Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the technical field of light emitting diodes, and more particularly to micro LED display devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Inorganic micropixel light-emitting diodes (μ-LEDs) are gaining importance as they are used in a variety of applications including self-emissive microdisplays, visible light communications, and optogenetics. μ-LEDs have demonstrated higher power performance than conventional LEDs due to better strain relaxation, increased light extraction efficiency, and uniform current spreading. μ-LED shavings have also demonstrated improved thermal effects, operation at higher current densities, faster response speeds, wider operating temperature ranges, higher resolution, wider color gamut, sharper contrast, and lower power consumption compared to conventional LEDs.

[0003] Inorganic μ-LEDs have traditionally been fabricated by etching III-V epitaxial layers to form multiple mesas. Most of the light emitted from the sidewalls of the mesas has a large emission angle perpendicular to the microdisplay. However, the emitted light with a large emission angle is blocked and lost in the augmented reality (AR) device and does not reach the human eye, resulting in low luminous efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the luminous loss from the sidewalls of the mesas.

[0004] In addition, the chief ray angle of a conventional μ-LED cannot be changed and is always emitted vertically from the top of the mesa, which reduces the light emitted from the sidewall of the mesa, lowering the luminous efficiency and luminous intensity. Moreover, the chief ray angle of each μ-LED in a μ-LED array is the same as each other, which narrows the applications of the μ-LED array.

[0005] Furthermore, a micro LED display panel usually uses a micro LED for a pixel. Recently, one or more micro LED projectors formed together with a micro LED display panel are usually combined with a waveguide to provide an image, and are applied to a head-up display device or other small devices. Although the volume of a micro LED display panel is very small, the volume of a micro LED projector based on multiple micro LED display panels is large and cannot be further reduced, such as the thickness of VR or AR glasses. Therefore, it is not conducive to the development of head-up display devices such as virtual reality (VR) glasses, segmented reality (AR) headsets, or other small devices.

If the sidewalls of the mesa structure are parallel to the inner sidewall of the left half of the reflecting structure facing the mesa structure, but the sidewalls of the mesa structure are not parallel to the inner sidewall of the right half of the reflecting structure 00, the central axis L1 of the reflecting structure 00 is shifted from left to right, as shown in FIG. 6.

It is noted that the first color, the second color, and the third color can be selected from red, blue, green, orange, yellow, etc. Here, the micro LED panels are assembled on different surfaces of the X-cube, and the micro LED panels face the dichroic films. Furthermore, two adjacent micro LED panels 201 and 202 or 202 and 203 are in a mirror image relationship, with the dichroic film between the two adjacent micro LED panels 201 and 202 or 202 and 203 acting as a mirror. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the optical coupling element 301 may also be an "X" optical coupling panel instead of an X-cube.The support frame may include an optical coupling element 301 that exposes the surface of the X-cube so that light emitted from the micro LEDs may enter the X-cube.

[0209] In some further embodiments, the X-cube 301 can be fixed in the support frame by adhesive or mechanical connection method without adhesive. For example, the micro LED panel can be glued on the support frame by adhesive or adhesive, or the micro LED panel can be mechanically connected with the optical coupling element 301 so that the micro LED panel is clamped with the support frame. It should be noted that the micro LED panel can be directly formed on the surface of the X-cube. A cooling element may be formed on the back of the micro LED panel to dissipate heat of the micro LED panel to the outside. In another embodiment, a cooling element can be formed on the support frame connected with the micro LED panel to dissipate heat of the support frame and the micro LED panel to the outside.

[0210] Herein, a micro LED package structure for a micro LED panel is disclosed. The micro LED package structure includes a main circuit board including a printed circuit for controlling the micro LED panel, a circuit branch individually connected to the main circuit board, and a micro LED panel individually configured on an end surface of the circuit branch. Furthermore, the width of the circuit branch is equal to or less than the width of the X-cube on which the circuit branch is assembled. Preferably, the circuit branch is flexible and can be folded and assembled with an optical coupling element. It is noted that a micro LED panel is individually configured on each of the circuit branches and electrically connected to each of the circuit branches.

[0211] 11, each of the micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 may be packaged before being assembled with the optical coupling element 301. In some embodiments, at least three micro LED panels are packaged together on a printed circuit board, such as a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. The micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are individually configured on each of the circuit branches and electrically connected to each of the circuit branches. Furthermore, the micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are configured on an end surface of each of the circuit branches. In some embodiments, the bottom edge of the micro LED panel 201, 202, 203 of one of the circuit branches is not lower than the side edge of the other circuit branch.

[0212] Further disclosed herein is a micro LED light module including the aforementioned micro LED package structure for a micro LED panel, where the micro LED package structure is assembled with a micro optical coupling element 301. The micro LED panel is assembled facing the optical coupling element 301. Preferably, the width of the circuit branch is equal to or less than the width of the X-cube (optical coupling element 301). In some embodiments, the tops of the micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are at the same horizontal level. Furthermore, the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are flexible to be assembled with the optical coupling element 301, and the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are folded to face the optical coupling element 301. In another embodiment, the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are not flexible to be assembled with the optical coupling element 301.

