[0002] With the continuous development of digitalization and intelligence, the display functions of display devices are gradually shifting from traditional displays to digital and personalized displays. Correspondingly, the performance requirements for display devices are also gradually increasing. Existing MIP (Mini / Micro LED in Package) full-color devices use a mass transfer process to selectively arrange the red, green, and blue chips on a carrier board. The chip electrodes are then amplified and connected through fan-out packaging technology, making them compatible with the subsequent PCB board die bonding process. These devices are manufactured using a mass transfer process to selectively arrange the light-emitting chips on the carrier board. Wire bonding is performed through a rewiring process, and the chip electrodes are then amplified and connected through fan-out packaging technology, making them compatible with the subsequent PCB board die bonding process. However, the existing device structure and manufacturing process have significant shortcomings. After the light-emitting chips are arranged on the carrier board through the mass transfer process, the rewiring process is cumbersome and complex, resulting in a complex device structure, a tedious manufacturing process, and increased manufacturing costs.

[0050] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] In the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as "include" or "have" are intended to indicate the presence of features, numbers, steps, behaviors, components, parts or their combinations disclosed in this specification, and are not intended to exclude the possibility that one or more other features, numbers, steps, behaviors, components, parts or their combinations exist or are added.

[0052] It should also be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an LED full-color device, which includes a color conversion layer, a bonding layer and a chip array stacked in sequence, and the color conversion layer and the chip array are bonded together based on the bonding layer; the color conversion layer includes a plurality of quantum dot color conversion structures, and any one of the quantum dot color conversion structures includes a light conversion layer; the chip array includes a buffer layer, an N-type semiconductor layer, a multi-quantum well layer, a P-type semiconductor layer and an ITO conductive layer stacked in sequence, and a plurality of chip units are formed on the buffer layer, the N-type semiconductor layer, the multi-quantum well layer, the P-type semiconductor layer and the ITO conductive layer; the positions of the plurality of chip units and the plurality of quantum dot color conversion structures are arranged correspondingly in the vertical direction.

[0055] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the LED full-color device in the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 The exploded structure diagram of the LED full-color device in the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 The surface structure diagram of the LED full-color device in Example 1 of the present invention is shown. The LED full-color device includes a color conversion layer 1, a bonding layer 2 and a chip array 3 stacked in sequence. The color conversion layer 1 and the chip array 3 are bonded together based on the bonding layer 2.

[0056] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the color conversion layer 1 includes a plurality of quantum dot color conversion structures, and any one of the quantum dot color conversion structures includes a light conversion layer.

[0057] Specifically, the color conversion layer refers to the technology that uses QDCC (Quantum Dot Color Converter) color film technology to directly form quantum dots into red and green sub-pixels, replacing the color filter film. Blue light OLED or blue light LED is used as the excitation light source to excite the red and green quantum dots, converting the blue light into red and green light. The three primary colors of RGB can be realized without the use of color filter films, thereby realizing full-color display.

[0058] Furthermore, the quantum dot color conversion structure further includes a light filtering layer and a protective layer, and the light filtering layer, the light conversion layer and the protective layer are stacked in sequence.

[0059] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the color conversion layer 1 includes two quantum dot color conversion structures.

[0060] Furthermore, the plurality of quantum dot color conversion structures include a red light quantum dot color conversion structure 11 and a green light quantum dot color conversion structure 12 .

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two quantum dot color conversion structures include a red light quantum dot color conversion structure 11 and a green light quantum dot color conversion structure 12;

[0063] Furthermore, the red light filter layer 111 is a red light filter or a red light filter coating, and the green light filter layer 121 is a green light filter or a green light filter layer;

[0064] The red light conversion layer 112 is a red light quantum dot layer, and the green light conversion layer 122 is a green light quantum dot layer;

[0065] The red light protection layer 113 and the green light protection layer 123 are water- and oxygen-blocking protection layers.

[0066] It should be noted that the area of ​​the light conversion layer of the green quantum dot color conversion structure 13 is larger than the area of ​​the light conversion layer of the red quantum dot color conversion structure 11 .

[0067] Here, since the conversion efficiency of the green light quantum dot layer is relatively low, its area needs to be larger than that of the red light quantum dot layer to ensure balanced light output.

[0068] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the color conversion layer 1 further includes a blue light filter structure 13 , and the blue light filter structure 13 includes a blue light filter layer 131 , a transparent photoresist layer 132 , and a blue light protection layer 133 stacked in sequence.

[0069] A blue light filtering structure and a transparent photoresist layer are set here because the GaN gallium nitride vertical structure chip used emits blue light. Therefore, only red light conversion layer and green light conversion layer need to be set to convert them into red light and green light. The blue light emitted by the chip only needs to be filtered.

[0070] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the color conversion layer 1 also includes a transparent substrate 14, which is pressed onto the surface of the light filtering layer of the quantum dot color conversion structure, including the surfaces of the red light filter layer 111 and the green light filter layer 121, and pressed onto the surface of the blue light filter layer 131 of the blue light filter structure 13.

[0071] Specifically, the transparent substrate 14 is used to carry the plurality of quantum dot color conversion structures and the blue light filtering structure.

[0072] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the color conversion layer 1 further includes a first encapsulation layer 15 , and the first encapsulation layer 15 covers the plurality of quantum dot color conversion structures and the blue light filtering structure.

[0073] Furthermore, the color of the first encapsulation layer 15 is black, which can protect the quantum dot color conversion structure while increasing the device's light output contrast and preventing interference from side light.

