[0205] Further, the microlens has an upper curvature portion and a lower spacer portion.

[0206] Further, the height of the lower spacer portion of the microlens is 0.2 to 3 micrometers; and / or

[0207] the height of the upper curvature portion of the microlens is 0.5 to 2 micrometers; and / or

[0208] the spherical width of the microlens is 3 to 4 micrometers.

[0209] Further, the microlens is a positive hemispherical shape.

[0210] Further, the material of the microlens is silicon oxide or silicon nitride or silicon carbide or titanium oxide or zirconium oxide or aluminum oxide.

[0211] The present invention also provides a fifth display panel, including a fifth micro light-emitting diode chip.

[0212] The technical solution provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0213] 1. The first type of micro light-emitting diode chip provided by the present invention has adjacent microlenses spaced apart from each other, which can significantly avoid the optical crosstalk between adjacent micro light-emitting diodes. This is because by spacing the microlenses of adjacent micro light-emitting diodes apart from each other, the light of adjacent micro light-emitting diodes can be blocked from intrusion through the gap. On the contrary, the light that would originally enter the adjacent micro light-emitting diode at the connection of the microlenses is refracted in the desired direction at the gap. Thus, the luminous brightness of each micro light-emitting diode display chip can also be improved, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the micro light-emitting diode.

[0214] 2. The second type of micro light-emitting diode chip provided by the present invention has adjacent microlenses spaced apart from each other, and the bottom of this spacing is higher than the top of the light-emitting mesa. In this way, all the light emitted upward will not enter the adjacent micro light-emitting diode, and the light emitted sideways will be reflected by the current spreading structures on both sides, so that all the light can be emitted from the corresponding microlenses. In addition, the shorter spacing will be beneficial to the simplification of the microlens forming process.

[0215] 3. The third type of micro light-emitting diode chip provided by the present invention has a connecting portion and a gap on the side of adjacent microlenses, and the gap is located above the connecting portion and the bottom of the gap is lower than the top of the light-emitting mesa. Thus, the light emitted sideways can be significantly suppressed from intruding into the adjacent micro light-emitting diode. This is particularly advantageous when a spacer is provided to increase the distance between the microlens and the light-emitting mesa (for example, so that the focal point of the microlens falls on the light-emitting mesa), because in this case, the side is extended, and the longer gap between the sides of the microlenses can significantly suppress the light in the side direction from intruding into the adjacent micro light-emitting diode.

[0216] 4. The fourth type of micro light-emitting diode chip provided by the present invention has adjacent microlenses spaced apart from each other on the side to form a gap, and the gap is a closed air gap. Moreover, the air gap can be filled with a low refractive index gas (that is, the refractive index of the gas in the air gap is lower than that of the microlens), such as air. In this way, the light entering the air gap from the microlens will undergo total internal reflection when the incident angle is greater than the critical angle, suppressing its entry into the air gap, and thus suppressing its entry into the adjacent micro light-emitting diode, thereby suppressing optical crosstalk.

[0217] 5. The fifth type of micro light-emitting diode chip provided by the present invention has a gap provided in the microlens, and the intrusion into the adjacent micro light-emitting diode can be suppressed through the gap, thereby suppressing optical crosstalk. For example, the gap can be arranged between the light-emitting mesa and the current spreading structure, or can be arranged at the connection between two microlenses, such as between the forked peaks of the current spreading structure. Thus, the position for preventing optical crosstalk can be flexibly arranged in the microlens.

[0218] 6. In addition, for the micro light-emitting diode chip provided by the present invention, a current spreading structure capable of reflecting light is arranged between the micro light-emitting diodes, which can avoid the optical crosstalk between adjacent micro light-emitting diodes. In addition, the current spreading structure can reflect the light emitted by the micro light-emitting diodes, improve the luminous brightness of the micro light-emitting diode display chip, and thus improve the light extraction efficiency of the micro light-emitting diodes.

The microlens 102 is arranged on the upper surface of the micro light-emitting diode. Adjacent microlenses 102 are spaced apart between the micro light-emitting diodes 101, and the spacing between adjacent microlenses is from 0 to 1 micrometer.

[0249] The size of each micro light-emitting diode chip does not exceed 1 centimeter, preferably not exceeding 5 millimeters. The micro light-emitting diodes are formed in an array in the micro light-emitting diode display chip, and the resolution is, for example, 720*480, 640*480, 1920*1080, 1280*720, 2K or 4K. The diameter of the micro light-emitting diode structure is at the nanometer level, for example, 20 nm to 100 nm. Each micro light-emitting diode can form at least a part of the pixel element on the micro light-emitting diode display chip.

[0250] For convenience, "upward" is used to indicate away from the driving backplane 108, "downward" indicates toward the driving backplane 108, and other directional terms such as top, bottom, above, below, directly below, beneath, etc. are interpreted accordingly. In one embodiment, the driving backplane 108 includes a substrate, a driving circuit, and driving electrodes 109. Each micro light-emitting diode corresponds to one driving electrode, and the driving electrodes 109 are electrically connected to the bonding layer 110.

By arranging the current spreading structure 103 to surround the micro light-emitting diode in an electrical contact manner and electrically connecting it to the top conductive layer 107, the electrical contact area between the current spreading structure 103 and the micro light-emitting diode can be significantly increased, so that the active layer (light-emitting layer) of the micro light-emitting diode can emit light more uniformly, effectively avoiding the situation that only the electrical contact part or its vicinity emits light or the light emission brightness of the electrical contact part or its vicinity is too high.

[0270] Figure 3 Shows a top view schematic diagram of the current spreading structure of the first micro light-emitting diode chip according to an embodiment of the present invention. AsFigure 3 As shown, the bottoms of adjacent current spreading structures 103 are connected, and all the current spreading structures are integrated into a whole. Figure 3 In [description], the top view shape (i.e., cross-sectional shape) of the micro light-emitting diode is circular, and the top view shape of the overall current spreading structure is the remaining grid shape after removing the circle. In one embodiment, the top view shape of the micro light-emitting diode may also be other suitable shapes, such as rectangle, square, or regular polygon, etc., and the top view shape of the overall current spreading structure is the remaining shape after removing the other suitable shape, such as the remaining grid shape after removing rectangle, square, or polygon.
