structure extends into the N-type semiconductor layer 103 (not shown). In this way, both the process difficulty can be reduced and the isolation effect of the isolation structure on the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can be improved.
[0144] Referring to Figures 10 - 13As shown, in the light-emitting diode chip, the first light-emitting layer 119a includes a first region and a second region. The first region and at least a part of the thickness of the second region are arranged side by side between the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode; the first region is stacked with the second light-emitting layer 119b and is used to form a second sub-pixel; the second region is used to form a first sub-pixel.
[0145] The surface of the first region facing away from the second light-emitting layer 119b is electrically connected to the P-type electrode, the surface of the second light-emitting layer 119b facing away from the first region is electrically connected to the N-type electrode, and the second region is electrically connected to the P-type electrode and the N-type electrode respectively.
[0146] It should be noted that the first region and at least a part of the thickness of the second region are arranged side by side, and the first region and the second light-emitting layer 119b are stacked. When both the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the first region and the second region emit light through the recombination of electrons and holes, and the light-emitting mechanism of both is electroluminescence. The light emitted by the first region can stimulate the second light-emitting layer 119b stacked therewith to emit light, and the light-emitting mechanism of the second light-emitting layer 119b is photoluminescence.
[0147] In the above-mentioned light-emitting diode chip, a filter layer is further provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode. The filter layer corresponds to the first region, and the passing wavelength of the filter layer is the second emission wavelength. The filter layer can allow the light of the second emission wavelength to pass through. In this way, the second sub-pixel corresponding to the first region can emit light of the second emission wavelength, and the one corresponding to the second region directly emits light with the first emission wavelength.
[0148] Refer to Figure 13 As shown, a reflective layer 107 is further provided on the backlight side of the light-emitting diode chip. The reflective layer 107 is located on the side of the P-type electrode facing away from the N-type electrode, and the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode is the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0149] A light-blocking layer 118 is further provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip. The light-blocking layer 118 is located between two adjacent sub-pixels. The light-blocking layer 118 can avoid the problem of light mixing between the two sub-pixels and ensure the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode chip. Based on the fact that the filter layer is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, the light-blocking layer 118 can be arranged side by side with the filter layer.
[0150] A hole-blocking layer 117 is provided between the first region of the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b of the light-emitting diode chip. The sum of the thickness of the hole-blocking layer 117 and the first light-emitting layer 119a can be greater than the diffusion length of holes. In this way, the hole-blocking layer 117 can block the migration of holes into the second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0151] Refer to Figure 10As shown, as a first implementable embodiment, the first region and the second region with a partial thickness are arranged side by side, and the second light-emitting layer 119b is arranged side by side with another second region with a partial thickness.
[0152] In the above embodiment, the light-emitting diode chip further includes an isolation structure, which is located between the first region and the second region arranged side by side, and between the second light-emitting layer 119b and the second region arranged side by side. The isolation structure can form a structural and electrical isolation between the first region and the second region arranged side by side, and between the second light-emitting layer 119b and the second region arranged side by side, so as to ensure the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode. Among them, on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode, that is, on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, a second filter layer CF2 is provided, and the second filter layer CF2 is opposite to the second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0153] Refer to Figure 10 (a) As shown, in some other embodiments, the second filter layer CF2 may not be provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0154] Combined with Figure 12 As shown, as a second implementable embodiment, the first region and the second region with a full thickness are arranged side by side, and the second light-emitting layer 119b is arranged side by side with the N-type electrode with a partial thickness. The light-emitting diode chip further includes an isolation structure, which is located between the first region and the second region, and between the second light-emitting layer 119b and the N-type electrode arranged side by side. The isolation structure can form a structural and electrical isolation between the first region and the second region arranged side by side, and between the second light-emitting layer 119b and the N-type electrode arranged side by side, so as to ensure the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode.
[0155] The first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel formed by the above light-emitting diode chip can be driven synchronously. In other embodiments, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can also be driven independently. The light-emitting diode chip that can be independently driven will be described below.
[0156] Refer to Figure 11As shown, the P-type electrode includes a first P-type electrode and a second P-type electrode that are discrete from each other. The first P-type electrode electrically conducts the surface of the first region facing away from the N-type electrode, and the second P-type electrode electrically conducts the surface of the second region facing away from the N-type electrode; the isolation structure is also located between the first P-type electrode and the second P-type electrode. When the first P-type electrode and the N-type electrode are in the energized state, the first region and the second light-emitting layer 119b can be independently driven to emit light. When the second P-type electrode and the N-type electrode are in the energized state, the second region can be independently driven to emit light. In this way, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can emit light separately. Among them, on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode, that is, on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, a second filter layer CF2 is provided, and the second filter layer CF2 is opposite to the second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0157] Referring to Figure 11 (a) As shown, in some other embodiments, the second filter layer CF2 may not be provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0158] Referring to Figure 12 As shown, the N-type electrode includes a first N-type electrode and a second N-type electrode that are discrete from each other. The first N-type electrode electrically conducts the surface of the second light-emitting layer 119b facing away from the P-type electrode, and the second N-type electrode electrically conducts the surface of the second region facing away from the P-type electrode; the isolation structure is also located between the first N-type electrode and the second N-type electrode. When the first N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the first region and the second light-emitting layer 119b can be independently driven to emit light. When the second N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the second region can be independently driven to emit light. In this way, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can emit light separately. Among them, on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode, that is, on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, a second filter layer CF2 is provided, and the second filter layer CF2 is opposite to the second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0159] Referring to Figure 12 (a) As shown, in some other embodiments, the second filter layer CF2 may not be provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0160] Referring to Figures 14 - 21 As shown, the second light-emitting layer 119b includes a third region and a fourth region. The third region and at least a part of the thickness of the fourth region are arranged side by side between the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode; the third region is stacked with the first light-emitting layer 119a and is used to form the first sub-pixel; the fourth region is used to form the second sub-pixel.
[0161] The surface of the third region facing away from the first light-emitting layer 119a is electrically conducted with the N-type electrode, the surface of the first light-emitting layer 119a facing away from the third region is electrically conducted with the P-type electrode, and the fourth region is electrically conducted with the P-type electrode and the N-type electrode respectively.
[0162] It should be noted that the third region is arranged side by side with the fourth region having at least a part of its thickness, and the third region is stacked with the first light-emitting layer 119a. When both the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the first light-emitting layer 119a and the fourth region emit light through the recombination of electrons and holes, and the light-emitting mechanisms of both are electroluminescence. The light emitted by the first light-emitting layer 119a can excite the third region stacked therewith to emit light, and the light-emitting mechanism of the third region is photoluminescence.

The filter layer corresponds to the third region, and the passing wavelength of the filter layer is the first light-emitting wavelength. The filter layer can allow the light of the first light-emitting wavelength to pass through. In this way, the first sub-pixel corresponding to the third region can emit the light of the first light-emitting wavelength, and the second sub-pixel corresponding to the fourth region directly emits the light having the second light-emitting wavelength.
[0164] Refer to Figure 21 As shown, a reflective layer 107 is further provided on the backlight side of the light-emitting diode chip. The reflective layer 107 is located on the side of the P-type electrode facing away from the N-type electrode, and the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode is the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0165] A light-blocking layer 118 is further provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip. The light-blocking layer 118 is located between two adjacent sub-pixels. The light-blocking layer 118 can avoid the problem of light mixing between the two sub-pixels and ensure the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode chip. Based on the fact that the filter layer is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, the light-blocking layer 118 can be arranged side by side with the filter layer.
