[0031] With the continuous development of modern display technology, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in display modules and display devices due to their energy-saving, high efficiency, long lifespan, excellent light quality, and environmental friendliness.
[0032] When manufacturing a display module using light-emitting diodes, a color conversion layer is usually fabricated on the LED chip. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure good alignment among the LED chip, the color conversion layer, and the target substrate, and a large number of LED chips need to be transferred. The entire manufacturing process requires high precision and complex technology. Therefore, it is necessary to improve its manufacturing process and enhance related performance.
[0033] To solve the technical problems existing in the related art, the present application provides a method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel provided by the present application. Figure 2 is a process diagram of the first embodiment of the method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel provided by the present application, specifically including the following steps S101 to step S102.
[0034] Step S101: Control the first discharge port 110 of the first transfer device 10 to contact the first chip unit 20, so as to adhere to the first chip unit 20 through the first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110.
[0035] The first transfer device 10 is provided with a first accommodating chamber 130, and the first discharge port 110 is connected to the first accommodating chamber 130. The first accommodating chamber 130 contains a first color conversion fluid 120. The first chip unit 20 has a light-emitting surface and a pin, and the light-emitting surface is located on the side of the first chip unit 20 away from the pin. A plurality of first chip units 20 are stored on a temporary substrate at intervals, and the pins of the first chip unit 20 are in contact with the temporary substrate. The first chip unit 20 is adhered to the first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110 through the light-emitting surface. The size of the first discharge port 110 is smaller than the surface size of the first chip unit 20. Before adhering the first chip unit 20, the first discharge port 110 of the first transfer device 10 is first moved to align above the center of the light-emitting surface to make the adhesion more stable. The first color conversion fluid 120 is in a semi-solid state and has adhesive properties, and the first discharge port 110 is relatively small (in the order of micrometers), so the intermolecular force or surface tension inside the first color conversion fluid 120 can prevent it from dripping out of the first discharge port 110 due to gravity (similar to capillary phenomenon). Only under the action of external force can the first color conversion fluid 120 drip from the first discharge port 110.
[0036] Step S102: In response to the first transfer device 10 driving the first chip unit 20 to move to the first position where the first chip unit 20 is relative to the first electrode 710 of the target substrate 70, the deformation unit 80 is controlled to compress the first accommodating cavity 130 so that a portion of the first color conversion fluid 120 adhered to the first chip unit 20 is separated from the first color conversion fluid 120 in the first accommodating cavity 130 under the action of the first chip unit 20's own gravity, thereby allowing the first chip unit 20 to approach and be electrically connected to the first electrode 710 under the action of its own gravity.
[0037] The first discharge port 110 protrudes from the first accommodating cavity 130, and the size of the first discharge port 110 is smaller than the first accommodating cavity 130. The first transfer device 10 adheres the first chip unit 20 through the first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110 to move it to the top of the target substrate 70, so that the pins of the first chip unit 20 are aligned with the first electrode 710, that is, the first chip unit 20 is in the first position. It should be noted that the spacing between the two pins of the first chip unit 20 and the spacing between the two pole pieces of the first electrode 710 are set to be the same; there is a certain spacing between the first position and the first electrode 710, so as to provide space for the first chip unit 20 and the first transfer device 10 to separate.
[0038] The deformation units 80 are arranged on both sides of the first accommodation cavity 130, and they can be electrostrictive materials, such as lead zirconate titanate ceramics, ferroelectric materials, etc., so that the deformation units 80 can expand to compress the first accommodation cavity 130 when powered on. Part of the first color conversion fluid 120 adhered to the first chip unit 20 is gradually extruded from the first discharge port 110, reducing the contact area between the first chip unit 20 and the first discharge port 110. Eventually, gravity overcomes the intermolecular force of the first color conversion fluid 120, causing the first chip unit 20 to drive the part of the first color conversion fluid 120 adhered to it to separate from the first transfer device 10 and move vertically onto the first electrode 710, making the pins of the first chip unit 20 contact and electrically connect with the first electrode 710. It should be noted that the spacing distance between the first position and the first electrode 710 is relatively small (in the order of micrometers), preferably the thickness dimension of the first chip unit 20, which ensures that while the first chip unit 20 separates from the first transfer device 10, the pins of the first chip unit 20 can also make good contact with the first electrode 710 (preventing a large deviation between the first chip unit 20 and the first electrode 710 due to an overly long dropping path of the first chip unit 20).
