[0080] Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. The first micro light-emitting diode display 10 includes a substrate 102, a driving circuit layer 110, a plurality of blue micro light-emitting diodes 120, a quantum dot layer 130, and a color filter layer 140.
[0081] The substrate 102 can be, for example, a glass substrate for a general display, a flexible substrate, or a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate or the flexible substrate is, for example, a polyimide substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, or an ultra-thin glass, etc.
[0082] The driving circuit layer 110 is located on the substrate 102, and the driving circuit layer 110 is configured to drive the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 to emit light. The driving circuit layer 110 includes a plurality of sub-pixel driving circuits 112, and each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 defines a sub-pixel region 114 on the substrate 102. The plurality of sub-pixel regions 114 form a pixel region 115. For example, Figure 1 It shows that three sub-pixel regions 114 form a pixel region 115. In some embodiments, the driving circuit layer 110 includes a plurality of gate lines (not shown), a plurality of data lines (not shown), and a plurality of thin film transistors (not shown), and each thin film transistor is connected to at least one gate line and one data line. In some embodiments, each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 includes at least one thin film transistor, a portion of a gate line, and a portion of a data line. In other embodiments, each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 includes two thin film transistors, a capacitor (not shown), a portion of a gate line, a portion of a data line, and a portion of a write line (not shown). In some embodiments, the driving circuit layer 110 further includes a plurality of connection electrodes 116, and each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 includes two connection electrodes 116 for connecting the blue micro light-emitting diode 120.
[0083] The blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is located on the driving circuit layer 110, and each blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is connected to one of the sub-pixel driving circuits 112. Each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 is configured to drive the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 to emit blue light, and the wavelength (λmax) of the peak of the blue light spectrum can be between about 400 nm and about 480 nm. In some embodiments, each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 is connected to a blue micro light-emitting diode 120. The dimensional size of the length and / or width of each blue micro light-emitting diode 120 can be about 10 μm to about 70 μm.
[0084] In some embodiments, the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 includes a first electrode 121 and a second electrode 122. The first electrode 121 is, for example, a P electrode (P-electrode), and the second electrode 122 is, for example, an N electrode (N-electrode). The first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are each connected to the corresponding connection electrode 116 in the sub-pixel driving circuit 112.
[0085] Although Figure 1The bottom surface of the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is shown to be flat in [description], but in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 has an asymmetric three-dimensional structure, and the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are disposed on the asymmetric three-dimensional structure. In addition, the upper surface of the sub-pixel driving circuit 112 has a complementary structure substantially complementary to the three-dimensional structure of the blue micro light-emitting diode 120, and the connection electrodes 116 of each sub-pixel driving circuit 112 are located in the complementary structure. When the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is transferred onto the driving circuit layer 110, the three-dimensional structure of the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is fitted and matched with the complementary structure of the sub-pixel driving circuit 112, so that the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 of the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 can be aligned with their respective connection electrodes 116.
[0086] The quantum dot layer 130 is located above the blue micro light-emitting diode 120, and the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is configured to excite the quantum dot layer 130 to emit light. In some embodiments, the quantum dot layer 130 includes a plurality of red light quantum dots, a plurality of green light quantum dots, and a plurality of blue light quantum dots. After the quantum dot layer 130 is excited by blue light, the red light quantum dots, the green light quantum dots, and the blue light quantum dots emit corresponding red light, green light, and blue light. In the quantum dot layer 130, the above various quantum dots are substantially uniformly distributed. In other words, the various quantum dots are mixed to form the quantum dot layer 130. In some embodiments, the quantum dot layer 130 is formed using coating and drying techniques. In other embodiments, the quantum dot layer 130 uses a quantum dot film, and the quantum dot layer 130 is formed by a lamination technique. In some embodiments, the wavelength (λmax) of the peak of the light spectrum emitted by the blue light quantum dots is greater than the wavelength of the peak of the light spectrum emitted by the blue micro light-emitting diode 120. In some embodiments, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the blue light spectrum emitted by the blue light quantum dots is greater than the full width at half maximum of the blue light spectrum emitted by the blue micro light-emitting diode 120. In some embodiments, the particle size of the red light quantum dots is about 5 nm to about 9 nm, the particle size of the green light quantum dots is about 2 nm to about 5 nm, and the particle size of the blue light quantum dots is about 1 nm to about 4 nm. However, in other embodiments, the particle size of the quantum dots depends on different quantum dot materials.