[0166] A hole-blocking layer 117 is provided between the third regions of the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b of the light-emitting diode chip. The sum of the thicknesses of the hole-blocking layer 117 and the first light-emitting layer 119a can be greater than the diffusion length of holes. In this way, the hole-blocking layer 117 can block the migration of holes into the third region.
[0167] Refer to Figure 16 As shown, as a first implementable embodiment, the third region is arranged side by side with a part of the thickness of the fourth region, and the first light-emitting layer 119a is arranged side by side with another part of the thickness of the fourth region.
[0168] In the above embodiment, the light-emitting diode chip further includes an isolation structure. The isolation structure is located between the third region and the fourth region arranged side by side, and between the first light-emitting layer 119a and the fourth region arranged side by side. The isolation structure can form a structural and electrical isolation between the third region and the fourth region arranged side by side, and between the first light-emitting layer 119a and the fourth region arranged side by side to ensure the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode.
[0169] Refer to Figure 15 As shown, the third region is arranged side by side with the fourth region of the entire thickness, and the first light-emitting layer 119a is arranged side by side with the P-type electrode of a partial thickness.

[0171] The first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel formed by the above light-emitting diode chip can be driven synchronously. In other embodiments, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can also be driven independently. The light-emitting diode chip that can be independently driven will be described below.
[0172] Refer to Figure 18 As shown, the P-type electrode includes a first P-type electrode and a second P-type electrode that are separated from each other. The first P-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the first light-emitting layer 119a facing away from the N-type electrode, and the second P-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the fourth region facing away from the N-type electrode; the isolation structure is also located between the first P-type electrode and the second P-type electrode. When the first P-type electrode and the N-type electrode are in the energized state, the first light-emitting layer 119a and the third region can be independently driven to emit light. When the second P-type electrode and the N-type electrode are in the energized state, the fourth region can be independently driven to emit light. In this way, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can emit light separately. Among them, the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip is located on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode, and a first filter layer CF1 can be provided on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode.
[0173] In some other embodiments, refer to Figure 19 As shown, the first filter layer CF1 may not be provided on the side of the N-type electrode facing away from the P-type electrode. At this time, the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting diode chip is located on the side of the P-type electrode facing away from the N-type electrode.
[0174] Refer to Figure 20 As shown, the N-type electrode includes a first N-type electrode and a second N-type electrode that are separated from each other. The first N-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the third region facing away from the P-type electrode, and the second N-type electrode is electrically connected to the surface of the fourth region facing away from the P-type electrode; the isolation structure is also located between the first N-type electrode and the second N-type electrode. When the first N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the first light-emitting layer 119a and the third region can be independently driven to emit light. When the second N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are in the energized state, the fourth region can be independently driven to emit light. In this way, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can emit light separately.
[0175] Refer toFigures 23 - 26 As shown, the light-emitting layer further includes a third light-emitting layer 119c having a third light-emitting wavelength, and the third light-emitting wavelength is less than the first light-emitting wavelength.
[0176] Along the thickness direction of the light-emitting diode chip, the third light-emitting layer 119c is stacked with at least one of the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b; in the stacked area, the third light-emitting layer 119c is located on the side of the corresponding stacked light-emitting layer close to the P-type electrode, and the light emitted by the third light-emitting layer 119c is used to excite the corresponding stacked light-emitting layer to emit light.
[0177] It should be noted that the third light-emitting layer 119c can also be selected from one of a red light-emitting material layer, a green light-emitting material layer, a blue light-emitting material layer, a purple light-emitting material layer, and an ultraviolet light-emitting material layer, as long as the third light-emitting wavelength is less than the first light-emitting wavelength and the second light-emitting wavelength. In other embodiments, the first light-emitting layer 119a, the second light-emitting layer 119b, and the third light-emitting layer 119c can also select light-emitting material layers of other wavelengths, as long as the relationship of the light-emitting wavelengths of the three is ensured, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0178] The third light-emitting layer 119c can be stacked only with the first light-emitting layer 119a, and the third light-emitting layer 119c can excite the first light-emitting layer 119a to emit light. The third light-emitting layer 119c can also be stacked only with the second light-emitting layer 119b, and the third light-emitting layer 119c can excite the second light-emitting layer 119b to emit light.
[0179] In some embodiments, at least part of the third light-emitting layer 119c is stacked with the stacked first light-emitting layer 119a and second light-emitting layer 119b. Among the stacked first light-emitting layer 119a, second light-emitting layer 119b, and third light-emitting layer 119c, along the direction from the P-type electrode to the N-type electrode, the third light-emitting layer 119c, the first light-emitting layer 119a, and the second light-emitting layer 119b are arranged in sequence, and the light emitted by the third light-emitting layer 119c is used to excite the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b to emit light.
[0180] Figure 23 As shown in, the first light-emitting layer 119a, the second light-emitting layer 119b, and the third light-emitting layer 119c are all stacked. The third light-emitting layer 119c is electroluminescent, and the second light-emitting layer 119b and the third light-emitting layer 119c are both photoluminescent. A first filter layer CF1 and a second filter layer CF2 with different wavelengths can be provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, so as to emit two kinds of light with different wavelengths, respectively forming a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel.
[0181] Figure 24As shown, the third light-emitting layer 119c, the first region of the first light-emitting layer 119a, and the second light-emitting layer 119b are stacked, and the third light-emitting layer 119c is stacked with the second region of the first light-emitting layer 119a. On the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, a filter layer can be provided at a position corresponding to the second light-emitting layer 119b, and the passing wavelength of the filter layer is the second light-emitting wavelength. Light with the second light-emitting wavelength can be emitted at a position corresponding to the filter layer, thereby forming a second sub-pixel. Light with the first light-emitting wavelength can be emitted at a position corresponding to the second region of the first light-emitting layer 119a, thereby forming a first sub-pixel.
[0182] Figure 25 As shown, the third light-emitting layer 119c, the third region of the first light-emitting layer 119a, and the second light-emitting layer 119b are stacked, and the third light-emitting layer 119c is stacked with the fourth region of the second light-emitting layer 119b. On the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, a filter layer can be provided at a position corresponding to the first light-emitting layer 119a, and the passing wavelength of the filter layer is the first light-emitting wavelength. Light with the first light-emitting wavelength can be emitted at a position corresponding to the filter layer, thereby forming a first sub-pixel. Light with the second light-emitting wavelength can be emitted at a position corresponding to the fourth region of the second light-emitting layer 119b, thereby forming a second sub-pixel.
[0183] Referring to Figure 26 As shown, the above-mentioned light-emitting diode chip further includes a reflective layer 107, and the reflective layer 107 is located on the backlight side of the light-emitting diode chip. The reflective layer 107 is located on the side where the P-type electrode faces away from the N-type electrode, and the side where the N-type electrode faces away from the P-type electrode forms the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0184] The above-mentioned light-emitting diode chip further includes a light-blocking layer 118, and the light-blocking layer 118 is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip and between two adjacent sub-pixels. The light-blocking layer 118 can avoid the problem of light mixing between two sub-pixels and ensure the light-emitting effect of the light-emitting diode chip. Based on the fact that the first filter layer CF1 and the second filter layer CF2 are located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip, the light-blocking layer 118 can be located between them.
