[0067] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0068] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" are intended to indicate that the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.
[0069] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0070] “At least one of A, B and C” has the same meaning as “at least one of A, B or C” and both include the following combinations of A, B and C: A only, B only, C only, the combination of A and B, the combination of A and C, the combination of B and C, and the combination of A, B and C.
[0071] “A and / or B” includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.
[0072] As used herein, "parallel", "perpendicular", and "equal" include the situations described and situations similar to the situations described, and the range of the similar situations is within an acceptable deviation range, wherein the acceptable deviation range is as determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate parallelism can be, for example, a deviation within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate perpendicularity can also be, for example, a deviation within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate equality can be, for example, that the difference between the two equals is less than or equal to 5% of either one.
[0073] It will be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers may be present therebetween.
[0074] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional and / or plan views that are idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thicknesses of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, variations in shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are contemplated. Therefore, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include deviations in shape due to, for example, manufacturing. For example, an etched region shown as a rectangle will typically have curved features. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.
[0075] In the color conversion LED display panel in the related art, a "double-layer bank" solution is usually used to solve the problem of color crosstalk between multiple LED light-emitting components and the problem of inconsistent color deviation of LED light-emitting components in different directions. Specifically, the "double-layer bank" solution is: the LED light-emitting component is embedded in the entire CF substrate, and the bank structure is set around the LED and in the non-display area of the CF substrate to ensure that the light emitted laterally by the LED light-emitting component cannot leak from the side wall of the LED light-emitting component. However, since the LED light-emitting component and the CF substrate need to be bonded together with adhesive, it is easy to cause uneven thickness problems, causing the LED light-emitting component to tilt relative to the CF substrate, thereby causing the light emitted by the LED light-emitting component to tilt relative to the normal emission direction, and then causing color deviation after refraction through the CF substrate, affecting the display effect.
[0076] In order to solve the above technical problems, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present disclosure provides a light-emitting component 1, which includes: a light-emitting unit 11, a color conversion unit 12 arranged on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting unit 11, and a bonding layer 13 and a support portion 14 arranged between the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12.
[0077] The light-emitting unit 11 includes a light-emitting functional layer 111, which includes a first electrode 1112, a first semiconductor layer 1111, and a light-emitting layer 1113 stacked along a first direction. Specifically, as shown in FIG2 , the first direction is the direction from the light-emitting functional layer 111 to the color conversion unit 12. It can be understood that the first direction is parallel to the light-emitting direction of the light-emitting functional layer 111. As shown in FIG1-FIG4 , the light-emitting unit 11 also includes a second semiconductor layer 112, which is disposed on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting functional layer 111. The second semiconductor layer 112 includes a connecting portion 1121, which is connected to the light-emitting functional layer 111. The light-emitting unit 11 also includes a common electrode 113, which is connected to the second semiconductor layer 112. Specifically, the first electrode 1112 and the common electrode 113 can be used as an anode and a cathode, respectively, so that after current is fed into the first electrode 1112 and the common electrode 113, holes and electrons are transferred in the first semiconductor layer 1111, the light-emitting layer 1113, and the second semiconductor layer 112 therebetween, thereby stimulating the light-emitting layer 1113 to emit light.
[0078] For example, as shown in FIG4 , the common electrode 113 includes a first common electrode layer 1131 and a second common electrode layer 1132 stacked sequentially along a first direction; the first common electrode layer 1131 is used to electrically connect to external wiring, and the second common electrode layer 1132 is electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 112. The second common electrode layer 1132 can function as a current spreader.
[0079] Exemplarily, the common electrode 113 may be a common cathode.
[0080] Exemplarily, the first electrode 1112 is made of an anode material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or silver (Ag); the common electrode 113 is made of a cathode material such as an alloy metal; the first semiconductor layer 1111 is, for example, a P-type gallium nitride (GaN) layer; the light-emitting layer 1113 is, for example, a quantum well material (MQW) layer; and the second semiconductor layer 112 is, for example, an N-type gallium nitride layer.
[0081] For example, a current spreading layer may be provided between the first electrode 1112 and the first semiconductor layer 1111. The material of the current spreading layer may be indium tin oxide (ITO), which functions to facilitate the transport of holes.
[0082] Exemplarily, the second semiconductor layer 112 may further include a buffer layer made of gallium nitride, which is arranged on a side of the second semiconductor 112 close to the bonding layer 13 and on a side of the N-type gallium nitride layer away from the light-emitting functional layer 111 .