[0039] Through the above implementation manner, the first color conversion fluid 120 passing through the first discharge port 110 adheres to the first chip unit 20, enabling the first transfer device 10 to transfer the first chip unit 20 to the first position opposite the first electrode 710 of the target substrate 70. When the deformation unit 80 compresses the first accommodation cavity 130 to separate part of the first color conversion fluid 120 from the first transfer device 10, the first chip unit 20 also separates from the first transfer device 10. Thus, while using the first transfer device 10 to adhesively transfer the first chip unit 20, the first color conversion fluid 120 is coated on the light-emitting surface of the first chip unit 20 to form a color conversion layer. Since the first discharge port 110 is attached to the first chip unit 20, the alignment between the first color conversion fluid 120 and the first chip unit 20 is ensured, and at the same time, the process manufacturing flow is simplified.
[0040] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 is Figure 1 a schematic flow chart of an embodiment before step S101 in
[0041] Step S301: Process the first color conversion slurry and the adhesion glue to obtain the first color conversion fluid 120.
[0042] The adhesive is mainly used to adhere to the first chip unit 20. The adhesive can be an ultraviolet curable adhesive (UV adhesive). The first color conversion slurry is used to receive the light emitted by the first chip unit 20 and convert it into light of different colors. The first color conversion slurry can be a quantum dot material or a color resist material. The quantum dot material or the color resist material can receive light and emit red light, blue light, green light, yellow light, etc. It should be noted that the first chip unit 20 itself can also emit light, and it can be pre-fabricated as a chip unit that emits red light, blue light, or green light. The proportion of the adhesive in the first color conversion fluid 120 should not be too much or too little. If the proportion is too much, it may affect the light emission conversion effect of the first color conversion fluid 120. If the proportion is too little, the first color conversion fluid 120 may not firmly adhere to the first chip unit 20.
[0043] Step S302: Fill the first color conversion fluid 120 into the first accommodating cavity 130.
[0044] The first color conversion fluid 120 can be extruded and filled into the first accommodating cavity 130 through the first discharge port 110. Since the first color conversion fluid 120 is in a semi-solid state, after filling a certain amount into the first accommodating cavity 130, the first transfer device 10 can be shaken to make the first color conversion fluid 120 fully fill the first accommodating cavity 130. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the first discharge port 110 is also filled with the first color conversion fluid 120, so that the first discharge port 110 can adhere to the first chip unit 20 through the first color conversion fluid 120.
[0045] Further, after performing step S102, return to the step: control the first discharge port 110 of the first transfer device 10 to contact the first chip unit 20, so as to adhere to the first chip unit 20 through the first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110 until each first electrode 710 of the target substrate 70 is connected to the first chip unit 20.
[0046] A plurality of first chip units 20 are stored at intervals on the temporary substrate 90, and a plurality of first electrodes 710 are correspondingly arranged at intervals on the target substrate 70. When the first transfer device 10 transfers the first first chip unit 20 on the temporary substrate 90 to the target substrate 70 and contacts and connects with the first first electrode 710, then it returns from the target substrate 70 to the position of the second first chip unit 20 on the temporary substrate 90, and then transfers the second first chip unit 20 to the target substrate 70 and contacts and connects with the second first electrode 710, and repeats the above steps until each first chip unit 20 on the temporary substrate 90 is connected to each first electrode 710 of the target substrate 70.
[0047] Further, during the process of repeatedly transferring multiple first chip units 20 to the target substrate 70 by using the first transfer device 10, the connection quantity between the first electrodes 710 on the target substrate 70 and the first chip units 20 is detected. If the connection quantity is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the first color conversion fluid 120 is filled into the accommodation cavity.