[0087] Figure 2Shows the emission light spectra of different quantum dots after being excited by blue light in the prior art. The first spectrum 11, the second spectrum 12, the third spectrum 13, the fourth spectrum 14, the fifth spectrum 15, and the sixth spectrum 16 are respectively the emission light spectra of quantum dots (QDs) with main peak wavelengths of approximately 460 nm, 520 nm, 580 nm, 610 nm, 660 nm, and 770 nm. In some embodiments, the quantum dot layer 130 contains quantum dots of other emission colors in addition to red, green, and blue quantum dots. For example, the quantum dot layer 130 contains quantum dots that emit the five spectra such as the first spectrum 11, the second spectrum 12, the third spectrum 13, the fourth spectrum 14, and the fifth spectrum 15. Therefore, in some embodiments, the emission light spectrum of the quantum dot layer 130 is a broadband spectrum, covering a range of wavelengths from approximately 400 nm to 750 nm.
[0088] Please refer again to Figure 1 , the color filter layer 140 is located above the quantum dot layer 130. In some embodiments, the color filter layer 140 includes a plurality of red filter layers 142, a plurality of green filter layers 143, and a plurality of blue filter layers 144. In some embodiments, each red filter layer 142, each green filter layer 143, and each blue filter layer 144 respectively correspond to a blue micro light-emitting diode 120. In still other embodiments, the color filter layer 140 further includes a patterned light-shielding layer 141, also known as a black matrix layer, for preventing light interference between adjacent sub-pixels. In some embodiments, the color filter layer 140 is formed above the quantum dot layer 130 by an inkjet printing process. In other embodiments, the color filter layer 140 is pre-formed on another substrate to form a so-called color filter, and then the color filter is disposed above the quantum dot layer 130.
[0089] Existing micro light-emitting diode displays use three different colors of micro light-emitting diodes, namely red, green, and blue, to manufacture the display. In current manufacturing technologies, mass transfer must be performed separately for red, green, and blue micro light-emitting diodes. Therefore, at least three mass transfer processes are required to complete the manufacture of the display, and each mass transfer consumes a large amount of process time. In contrast, according to the embodiments of the present invention, only the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is used, so only one mass transfer is required to manufacture the display, significantly reducing the time required to manufacture the micro light-emitting diode display. In addition, in existing micro light-emitting diode displays, the driving voltages, decay rates, and luminous efficiencies of red, green, and blue micro light-emitting diodes are different, resulting in a more complex driving circuit design. In contrast, according to the embodiments of the present invention, only the blue micro light-emitting diode 120 is used, so the driving circuit is simpler.
[0090] Although the above embodiments describe a micro light-emitting diode display with red, green, and blue primary colors, in other embodiments, the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 may be a display with more than three display primary colors. Figure 3 A top view schematic diagram of the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 in some embodiments is shown. The first micro light-emitting diode display 10 is a six-primary-color display (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan), and the color filter layer 140 includes a plurality of red filter layers 142, a plurality of green filter layers 143, a plurality of blue filter layers 144, a plurality of yellow filter layers 145, a plurality of magenta filter layers 146, and a plurality of cyan filter layers 147. Each of the above filter layers corresponds to a blue micro light-emitting diode 120. Of course, the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 may also be a four-primary-color or five-primary-color display. In addition to the red filter layer 142, the green filter layer 143, and the blue filter layer 144, the color filter layer 140 further includes one or more of the yellow filter layer 145, the magenta filter layer 146, or the cyan filter layer 147.