[0074] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the material of the bonding layer 2 is transparent adhesive, the refractive index is less than 2 (GaN refractive index > 2, the bonding layer refractive index must be less than the GaN refractive index), the thickness is 2um-3um, and can be one or more values ​​of 2um, 2.2um, 2.5um, 2.8um, 3um.

[0075] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the chip array 3 includes a buffer layer 31, an N-type semiconductor layer 32, a multi-quantum well layer 33, a P-type semiconductor layer 34 and an ITO conductive layer 35 stacked in sequence, and a number of chip units are formed on the buffer layer 31, the N-type semiconductor layer 32, the multi-quantum well layer 33, the P-type semiconductor layer 34 and the ITO conductive layer 35.

[0076] Specifically, the buffer layer 31 is a U-type GaN layer, the N-type semiconductor layer 32 is an N-type GaN layer, the multi-quantum well layer 33 is an MQW (Multiple Quantum Well) layer, and the P-type semiconductor layer 34 is a P-type GaN layer.

[0077] Furthermore, the plurality of chip units are arranged in a matrix.

[0078] More, such as Figure 1 As shown, three P-pole chip units 4 and one N-pole chip unit 5 are formed on the chip array 3 .

[0079] Furthermore, the ITO conductive layer is a thin film made of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), which has transparent and conductive properties.

[0080] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the P-pole chip unit 4 includes a P-electrode 41 and a first insulating layer 42 , the P-electrode 41 is arranged on the top surface of the P-pole chip unit 4 , and the first insulating layer 42 is covered on the side wall of the P-pole chip unit 4 .

[0081] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the N-pole chip unit 5 includes an N-electrode 51 and a second insulating layer 52, the N-electrode 51 is arranged on the top surface of the N-pole chip unit 5, the second insulating layer 52 is covered on the side wall of the N-pole chip unit 5, and on one side of the N-pole chip unit 5, the N-electrode 51 is covered on the second insulating layer 52.

[0082] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the chip array 3 further includes several P-pole pin electrodes 43 and several N-pole pin electrodes 53, the P-pole pin electrodes 43 are formed on the top surface of the P-electrode 41, and the N-pole pin electrodes 53 are arranged on the top surface of the N-electrode 51.

[0083] Specifically, the full-color LED device in the embodiment of the present invention includes three P-pole pin electrodes 43 and one N-pole pin electrode 53 , which are respectively disposed on the top surfaces of three P-electrodes 41 and one N-electrode 51 .

[0084] Furthermore, the P-pole pin electrodes 43 and the N-pole pin electrodes 53 are arranged in a matrix.

[0085] Furthermore, the P-pole pin electrode 43 and the N-pole pin electrode 53 are pin electrodes for communicating with external signals.

[0086] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, a plurality of first grooves are opened in the N-type semiconductor layer 32 , and the plurality of first grooves are filled with an optical waveguide blocking layer 36 .

[0087] Specifically, the optical waveguide blocking layer 36 is a metal grid.

[0088] An optical waveguide blocking layer is provided here, which can serve as an interconnection path between the P electrode 41 of the P-pole chip unit 4 and the N electrode 51 of the N-pole chip unit 5 to achieve the function of current uniformity, and at the same time realize the light blocking function, blocking the lateral propagation of light in the N-type semiconductor layer 32, and reducing the optical crosstalk between chips.

[0089] It should be noted that the N-electrode 51 extends on the sidewall of the second insulating layer 52 and is connected to the optical waveguide blocking layer 36 .

[0090] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, a plurality of second wire grooves are opened in the buffer layer 31 , and explosion relief channels 37 are formed in the plurality of second wire grooves.

[0091] Specifically, the explosion relief channel 37 is filled with bonding glue.

[0092] Here we consider setting up an explosion-proof channel in the buffer layer to dredge and discharge the gas generated when GaN decomposes or changes phase during the laser stripping process, reduce the damage caused by laser stripping to the chip, and improve the laser stripping yield. Subsequently, bonding glue is filled in the explosion-proof channel to avoid the cross-light problem caused by large-angle light emitting to adjacent pixels.

[0093] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the full-color LED device further includes a second packaging layer 6 , which covers the chip array 3 .

[0094] It should be noted that the P-pole pin electrode 43 and the N-pole pin electrode 53 protrude out of the second packaging layer 6 .

Similarly, one end of the N-pole pin electrode 53 is buried in the opening of the second packaging layer 6 and is connected to the N-electrode 51, and the other end extends out of the second packaging layer 6 and is exposed to the outside.

[0096] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, a metal strengthening layer 61 is provided on the second packaging layer 6 .

[0097] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The top view of the full-color LED device in the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. A metal strengthening layer 61 in one area is provided on the second packaging layer 6 .

[0098] A metal strengthening layer is provided here. When the LED full-color device is subsequently laminated, the ejector pin of the die bonding machine can act on the device through the metal strengthening layer 61 to prevent damage to other parts of the device.

[0099] It should be noted that the metal strengthening layer 61 needs to be provided in the area of ​​the second packaging layer 6 except the P-pole pin electrode 44 and the N-pole pin electrode 54 to prevent damage to the P-pole pin electrode 44 and the N-pole pin electrode 54 .

[0100] Preferably, the metal strengthening layer 61 is arranged at the center of the second packaging layer 6, so that when the film group is subsequently attached, the force exerted by the device on the ejector pins of the die bonder is more uniform.