[0213] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 11, the FPC board comprises a main circuit board 1101 and a number of circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 from the main circuit board 1101. The circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are formed to be flexible and foldable for assembly with the optical coupling element 301, so that the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are folded to face the optical coupling element 301. The circuit of the main board 1101 is the same as the circuit of the branches 1102, 1103, 1104. In some embodiments, three micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are formed on the end faces of the branches (first branch 1102, second branch 1103, third branch 1104) and electrically connected with the circuit of the branches. Preferably, the first branch 1102 and the third branch 1104 are symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the second branch 1103. The three micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 can be formed with the optical coupling element 301 (as shown in FIG. 10) by folding or bending the branches in any direction to form an assembled structure consistent with FIG. 10. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the distance WD between the bottom edge of the micro LED panel 201 in the first branch 1102 and the bottom edge of the micro LED panel 203 in the third branch 1104 is equal to or close to the width of the optical coupling element 301. Thus, the top edges of the three micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 are at the same horizontal level (as shown in FIG. 10) when formed with the optical coupling element 301. In some embodiments, the first branch 1102 and the third branch 1104 can be folded and stacked together to form the FPC substrate shown in Figure 12. In some embodiments consistent with Figures 10 and 12, the width WD1 of branch 1103 is equal to or close to the width of X-cube 301. The width of X-cube 301 can be less than the width of branch 1103. For example, the width of X-cube 301 can be at least the width of the active light emitting or optical area.The active light-emitting area 1106 is the light-emitting area of ​​the micro LED panel 201, and the light area is the light-transmitting area on the X-cube 301 surface formed by the light rays emitted from the micro LED panel 201. Preferably, in some embodiments consistent with FIG. 13, the FPC includes a main substrate 1101 and three branches 1102, 1103, 1104. The main substrate 1101 includes a bottom substrate 110101 and a top substrate 110102. The width of the top substrate 110102 is greater than the width of the bottom substrate 110101. The circuit of the bottom substrate 110101 is divided into three sub-circuits. The three sub-circuits are separately connected with the micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 and separately formed in the three branches 1102, 1103, 1104. To form the FPC board as shown in FIG. 12, the first branch 1102 can be folded along dotted lines Z1 and Z2 separately, and the third branch 1104 can be folded along dotted lines Z3 and Z4. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 12, the first branch 1102 can be folded along dotted line Z5, the second branch 1103 can be folded along dotted line Z6, and the third branch 1104 can be folded along dotted line Z7 to form an assembled structure in which three micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are arranged around the X-cube 301 as shown in FIG. 10. It is noted that the FPC board of the embodiment consistent with FIG. 12 can be formed not only by folding the branches, but also by directly printing circuits on the main board and the branches without folding the branches. It is noted that the shape of the micro LED panel can be rectangular, square, etc. The profile of the micro LED array area in the micro LED panel can be rectangular, square, etc. Here, the width of the first circuit branch 1102, the width of the second circuit branch 1103, and the width of the third circuit branch 1104 are the same. Note that in some embodiments, the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are not flexible due to being assembled with the optical coupling element 301.

[0214] In some embodiments, the end of the FPC board for supporting the micro LED panel comprises a support base on the opposite side to the micro LED panel. The other end of the FPC board comprises a connector and a memory. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 14, the printed circuit board 1420 is long and flexible like an FPC. The long printed circuit board 1420 has a first end and a second end. The micro display panel 1410 is formed on the surface of the first end of the printed circuit board 1420 and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 1420. The support base 1430 is formed on the other surface of the first end of the printed circuit board 1420 opposite the micro display panel 1410. The flash memory 1440 is formed on the surface of the second end of the circuit board 1420. Optionally, the flash memory 1440 and the micro display panel 1410 are formed on the same side of the circuit board 1420. Note that the flash memory module 1430 is formed in the flash memory 1440 and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 1420. The connector 1450 is formed on the other surface of the second end of the printed circuit board 1420 opposite to the flash memory 1440, and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 1420 and the flash memory 1440. Furthermore, the connector 1450 and the support base 1430 are formed on the same surface of the printed circuit board 1420. In some further embodiments, a central processing unit is formed between the connector 1450 and the printed circuit board 1420. The central processing unit is used to process image data acquired from outside. Here, a cooling element can be formed on the back of the support base to transfer heat of the micro LED panel.