[0185] The above-mentioned light-emitting diode chip further includes a hole-blocking layer 117, and the hole-blocking layer 117 is provided between any two adjacent layers of the stacked first light-emitting layer 119a, second light-emitting layer 119b, and third light-emitting layer 119c. The sum of the thickness of the hole-blocking layer 117 and the third light-emitting layer 119c can be greater than the diffusion length of holes. In this way, the hole-blocking layer 117 can block the migration of holes into the first light-emitting layer 119a and the second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0186] The light-emitting diode chip having the third light-emitting layer 119c can also be independently driven. That is, the N-type electrode is set as a discrete first N-type electrode and a second N-type electrode, or the P-type electrode is set as a mutually discrete first P-type electrode and a second P-type electrode. In the mutually discrete structure, an isolation structure can also be provided. The specific structure can refer to the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.
[0187] In the light-emitting diode chip provided by the embodiment of the present application, at least two of the above sub-pixels can form one pixel subgroup or multiple pixel subgroups; the same pixel subgroup includes multiple sub-pixels, and among the multiple sub-pixels, the number of the first sub-pixels and the number of the second sub-pixels are equal or unequal.
[0188] It should be noted that both the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can be one. Or, both of them can be two, three, four, etc. For Figure 27 example, all four sub-pixels belong to the same pixel subgroup, among which, the first sub-pixel B can be three, and the second sub-pixel G is one. For Figure 28 example, all four sub-pixels belong to the same pixel subgroup, among which, the second sub-pixel G can be three, and the first sub-pixel B is one. The present application does not limit the number of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel in the same pixel subgroup.
[0189] Exemplarily, the number of sub-pixels in the pixel subgroup can be a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and it can be an odd number greater than 2, that is, 3, 5, 7, etc. Exemplarily, the number of sub-pixels in the pixel subgroup can also be an even number greater than or equal to 2, that is, 2*N (refer to Figure 47 shown), where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. For example, the number of sub-pixels in the pixel subgroup can be 2*10, or 2*100, or 2*1000, etc.
[0190] In some embodiments, the shape of the sub-pixel is any one of a rectangle, a square, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rhombus, a parallelogram, and a polygon with more than four sides. Among them, the shapes of different sub-pixels are the same or different. That is, the shapes of the first sub-pixel B and the second sub-pixel G can both be Figure 1 or Figure 3 the rectangle shown in
[0191] In some embodiments, the shape of the light-emitting diode chip can be any one of a rectangle, a square, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rhombus, a parallelogram, and a polygon with more than four sides. When multiple light-emitting diode chips form a light-emitting diode chip group, the shapes of different light-emitting diode chips can be the same or different.
[0192] In some embodiments, the sizes of different sub-pixels are equal or unequal. The size of a sub-pixel affects its light-emitting area. That is, the light-emitting areas of different sub-pixels can be equal or unequal. The sizes of different sub-pixels can be adjusted according to the brightness attenuation of the sub-pixels. For example, if the brightness attenuation rate of a certain sub-pixel is relatively large, the size of this sub-pixel can be appropriately increased to ensure uniform light output requirements. The sizes of different sub-pixels can also be adjusted according to whether there is a sharing situation between different pixel units (Pixel unit, abbreviated as PU). For example, referring to Figure 51 As shown, sub-pixel (B) and sub-pixel (R) are shared by two pixel units respectively during the formation of pixel units PU1 and PU2, sub-pixel (G) is not shared and belongs entirely to pixel unit PU1. Therefore, the sizes of sub-pixel (B) and sub-pixel (R) are larger than the size of sub-pixel (G). In this way, the luminous brightness of the shared sub-pixels in each pixel unit can be ensured.
[0193] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "size" can be understood as the extension length of a sub-pixel in a certain extension direction. For example, it can be the length or width of a rectangular sub-pixel, or the major axis length or minor axis length of an elliptical sub-pixel, or the diameter of a circular sub-pixel, etc.
[0194] In some embodiments, the size of the pixel sub-group is greater than or equal to 50 microns. The size of the light-emitting diode chip composed of this pixel sub-group can also be greater than or equal to 50 microns. For example, it can be 50 - 100 microns, or 100 - 150 microns, or greater than 150 microns. Of course, in some embodiments, the size of this light-emitting diode chip can also be less than 50 microns. The light-emitting diode chip can be selected with different sizes according to different usage scenarios.
[0195] In some embodiments, the size range of the sub-pixel is 0.001 - 200 microns. When the size of the sub-pixel is 0.001 microns - 0.1 microns, the size of this sub-pixel is at the nanoscale and is a nano LED (nano LED). During the preparation of nano LED, the arrangement method of single-core dual-color multi-sub-pixels in this application can be referred to, which helps to increase the size of a single chip of nano LED containing multiple sub-pixels, so that the size of a single chip is close to or falls within the size range of LED chips that can be operated by the current mass transfer process, thereby reducing the operation difficulty during the preparation process of nano LED and improving its operability.
[0196] In some other embodiments, taking a light-emitting diode chip with a 2*2 combination of sub-pixels applied to a large TV as an example, the size of a single sub-pixel can be 50 microns, and the pitch between two adjacent sub-pixels can be 10 microns. The length and width of the light-emitting diode chip are both 110 microns, and its size can be calculated as 110*110 microns. A light-emitting diode chip with such a size can use the packaging process of mini LED.
[0197] The sizes of the light-emitting diode chip and the sub-pixels will vary according to the usage scenario of the light-emitting diode chip. Below, an exemplary description is given of the sizes of the light-emitting diode chip and the sub-pixels in different usage scenarios.
[0198] When the light-emitting diode chip is applied to display products such as home TVs and desktop computers, at a pixel density of 50 - 150, the size (pitch) of a pixel unit composed of several sub-pixels in multiple light-emitting diode chips can be 150 - 700 microns, the size (sub pitch) of the sub-pixels in the light-emitting diode chip can be less than 250 microns, and the size of the light-emitting diode chip can be greater than 100 microns.
[0199] When the light-emitting diode chip is applied to display products such as laptops and tablets, at a pixel density of 150 - 250, the size of the sub-pixels can be less than 70 microns, the size of the pixel unit is 100 - 200 microns, and the size of the light-emitting diode chip can be greater than 60 microns.
[0200] When the light-emitting diode chip is applied to display products such as mobile phones and smartwatches, at a pixel density greater than 300, the size of the sub-pixels can be less than 30 microns, the size of the pixel unit is less than 100 microns, and the size of the light-emitting diode chip can be greater than 50 microns.
[0201] Based on this, the light-emitting diode chip provided in the embodiments of the present application adopts a single-core dual-color multi-sub-pixel arrangement method. The size range of the sub-pixels and the light-emitting diode chip is relatively large, which can be applicable to different usage scenarios and increases the applicability of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0202] Refer to Figures 29 - 31 As shown, the light-emitting layer can include two pixel sub-groups. In other embodiments, the light-emitting layer can also include three, four, five or more pixel sub-groups. Taking two pixel sub-groups as an example, both of the two pixel sub-groups include a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G. Among them, the first direction is the direction shown by x in the figure, and the second direction is the direction shown by y in the figure.
