It has become an important part of the LED industry chain, and LED display products, represented by LED displays, have been widely used in various fields of society and the economy. Driven by the application market, transparent LED displays that can enrich visual content without obstructing the view have become a research hotspot. However, existing LED devices used to make transparent LED displays simply encapsulate the LED light-emitting chips separately on a transparent substrate and then connect them to the driver IC using transparent conductive lines. This results in high packaging costs, and the external driver IC chip is susceptible to external environmental influences, leading to poor reliability. Furthermore, the separate structure requires consideration of the layout of the driver IC chip and the LED light-emitting chips during the manufacturing of transparent LED displays, resulting in a larger spacing between the LED devices and potentially lower pixel density in the finished transparent LED display.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To more clearly illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. A clear and complete description will be provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] Examples of embodiments of this utility model Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a transparent device with an embedded IC includes: an insulating transparent substrate 1, which is made of a transparent material, such as transparent glass or a transparent polyimide substrate. On the front side of the transparent substrate 1, a driver IC 3, transparent conductive lines electrically connected to the driver IC 3, and transparent RGB three-primary-color LED flip chips 6 are encapsulated by an insulating transparent adhesive layer 2. In other words, the driver IC 3 and LED flip chips 6 are first mounted on the front side of the transparent substrate 1, and then encapsulated using the transparent adhesive layer 2. The lines connecting the driver IC 3 are transparent conductive lines. Thus, the transparent substrate 1, conductive lines, LED flip chips 6, and insulating transparent adhesive layer 2 are all transparent structures, achieving maximum transparency of the LED device and improving the overall light transmittance of the display screen when the lights are off. The flip chips improve heat dissipation and luminous efficiency. The driver IC 3 and LED flip chips 6 are encapsulated together, simplifying the connection structure between them. When manufacturing a transparent LED display screen, it is not necessary to consider the driver IC. The mounting positions corresponding to LED flip chips 6 and 3 enable miniaturization of the device and improve the pixel density of the LED transparent display. In this case, LED flip chips 6 include a red LED flip chip 60, a green LED flip chip 61, and a blue LED flip chip 62. These three chips are connected in parallel to the driver IC 3. The conductive lines include a connection terminal 4 exposed outside the insulating transparent adhesive layer 2, connected to the pins of the driver IC 3, and an internal conductive line 5 encapsulated within the insulating transparent adhesive layer 2. The exposed connection terminal 4 is used for connection in the display circuitry during display fabrication. The LED flip chips 6 are electrically connected to the driver IC 3 through the internal conductive line 5. Here, the internal conductive line is a transparent flexible circuit board or a transparent ITO film circuit. The ITO film circuit is formed by sputtering strip-shaped ITO film onto the transparent substrate 1, creating a connection line between the ITO film and the driver IC 3.
[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 2As shown, connection terminal 4 includes a first connection terminal 40 connected to the VDD pin of driver IC 3, a second connection terminal 41 connected to the GND pin of driver IC 3, an input connection terminal 42 connected to the input pin of driver IC 3, and an output connection terminal 43 connected to the output pin of driver IC 3. This means that the first connection terminal 40 is the VDD terminal, the second connection terminal 41 is the GND terminal, the input connection terminal 42 is the D1 terminal, and the output connection terminal 43 is the D0 terminal. During display production, multiple devices can be arranged in a matrix. Then, according to different requirements, the D0 terminal of one device in the same row or column can be connected to the D1 terminal of another adjacent device in the same row or column, and so on. At this time, the LED flip chip 6 is placed between the VDD pin and the GND pin of driver IC 3. To facilitate the connection of components in the display circuit, the first connection terminal 40 and the second connection terminal 41 are diagonally arranged on the back of the transparent substrate 1. Each of the input connection terminal 42 and the output connection terminal 43 has one terminal, forming the four vertices of a quadrilateral with the first connection terminal 40 and the second connection terminal 41. In other words, the input connection terminal 42 and the output connection terminal 43 are also located on the back of the transparent substrate 1, forming the four vertices of a quadrilateral with the first connection terminal 40 and the second connection terminal 41. Regarding their connection structure with the driver IC 3, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, a substrate through-hole or substrate slot 10 for setting conductive lines is provided on the transparent substrate 1. That is, a substrate through-hole is provided on the transparent substrate 1 that penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the transparent substrate 1, and a connection end 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the transparent substrate 1, that is, the back surface of the transparent substrate 1. Then, the driver IC 3 is connected to the connection end 4 by using the internal conductive lines 5 provided in the substrate through-hole; or a substrate slot 10 with upper and lower openings is provided on the side wall of the transparent substrate 1, and the connection end 4 on the bottom surface of the transparent substrate 1 is connected to the driver IC 3 by using the internal conductive lines 5 provided in the substrate slot 10. When a transparent flexible circuit board is used for the conductive circuit, the flexible circuit board is installed in the corresponding substrate through-hole or substrate slot 10. When the transparent adhesive is used to encapsulate and form an insulating transparent adhesive layer 2, part of the transparent adhesive will flow into the substrate through-hole or substrate slot 10, making the structure of the insulating transparent adhesive layer 2 on the transparent substrate 1 more firm. When a transparent ITO film circuit is used for the conductive circuit, a substrate slot 10 is set on the side wall of the transparent substrate 1, and then an ITO film is sputtered on the slot wall of the substrate slot 10 and the front side of the transparent substrate.
[0022] A further improvement is the inclusion of a memory within the driver IC 3, which stores the address information of the driver IC 3. In this way, in the manufactured display screen, the controller assigns corresponding address information to each device and stores that address information in the memory. This means that each LED in the display screen has a unique address, enabling the controller to individually control each LED. Therefore, regardless of whether any LEDs on the board fail, it will not affect the display of other normally functioning LEDs.
[0023] As a further improvement, a substrate groove (not shown in the figure) for mounting the driver IC 3 is provided on the front side of the transparent substrate 1. After the driver IC 3 is placed in the substrate groove, the driver IC 3 is lower than the LED flip chip 6 on the front side of the transparent substrate 1, so as not to block the light output of the LED flip chip 6.
[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown, a transparent Zener diode 7 electrically connected to the driver IC 3 is also encapsulated on the front side of the transparent substrate 1. The transparent Zener diode 7 is also electrically connected to the driver IC 3 through the internal conductive line 5. By utilizing the high voltage withstand capability of the Zener diode 7 in the reverse bias state, a large amount of current can be allowed to flow in reverse when a specific reverse voltage (Zener voltage) is reached, thereby keeping the voltage through the device in a stable state and increasing the device's anti-static capability.
[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
