[0047] Embodiment One

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light emitting device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a light emitting diode 110, a columnar portion 120, and a support portion 130. The light emitting diode 110 includes a mini / micro light emitting diode (Mini / Micro LED) having a size of less than 200 micrometers.

[0049] The columnar portion 120 includes opposite first and second ends, the light emitting diode 110 is disposed on an end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120, a projection of the light emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 is located within the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120, or the projection of the light emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 coincides with the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120. That is, the light emitting diode 110 does not exceed the edge of the columnar portion 120. It should be noted that after the light emitting device 100 is transferred to the driving substrate 300, the light emitting diode 110 can be peeled off from the columnar portion 120, and the driving substrate 300 and the light emitting diode 110 form a display panel.

[0050] The support portion 130 is disposed on an end face of the second end of the columnar portion 120, at least part of a projection of the support portion 130 on the end face of the second end of the columnar portion 120 is located outside the end face of the second end of the columnar portion 120. That is, the support portion 130 protrudes relative to the edge of the columnar portion 120.

[0051] The display panel includes the light emitting diode 110, when the light emitting device 100 is used to manufacture the display panel, light emitting devices 100 of different sizes can be manufactured, the light emitting diodes 110 of the light emitting devices 100 of different sizes are of different light emitting colors, and the transfer substrate 200 includes openings of different sizes matched with the columnar portions 120, so that the light emitting devices 100 of different sizes can be positioned at different positions on the transfer substrate 200, thereby realizing simultaneous transfer of the light emitting diodes 110 of different light emitting colors. When the light emitting device 100 is used to manufacture the display panel, the specific method of transferring the light emitting diode 110 to the driving substrate 300 to form the display panel will be described in detail below.

[0052] In the embodiment, the light emitting device 100 includes the light emitting diode 110, the columnar portion 120, and the support portion 130, the light emitting diode 110 is disposed on an end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120, a projection of the light emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 is located within the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120, or the projection of the light emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 coincides with the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120, and the support portion 130 is disposed on an end face of the second end of the columnar portion 120, at least part of a projection of the support portion 130 on the end face of the second end of the columnar portion 120 is located outside the end face of the second end of the columnar portion 120. When the light emitting device 100 is used to manufacture the display panel, light emitting devices 100 of different sizes can be manufactured and positioned at different positions on the transfer substrate 200, the light emitting devices 100 of different sizes can include light emitting diodes 110 of different light emitting colors, so that simultaneous transfer of the light emitting diodes 110 of different light emitting colors can be realized, thereby improving the production efficiency of the display panel.

[0053] In some embodiments, the columnar portion 120 comprises a cylinder, an elliptic cylinder or a prism, and the prism comprises a quadrangular prism, a pentagonal prism, a hexagonal prism, etc. The orthogonal projection of the light-emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 can be circular, rectangular, etc., and the specific shape is not limited.

[0054] When the columnar portion 120 is a cylinder, the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 is circular. In this way, the columnar portion 120 is easier to be inserted into the opening of the transfer substrate 200, and the columnar portion 120 and the opening on the transfer substrate 200 do not need to be circumferentially aligned, which reduces the difficulty of transferring the light-emitting diode 110. When the columnar portion 120 is an elliptic cylinder or a prism, the orthogonal projection of the light-emitting diode 110 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 can be rectangular. In this way, the light-emitting diode 110 can be arranged in the row direction and the column direction on the display panel, and the positioning inaccuracy of the light-emitting diode 110 does not affect the pixel uniformity of the display panel.

[0055] In some embodiments, the light-emitting diode 110 comprises a first electrode 111, a first semiconductor layer 112 and a second semiconductor layer 113 which are sequentially stacked, and in the first semiconductor layer 112 and the second semiconductor layer 113: one is an N-type doped semiconductor and the other is a P-type doped semiconductor. The light-emitting diode 110 further comprises a second electrode 114, and the second electrode 114 comprises a first conductor portion 1141 which connects the second semiconductor layer 113 and the columnar portion 120. The light-emitting diode 110 can be peeled off from the columnar portion 120, that is, the second electrode 114 can be peeled off from the columnar portion 120.

[0056] The orthogonal projection of the first electrode 111 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120 is located in the central region of the orthogonal projection of the first conductor portion 1141 on the end face of the first end of the columnar portion 120, that is, the edge region of the first conductor portion 1141 surrounds the first electrode 111, as shown in Figure 4 For example, the first electrode 111 and the first conductor portion 1141 are both cylinders, and the outer diameter of the first conductor portion 1141 is greater than the outer diameter of the first electrode 111.