[0203] Among them, the pixel subgroup includes a first pixel subgroup and a second pixel subgroup. The emission wavelengths of the first sub-pixel B of the first pixel subgroup and the first sub-pixel B of the second pixel subgroup are the same, and the emission wavelengths of the second sub-pixel G of the first pixel subgroup and the second sub-pixel G of the second pixel subgroup are the same. Figures 29 - 31 Both include two rows of sub-pixels. Among them, the two sub-pixels in the first row form a first pixel subgroup, and the two sub-pixels in the second row form a second pixel subgroup.
[0204] Optionally, referring to Figure 29 As shown, along the first direction, the first sub-pixel B of the first pixel subgroup corresponds to the first sub-pixel B of the second pixel subgroup, and the second sub-pixel G of the first pixel subgroup corresponds to the second sub-pixel G of the second pixel subgroup.
[0205] Optionally, referring to Figure 30 As shown, the first sub-pixel B of the first pixel subgroup corresponds to the second sub-pixel G of the second pixel subgroup, and the second sub-pixel G of the first pixel subgroup corresponds to the first sub-pixel B of the second pixel subgroup.
[0206] In the embodiments of the present application, the driving methods of the two pixel subgroups may include simultaneous driving and independent driving. Below, the different arrangement structures of these two driving methods will be described in detail.
[0207] Optionally, the light-emitting diode chip includes an N-type electrode and a P-type electrode. All the sub-pixels in the two pixel subgroups are respectively in contact with the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode, so as to realize the simultaneous driving of multiple sub-pixels.
[0208] Optionally, the N-type electrode includes at least two sub-N-type electrodes that are mutually discrete, and the number of sub-N-type electrodes is the same as the number of sub-pixels; one side of a sub-pixel facing away from the P-type electrode correspondingly contacts one sub-N-type electrode; the sides of the sub-pixels facing away from the N-type electrode are all in contact with the P-type electrode. In this way, when multiple N-type electrodes are respectively in the energized state and the P-type electrode is in the energized state, the independent driving of multiple sub-pixels can be realized.
[0209] Optionally, the P-type electrode includes at least two sub-P-type electrodes that are mutually discrete, and the number of sub-P-type electrodes is the same as the number of sub-pixels; one side of a sub-pixel facing away from the N-type electrode correspondingly contacts one sub-P-type electrode; the sides of the sub-pixels facing away from the P-type electrode are all in contact with the N-type electrode. In this way, when multiple P-type electrodes are respectively in the energized state and the N-type electrode is in the energized state, the independent driving of multiple sub-pixels can be realized. Figure 29 and Figure 30 As shown, it includes four sub-P-type electrodes, namely sub-P-type electrode P11, sub-P-type electrode P12, sub-P-type electrode P21, and sub-P-type electrode P22. The four sub-P-type electrodes are respectively connected to four sub-pixels, and the four sub-pixels are all connected to the N-type electrode.
[0210] In some embodiments, when the size of the overall light-emitting diode chip is large and the conductivity of a single electrode is not high, if all sub-pixels share the same electrode, for example, sharing a P-type electrode or sharing an N-type electrode, the light-emitting brightness of the sub-pixels in some areas will be relatively low, and the light-emitting effect of the overall light-emitting diode chip will be uneven. Therefore, in this application, all sub-pixels of the entire light-emitting diode chip are divided into multiple regions, and the sub-pixels within the same region are set to share electrodes. In this way, the sub-pixels in the same region share one electrode. Compared with all sub-pixels in all regions sharing the same electrode, the uniformity of the light-emitting effect of the sub-pixels in multiple regions and the overall light-emitting diode chip can be ensured.
[0211] Exemplarily, the N-type electrode includes at least two mutually discrete sub-N-type electrodes, and the number of sub-N-type electrodes is the same as the number of sub-pixels; the P-type electrode includes at least two mutually discrete sub-P-type electrodes, and the number of sub-P-type electrodes is less than the number of sub-pixels; one side of a sub-pixel facing away from the P-type electrode correspondingly contacts one sub-N-type electrode, and one side of a partial number of sub-pixels facing away from the N-type electrode contacts the same sub-P-type electrode. That is, on the basis of independent driving of multiple sub-pixels, multiple sub-pixels in some regions can share one sub-P-type electrode.
[0212] Another exemplarily, referring to Figure 31 As shown, the P-type electrode includes at least two mutually discrete sub-P-type electrodes, and the number of sub-P-type electrodes is the same as the number of sub-pixels; the N-type electrode includes at least two mutually discrete sub-N-type electrodes, and the number of sub-N-type electrodes is less than the number of sub-pixels; one side of a sub-pixel facing away from the N-type electrode correspondingly contacts one sub-P-type electrode, and one side of a partial number of sub-pixels facing away from the P-type electrode contacts the same sub-N-type electrode. Figure 31 As shown in, it includes four sub-P-type electrodes and two sub-N-type electrodes, namely sub-P-type electrode P11, sub-P-type electrode P12, sub-P-type electrode P21, and sub-P-type electrode P22, and sub-N-type electrode N1 and sub-N-type electrode N2. The first sub-pixel of the first pixel sub-group contacts sub-P-type electrode P11, and the second sub-pixel contacts sub-P-type electrode P21, and both contact sub-N-type electrode N1. The first sub-pixel of the second pixel sub-group contacts sub-P-type electrode P22, and the second sub-pixel contacts sub-P-type electrode P12, and both contact sub-N-type electrode N2. In this way, all sub-pixels of the first pixel sub-group can share one sub-N-type electrode, and all sub-pixels of the second pixel sub-group can share another sub-N-type electrode, ensuring the light-emitting uniformity of the overall light-emitting diode chip.
[0213] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 34 - 36As shown, the light-emitting diode chip can also be a monochromatic multi-subpixel chip. That is, the light-emitting layer includes a plurality of monochromatic subpixels. For example, the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting diode chip C1 can include 4 subpixels B( Figure 34 ), or the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting diode chip C2 includes 4 subpixels G( Figure 35 ), or the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting diode chip C3 includes 4 subpixels R( Figure 36 ). In other embodiments, the number of monochromatic subpixels in the light-emitting layer can be adjusted to 2, 3, 5 or more. Combining a plurality of monochromatic subpixels to form a light-emitting diode chip can also flexibly adjust the size of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0214] The structures and arrangements of the N-type electrode, P-type electrode, and light-emitting layer in the light-emitting diode chip are described in detail above. Hereinafter, other structures and arrangements of the light-emitting diode chip will be described in detail.

In this way, a light-emitting diode chip with a thin-film flip-chip structure can be formed. The light-emitting layer includes a stacked first light-emitting layer 119a and a second light-emitting layer 119b.
[0216] Optionally, the reflective layer 107 is disposed on a side of the buffer layer 101 away from the light-emitting layer. In this way, the light-emitting direction of the light-emitting diode chip is toward the direction away from the buffer layer 101. Optionally, referring to Figure 37 As shown, the reflective layer 107 is disposed on a side of the first insulating layer 108 away from the buffer layer 101, and a second insulating layer 109 is further disposed on a side of the reflective layer 107 away from the buffer layer 101.