[0083] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the side of the light-emitting functional layer 111 away from the second semiconductor layer 112 is further covered with an insulating protective layer 1114 to protect the light-emitting functional layer 111 and the second semiconductor layer 112 .
[0084] As shown in Figure 2, the bonding layer 13 of the light-emitting assembly 1 is disposed in contact with both the color conversion unit 12 and the light-emitting unit 11, thereby bonding the color conversion unit 12 to the light-emitting unit 11, thereby forming the light-emitting assembly 1. It should be noted that the bonding layer 13 allows light emitted by the light-emitting unit 11 to pass through, that is, the bonding layer 13 is light-transmissive, to ensure that the light-emitting assembly 1 emits light normally. Exemplarily, the material of the bonding layer 13 is an organic adhesive material such as epoxy resin, so that the bonding effect of the adhesive material can achieve bonding between the color conversion unit 12 and the light-emitting unit 11.
[0085] As shown in FIG2 , the support portion 14 of the light-emitting component 1 is provided on the same layer as the bonding layer 13 , and the support portion 14 is provided in contact with at least one of the color conversion unit 12 and the light-emitting unit 11 to be supported between the color conversion unit 12 and the light-emitting unit 11 , so that the box thickness between the color conversion unit 12 and the light-emitting unit 11 remains consistent, thereby reducing the tilt angle of the light-emitting unit 11 relative to the color conversion unit 12 , thereby improving the color deviation problem caused by the excessive tilt angle of the light-emitting unit 11 relative to the color conversion unit 12 , improving the light output effect, and thereby improving the display effect of the display device.
[0086] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the support portion 14 includes a first support area 14A and a second support area 14B. The first support area 14A and the second support area 14B are respectively disposed near two opposite sides of the light-emitting unit 11 to provide a balanced support force between the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 in the two side regions of the light-emitting unit 11, thereby improving the uniformity of the cell thickness between the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 in the center region corresponding to the light-emitting unit 11, thereby achieving the effect of improving color shift.
[0087] It is easy to understand that the thickness of the first support area 14A and the second support area 14B of the support portion 14 in the first direction are consistent, so that the box thickness at the corresponding positions of the two side areas of the light-emitting unit 11 is consistent, so that the relative surfaces of the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 corresponding to the central area of the light-emitting unit 11 are parallel, that is, the box thickness in the central area between the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 is uniform.
[0088] Furthermore, in some preferred examples, the thickness of each position of the support portion 14 in the first direction is equal, so as to further ensure the uniformity of the box thickness between the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12, thereby further improving the color deviation problem of the light-emitting component 1.
[0089] In some examples, as shown in FIG2 , the support portion 14 includes a first support layer 141 and a second support layer 142. The first support layer 141 is disposed in contact with the color conversion unit 12, and the second support layer 142 is located on a side of the first support layer 141 away from the color conversion unit 12. In the thickness direction of the first support layer 141, the parallel projection area of the first support layer 141 on the color conversion unit 12 is greater than the parallel projection area of the second support layer 142 on the color conversion unit 12. Specifically, as shown in FIG2 , a partial cross-section of the support portion 14 is generally T-shaped, with the relatively wide portion of the T-shaped portion being the first support layer 141, and the relatively narrow portion being the second support layer 142. Since the parallel projection area of the second supporting layer 142 on the color conversion unit 12 is small, the second supporting layer 142 can easily pass through the bonding layer 13 and stably combine with it, and remain stable in the thickness direction of the first supporting layer 141, so that the second supporting layer 142 can support the first supporting layer 141 in the thickness direction of the first supporting layer 141; and since the parallel projection area of the first supporting layer 141 on the color conversion unit 12 is large and is arranged close to the light incident side of the color conversion unit 12, the first supporting layer 141 can share the pressure applied to the color conversion layer, preventing the color conversion layer from being squeezed and deformed.
[0090] Alternatively, in other examples, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the parallel projection sizes of the first supporting layer 141 and the second supporting layer 142 of the supporting portion 14 on the color conversion unit 12 are consistent, so that the two can be integrally formed in the manufacturing process, thereby saving process steps and reducing process costs.