[0215] In some embodiments consistent with Figures 9 and 10, the minimum distance between the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 and the surface of the X-cube 301 facing the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is not more than twice the thickness of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203, preferably the minimum distance between the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 and the surface of the X-cube 301 facing the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is not more than 2 mm, preferably not more than 1 mm. The dimensions of the X-cube 301 are determined by the active light emitting areas of the micro LED panels 201, 202 and 203 and the light area of ​​the X-cube 301 surface formed by the light rays emitted from the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203. The X-cube 301 is a cube structure with six faces having the same area. The active light emitting areas of the micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are identical. Each surface area of ​​the X-cube 301 can be smaller than the active light emitting area. That is, the width of the active light emitting area can be the same as or larger than the width of the surface of the X-cube 301, and the height of the active light emitting area can be the same as or larger than the height of the surface of the X-cube 301. In some embodiments, each surface area of ​​the X-cube 301 is at least as large as the light area. That is, the width of the light area can be equal to or smaller than the width of the surface of the X-cube 301, and the height of the light area can be equal to or smaller than the height of the surface of the X-cube 301. For example, in some embodiments, the light area on the surface of the X-cube 301 is a circle with a diameter of 3 mm, and the surface facing the micro LED panel 201, such that the surface area of ​​the X-cube 301 facing the micro LED panel 201 is 3 mm by 3 mm. Furthermore, the light area is equal to or smaller than the active light emitting area. When the chief ray angle of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0°, i.e., all the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 are 0°, the surface area of ​​the X-cube 301 is at least as large as the active light-emitting area, and preferably not larger than 200% of the active light-emitting area, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10.It should be noted that if the chief light rays of the micro LED structures of the micro LED panels 201, 202 or 203 are collimated to a single point, the light area will be smaller than the active light emitting area, and if the chief light rays of the micro LED structures of the micro LED panels 201, 202 or 203 are diverged to the surroundings instead of being collimated to a single point, the light area of ​​the X-cube 301 will be larger than the active light emitting area.

[0216] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 15-17, when the chief ray angle of at least some micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is greater than 0°, the surface area of ​​the X-cube 301 is at least as large as the light area, preferably less than or equal to 200% of the active light emitting area. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 15, the dotted square representing the minimized X-cube has a surface area equal to the light area, herein the chief ray angle at the center of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0°. The chief ray angle of the micro LED structures of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 increases from the center of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 to the edge of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203. Thus, the light is collimated at one point in the X-cube 301 and transmits from the X-cube 301 to display an inverted image on the interface (dotted line). In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 16, the central chief ray angle of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0°. The chief ray angle of the micro LED structure in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is less than that of FIG. 15, so the light rays are collimated at a point off the X-cube 301. And the light rays are transmitted from the X-cube 301 to display a minimized image on the interface (dotted line). In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 17, the chief ray angle of the center of the micro LED array in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is greater than 0°, so the center of the image on the interface (dotted line) is not aligned with the center of the X-cube 301, and now the image is shifted downward from the central axis of the X-cube 301, as shown in FIG. 17. Furthermore, because the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panels 201, 202 or 203 are varied, the dimensions of the X-cube 301 can be reduced compared to the X-cube 301 of the embodiment consistent with FIGS. 9 and 10 where the chief ray angle of the entire micro LED panel is 0°.

[0217] In some further embodiments, the three micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are vertically arranged around the periphery of the X-cube 301. In some embodiments, again consistent with FIG. 15, an imaginary rectangle (large dotted rectangle in FIG. 15) is formed by the top sides of the two micro LED panels 201 and 203 facing each other. The diagonal length of the top side of the X-cube 301 is less than or equal to 200% of the diagonal length of the imaginary rectangle and at least as long as the diagonal length of the minimized square (small dotted square), preferably at least as long as the vertices of the active light emitting areas.

[0218] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 18, where the omission points represent multiple micro LED structures, multiple micro LED structures are arranged in an array to form a micro LED array, which is used as the light emitting area of ​​the micro LED panel. In the micro LED panel, referring to some embodiments consistent with FIG. 19, a cross-sectional view of a micro LED array is shown. Here, the number of micro LED structures is not the actual number, the hemisphere represents the micro LED structure with the micro lens, the dotted lines represent the boundary surface, and the arrows represent the chief ray from the micro LED structure. The chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are different. In some embodiments, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures increase from any point above the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array (such as from the center of the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array). Thus, the chief ray of the micro LED structures in the micro LED array can be automatically collimated at a point above the micro LED array (such as a point at the central axis of the micro LED array) as shown in FIG. 19. This micro LED array panel is also shown in FIG. 15-FIG. 17. Preferably, the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure is increased by a certain amount (such as 1°). The certain amount depends on the row number and column number of the micro LED array and the dimensions of the micro LED array. The chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the aforementioned reflective structure along a horizontal level. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the micro lens along a horizontal level, which can be seen in US Patent Application No. 63 / 083972.

[0219] Note that the central axis of the micro LED array is the axis perpendicular to the micro LED array panel and crossing the center of symmetry. The horizontal level is parallel to the surface of the micro LED array panel, such as the top surface of the micro mesa structure. The chief ray angle is the angle between the chief ray and the vertical direction.