The material of the current spreading layer 106 can be a transparent conductive material (indium tin oxide, ITO) or silver, etc., and its function is to improve the distribution ability of the P-type electrode and make the holes as evenly distributed as possible in the area where the P-type semiconductor layer 105 is located. The material of the first insulating layer 108 can be silicon oxide, silicon nitride.

The material of the substrate 100 can be one or more composites of sapphire, gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, silicon, and silicon carbide.
[0219] Referring to Figure 38 As shown, when the reflective layer 107 is disposed on the side of the buffer layer 101 away from the light-emitting layer, the reflective layer 107 is disposed on the side of the substrate 100 away from the buffer layer 101. Figure 38 The light-emitting direction is the upward direction indicated by the arrow in the figure, forming a surface-mounted structure light-emitting diode chip. The first filter layer 114 and the second filter layer 115 are disposed on the top of the first insulating layer 108, and an optical blocking layer 118 can be disposed at a position where they are close to each other. The optical blocking layer 118 is located on the side of the first filter layer 114 and the second filter layer 115 away from the bonding substrate 110. Figure 39 The light-emitting direction is the downward direction indicated by the arrow in the figure, forming an inverted structure light-emitting diode chip. The first filter layer 114 and the second filter layer 115 are disposed at the bottom of the substrate 100, and the optical blocking layer 118 is located between them.
[0220] Referring to Figure 40As shown, the light-emitting diode chip may further include a bonding substrate 110, a bonding layer 111, an N-type semiconductor layer 103, a P-type semiconductor layer 105, and a reflective layer 107; the bonding substrate 110 and the bonding layer 111 are sequentially disposed on the P-type electrode 104, the P-type semiconductor layer 105 is disposed on a side of the bonding layer 111 away from the bonding substrate 110 and is in contact with the bonding layer 111; the light-emitting layer is disposed on a side of the P-type semiconductor layer 105 away from the bonding substrate 110, the N-type semiconductor layer 103 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting layer away from the bonding substrate 110, and the N-type electrode 102 contacts a side of the N-type semiconductor layer 103 away from the bonding substrate 110; the reflective layer 107 is disposed on a side of the P-type semiconductor layer 105 close to the bonding substrate 110. The first light-filtering layer 114 and the second light-filtering layer 115 are disposed on the top of the first insulating layer 108, and an opaque layer 118 may be disposed at a position where they are close to each other. The opaque layer 118 is located on a side of the first light-filtering layer 114 and the second light-filtering layer 115 away from the bonding substrate 110. The light-emitting direction of the light-emitting diode chip may be the upward direction indicated by the arrow in the figure. A light-emitting diode chip with a vertical structure is formed.
[0221] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for manufacturing a light-emitting diode chip, and this manufacturing method can be used to manufacture the above-mentioned light-emitting diode chip.

The first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel formed by the first light emitting layer 119a and the second light emitting layer 119b are driven simultaneously. Specifically, the preparation method includes:
[0229] Form a substrate 100 through a deposition process Figure 43 (a)); sequentially form a buffer layer 101, an N-type semiconductor layer 103, a second light emitting layer 119b, a first light emitting layer 119a, and a P-type semiconductor layer 105 on the substrate 100 through an epitaxial growth process Figure 43 (b)); form a step Figure 43 (c)); form a patterned current spreading layer 106 Figure 43 (d)); form a patterned first insulating layer 108 covering the current spreading layer 106, and a part of the first insulating layer 108 is located at the step Figure 43 (e)); form a patterned reflective layer 107 covering the first insulating layer 108 Figure 43 (f)); form a patterned second insulating layer 109 covering the reflective layer 107 Figure 43 (g)); form an N-type electrode 102 and a P-type electrode 104 Figure 43 (h)); form a first light filtering layer 114, a second light filtering layer 115, and a light blocking layer 118 on a side of the substrate 100 away from the reflective layer 107 Figure 43 (i).
[0230] As a fourth preparation method of the light emitting diode chip, referring to Figure 44 as shown, it can be used to prepare the first light emitting layer 119a and the second light emitting layer 119b which are both stacked, and an isolation structure is formed between them. The first light emitting layer 119a and the second light emitting layer 119b are both stacked and independently driven. (The isolation material filled in the channel is not shown in the figure). Specifically, the preparation method includes:

[0232] Referring to Figure 45 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-emitting diode chip may further include a color conversion layer 112. The color conversion layer 112 is disposed on the light-emitting side of a part of the light-emitting diode chip and is correspondingly disposed with at least a part of the sub-pixels. The orthographic projection of the color conversion layer 112 on the plane where the corresponding sub-pixel is located may cover all regions of a single sub-pixel or only cover a part of the regions of a single sub-pixel. The material of the color conversion layer 112 may be a quantum dot material, a phosphor material, etc. Using the color conversion layer 112 can adjust the light-emitting wavelength of the light-emitting diode chip and enrich the types of its light-emitting wavelengths.
[0233] Taking a light-emitting diode chip with a front-mounted structure as an example, the light-emitting wavelengths of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, and the color conversion layer 112 are different from each other. In this way, the color conversion layer 112 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the second sub-pixel SP2 and is opposite to a part of the second sub-pixel SP2, which can convert a part of the light emitted by the second sub-pixel SP2 into light with a third light-emitting wavelength other than the light with the first light-emitting wavelength of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the light with the second light-emitting wavelength of the second sub-pixel SP2. Therefore, the light-emitting diode chip can emit light with the first light-emitting wavelength, the second light-emitting wavelength, and the third light-emitting wavelength. Figure 45 The light-emitting direction is the upward direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.
[0234] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a light-emitting diode chip group, which includes a plurality of the above-mentioned light-emitting diode chips, and the plurality of light-emitting diode chips are arranged in an array; two adjacent light-emitting diode chips include a first light-emitting diode chip and a second light-emitting diode chip, and a partial number of sub-pixels of the first light-emitting diode chip and a partial number of sub-pixels of the second light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit. It should be noted that the partial number of sub-pixels in the first light-emitting diode chip and the second light-emitting diode chip that form the pixel unit can be all or part of the sub-pixels in the same pixel sub-group. Optionally, the emission wavelengths of two sub-pixels of the first light-emitting diode chip and one sub-pixel of the second light-emitting diode chip are different from each other. In this way, pixel units with multiple emission wavelengths can be formed.
[0235] Next, in this embodiment, different arrangements between different light-emitting diode chips are used to form pixel units, and a chip group composed of dual-color multi-sub-pixel light-emitting diode chips will be described in detail.
[0236] As a first implementable embodiment, the entire regions of two sub-pixels of the first light-emitting diode chip and the entire region of one sub-pixel of the second light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit. The starting sub-pixel can be any one, such as R, such as B, such as G, and the arrangement order of the sub-pixels in the pixel unit can be changed arbitrarily.
[0237] For example, referring to Figure 46 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip includes two pixel sub-groups, that is, two pixel sub-groups in the first column. The pixel sub-group in the first row includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the pixel sub-group in the second row includes a third sub-pixel B and a fourth sub-pixel G. The second light-emitting diode chip includes two pixel sub-groups, that is, two pixel sub-groups in the second column. The pixel sub-group in the first row includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B, and the pixel sub-group in the second row includes a third sub-pixel R and a fourth sub-pixel B.
