[0032] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manners, structures, features and their effects of the present invention as follows.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-5 as shown: Embodiment 1:

[0034] A MiniLED-RGB display device based on MEP packaging includes an MEP package 101. The MEP package 101 includes a TOP substrate 201 and a Bottom substrate 204. The upper surface of the TOP substrate 201 is provided with a plurality of light-emitting wafer groups 202 evenly distributed in a rectangular array. An IC chip 203 and heat-conducting liquid gold 209 are provided between the TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204. The TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204 are welded together through alloy balls 208. The lower surface of the Bottom substrate 204 is embedded with pin pads 205. Printed circuits are buried in both the TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204. The light-emitting wafer groups 202, the IC chip 203 and the pin pads 205 are electrically connected to each other through the printed circuits buried in the TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204;

[0035] MEP is the abbreviation of "Moulded Embedded Package", which means "moulded embedded package";

[0036] When this embodiment works, by setting up the structure of clamping and embedding the IC chip 203 with the TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204, the circuit design of this application forms a three-dimensional structure, thus avoiding the layout limitations on the two-dimensional plane and obtaining more layout space. At the same time, according to the different positions in the vertical direction, printed circuits for functions are set, thereby increasing more functions and adjustment ranges. During assembly, they are welded together by alloy balls 208, which not only avoids the production difficulties of stacking multiple high-density substrates layer by layer, but also ensures a high-density printed circuit, thus reducing the difficulty of the overall preparation process and improving the yield rate. Through the filled thermally conductive liquid gold 209, the heat generated by the light-emitting wafer group 202, the IC chip 203, and each circuit is quickly and evenly conducted to the Bottom substrate 204, and then conducted to the outside, thereby obtaining better thermal management capabilities, avoiding a series of problems caused by the thermal stress of heat accumulation in the light-emitting wafer group 202 and the IC chip 203 during the working process, and improving the overall service life.

[0037] Embodiment Two:

[0038] On the basis of Embodiment One, a heat spreader 206 is provided in the thermally conductive liquid gold 209. A heat conduction block 207 is installed between adjacent IC chips 203 on the heat spreader 206. Both the heat spreader 206 and the heat conduction block 207 are provided with porous metal fillers and refrigerant. The porous metal filler is provided with several cavities. The cavities of the heat spreader 206 are concentrated directly below the heat conduction block 207 and directly below the IC chip 203. The cavities of the heat spreader 206 are circular in the horizontal cross-section and spindle-shaped in the vertical cross-section.

[0039] When this embodiment works, the heat conduction rate of the thermally conductive liquid gold 209 is accelerated by the heat spreader 206 and the heat conduction block 207. The porous metal filler enables the refrigerant to more fully and quickly absorb the heat from the light-emitting wafer group 202 or the IC chip 203 and other circuits. After absorbing heat, the refrigerant undergoes a phase change and quickly moves to the side far from the heat absorption area. Subsequently, the refrigerant undergoes a phase change again to release the absorbed heat. The phase-changed refrigerant forms a capillary flow by virtue of the porous structure of the porous metal filler and moves back to the initial heat absorption area again, forming a cyclic fast heat conduction rate, further controlling the temperature of each heating object, and evenly conducting the heat to the Bottom substrate 204 for further heat dissipation, so as to obtain the best heat dissipation effect for the whole, avoid heat accumulation, and facilitate the further heat dissipation process.

[0040] Embodiment Three:

[0041] On the basis of Embodiment 2, the light-emitting wafer group 202 includes an RLED wafer 301, a GLED wafer 302, a BLED wafer 303, and a common cathode electrode 304. The RLED wafer 301, the GLED wafer 302, the BLED wafer 303, and the common cathode electrode 304 are distributed in a square array, and an equal-width wafer gap 305 is maintained between each light-emitting wafer group 202;

[0042] If the distance between the centers of adjacent light-emitting wafer groups 202 is set as a, then a ≤ 312.5 microns;

[0043] Each light-emitting wafer group 202 has the same length and width, and if the length and width dimensions are set as b, then b ≤ 225 microns;