[0091] As described above, existing micro light-emitting diode displays use micro light-emitting diodes with different emission colors, and mass transfer must be performed on micro light-emitting diodes of different colors separately. When the display requires more display primary colors, it will inevitably cause greater difficulties in the manufacturing process. In addition, the drive circuit design of existing micro light-emitting diode displays will also become very complex. In contrast, according to the embodiments of the present invention, a micro light-emitting diode display with more display primary colors can be easily completed.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 1 , in various different embodiments, the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 further includes a plurality of positioning structures 150. The positioning structures 150 are located on the drive circuit layer 110, and the positioning structures 150 are located between two adjacent blue micro light-emitting diodes 120. In still other embodiments, the positioning structures 150 overlap with the patterned light-shielding layer 141 in the direction F perpendicular to the substrate 102. In other embodiments, the height 150H of each positioning structure 150 is less than or substantially equal to the height 120H of each blue micro light-emitting diode 120. The positioning structures 150 are used to assist in positioning the blue micro light-emitting diodes 120 on the drive circuit layer 110.
[0093] Figure 4 A top view schematic diagram of the positioning structure 150 in some embodiments is shown. The positioning structure 150 includes a plurality of first-direction positioning structures 151. Specifically, the drive circuit layer 110 (labeled in Figure 1)Define a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 that are perpendicular to each other. The length direction of each first direction positioning structure 151 is substantially parallel to the first direction D1. Each first direction positioning structure 151 is located between two adjacent blue micro light-emitting diodes 120. More specifically, it is located between two adjacent blue micro light-emitting diodes 120 in the second direction D2.
[0094] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , the positioning structure 150 further includes a plurality of second direction positioning structures 152. The length direction of each second direction positioning structure 152 is substantially parallel to the second direction D2. Each second direction positioning structure 152 is located between two adjacent blue micro light-emitting diodes 120. More specifically, it is located between two adjacent blue micro light-emitting diodes 120 in the first direction D1.
[0095] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 further includes a first protective layer 161. The first protective layer 161 covers the positioning structure 150 and the blue micro light-emitting diodes 120. The first protective layer 161 is also referred to as a packaging layer, which is used to protect the driving circuit layer 110 and the blue micro light-emitting diodes 120 from the influence of oxygen and / or moisture in the air. The quantum dot layer 130 is located on the first protective layer 161. The first protective layer 161 is a material that is visible light transmissive. The light emitted by the blue micro light-emitting diodes 120 can penetrate the first protective layer 161 and reach the quantum dot layer 130. In some embodiments, the first protective layer 161 includes polymer materials such as epoxy, silicones, polyester, polyurethane, silicone resins, or the like.
[0096] In some embodiments, the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 further includes a second protective layer 162, and the second protective layer 162 is located between the quantum dot layer 130 and the color filter layer 140. In some embodiments, the quantum dot layer 130 is formed by laminating a quantum dot film, and the second protective layer 162 is one of the layer structures of the quantum dot film, which is used to protect the quantum dot layer 130 from the influence of oxygen and / or moisture in the air, or to avoid adverse reactions with the color filter layer 140 above it. In other embodiments, the second protective layer 162 is formed by coating or deposition techniques after the quantum dot layer 130 is formed. In some embodiments where the color filter layer 140 is formed by an inkjet process, different surface tensions or surface properties can be provided by the second protective layer 162 to reduce the diffusion of inkjet color patches, which helps to improve the yield of forming the color filter layer 140 using the inkjet process. In some embodiments, the second protective layer 162 includes inorganic materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide or the like, or organic passivation layers such as acrylics, epoxy resins, parylene, polyester, polyurethane, silicone resins or similar materials. In some embodiments, the thickness of the second protective layer 162 is less than the thickness of the first protective layer 161.
[0097] In some embodiments, the first micro light-emitting diode display 10 further includes a third protective layer 163, and the third protective layer 163 is used to protect the color filter layer 140. In some embodiments, the third protective layer 163 includes one or more of the group consisting of glass, silicone resins, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylic, polyurethane, anti-reflective coating or oleophobic coating.