[0238] Using the first light-emitting diode chip and the second light-emitting diode chip in the above example to form a pixel unit, the first sub-pixel B and the second sub-pixel G in the first row of the first light-emitting diode chip and the first sub-pixel R in the first row of the second light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit PU1. According to this arrangement method, the first light-emitting diode chip and the second light-emitting diode chip also form a pixel unit PU2.
[0239] The light-emitting diode chip group may further include a third light-emitting diode chip. Continuing to refer to Figure 46 As shown, the third light-emitting diode chip includes two pixel sub-groups, that is, two pixel sub-groups in the third column. The pixel sub-group in the first row includes a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R, and the pixel sub-group in the second row includes a third sub-pixel G and a fourth sub-pixel R.
[0240] The second light-emitting diode chip and the third light-emitting diode chip form a pixel unit. The second sub-pixel B in the first row of the second light-emitting diode chip, the first sub-pixel G and the second sub-pixel R in the first row of the third light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit PU3. According to this arrangement method, the second light-emitting diode chip and the third light-emitting diode chip also form a pixel unit PU4.
[0241] Refer to Figure 47 and Figure 48 As shown, in the above arrangement method, the light-emitting diode chip includes three pixel sub-groups ( Figure 47 ), or four pixel sub-groups (not shown in the figure), or five pixel sub-groups ( Figure 48 Five pixel sub-groups are drawn in the figure, and the subsequent ellipsis indicates more pixel sub-groups), and even more pixel sub-groups can form pixel units.
[0242] The above-mentioned pixel unit PU1, pixel unit PU2, pixel unit PU3 and pixel unit PU4 together form a chip group CG1. According to the above arrangement method, a chip group CG2 can be formed. Figures 46 - 48 Both show two chip groups, namely chip group CG1 and chip group CG2. The arrangement methods of chip group CG1 and chip group CG2 can be the same, and the arrangement methods of the formed pixel units can also be the same. In other embodiments, the arrangement methods of chip group CG1 and chip group CG2 can also be different, and the arrangement methods of the formed pixel units can also be different.
[0243] In some embodiments, the arrangement methods of the sub-pixels in the first light-emitting diode chip, the second light-emitting diode chip and the third light-emitting diode chip can be different from those in the above embodiments. The following gives embodiments of different arrangement methods of the sub-pixels in the first light-emitting diode chip, the second light-emitting diode chip and the third light-emitting diode chip.
[0244] Refer to Figure 49As shown, in some embodiments, in the first light-emitting diode chip of the first column, the pixel subgroup in the first row includes a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R. The pixel subgroup in the second row includes a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R. In the second light-emitting diode chip of the second column, the pixel subgroup in the first row includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the pixel subgroup in the second row includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G. In the third light-emitting diode of the third column, the pixel subgroup in the first row includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B, and the pixel subgroup in the second row includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B. In this way, the first sub-pixel G and the second sub-pixel R of the pixel subgroup in the first row of the first light-emitting diode chip, together with the first sub-pixel B of the pixel subgroup in the first row of the second light-emitting diode chip, form a pixel unit PU1. In this way, pixel units PU2, PU3, and PU4 can be formed. The arrangement of the sub-pixels and pixel units in chip group CG1 and chip group CG2 is the same.
[0245] Referring to Figure 50 As shown, in some embodiments, in the first light-emitting diode chip of the first column, the pixel subgroup in the first row includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B. The pixel subgroup in the second row includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B. In the second light-emitting diode chip of the second column, the pixel subgroup in the first row includes a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R, and the pixel subgroup in the second row includes a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R. In the third light-emitting diode of the third column, the pixel subgroup in the first row includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the pixel subgroup in the second row includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G. In this way, the first sub-pixel R and the second sub-pixel B of the pixel subgroup in the first row of the first light-emitting diode chip, together with the first sub-pixel G of the pixel subgroup in the first row of the second light-emitting diode chip, form a pixel unit PU1. In this way, pixel units PU2, PU3, and PU4 can be formed. The arrangement of the sub-pixels and pixel units in chip group CG1 and chip group CG2 is the same.
[0246] In some embodiments, the sub-pixels between different chip groups can also form pixel units. By way of example, referring to Figure 51As shown, the chipset CG1 includes three pixel subgroups. The sub-pixels in the three pixel subgroups are respectively the first sub-pixel B and the second sub-pixel G of the first pixel subgroup, the third sub-pixel R and the fourth sub-pixel B of the second pixel subgroup, and the fifth sub-pixel G and the sixth sub-pixel R of the third pixel subgroup. The chipset CG2 includes multiple pixel subgroups. The sub-pixels in the three pixel subgroups are respectively the first sub-pixel B and the second sub-pixel G of the first pixel subgroup, the third sub-pixel R and the fourth sub-pixel B of the second pixel subgroup, and the fifth sub-pixel G and the sixth sub-pixel R of the third pixel subgroup. The chipset CG1 and the chipset CG2 can be arranged in two rows and are misaligned with each other (that is, along the arrangement direction of the chipset CG1 and the chipset CG2, the sub-pixels in the chipset CG1 and the chipset CG2 are misaligned with each other). The sub-pixels in the chipset CG1 and the chipset CG2 can form multiple pixel units. Specifically: The first sub-pixel B of the chipset CG1, together with the second sub-pixel G and the third sub-pixel R of the chipset CG2, form the pixel unit PU1. The second sub-pixel G and the third sub-pixel R of the chipset CG1, together with the fourth sub-pixel B of the chipset CG2, form the pixel unit PU2. The fourth sub-pixel B of the chipset CG1, together with the fifth sub-pixel G and the sixth sub-pixel R of the chipset CG2, form the pixel unit PU3.
[0247] As a second implementable embodiment, partial regions of two sub-pixels of the first light-emitting diode chip and a partial region of one sub-pixel of the second light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit. Refer to Figure 52 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip in the first column includes a pixel subgroup, and this pixel subgroup includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the size of the first sub-pixel B is larger than that of the second sub-pixel G. The second light-emitting diode chip in the second column includes a pixel subgroup, and this pixel subgroup includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel G, and the size of the first sub-pixel R is larger than that of the second sub-pixel G. A partial region of the first sub-pixel B of the first light-emitting diode chip, the entire region of the second sub-pixel G, and a partial region of the first sub-pixel R of the second light-emitting diode chip together form the pixel unit PU1.
[0248] The third light-emitting diode chip in the third column includes a pixel subgroup, and this pixel subgroup includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the size of the first sub-pixel B is larger than that of the second sub-pixel G. A partial region of the first sub-pixel R of the second light-emitting diode chip, the entire region of the second sub-pixel G, and a partial region of the first sub-pixel B of the third light-emitting diode chip together form the pixel unit PU2.
[0249] The first light-emitting diode chip and the second light-emitting diode chip together form a chip group CG1. In the above arrangement, the third light-emitting diode chip and the fourth and third light-emitting diode chips in the fourth column can form a chip group CG12. A partial area of the first sub-pixel B, the entire area of the second sub-pixel G of the third light-emitting diode chip, and a partial area of the first sub-pixel B of the fourth light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit PU3.
[0250] In the above embodiment, the shared sub-pixels are sub-pixel B and sub-pixel R. In some other embodiments, the sub-pixels shared for forming the pixel unit are different. Embodiments of the arrangement of the chip group sharing different sub-pixels are given below.