[0220] In some further embodiments, a micro LED array panel may include a plurality of the aforementioned micro LED structures formed in an array. The micro LED array panel is a micro self-emitting panel, in which at least one micro LED forms one pixel.

[0221] 8, the micro LED structures of the micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 may be organic or inorganic LEDs. The light emitting area of ​​the micro LED array panels 201, 202, and 203 may be very small, e.g., 3 mm * 5 mm. In some embodiments, the light-emitting area is the area of ​​the micro LED array in the micro LED panel. The micro LED array panel includes a micro LED array forming a pixel array of 1600×1200, 680×480, 1920×1080, etc. The diameter of the micro LED structure is in the range of about 200 nm to 2 μm. An IC backside 07 is formed on the backside of the micro LED array and is electrically connected to the micro LED array. The IC backside 07 receives signals such as image data from the outside through a signal line and controls the corresponding micro LED to emit or not emit light. The IC backside 07 generally employs an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The 8-bit DAC has 256 levels of representation, each level corresponding to one gray level. That is, the 8-bit DAC can provide 256 different gray levels. Since any of the 256 gray levels can be applied to the micro LED, a gray level in the range of 0 to 255 can be displayed by one pixel. Optionally, the brightness value of the micro LED can be controlled by the voltage amplitude or current amplitude of the signal acquired by the backside of the IC, while the gray level can be indicated by the time interval (e.g., pulse width) of the signal, which can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0222] EMBODIMENT 2 20, the micro LED structure includes a mesa structure and a micro lens 11. Furthermore, the above-mentioned reflective structure 00 can be formed around the mesa structure. For details of the mesa structure and the reflective structure 00, please refer to the description of the first embodiment. Furthermore, an anti-reflection film 12 is formed on at least a part of the surface of the micro lens 11.

[0223] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 20, the anti-reflection coating 12 is formed on the emission portion of the surface of the microlens 11 where the light beam is emitted. Here, the chief ray of the micro LED structure is perpendicular to the top surface of the mesa structure and is emitted from the top center of the microlens 11. The anti-reflection coating 12 is formed on the top of the microlens 11. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 21, the chief ray is inclined to the top surface of the mesa structure and is emitted from the microlens 11 at an angle in the range of 0 to 45 degrees with respect to the vertical direction. The anti-reflection coating 12 is formed on a portion of the surface of the microlens 11 as shown in FIG. 21.

[0224] 22 and 23, an anti-reflective coating 12 may be formed on the entire surface of the microlens 11. A dielectric layer 08 is formed around the mesa structure, and a spacer 081 is formed on the dielectric layer 08, on top of the mesa structure, and on top of the reflective structure 00. Additionally, an anti-reflective coating 12 is further formed on top of the spacer 081.

[0225] 23, the thickness of the antireflection film 12 formed on the light-emitting portion is greater than the thickness of the antireflection film 12 formed at other positions on the microlens 11. Furthermore, when the chief ray is perpendicular to the top surface of the mesa structure, the thickness of the antireflection film 12 on the top of the microlens 11 is greater than the thickness of the antireflection film 12 at other positions on the microlens 11.

[0226] Due to various chief ray angles of light emission caused by shifting the reflecting structure or microlens, optical loss of light rays occurs in the microlens 11 and on the surface of the microlens 11, which cannot be avoided. Therefore, the anti-reflection film 12 can improve the transmittance of the light rays emitted from the microlens 11, thereby improving the light emission efficiency of the micro LED structure. Preferably, the thickness of the anti-reflection film 12 is in the range of 1 nm to 10 μm. And the dielectric constant of the anti-reflection film 12 is between the dielectric constant of the microlens and the dielectric constant of air. The material of the anti-reflection film 12 is a polymer, an inorganic oxide, or an inorganic nitride. The inorganic oxide can be silicon oxide, Al2O3, TiO2. Furthermore, the inorganic nitride can be silicon nitride or aluminum nitride (Si3N4, Al3N4, etc.). The anti-reflection film 12 is transparent and has high transmission efficiency. The shape of the anti-reflection film 12 can be conformal to the shape of the microlens 11. That is, the radius of curvature of the anti-reflective coating 12 is the same as the radius of the microlens 11. For example, the shape of the anti-reflective coating 12 can be an arc shape, a hemisphere shape, etc. It is noted that in another embodiment, the shape of the anti-reflective coating 12 can be a sphere having a different radius compared to the microlens 11. It is noted that the anti-reflective coating 12 can also be used as a protective layer to protect the surface of the microlens 11 from damage.

[0227] In some embodiments, the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure can be changed by shifting the reflector structure 00 as described above, or by shifting the micro lens 11 along the top surface of the mesa structure. For example, the central axis of the micro lens 11 is shifted from the central axis of the mesa structure to change the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure.

[0228] For details of the mesa structure, the reflective structure, and the IC back surface 07, please refer to the description of the first embodiment.