[0098] Figure 6 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a second micro light-emitting diode display 10a of certain embodiments is shown. The structure of the second micro light-emitting diode display 10a is the same as that described above with respect to Figure 1The first micro-LED display 10 is similar to the first micro-LED display 10. For the purpose of simplicity, only the differences between the two are described below. In the second micro-LED display 10a, the quantum dot layer 130 includes a plurality of quantum dot blocks 132 and a plurality of spacer blocks 134. The quantum dot blocks 132 include a plurality of quantum dots, and the spacer blocks 134 do not include quantum dots. The quantum dot blocks 132 and the spacer blocks 134 are substantially located in the same plane, and each quantum dot block 132 overlaps with each red filter layer 142, each green filter layer 143, or each blue filter layer 144 in the direction F perpendicular to the substrate 102.
[0099] In some embodiments, each spacer block 134 and the second protection layer 162 are made of substantially the same material. In other embodiments, each spacer block 134 is substantially made of a material that is not transparent to visible light. For example, the spacer block 134 includes a black pigment that absorbs visible light. In the above embodiments, the spacer block 134 can be used to block light interference between two adjacent pixels. In some embodiments, each spacer block 134 overlaps with each positioning structure 150 and / or the patterned light shielding layer 141 in the direction F perpendicular to the substrate 102. Figure 6 In the second micro LED display 10 a shown, the height 150H of each positioning structure 150 is substantially the same as the height 120H of each blue micro LED 120 .
[0100] Other features and implementations of the second micro LED display 10a may be, for example, Figure 1 Features and implementation of the first micro-LED display 10.
[0101] Figure 7 The cross-sectional view of the third micro-LED display 10b of some embodiments is shown. The structure of the third micro-LED display 10b is similar to that of the above-mentioned Figure 1 The first micro-LED display 10 is similar to the first micro-LED display 10. For the purpose of simplicity, only the differences between the two are described below. In the third micro-LED display 10b, the height 150H of each positioning structure 150 is greater than the height 120H of each blue micro-LED 120. In some embodiments, the upper surface 120A of each blue micro-LED 120 and the first side surface 155B and the second side surface 156B of two adjacent positioning structures 150 form a receiving space C, and the quantum dot layer 130 is located in the receiving space C. In other words, the quantum dot layer 130 includes a plurality of quantum dot blocks 132 corresponding to each sub-pixel area 114, and two adjacent quantum dot blocks 132 are separated by the positioning structure 150. In some embodiments, the quantum dot layer 130 is obtained by coating a liquid containing quantum dots in the receiving space C above each blue micro-LED 120 and then drying it, so as to obtain the quantum dot layer 130 located in the receiving space C.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first protective layer 161 covers the positioning structure 150, the blue micro light-emitting diode 120, and the quantum dot layer 130. In some embodiments, the second protective layer 162 is located between the first protective layer 161 and the color filter layer 140.
[0103] In still other embodiments, the positioning structure 150 is substantially made of a material that does not allow visible light to penetrate and has a relatively high height, which helps to block light interference between adjacent pixels.
[0104] The first micro light-emitting diode display 10, the second micro light-emitting diode display 10a, or the third micro light-emitting diode display 10b described in any of the foregoing embodiments can be applied to an asymmetric pixel structure or a structure in which a pixel includes four or more sub-pixels. In the above applications, compared with the existing micro light-emitting diode display technology, the embodiments of the present invention provide more outstanding technical advantages. Please refer to Figure 8 , which shows a top view schematic diagram of four sub-pixels of red (R), green (G), blue (B), and green (G). In Figure 8 , the areas of the red sub-pixel (R) and the blue sub-pixel (B) are each larger than the areas of the green sub-pixels (G). If the existing micro light-emitting diode display technology is used, in addition to having to manufacture micro light-emitting diodes of different sizes, when performing mass transfer, it is also necessary to transfer micro light-emitting diodes of different sizes, which obviously causes greater trouble to the manufacturing process. In contrast, the embodiments of the present invention can be easily completed. For example, by arranging a blue micro light-emitting diode in each of the red (R), green (G), blue (B), and green (G) sub-pixels and then changing the planar design of the color filter layer, the display effect of the red (R), green (G), blue (B), and green (G) four sub-pixels shown in Figure 8 can be achieved.