[0251] Refer to Figure 53 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip in the first column includes a pixel sub-group, which includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the size of the first sub-pixel B is smaller than that of the second sub-pixel G. The second light-emitting diode chip in the second column includes a pixel sub-group, which includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel R, and the size of the first sub-pixel B is smaller than that of the second sub-pixel R. A partial area of the first sub-pixel G of the first light-emitting diode chip, the entire area of the first sub-pixel B of the second light-emitting diode chip, and a partial area of the second sub-pixel R together form a pixel unit PU1. In this way, pixel units PU2 and PU3 can be formed. In this embodiment, the shared sub-pixels are sub-pixel G and sub-pixel R.
[0252] Refer to Figure 54 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip in the first column includes a pixel sub-group, which includes a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel G, and the size of the first sub-pixel B is smaller than that of the second sub-pixel G. The second light-emitting diode chip in the second column includes a pixel sub-group, which includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B, and the size of the first sub-pixel R is smaller than that of the second sub-pixel R. A partial area of the first sub-pixel G of the first light-emitting diode chip, the entire area of the first sub-pixel R of the second light-emitting diode chip, and a partial area of the second sub-pixel B together form a pixel unit PU1. In this way, pixel units PU2 and PU3 can be formed. In this embodiment, the shared sub-pixels are sub-pixel G and sub-pixel B.
[0253] It should be noted that in two adjacent pixel units, for example, the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit. When the sub-pixels in the first pixel unit have insufficient emission brightness, some or all of the sub-pixels in the adjacent second pixel unit can be borrowed flexibly to complete the emission of the second pixel unit. That is, the sub-pixels borrowed in the first pixel unit can be used for the emission of the second pixel unit instead of the emission of the first pixel unit. In this way, the structural flexibility of the chip and the light extraction effect can be improved. Among them, the first pixel unit can also borrow the sub-pixels of the second pixel unit for emission for other reasons, and the present application does not limit this.
[0254] As a third implementable embodiment, among at least two sub-pixels of the first light-emitting diode chip and at least two sub-pixels of the second light-emitting diode chip, the emission wavelengths of some of the sub-pixels are the same; and at least two sub-pixels of the first light-emitting diode chip and at least two sub-pixels of the second light-emitting diode chip together form a pixel unit.
[0255] Referring to Figure 55 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip C1 in the first column includes a plurality of pixel sub-groups. The pixel sub-group in the first row includes a first sub-pixel R and a second sub-pixel B. The second light-emitting diode chip C2 in the second column includes a plurality of pixel sub-groups. The pixel sub-group in the first row includes a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R. The first sub-pixel R, the second sub-pixel B of the first light-emitting diode chip C1, and the first sub-pixel G, the second sub-pixel R of the second light-emitting diode chip C2 together form a pixel unit PU. The number of sub-pixels in this pixel unit is greater than 3 and includes sub-pixels with three different emission wavelengths. In this arrangement, the pixel sub-groups in the second row of the first light-emitting diode chip C1 and the pixel sub-groups in the second row of the second light-emitting diode chip C2 can also form another pixel unit.
[0256] Figure 56 The shown pixel unit includes two sub-pixels R, one sub-pixel G, and one sub-pixel B. In other embodiments, the pixel unit can also include two sub-pixels R, two sub-pixels B, and one sub-pixel G, or the pixel unit can also include 5 sub-pixels, such as three sub-pixels R, one sub-pixel B, and one sub-pixel G, etc., or the pixel unit can also include 6, 7, 8, or more sub-pixels. The first light-emitting diode chip C1 and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 together form a chip group CG.
[0257] Based on the different luminous efficiencies of sub-pixels with different emission wavelengths, by using the above arrangement method, the uniformity of light with different wavelengths in a pixel unit can be adjusted, ensuring the consistency of light output and improving the light output effect of the light-emitting diode chip group. Moreover, when the number of a certain sub-pixel is multiple, for example, there are two sub-pixels R, and one sub-pixel R is damaged, the other sub-pixel R can be used to replace it for light output.
[0258] Referring to Figure 56 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip C1 may include a pixel subgroup, including a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel B, and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 may include a pixel subgroup, including a first sub-pixel B and a second sub-pixel R. The pixel subgroups of the first light-emitting diode chip C1 and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 together form a pixel unit, including two sub-pixels B, one sub-pixel G, and one sub-pixel R.
[0259] Referring to Figure 57 As shown, the first light-emitting diode chip C1 may include a pixel subgroup, including a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel B, and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 may include a pixel subgroup, including a first sub-pixel G and a second sub-pixel R. The pixel subgroups of the first light-emitting diode chip C1 and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 together form a pixel unit, including two sub-pixels G, one sub-pixel B, and one sub-pixel R.
[0260] Referring to Figures 46 - 50 As shown, the shapes of different light-emitting diode chips may be the same and are regular shapes.
[0261] Referring to Figures 58 - 62 As shown, in the light-emitting diode chip group provided in this embodiment, the first light-emitting diode chip C1 and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 may also both be irregularly shaped. The first light-emitting diode chip C1 has a protruding area, and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 has a recessed area. Among them, the protruding area may be a cube, a cone, a hemisphere, or other irregular shapes, and the shapes of the protruding area and the recessed area are adapted to each other and fit together. The number of the protruding area and the recessed area may each be 1, 2, or multiple, and the numbers of both are equal.
[0262] It should be noted that taking Figure 58Taking this as an example, the first light-emitting diode chip C1 and the second light-emitting diode chip C2 are both stepped. The protruding area A2 of the step of the first light-emitting diode chip C1 is relatively joined with the concave area A1 of the step of the second light-emitting diode chip C2, and they are joined in this way. In this way, the first light-emitting diode chip C1, the second light-emitting diode chip C2, and the third light-emitting diode chip C3 are completed to be joined. Among them, the sizes of the sub-pixels in the first light-emitting diode chip C1 are the same. In the present application, by the mutual alignment and joining of the protruding area and the concave area, a structure similar to a "mortise and tenon structure" can be formed, which is convenient for the self-alignment assembly of different light-emitting diode chips, reduces the alignment difficulty, and improves the preparation efficiency and yield.
[0263] Of course, the shape of the light-emitting diode chip can also be convex-shaped or concave-shaped ( Figure 59 as shown); or, in the stepped light-emitting diode chip, the sizes of different sub-pixels are different ( Figure 60 as shown); or, the light-emitting diode chip has a serrated edge ( Figure 61 as shown); or, the light-emitting diode chip has an arc-shaped edge ( Figure 62 as shown).
[0264] Referring to Figure 63 as shown, the light-emitting diode chip group includes a first light-emitting diode chip C1, a second light-emitting diode chip C2, and a third light-emitting diode chip C3 that are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence. The first light-emitting diode chip C1, the second light-emitting diode chip C2, and the third light-emitting diode chip C3 each include a pixel subgroup.
[0265] The first sub-pixel B, the second sub-pixel G of the first light-emitting diode chip C1 (the pixel subgroup in the first row and the first column), and the first sub-pixel R of the second light-emitting diode chip C2 (the pixel subgroup in the first row and the second column) have different emission wavelengths and jointly form the first pixel unit; the second sub-pixel B of the second light-emitting diode chip C2, the first sub-pixel G, and the second sub-pixel R of the third light-emitting diode chip C3 (the pixel subgroup in the first row and the third column) have different emission wavelengths and jointly form the second pixel unit. The first light-emitting diode chip C1, the second light-emitting diode chip C2, and the third light-emitting diode chip C3 jointly form a chip group CG1.