[0229] Furthermore, a spacer 081 is formed at the bottom of the microlens 11 and between the mesa structure and the microlens 11. The thickness of the spacer 081 can be adjusted according to actual requirements. Preferably, the thickness of the spacer 081 can be smaller than the radius of curvature of the microlens 11 in the embodiment. It should be noted that in another embodiment, the thickness of the spacer 081 is equal to or larger than the radius of the microlens 11. The distance between the focal point of the microlens 11 and the light emitting layer 02 is determined by the thickness of the spacer 081 and the radius of the microlens 11. Preferably, the thickness of the spacer 081 is less than 50% of the radius of the microlens 11. Also, the thickness of the spacer is within the range of 10% to 200% of the height of the microlens.

[0230] The micro LED structure in the second embodiment can also be applied to the micro LED projector described in the first embodiment.

[0231] It should also be noted that in other embodiments, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the microlenses 11 along the horizontal level, as shown in the embodiments consistent with Figures 24 and 25. Thus, in these embodiments, no reflecting structure is required. Also, in the embodiments consistent with Figure 26, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the microlenses along the horizontal level and simultaneously shifting the reflecting structure 00. Thus, in these embodiments, both the reflecting structure 00 and the microlenses 11 are required.

[0232] EMBODIMENT 3 27, the micro LED structure comprises a mesa structure and a micro lens 11. The micro LED structure further comprises the aforementioned reflective structure 00, a spacer 081, an isolation layer 10 and a dielectric layer 08. For details of the mesa structure, the micro lens 11, the spacer 081, the isolation layer 10, the dielectric layer 08 and the reflective structure 00, please refer to embodiments 1 and 2.

[0233] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 27, the shape of the micro-mesa structure is as follows: the top surface area of ​​the micro-mesa structure is smaller than the bottom surface area of ​​the micro-mesa structure, like a trapezoid. Furthermore, the distance between the focal point of the micro-lens 11 and the top of the micro-mesa structure is not more than 70% of the height of the micro-mesa structure, as shown in FIG. 27 (the black dot represents the focal position, which will be explained below). Preferably, the radius of curvature of the micro-lens 11 is in the range of 100 nm to 10 μm, and the diameter of the micro-lens 11 is larger than the top width of the micro-mesa structure. It is noted that when the chief ray angle of the micro-LED structure is larger than 0°, the diameter of the micro-lens 11 can be smaller than the top width of the micro-mesa structure.

[0234] When a spacer 081 is formed between the microlens 11 and the mesa structure, the focal position of the microlens 11 is determined by the thickness of the spacer 081, the height of the microlens 11, and the radius of curvature of the microlens 11. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 28, the black dots represent focal positions, the thickness of the spacer 081 is greater than 100%-300% of the radius of curvature, and the focal position is above the top surface of the micromesa structure. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 29, the black dots represent focal positions, the thickness of the spacer 081 is about 100%-300% of the radius of curvature, and the focal position is on the top surface of the micromesa structure. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 27, the thickness of the spacer 081 is less than 100%-300% of the radius of curvature, and the focal position is below the top of the micromesa structure.

[0235] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the position of the focal point is determined by the radius of curvature of the microlens when no spacer is formed between the mesa structure and the microlens 11. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 30, the black dot represents the focal point position, the radius of curvature of the microlens 11 is 50%-100% of the height of the mesa structure, and the distance between the focal point position of the microlens 11 and the top of the micromesa structure is 70% or less of the height of the micromesa structure.

[0236] It should be noted that as the radius of curvature of the microlens 11 increases, the focal position moves downward if the height of the microlens 11 is kept at a preset value; furthermore, if the diameter of the microlens 11 not including the spacer 081 is larger than the bottom width of the mesa structure and the height of the microlens 11 is smaller than the radius of the microlens 11, the focal position of the microlens 11 can reach out of the bottom of the mesa structure. Furthermore, if the diameter of the microlens 11 is 100%-200% of the top width of the mesa structure or equal to the bottom width of the mesa structure, the distance between the focal point of the microlens 11 and the top of the micromesa structure is not more than 70% of the height of the micromesa structure. Preferably, the radius of curvature of the microlens is in the range of 100 nm-10 μm.

[0237] Furthermore, the surface roughness of the mesa structure is another factor that affects the focal position. The mesa structure scatters light on the surface of the microlens 11 and the surface of the mesa structure, so the actual focal position of the microlens 11 cannot reach too deep into the mesa structure. Preferably, the distance between the focal point of the microlens 11 and the top of the micromesa structure is not more than 70% of the height of the micromesa structure. In some embodiments, the distance between the focal point and the top surface of the mesa structure is 30% of the height of the micromesa structure. Preferably, the surface roughness of the micromesa structure is 1 nm to 100 nm.

[0238] Preferably, the surface roughness of the microlens 11 is in the range of 1 nm to 100 nm. The material of the microlens 11 is selected from polymers, inorganic oxides, and inorganic nitrides. The inorganic material can be silicon oxide or silicon nitride. It is noted that the material of the microlens 11 can be different from the material of the spacer 081, or in some embodiments, the material of the microlens 11 can be the same as the material of the spacer 081.