[0057] Referring to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the display panel comprises a driving substrate 300, and the driving substrate 300 comprises a substrate substrate 310, a driving circuit layer and a binding end 320 which are sequentially formed on the substrate substrate 310. The binding end 320 comprises a first connecting electrode 321 and a second connecting electrode 322 which are arranged at intervals, as shown in Figure 5 The first connecting electrode 321 is connected with the first electrode 111, and the second connecting electrode 322 is connected with the edge region of the first conductor portion 1141.

[0058] The edge region of the first conductor portion 1141 surrounds the first electrode 111. When the light emitting diode 110 is bonded to the driving substrate 300, the second connecting electrode 322 and the first conductor portion 1141 can be bonded only by aligning the first electrode 111 with the first connecting electrode 321, without worrying about the circumferential misalignment of the second connecting electrode 322 and the first conductor portion 1141.

[0059] It should be noted that the light emitting diode 110 can further include a light emitting layer 115 and a first insulating layer 116. The light emitting layer 115 is formed between the first semiconductor layer 112 and the second semiconductor layer 113. The first insulating layer 116 is arranged to surround at least the first electrode 111, the first semiconductor layer 112 and the light emitting layer 115, so that the first electrode 111, the first semiconductor layer 112 and the light emitting layer 115 are all insulated from the second electrode 114.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second connecting electrode 322 can be arranged to surround the first connecting electrode 321.

[0061] Since the distance between the first electrode 111 and the substrate substrate 310 is relatively closer, and the distance between the first conductor portion 1141 and the substrate substrate 310 is relatively farther, the height of the second connecting electrode 322 needs to be greater than the height of the first connecting electrode 321, so as to facilitate the bonding between the second connecting electrode 322 and the first conductor portion 1141. The second connecting electrode 322 is arranged to surround the first connecting electrode 321, and the second connecting electrode 322 can serve as a positioning structure to align the first electrode 111 with the first connecting electrode 321.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second electrode 114 further includes a second conductor portion 1142 and a conductive connecting portion 1143. The second conductor portion 1142 is arranged to surround the first electrode 111, and the conductive connecting portion 1143 connects the first conductor portion 1141 and the second conductor portion 1142, as shown in Figure 6 It should be noted that the outer surface of the second electrode 114 can further form a second insulating layer 117 to protect the light emitting diode 110.

[0063] The second conductor portion 1142 is arranged to surround the first electrode 111, and the conductive connecting portion 1143 connects the first conductor portion 1141 and the second conductor portion 1142. In this way, the height of the first connecting electrode 321 can be equal to the height of the second connecting electrode 322, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the driving substrate 300.

[0064] In some embodiments, the manufacturing material of the column portion 120 includes a photodegradable adhesive, which is an adhesive that can be debonded under light conditions.

[0065] The pillar portion 120 is made of a light-degradable glue. After the light-emitting diode 110 is transferred to the driving substrate 300 and is bonded with the bonding end 320, the pillar portion 120 and the light-emitting diode 110 can be separated by light irradiation.

[0066] It should be noted that the pillar portion 120 can be made of a light-degradable glue, but is not limited thereto. The pillar portion 120 can also be made of other organic or inorganic materials, and then the pillar portion 120 and the light-emitting diode 110 are bonded by a light-degradable glue. The specific material can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0067] In other embodiments, the pillar portion 120 can also be made of a light-degradable material. The light-degradable material can gradually decompose under light irradiation, so as to separate the pillar portion 120 and the light-emitting diode 110. The pillar portion 120 can also be made of an adhesive with reduced adhesion after heating or a material that gradually decomposes after heating. In addition, the pillar portion 120 can also be made of an organic or inorganic material with etching selectivity with the material of the light-emitting diode 110. After the light-emitting diode 110 is transferred to the driving substrate 300 and is bonded with the bonding end 320, part or all of the pillar portion 120 is etched and removed, so as to separate the pillar portion 120 and the light-emitting diode 110.

[0072] The sizes of the light emitting diodes 110 of different light emitting colors can be different, for example, the size of the blue light emitting diode 110 is the largest, and the size of the green light emitting diode 110 is the smallest, but not limited to this, the red light emitting diode 110, the green light emitting diode 110 and the blue light emitting diode 110 can also be made into the same size, which can be determined according to the situation.

[0073] S200: A transfer substrate 200 is provided, the transfer substrate 200 includes a plurality of openings, the plurality of openings includes a first opening 210a, a second opening 210b and a third opening 210c, the size of the first opening 210a matches the cross-sectional size of the columnar portion 120 of the first light emitting device 100a, the size of the second opening 210b matches the cross-sectional size of the columnar portion 120 of the second light emitting device 100b, and the size of the third opening 210c matches the cross-sectional size of the columnar portion 120 of the third light emitting device 100c.