[0048] Because each time the first transfer device 10 transfers the first chip unit 20 to the target substrate 70, the deformation unit 80 compresses the first accommodation cavity 130, causing part of the first color conversion fluid 120 to separate from the first chip unit 20 along with the first transfer device 10. That is, each time a first chip unit 20 is transferred, part of the first color conversion fluid 120 is consumed. Therefore, when the connection quantity reaches a certain number, there may be too little first color conversion fluid 120 in the first accommodation cavity 130, such that when the deformation unit 80 compresses the first accommodation cavity 130, the first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110 cannot be extruded from the first discharge port 110, or there is too little first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110 to effectively adhere to the first chip unit 20. Therefore, when the connection quantity is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the first color conversion fluid 120 is replenished into the first accommodation cavity 130 to ensure the normal operation of the first transfer device 10; when the connection quantity is less than the preset threshold value, the first color conversion fluid 120 in the first accommodation cavity 130 is sufficient. After the deformation unit 80 compresses the first accommodation cavity 130 and the part of the first color conversion fluid 120 adhered to the first chip unit 20 separates from the first transfer device 10, the first color conversion fluid 120 can automatically fill to the first discharge port 110, enabling the first transfer device 10 to operate normally. The preset threshold value can be 50. Of course, it can also be adjusted to other values according to the situation, such as 100, 200, etc. However, it is necessary to ensure that the first transfer device 10 can operate normally when the connection quantity is less than or equal to the preset threshold value to transfer the first chip unit 20 to the target substrate 70 and the first electrodes 710 are connected normally.
[0049] Because each time the first transfer device 10 transfers the first electrodes 710 to the target substrate 70 and the first electrodes 710 are connected, the deformation unit 80 will work once to separate the first chip unit 20 from the first transfer device 10 and to make the color conversion glue on the surface of the first chip unit 20. Therefore, the connection quantity between the first electrodes 710 and the first chip units 20 can also be obtained through the number of working times of the deformation unit 80.
[0050] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of the second embodiment of the manufacturing method of the light-emitting panel provided by the present application, Figure 5 is a process diagram of the second embodiment of the manufacturing method of the light-emitting panel provided by the present application.
[0051] In some embodiments, a second transfer device 30 is further included. The manufacturing method includes steps S401 to S404. The first transfer device 10 adheres to the first chip unit 20. After the first transfer device 10 transfers the first chip unit 20 and connects it to the first electrode 710, the second transfer device 30 adheres to the second chip unit 40, and the second transfer device 30 transfers the second chip unit 40 and connects it to the second electrode 720.
[0052] Step S401: Control the first discharge port 110 of the first transfer device 10 to contact the first chip unit 20, so as to adhere to the first chip unit 20 through the first color conversion fluid 120 at the first discharge port 110.
[0053] Step S402: In response to the first transfer device 10 driving the first chip unit 20 to move to a first position where the first chip unit 20 is opposite to the first electrode 710 of the target substrate 70, control the deformation unit 80 to compress the first accommodation cavity 130 so that a part of the first color conversion fluid 120 adhered to the first chip unit 20 is separated from the first color conversion fluid 120 in the first accommodation cavity 130 under the action of the self-gravity of the first chip unit 20. Furthermore, the first chip unit 20 approaches and is electrically connected to the first electrode 710 under the action of its own gravity.
[0054] Steps S401 and S402 are equivalent to Figure 1 Steps S101 and S102 shown, and for details, reference may be made to the description of steps S101 and S102 above.
[0055] Step S403: Control the second discharge port 310 of the second transfer device 30 to contact the second chip unit 40, so as to adhere to the second chip unit 40 through the second color conversion fluid 320 at the second discharge port 310. Among them, the second transfer device 30 is provided with a second accommodation cavity 330, the second discharge port 310 communicates with the second accommodation cavity 330, and the second accommodation cavity 330 contains the second color conversion fluid 320.