[0239] At least, different focal positions of the microlenses and different chief ray angles of the microLED structures determine different luminous intensities and efficiencies.

[0240] The micro LED structure in the third embodiment can also be applied to the micro LED projector described in the first embodiment.

[0241] For details of the micro LED structure, please refer to the descriptions of embodiments 1 and 2.

[0242] EMBODIMENT 4 31, the mesa structure is different from that of embodiment 3. The mesa structure in embodiment 4 is an inverted trapezoid, in which the top surface area of ​​the micro-mesa structure is larger than the bottom surface area of ​​the micro-mesa structure.

[0243] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the surface roughness of the microlens 11 and the surface roughness of the mesa structure are further influencing factors of the focal position. Due to the surface roughness of the microlens 11 and the mesa structure, the light is scattered on the surface of the microlens 11 and the surface of the mesa structure, so that the actual focal position of the microlens 11 cannot reach too deep in the mesa structure. Preferably, the surface roughness of the microlens is in the range of 1 nm to 1000 nm. Therefore, the distance between the focal position of the microlens 11 and the top of the micromesa structure is less than 100% of the height of the micromesa structure, which is the same as in the third embodiment. In the inverted trapezoidal micro LED structure, the radius of curvature of the microlens 11 can be larger than that of the trapezoidal micro LED structure in the third embodiment, so that the focal position can be located deeper in the mesa structure compared to the focal position in the third embodiment. When the diameter of the microlens 11 is 80% to 120% of the top width of the inverted trapezoidal mesa structure or equal to the bottom width of the mesa structure, the distance between the focal point of the microlens 11 and the top of the inverted trapezoidal micromesa structure is 100% or less of the height of the inverted trapezoidal micromesa structure. Preferably, the radius of curvature of the microlens 11 is in the range of 100 nm to 10 μm.

[0244] The micro LED structure in the third embodiment can also be applied to the micro LED projector described in the first embodiment.

[0245] For other details of the micro LED structure, please refer to the descriptions of embodiments 1 to 3.

The micro LED panel includes a micro LED structure array including a plurality of the aforementioned micro LED structures. It should be noted that in the embodiment consistent with FIG. 32, only one micro LED structure is illustrated for the description of the embodiment 5, but this is not limiting to the scope of the present disclosure. The collimator unit 14 is formed in the light emission direction to collimate the light beam emitted from the micro LED structure to a pre-set target position, such as a display screen, a wall, or a human eye (not shown in FIG. 32).

[0247] Here, in some embodiments consistent with Figs. 32-34, in each mesa structure, the center of the microlens 11 and the center of the light emitting layer 02 are positioned on a first straight line.

Here, the light emitting area is larger than the incident surface of the collimator unit 14. Moreover, the width of the micro LED panel 15 is larger than the diameter of the incident surface of the collimator unit 14, so that the volume and weight of the micro LED projector are reduced. It is noted that the LED structure comprises two or more micro LED panels. Furthermore, it is noted that the aforementioned light area of ​​the collimator unit 14 is equal to or smaller than the incident surface of the collimator unit 14.

[0255] Here, the chief ray angles of the micro LEDs of the micro LED panel 15 are not the same. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the chief ray angles of some micro LEDs are the same as each other, and the chief ray angles of some micro LEDs are different from each other. Preferably, the chief ray angles of the micro LEDs of the micro LED panel 15 are collimated to a point.

[0256] Further, the at least two kinds of color micro LED panels each emit a light beam of one color, and the chief ray angle of the micro LEDs of each micro LED panel is collimated to one point.

Further, the optical coupling element 301 comprises a polarizing and splitting film facing the first color light beam emitted from the first micro LED panel 201 and the second color light beam emitted from the second micro LED panel 202. The collimator group 1400 receives the light beam from the optical coupling element 301 and collimates the light beam to a preset target position. It is noted that in another embodiment, the first micro LED panel 201 may emit two color light beams and the second micro LED panel 202 may emit one color light beam.

[0266] Furthermore, the collimated light is emitted from the emission surface of the optical coupling element 301 and enters the entrance surface of the collimator unit 14 (collimator group 1400). The distance between the emission surface of the optical coupling element 301 (X-cube) and the entrance surface of the collimator unit 14 (collimator group 1400) is equal to or greater than zero. Preferably, the distance between the emission surface of the optical coupling element 301 and the entrance surface of the collimator unit 14 is equal to or less than 200% of the thickness of the collimator unit 14.

[0268] In some embodiments, the diameter of the collimator unit 14 (collimator group 1400) is larger than the side width of the X-cube. Preferably, the diameter of the collimator unit 14 (collimator group 1400) is 200% or less of the side width of the X-cube 301.

[0269] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the micro LED devices disclosed herein include one, two, three, four or more micro LED panels.