[0074] That is, the opening size of the transfer substrate 200 is equal to or slightly larger than the cross-sectional size of the columnar portion 120. The first light emitting device 100a can be inserted into the first opening 210a and hung on the transfer substrate 200 by the support portion 130 of the first light emitting device 100a, the columnar portion 120 of the first light emitting device 100a cannot be inserted into the second opening 210b, and the support portion 130 of the first light emitting device 100a can pass through the third opening 210c. Accordingly, the second light emitting device 100b can be inserted into the second opening 210b and hung on the transfer substrate 200 by the support portion 130 of the second light emitting device 100b, the support portion 130 of the second light emitting device 100b can pass through the first opening 210a and the third opening 210c; the third light emitting device 100c can be inserted into the third opening 210c and hung on the transfer substrate 200 by the support portion 130 of the third light emitting device 100c, and the columnar portion 120 of the third light emitting device 100c cannot be inserted into the first opening 210a and the second opening 210b.

In addition, in the transfer process, the light emitting devices 100 that are not successfully dropped into the corresponding openings of the transfer substrate 200 or fall through the openings can be recycled for reuse, avoiding chip waste and significantly reducing production costs.

[0079] In some embodiments, the transfer substrate 200 is inclined in step S300, so that the light emitting devices 100 can roll or slide on the transfer substrate 200.

[0080] The light emitting devices 100 can roll or slide on the transfer substrate 200, which can avoid the accumulation of light emitting devices 100 that do not fall into the openings on the transfer substrate 200.

[0081] In some embodiments, the transfer substrate 200 is vibrated during the process of transferring the plurality of light emitting devices 100 onto the transfer substrate 200, so that the columnar portions 120 of the light emitting devices 100 are inserted into the corresponding openings.

[0082] Vibrating the transfer substrate 200 can make the columnar portions 120 most accurate with the corresponding openings and inserted into the openings, thereby improving the transfer speed of the light emitting diodes 110.

[0083] It should be noted that in step S300, the transfer substrate 200 can be inclined and vibrated. In this design, the inclination angle of the transfer substrate 200 is reduced, which can avoid the speed of the light emitting devices 100 rolling or sliding on the transfer substrate 200 being too fast, thereby affecting the speed of the light emitting devices 100 being inserted into the corresponding openings.

[0084] In some embodiments, the material of the columnar portions 120 is photodegradable glue, or the columnar portions 120 and the light emitting diodes 110 are connected by photodegradable glue. The method of peeling the light emitting diodes 110 from the columnar portions 120 includes debonding the columnar portions 120 and the light emitting diodes 110 by light.

[0085] The photodegradable glue is an adhesive that can be debonded under light conditions. After the light emitting diodes 110 are transferred onto the driving substrate 300 and bonded with the bonding ends 320, the columnar portions 120 and the light emitting diodes 110 are debonded by light, so that the columnar portions 120 and the light emitting diodes 110 can be peeled.

[0086] It should be noted that the columnar portion 120 and the light emitting diode 110 can be connected or peeled off by photolysis glue, but are not limited thereto, and the material of the columnar portion 120 can also be an adhesive with reduced adhesion after being heated or a material that gradually decomposes after being heated. In addition, the material of the columnar portion 120 can also be an organic material or an inorganic material that has etching selectivity with the material of the light emitting diode 110, and after the light emitting diode 110 is transferred to the driving substrate 300 and bonded with the bonding end 320, the columnar portion 120 is partially or entirely etched and removed, thereby achieving the peeling of the columnar portion 120 and the light emitting diode 110.

[0087] Embodiment Three

[0088] The present application also provides a display panel, which is manufactured by the manufacturing method of the display panel disclosed in Embodiment Two. Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 12 As shown in FIG. 1, the display panel includes a driving substrate 300 and a light emitting diode 110 bonded on the driving substrate 300. The driving substrate 300 includes a substrate 310, a driving circuit layer, and a bonding end 320, and the pixel driving circuit in the driving circuit layer can drive the light emitting diode 110 to emit light, thereby realizing picture display.

[0089] In the present embodiment, since the light emitting devices 100 of different sizes and the openings of different sizes on the transfer substrate 200 are one-to-one corresponding, the light emitting devices 100 of different sizes can be simultaneously transferred, that is, the light emitting diodes 110 of different light emitting colors can be simultaneously transferred, thereby improving the production efficiency of the display panel. In addition, in the transfer process, the light emitting devices 100 that are not successfully dropped into the corresponding openings of the transfer substrate 200 or fall through the openings can be recycled for reuse, thereby avoiding chip waste and significantly reducing production cost.