[0044] If the size of the wafer gap 305 is set as c, then c ≤ 87.5 microns;

[0045] If the size of the MEP package 101 is set as d, then d is an integer multiple of a;

[0046] Embodiment 4:

[0047] On the basis of Embodiment 3, it further includes a lamp board PCB 102. The MEP package 101 is electrically connected to the lamp board PCB 102 through a pin pad 205. A number of MEP packages 101 are evenly distributed in a rectangular array on the lamp board PCB 102. A substrate interval 401 is provided between adjacent MEP packages 101. If the size of the substrate interval 401 is set as e, then e ≤ 120 microns, and d ≤ 15 mm;

[0048] Both the TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204 use bismaleimide triazine resin as the main material.

[0049] When the present invention is in use, the staff sets the structure of the TOP substrate 201 and the Bottom substrate 204 to clamp and embed the IC chip 203, so that the circuit design of the present application forms a three-dimensional structure, thereby avoiding the layout limitations on the two-dimensional plane, obtaining more layout space, and at the same time setting the printed circuit for functions according to different positions in the vertical direction, thereby increasing more functions and adjustment ranges, solving the problem that the IC devices on the back of each light-emitting unit cannot be arranged under the limitation of the ultra-small distance between each light-emitting unit, reaching the physical limit of the PCB-based LED display, and accelerating the trend of the civilian market of the layout of micro-pitch LED displays;

[0050] By welding each component together with the alloy ball 208, it not only skillfully avoids the production difficulties of the traditional process of stacking multiple high-density substrates layer by layer, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the high-density printed circuit, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of the entire product preparation process and significantly improving the yield;

[0051] In traditional processes, the layer-by-layer stacking of multi-layer high-density substrates is an extremely complex and error-prone process. The alignment accuracy, welding quality, and material compatibility of each layer of the substrate need to be strictly controlled. A slight oversight can lead to problems such as short circuits, open circuits, or signal interference in the entire product. However, after adopting the alloy ball 208 welding technology, these problems are solved. The alloy ball 208 has excellent electrical conductivity and thermal stability, and can quickly and accurately connect each component together in a high-temperature environment to form an integrated whole. This not only reduces the number of welding points, decreases the impact of thermal stress during the welding process on the substrate, but also improves the welding efficiency and shortens the production cycle.

[0052] In high-density printed circuits, the alloy ball 208 can ensure a closer connection of the circuit and more stable signal transmission, thus meeting the requirements of high reliability, significantly improving the overall performance of electronic products, and at the same time making it possible for the products to be miniaturized and lightweight.

[0053] In summary, the application of the alloy ball 208 welding technology not only solves many problems in traditional processes, but also brings higher efficiency and better quality to the production of this invention.

[0054] Through the filled thermally conductive liquid gold 209, the heat generated by the light-emitting wafer group 202, the IC chip 203, and each circuit is quickly and evenly conducted to the Bottom substrate 204, and then conducted to the outside, thereby obtaining better thermal management capabilities, avoiding a series of problems caused by the thermal stress of heat accumulation in the light-emitting wafer group 202 and the IC chip 203 during operation, and improving the overall service life.

[0055] During operation, the heat conduction rate of the thermally conductive liquid gold 209 is accelerated through the heat spreader 206 and the heat conduction block 207. The porous metal filler enables the refrigerant to more fully and quickly absorb the heat from the light-emitting wafer group 202 or the IC chip 203 and other circuits. After absorbing heat, the refrigerant undergoes a phase change and quickly moves to the side far from the heat absorption area. Subsequently, the refrigerant undergoes a phase change again to release the absorbed heat. The phase-changed refrigerant forms a capillary flow by virtue of the porous structure of the porous metal filler and moves back to the initial heat absorption area again, forming a cyclic and rapid heat conduction rate, further controlling the temperature of each heat-generating object, and evenly conducting the heat to the Bottom substrate 204 for further heat dissipation, so as to enable the whole to obtain the best heat dissipation effect, avoid heat accumulation, and facilitate the further heat dissipation process.

[0056] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments by using the disclosed technical content within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