[0270] A plurality of micro LED structures are arranged in an array to form a micro LED array, which is used as the light-emitting area of ​​the micro LED panel. In the micro LED panel, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are different. For example, the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure increases from any point above the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array (such as from the center of the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array). Thus, the chief ray of the micro LED structure in the micro LED array can be automatically collimated at a point above the micro LED array (such as a point at the central axis of the micro LED array), as shown in FIG. 19. This micro LED array panel is also shown in FIG. 15-FIG. 17. Preferably, the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure is increased by a certain amount (such as 1° or other angle). The certain amount depends on the row number and column number of the micro LED array and the dimension of the micro LED array. The chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the aforementioned reflective structure along the horizontal level. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the microlenses along the horizontal level, see US Patent Application No. 63 / 083972.

[0271] For details of the structure of the micro LED, please refer to the descriptions of the first to fourth embodiments.

[0272] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 35, the dimensions of the collimator group 1400 will be smaller because the dimensions of the micro LED panel 15 are very small and the chief ray angle is adjustable. In some embodiments, the diameter of the lens of the collimator group 1400 will be reduced and the thickness of the lens will be reduced, so the volume of the collimator group 1400 will be further reduced. Similarly, referring to the embodiments consistent with FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, the dimensions of the micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 will be very small and the chief ray angle is adjustable, so the dimensions of the optical coupling element 301 and the dimensions of the collimator group 1400 will be smaller. In some embodiments, the width of the X-cube will be reduced and the volume of the X-cube will be further reduced. In some embodiments, the diameter of the lens of the collimator group 1400 will be reduced and the thickness of the lens will be reduced, so the volume of the collimator group 1400 will be further reduced. In some more specific embodiments, the micro LED panel 201, 202, or 203 is 3mm or less, the width of the X-cube is 3mm or less, the diameter of the lens of the collimator group 1400 is 3mm or less, and the length of the collimator group 1400 is 3mm or less, making the optical engine or micro LED projector even smaller, facilitating a lighter and more miniaturized device. As the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are different and collimated to a single point (as described above), the dimensions of the X-cube and the dimensions of the collimator group 1400 will become smaller and smaller.

[0273] In some embodiments, the central axis of the micro LED array is an axis perpendicular to the micro LED array panel and passing through the center of symmetry of the micro LED array. The horizontal level is parallel to the surface of the micro LED array panel.

[0274] In some further embodiments, a micro LED array panel may comprise a plurality of the aforementioned micro LEDs formed in an array. The micro LED array panel is a micro self-emitting panel. The micro LEDs in the panel may be organic or inorganic LEDs. The light emitting area of ​​the micro LED array panel may be less than 3 mm. *It is very small, measuring only 5mm. The light-emitting area is the area of ​​the micro LED array. The micro LED array panel includes a micro LED array that forms a pixel array of 1600x1200, 680x480, 1920x1080, etc. The diameter of the micro LED is in the range of 200nm to 2μm. An IC backside is formed on the backside of the micro LED array and is electrically connected to the micro LED array. The IC backside receives signals such as image data from the outside through a signal line, and controls the corresponding micro LED to emit light. The IC backside generally employs an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). An 8-bit DAC has 256 levels of display, and each level corresponds to one gray level. That is, an 8-bit DAC can provide 256 different gray levels. Since any of the 256 gray levels can be applied to the micro LED, a gray level in the range of 0 to 255 can be displayed by one pixel. Optionally, the brightness value of the micro LED can be controlled by the voltage amplitude or current amplitude of the signal received by the IC backside. Alternatively, the grey level can be indicated by the time interval (eg pulse width) of the signal.

[0275] For details of the micro LED projector and the micro LED panel, please refer to the descriptions of the first to fourth embodiments.

[0276] EMBODIMENT 6 In some embodiments consistent with Fig. 38, a micro LED display device is provided, comprising at least one monolithic micro LED projector 1601 and a light guide 1602. The monolithic micro LED projector 1601 is configured to generate monochrome images of one or different colors separately. The light guide 1602 is configured to receive the monochrome images from the monolithic micro LED projectors, respectively. The light guide 1602 is further configured to transmit the monochrome images and superimpose the monochrome images to combine them into an objective image.

[0277] In some embodiments, the monolithic micro LED projector includes a monolithic micro LED panel and a collimator group, and the light from the monolithic micro LED panel is formed to transmit through the collimator group and is corrected there. For this monolithic micro LED projector, please refer to the above-mentioned micro LED projector shown in Figures 32 to 35. Here, the micro LED array of the monolithic micro LED panel applies micro LEDs to display pixels. In the micro LED panel, the chief ray angles of the micro LEDs are different. Here, the micro LEDs include a micro mesa structure and a micro lens, and for at least some of the micro LEDs, the central axis of the micro lens is shifted from the central axis of the micro mesa structure. Note that the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure can be realized by the reflection structure 00 described in embodiment 1, and further refer to US Patent Application No. 63 / 083972. Furthermore, the micro LED structure can be the micro LED structure in the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 5. For details of the structure of the micro LED, please refer to the description of embodiments 1 to 5. In some embodiments, the micro LED projector has dimensions of 5mm x 5mm x 5mm or less, the micro LED panel has dimensions of 5mm x 5mm or less, and the micro LED display device has a thickness of 3mm or less.