[0056] Transfer the second chip unit 40 through the second transfer device 30. The principle of adhesively transferring the second chip unit 40 by the second transfer device 30 is the same as that of the first transfer device 10. The difference lies in that the color conversion slurries of the second color conversion fluid 320 and the first color conversion fluid 120 are different, and the structural settings of the second transfer device 30 and the first transfer device 10 are the same. The second color conversion fluid 320 also includes an adhesion glue and a second color conversion slurry. The difference is that the quantum dot material or color resistance material used in the second color conversion slurry is different from that in the first color conversion slurry. The color of the light received and converted by the second color conversion slurry is different from that of the first color conversion slurry. For example, the second color conversion slurry can use a quantum dot material or color resistance material that can convert and emit green light, and the first color conversion slurry can use a quantum dot material or color resistance material that can convert and emit red light. It should be noted that the colors of the light emitted by the first chip unit 20 and the second chip unit 40 can be the same or different. For example, both the first chip unit 20 and the second chip unit 40 are LED chips that emit red light, or the first chip unit 20 and the second chip unit 40 are LED chips that emit green light and blue light respectively. In this embodiment, both the first chip unit 20 and the second chip unit 40 are LED chips that emit blue light.
[0057] Step S404: In response to the second transfer device 30 driving the second chip unit 40 to move to a second position where the second chip unit 40 is opposite to the second electrode 720 of the target substrate 70, control the deformation unit 80 to compress the second accommodation cavity 330 so that a part of the second color conversion fluid 320 adhered to the second chip unit 40 is separated from the second color conversion fluid 320 in the second accommodation cavity 330 under the action of the self-gravity of the second chip unit 40, thereby enabling the second chip unit 40 to approach and be electrically connected to the second electrode 720 under the action of its own gravity.
[0058] Similar to the working principle of the first transfer device 10, the second transfer device 30 adhesively transfers the second chip unit 40 from the temporary substrate 90 to a position above the target substrate 70 and opposite to the second electrode 720, that is, the second position. The deformation unit 80 works to compress the second accommodation cavity 330 so that the second chip unit 40 and a part of the second color conversion fluid 320 adhesively attached thereto are separated from the second transfer device 30 to be electrically connected to the second electrode 720, and the second color conversion fluid 320 is coated thereon synchronously during the process of electrically connecting the second chip unit 40 and the second electrode 720. There are also multiple second chip units 40 and second electrodes 720. After electrically connecting the first second chip unit 40 and the first second electrode 720, the second transfer device 30 returns to the position of the second chip unit on the temporary substrate 90 and transfers it to the target substrate 70 to be electrically connected to the second second electrode 720, and the above steps are repeated until all the second chip units 40 and all the second electrodes 720 are electrically connected. During the repeated transfer process, it is also necessary to detect the number of electrical connections between the second chip unit 40 and the second electrode 720. When the connection number reaches the preset threshold, it is necessary to timely replenish the second color conversion fluid 320 into the second accommodation cavity 330.
[0059] It should be noted that the execution steps of the manufacturing method can be sequentially executed according to the steps S401 to S404 as shown Figure 4 , and in some other embodiments, the execution order of steps S401 to S404 can also be reasonably and flexibly adjusted. For example, in some embodiments, step S401 and step S403 are executed synchronously, and then step S402 and step S404 are executed synchronously, that is, the first transfer device 10 adhesively attaches the first chip unit 20 and the second transfer device 30 adhesively attaches the second chip unit 40 synchronously, and then the first transfer device 10 transfers the first chip unit 20 to be electrically connected to the first electrode 710 and the second transfer device 30 transfers the second chip unit 40 to be electrically connected to the second electrode 720 synchronously.
[0060] For example, in some embodiments, steps S403, S404, S401, and S402 can also be executed first, that is, the second transfer device 30 adhesively attaches the second chip unit 40 first, then the second transfer device 30 transfers the second chip unit 40 to be electrically connected to the second electrode 720, then the first transfer device 10 adhesively attaches the first chip unit 20, and finally the first transfer device 10 transfers the first chip unit 20 to be electrically connected to the first electrode 710.
[0061] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is a process diagram of the third embodiment of the manufacturing method of the light-emitting panel provided by the present application.
[0062] Further, in a state where the first discharge port 110 of the first transfer device 10 contacts the first chip unit 20, the second transfer device 30 is in the second position, and in a state where the second discharge port 310 of the second transfer device 30 contacts the second chip unit 40, the first transfer device 10 is in the first position.