[0266] Among them, multiple light-emitting diode chips form multiple chip groups arranged in an array. The multiple chip groups can also include a chip group CG2, a chip group CG3, and a chip group CG4.
[0267] Among them, referring to Figure 63As shown, along the second direction y, in the chipset CG1, the sum of the size of the first sub-pixel B of the first light-emitting diode chip and the distance between the first sub-pixel B of the first light-emitting diode chip and the second sub-pixel G of the first light-emitting diode chip is the first size.

The distance between the first sub-pixel B of the first light-emitting diode chip in the chip group CG1 and the first sub-pixel B of the first light-emitting diode chip in the chip group CG3 is n.
[0276] The first sub-pixel B, the second sub-pixel G of the first light-emitting diode chip in the chip group CG1, and the first sub-pixel R of the second light-emitting diode chip can form a pixel unit. The sum of m and n can be the pixel pitch of the pixel unit along the first direction x. The sum of a, b, c, d, e, and f can be the pixel pitch of the pixel unit along the second direction y. The sum of m and n and the sum of a, b, c, d, e, and f can be equal or unequal.
[0277] When the number of sub-pixels of the chip group along the first direction x is 1, along the first direction x, the sum of the size of the chip and the spacing between the chip groups can be flexibly adjusted, that is, Figure 63 The sum of m and n shown in Figure 63 can be flexibly adjusted. In this way, display panels with different pixel sizes can be adapted.
[0278] When the number of sub-pixels of the chip group along the first direction x is greater than 1, along the first direction x, the sum of the size of the chip and the spacing between the chip groups is limited. Continuing to refer to Figure 63 (a) shown, taking the chip group having 2 sub-pixels along the first direction x as an example for illustration. In chip group CG1 and chip group CG2, the size of the first sub-pixel B is m. In chip group CG1, the spacing between two adjacent first sub-pixels B is n. In chip group CG2, the spacing between two adjacent first sub-pixels is p. The spacing between the first sub-pixel B of chip group CG1 and the first sub-pixel B of chip group CG2 is o. The above sizes need to satisfy that the sum of m and n, the sum of m and o, and the sum of m and p can be equal or not equal. m, n, o, and p can all be flexibly adjusted according to display panels with different pixel sizes to flexibly correspond to display panels with different pixel sizes.
[0279] In the embodiments of the present application, a plurality of light-emitting diode chips form a plurality of chip groups arranged in an array and a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array. Taking one light-emitting diode chip including one pixel sub-group and one pixel sub-group including two sub-pixels as an example, and taking a plurality of light-emitting diode chips forming a light-emitting diode chip group as an example, in the formed pixel units, the number of sub-pixels in the pixel units will be different, which will be described in detail below.
[0280] Referring to Figure 64 and Figure 65 shown, both light-emitting diode chip group CG1 and light-emitting diode chip group CG2 include light-emitting diode chip C1, light-emitting diode chip C2, and light-emitting diode chip C3.
[0281] The formed pixel units include an odd number of sub-pixels. For example, referring to Figure 64 shown, the formed pixel units PU1, pixel unit PU2, pixel unit PU3, and pixel unit PU4, each pixel unit has 3 sub-pixels. Referring to Figure 65 shown, the formed pixel units PU1 and pixel unit PU2, each pixel unit has 5 sub-pixels. In other embodiments, the number of sub-pixels in the pixel unit can also be 7, 9, 11 or more odd numbers.
[0282] Among them, in each light-emitting diode chip, the distance between two adjacent sub-pixels can be d1. The distance between adjacent chip groups can be d2. The distance between adjacent pixel units can be d3. The distance between two adjacent light-emitting diode chips can be d4. When the number of sub-pixels in a pixel unit is odd, d1, d2, d3, and d4 are all equal, which can ensure the light emission uniformity of each light-emitting diode chip.
[0283] Referring to Figure 66 and Figure 67 As shown, the light-emitting diode chip group CG1 and the light-emitting diode chip group CG2 both include a light-emitting diode chip C1, a light-emitting diode chip C2, and a light-emitting diode chip C3.
[0284] The formed pixel unit includes an even number of sub-pixels. For example, referring to Figure 66 As shown, the formed pixel units PU1, PU2, and PU3, and each pixel unit has 4 sub-pixels. Referring to Figure 67 As shown, the formed pixel units PU1 and PU2, and each pixel unit has 6 sub-pixels. In other embodiments, the number of sub-pixels in a pixel unit can also be 8, 10, or more even numbers.
[0285] When the number of sub-pixels in a pixel unit is even, d1, d2, d3, and d4 can all be equal, or they can be different from each other in pairs. That is, d1 can be not equal to d2, can be not equal to d3, and can be not equal to d4; d2 can be not equal to d3, and can be not equal to d4; d3 can be not equal to d4. Among them, d3 can be determined by the PPI of the full-color display screen prepared from this light-emitting diode chip group, and the flexible adjustment of d3 can achieve efficient layout for various applications from a watch to a large-size TV.
[0286] In this way, d1 can be less than d3, and the distance between sub-pixels in the light-emitting diode chip can be flexibly adjusted, so as to adjust the arrangement area of the light-emitting diode chip and avoid waste of the arrangement area. And, d2 can be greater than d1, which is convenient for the arrangement between light-emitting diode chips and convenient for assembly. Of course, when d1, d2, d3, and d4 are equal, the arrangement regularity of each sub-pixel, each light-emitting diode chip, each light-emitting diode chip group, and each pixel unit can be effectively improved, and the light emission uniformity can be improved.
[0287] Referring to Figure 68 and Figure 69 As shown, in some embodiments, a dual-color light-emitting diode chip can be combined with a single-color light-emitting diode chip to form a full-color chip group. Referring to Figure 68As shown, the light-emitting diode chip C1 includes two sub-pixels with different emission wavelengths (i.e., sub-pixel B and sub-pixel G), which is a two-color light-emitting diode chip. The light-emitting diode chip C2 includes one sub-pixel R. The two sub-pixels of the light-emitting diode chip C1 and the one sub-pixel of the light-emitting diode chip C2 can form a full-color pixel unit. In this embodiment, the sizes of the two sub-pixels of the light-emitting diode chip C1 and the one sub-pixel of the light-emitting diode chip C2 can be equal.
[0288] Referring to Figure 69 As shown, in some other embodiments, the sizes of the two sub-pixels of the light-emitting diode chip C1 and the one sub-pixel of the light-emitting diode chip C2 can be unequal. For example, the size of sub-pixel R is larger than the sizes of sub-pixel G and sub-pixel B.

The driving unit 202 and the driving substrate 201 can also be TFT and CMOS.
[0294] One driving unit 202 and one light-emitting diode chip group can form a micro-display module. Figure 71 The micro-display modules DBM1 and DBM2 are shown, both of which are electrically connected to the driving substrate 201. The driving substrate 201 can provide driving current for the driving units 202 in the micro-display module, so as to drive the light-emitting diode chip group to emit light through the driving units 202. In some embodiments, the number of micro-display modules can be 3, 4, 5 or more. The specific value of this number is not limited in this embodiment.