[0278] Here, the chief ray angle of the micro LEDs in the micro LED panel increases from any point above the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array. Preferably, in some embodiments, the chief ray angle of the micro LEDs in the micro LED panel increases from the center of the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array. For further details on the chief ray angle and its relationship to the micro LED array, please refer to the description of embodiments 1 to 5.

[0279] Since the chief ray angle of the micro LED is formed to be collimated in a certain direction, the light area on the collimator group is smaller than the light area from a conventional micro LED projector having a micro LED with the same chief ray angle of 90°. This reduces the volume of the micro LED projector and the volume of the light guide, making it easy to combine the micro LED projector with the light guide. Furthermore, the micro LED display device can reduce the weight and volume of a headset, a head-up device, a VR device, an AR device, or other micro display device.

[0280] Further, in some embodiments consistent with Figure 39, the monolithic micro LED projector comprises a first monolithic micro LED projector unit 16011, a second monolithic micro LED projector unit 16012, and a third monolithic micro LED projector unit 16013. The first monolithic micro LED projector unit 16011 generates a first monochrome image in a first color, the second monolithic micro LED projector unit 16012 generates a second monochrome image in a second color, and the third monolithic micro LED projector unit 16013 generates a third monochrome image in a third color. Further, the first monolithic micro LED projector unit 16011 comprises at least one first sub-monolithic micro LED projector 160111, the second monolithic micro LED projector unit 16012 comprises at least one second sub-monolithic micro LED projector 160121, and the third monolithic micro LED projector unit 16013 comprises at least one third sub-monolithic micro LED projector 160131. Preferably, in some embodiments consistent with FIG. 40, the first monolithic micro LED projector unit 16011 comprises one first sub-monolithic micro LED projector 160111, the second monolithic micro LED projector unit 16012 comprises one second sub-monolithic micro LED projector 160121, and the third monolithic micro LED projector unit 16013 comprises two third sub-monolithic micro LED projectors 160131. Note that the first color, the second color, and the third color are different. In some embodiments, the first color is blue, the second color is green, and the third color is red. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 41, the micro LED display device is a glass 1701. The glass 1701 includes one blue micro LED projector B, one green micro LED projector G, and two red micro LED projectors R.

[0281] In some embodiments consistent with Figure 42, the light guide includes at least two light gratings 16021 aligned with the monolithic micro LED projector units 16011, 16012, 16013, respectively, each providing a different color monochrome image. In some embodiments consistent with Figure 43, the light guide 1602 includes at least two light gratings 16021 aligned with the monolithic micro LED projectors 160111, 160121, and 160131, respectively, each providing a monochrome image.

[0282] In some embodiments consistent with Figures 38 and 39, the micro LED display device comprises an optical coupling unit 1603. The optical coupling unit 1603 is configured to receive a monochrome image and couple the monochrome image to an objective image by superimposing the monochrome image. The optical coupling unit 1603 can be a conventional optical coupling unit as small as possible and can be fitted into the light guide 1602. This can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0283] It should be noted that in the embodiments consistent with Figures 34-37, a space is formed between the monolithic micro LED projector 1601 and the optical waveguide 1602. The spacing between the surface of the collimator unit 14 and the optical waveguide 1602 is equal to or less than the thickness of the collimator unit 14. Preferably, the spacing between the surface of the collimator unit 14 and the optical waveguide 1602 is equal to or less than 3 mm.

[0284] Furthermore, the optical waveguide 1602 has an input region. The chief ray emitted from the collimator unit 14 is formed to be parallel to the normal direction of the input region. The angular deviation between the chief ray emitted from the collimator unit 14 and the normal direction of the input region is 5° or less.

[0285] This micro LED display device can be applied to micro LED glasses. The micro LED glasses include the above-mentioned monolithic micro LED projector 1601 and light guide 1602, which will not be described again in this specification. The relationship between the monolithic micro LED projector 1601 and glasses will be further described later.

[0286] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 44, the glass 1701 is formed into four quadrants (four regions formed by two dotted lines) based on the center of the glass 1701 (black dot) and the right-angled cross lines (two right-angled cross lines). The glass includes four quadrant regions I, II, III, and IV, which are divided by the aforementioned four quadrants based on the center of the glass. It should be noted that the center of the glass 1701 is the geometric center of the glass 1701. In some embodiments, the center of the glass 1701 is a position toward the human eye. The four quadrant regions I, II, III, and IV are provided as a first quadrant region I, a second quadrant region II, a third quadrant region III, and a fourth quadrant region IV, respectively.
