Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Micro-LED displays, and in particular to a vertically stacked three-color full-color Micro-LED structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of display technology, Micro-LED has emerged as a leading technology in next-generation display devices due to its superior performance. Micro-LED displays offer numerous advantages, including high efficiency, high brightness, high reliability, energy saving, and miniaturization. As a result, they have become an important display technology for future applications in consumer electronics, wearable devices, automotive displays, and augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) devices. Compared to traditional OLED and LCD display technologies, Micro-LED has significant advantages in brightness, contrast, response time, and power consumption, and is particularly competitive in areas such as sunlight visibility, screen lifespan, and color saturation.

[0003] To achieve full-color display in Micro-LED displays, precise integration of red, green, and blue (RGB) Micro-LED chips is required. The current mainstream pixel arrangement is blue-green-green-red (BGRG). This structure means that each full-color pixel is composed of four monochrome Micro-LED devices. Even though the size of Micro-LED devices is already extremely small, considering the composition of full-color pixels, the size of each pixel still far exceeds the area of ​​a single device, thus reducing the pixel density (PPI) of the display device and limiting the application potential of Micro-LED in high-resolution scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a small-area, high-resolution vertically stacked three-color full-color Micro-LED structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vertically stacked three-color full-color Micro-LED structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a vertically stacked three-color full-color Micro-LED structure, including a driving circuit. A first chip, a second chip, and a third chip are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on one side of the driving circuit along its length. The first chip is longer than the second chip, and the second chip is longer than the third chip. This size-differentiated design allows the electrode of each chip to be directly and vertically connected to the driving circuit at the bottom, eliminating the need for complex electrode extension and connection processes. This greatly simplifies the device fabrication process and reduces manufacturing costs and process difficulty.

[0007] Preferably, the first chip is a blue light chip, the second chip is a green light chip, and the third chip is a red light chip. The stacking order of the chips is determined according to their wavelengths. The red light chip, which has the longest wavelength, is placed at the bottom of the structure, followed by the green light chip and the blue light chip. This vertical stacking order can effectively reduce the impact of high-energy photons from blue or green light on the lower red light chip.

[0008] Preferably, the first chip has a first PN electrode step, and a first electrode post extending in the direction close to the driving circuit is provided in the first PN electrode step. One end of the first electrode post is connected to the first chip, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit. The first chip has a second electrode post extending in the direction close to the driving circuit at the end away from the first PN electrode step. One end of the second electrode post is connected to the first chip, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit.

[0009] Preferably, the second chip has a second PN electrode step, and a third post extending in the direction close to the driving circuit is provided in the second PN electrode step. One end of the third post is connected to the second chip, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit. The second chip has a fourth post extending in the direction close to the driving circuit at the end away from the second PN electrode step. One end of the fourth post is connected to the second chip, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit.

[0010] Preferably, the third chip has a third PN electrode step, and a fifth electrode extending in the direction close to the driving circuit is provided in the third PN electrode step. One end of the fifth electrode is connected to the third chip, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit. The third chip has a sixth electrode extending in the direction close to the driving circuit on the side away from the third PN electrode step. One end of the sixth electrode is connected to the third chip, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit.

[0011] Preferably, insulating material is filled between the first chip, the second chip, the third chip and the driving circuit. The insulating material not only isolates each chip to prevent short circuits, but also provides support for each chip, improving the overall structural strength and thus enhancing the long-term reliability of the device.

[0012] Preferably, the first chip, the second chip, and the third chip are all configured with a flip-chip structure.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1) This invention reduces the space occupied by horizontal tiling in the Micro-LED array, significantly improves the pixel density (PPI) of the display screen, reduces the area of ​​full-color pixels, and reduces the overall size of the screen, making it particularly suitable for high-precision, high-resolution and miniaturized display devices.

[0015] 2) Effectively reduce the impact of high-energy photons from blue or green light on the red light chip.

[0016] 3) Each chip's terminal block can be directly and vertically connected to the bottom drive circuit, reducing the footprint and avoiding the complex terminal block extension and connection problems in traditional stacked structures. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The second chip 2 has a second PN electrode step 21. A third terminal 21a extending along the direction close to the driving circuit 4 is located within the second PN electrode step 21. One end of the third terminal 21a is connected to the second chip 2, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit 4.