[0063] The first transfer device 10 and the second transfer device 30 can work separately to transfer the first chip unit 20 and the second chip unit 40 respectively, or the first transfer device 10 and the second transfer device 30 can work simultaneously. When the first transfer device 10 and the second transfer device 30 work simultaneously, in order for them to work better, the first transfer device 10 and the second transfer device 30 can work alternately on the temporary substrate 90 and the target substrate 70 to avoid mutual influence between them, especially when there is a space limitation between the first chip unit 20 and the second chip unit 40 or between the first electrode 710 and the second electrode 720.
[0064] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 is a schematic flowchart of the third embodiment of the manufacturing method of the light-emitting panel provided by the present application, Figure 8 is a process diagram of the fourth embodiment of the manufacturing method of the light-emitting panel provided by the present application.
[0065] In some embodiments, a third transfer device 50 is further included. The manufacturing method includes sequentially performing step S701 to step S706, where step S701 and step S702 are equivalent to Figure 1 step S101 and step S102 in Figure 4 , and step S703 and step S704 are equivalent to
[0066] step S403 and step S404 in
[0067] For a specific description, reference can be made to the description of step S101, step S102, step S403 and step S404 above.
[0068] Step S703: Control the second discharge port 310 of the second transfer device 30 to contact the second chip unit 40, so as to adhere to the second chip unit 40 through the second color conversion fluid 320 at the second discharge port 310.
[0069] Step S704: In response to the second transfer device 30 driving the second chip unit 40 to move to a second position where the second chip unit 40 is opposite to the second electrode 720 of the target substrate 70, control the deformation unit 80 to compress the second accommodation cavity 330 so that a part of the second color conversion fluid 320 adhered to the second chip unit 40 is separated from the second color conversion fluid 320 in the second accommodation cavity 330 under the action of the self - gravity of the second chip unit 40, and further enable the second chip unit 40 to approach and be electrically connected to the second electrode 720 under the action of its own gravity.
[0070] Step S705: Control the third discharge port 510 of the third transfer device 50 to contact the third chip unit 60, so as to adhere to the third chip unit 60 through the third color conversion fluid 520 at the third discharge port 510. Among them, the third transfer device 50 is provided with a third accommodation cavity 530, the third discharge port 510 communicates with the third accommodation cavity 530, the third accommodation cavity 530 contains a third color conversion fluid 520, and the color conversion slurries of the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520 are a red conversion slurry, a green conversion slurry, and a blue conversion slurry respectively.
[0071] The structure and working principle of the third transfer device 50 are the same as those of the first transfer device 10 and the second transfer device 30. The third color conversion fluid 520 is processed from an adhesive and a third color conversion slurry (i.e., blue slurry), so that the third color conversion fluid 520 can receive the light emitted by the third chip unit 60 and convert and emit blue light. The third chip unit 60 can also be an LED chip that emits red, green, blue, etc. light. In this application, the third chip unit 60 and the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40 select LED chips that emit the same blue light. At this time, the third color conversion fluid 520 can be composed only of the adhesive and does not require the third color conversion slurry.
[0072] Step S706: In response to the third transfer device 50 driving the third chip unit 60 to move to a third position where the third chip unit 60 is opposite to the third electrode 730 of the target substrate 70, control the deformation unit 80 to compress the third accommodation cavity 530 so that a part of the third color conversion fluid 520 adhered to the third chip unit 60 is separated from the third color conversion fluid 520 in the third accommodation cavity 530 under the action of the self - gravity of the third chip unit 60, and further enable the third chip unit 60 to approach and be electrically connected to the third electrode 730 under the action of its own gravity.
[0073] Similarly, the third accommodation cavity 530 is compressed by the deformation unit 80 to squeeze the third color conversion fluid 520, so that the third chip unit 60 and a part of the third color conversion fluid 520 adhered thereto are separated from the third transfer device 50 under the action of gravity. When the third chip unit 60 is transferred to be electrically connected to the third electrode 730, the third color conversion fluid 520 is coated on its light-emitting surface. There are also multiple third chip units 60 and third electrodes 730. After the first third chip unit 60 and the first third electrode 730 are electrically connected, the third transfer device 50 returns to the position of the second third chip unit 60 on the temporary substrate 90 and transfers it to the target substrate 70 to be electrically connected to the second third electrode 730. The above steps are repeated until all the third chip units 60 and all the third electrodes 730 are electrically connected. Similar to the first transfer device 10 and the second transfer device 30, during the process of the third transfer device 50 repeatedly transferring the third chip unit 60, it is necessary to detect the number of connections between the third chip unit 60 and the third electrode 730. When the number of connections reaches a preset threshold, the third color conversion fluid 520 is replenished into the third accommodation cavity 530.
[0074] It should be noted that the execution steps of the manufacturing method can be executed in sequence according to steps S701 to S706 as shown in Figure 7 . In some other embodiments, the execution order of steps S701 to S706 can also be reasonably and flexibly adjusted. For example, in some embodiments, steps S701, S703, and S705 can be executed synchronously first, and then steps S702, S704, and S706 can be executed synchronously.
[0075] For example, in some embodiments, steps S701, S702, S705, S706, S703, and S704 can also be executed in sequence.
[0076] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 which is a process diagram of the fifth embodiment of the manufacturing method of the light-emitting panel provided by the present application.
[0077] In some embodiments, the target substrate 70 includes at least three target areas, and each target area includes at least one first electrode 710, a second electrode 720, and a third electrode 730. In a state where the first transfer device 10 is located at a first position opposite to the first electrode 710 of the first target area, the second transfer device 30 is located at a second position opposite to the second electrode 720 of the second target area, and the third transfer device 50 is located at a third position opposite to the third electrode 730 of the third target area.
[0078] At this time, it is necessary to transfer the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60 on the temporary substrate 90 to the target substrate 70 and electrically connect them to the first electrode 710, the second electrode 720, and the third electrode 730 respectively. The first transfer device 10, the second transfer device 30, and the third transfer device 50 can work independently, or two of the transfer devices can work, or all three can work synchronously; when all three work synchronously, in order to make them better not affect each other, the target substrate 70 is divided into a first target area 740, a second target area 750, and a third target area 760. The first electrodes 710, the second electrodes 720, and the third electrodes 730 in the three target areas are mutually offset, so that the first transfer device 10, the second transfer device 30, and the third transfer device 50 work offset in the three target areas.
[0079] In some embodiments, the manufacturing method further includes: irradiating the first color conversion fluid 120 with a light source to cure the first color conversion fluid 120 on the first chip unit 20 to form a first color conversion layer; and / or, irradiating the second color conversion fluid 320 with a light source to cure the second color conversion fluid 320 on the second chip unit 40 to form a second color conversion layer; and / or, irradiating the third color conversion fluid 520 with a light source to cure the third color conversion fluid 520 on the third chip unit 60 to form a third color conversion layer.
[0080] The adhesive is usually in a liquid state. Therefore, the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520 still have a certain fluidity. After the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520 spread and cover the light-emitting surfaces of the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60 under the action of gravity and surface tension, the adhesive reacts and is converted into a solid state by irradiating with a light source, so that the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520 are cured to better adhere to the light-emitting surfaces of the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60. It should be noted that the light source type is selected corresponding to the type of the adhesive. The adhesive can only absorb a specific type of light. For example, if the selected adhesive is a UV adhesive, the light source uses ultraviolet light, so that the adhesive can absorb ultraviolet light and cure the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520 to form the first color conversion layer, the second color conversion layer, and the third color conversion layer.
[0081] After irradiating and curing the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520 of the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60 with light, the pins of the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60 are welded and fixed to the first electrode 710, the second electrode 720, and the third electrode 730 respectively; finally, a black resin material is coated on the target substrate 70 to cover the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60 to fabricate a packaging layer, avoiding light crosstalk between chip units and weakening the reflection of ambient light, and at the same time packaging and protecting the chip units.
[0082] In summary, the first chip unit 20, the second chip unit 40, and the third chip unit 60 are adhesively transferred by using the adhesiveness of the first color conversion fluid 120, the second color conversion fluid 320, and the third color conversion fluid 520. After transferring the chip units to the target substrate 70, the deformation unit 80 is controlled to compress the accommodation cavity of the transfer device, so that a part of the color conversion fluid adhered to the chip units is separated from the chip units and the transfer device. When the transfer device transfers the chip units, a color conversion fluid is coated on the surface of the chip units to fabricate a color conversion layer, which greatly simplifies the process flow and effectively improves the alignment between the color conversion layer and the chip units.