[0091] In some examples, as shown in FIG2 , the light-emitting component 1 further includes a first substrate 15 located on a side of the color conversion unit 12 away from the light-emitting unit 11. The color conversion unit 12 includes a defining dam layer 121, a plurality of optically functional portions 122, and a first encapsulation layer 123. The defining dam layer 121 has a plurality of openings to allow light emitted by the light-emitting unit 11 to pass through the plurality of openings. The plurality of optically functional portions 122 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of openings, and each optically functional portion 122 is located in a corresponding opening; at least some of the optically functional portions 122 are configured to convert the color of light entering the optically functional portion 122. The first encapsulation layer 123 is located on a side of the defining dam layer 121 away from the first substrate 15 to encapsulate the defining dam layer 121 and the plurality of optically functional portions 122, thereby protecting the defining dam layer 121 and the plurality of optically functional portions 122.
[0092] For example, the first substrate 15 is a glass substrate. Specifically, the first substrate 15 is transparent in the visible light band.
[0093] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2 , the first encapsulation layer 123 can also encapsulate a surface of the dam layer 121 that is close to the first substrate 15 , and encapsulate a peripheral surface of the dam layer 121 .
[0094] In some examples, the color conversion unit 12 further includes a light shielding layer 124 and a filter unit 125. The light shielding layer 124 is located between the first substrate 15 and the defining dam layer 121. The light shielding layer 124 includes a plurality of light holes, with a plurality of opening regions corresponding to the plurality of light holes. The orthographic projection of each light hole on the first substrate 15 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding opening region on the first substrate 15, so that light emitted through the plurality of opening regions can pass through the light holes and be emitted from the light-emitting side of the light-emitting component 1. The filter unit 125 is located between the first substrate 15 and the optically functional portion 122. The orthographic projection of the filter unit 125 on the first substrate 15 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding light hole on the first substrate 15. The filter unit 125 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the optical functional part 122, and the orthographic projection of the filter unit 125 on the first substrate 15 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding optical functional part 122 on the first substrate 15, so that the light passing through the optical functional part 122 can enter the filter unit 125, and the filter unit 125 filters the light to obtain light of a specified color (or wavelength).
[0095] In some examples, the light emitted by the light-emitting functional layer 111 is blue light or ultraviolet light. For example, the optical functional portion 122 is made of a quantum dot material, which can emit light under the excitation of ultraviolet light or blue light.
[0096] As shown in Figure 13, the optical function portion 122 includes a first functional portion, a second functional portion, and a third functional portion. Specifically, the first functional portion is used to convert light emitted by the light-emitting functional layer 111 into red light; the second functional portion is used to convert light emitted by the light-emitting functional layer 111 into green light; and the third functional portion is used to convert light emitted by the light-emitting functional layer 111 into blue light or maintain it in a blue state. A plurality of filter units 125 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of light passage holes.
[0097] Exemplarily, the first functional portion includes a red quantum dot material that converts light into red light. Preferably, the first functional portion also includes scattering particles for scattering light. Here, light emitted from the corresponding light-emitting functional layer, upon striking the first functional portion distributed within the corresponding opening area, is converted into red light by the red quantum dots. The scattering particles scatter the red light and the red light, ensuring that more light is converted into red light by the red quantum dots and that the converted red light has a larger emission angle, thereby ensuring a wider viewing angle for the light-emitting component.
[0098] Exemplarily, the second functional portion includes a green quantum dot material that converts light into green light. Preferably, the first functional portion also includes scattering particles for scattering light. Here, light emitted from the corresponding light-emitting functional layer, upon striking the first functional portion distributed within the corresponding opening area, is converted into green light by the green quantum dots. The scattering particles scatter the green light and the green light, ensuring that more light is converted into green light by the green quantum dots and that the converted green light has a wide emission angle, thereby widening the viewing angle of the light-emitting component.
[0099] Exemplarily, the third functional portion is used to convert light into blue light or maintain blue light emission. Exemplarily, when the light contains only blue light, the third functional portion can be a transparent portion or include blue quantum dots; wherein the transparent portion is used for direct transmission of light, and the blue quantum dots can be used to convert the light into blue light with a wavelength different from that of the light. Preferably, the third functional portion also includes scattering particles for scattering the light. Here, after the light emitted by the corresponding light-emitting functional layer is emitted to the third functional portion distributed in the corresponding opening area, the scattering particles can scatter the light to ensure that the blue light has a larger emission angle, thereby ensuring that the viewing angle of the light-emitting component integrated with such a light-emitting component is larger. For example, when the light contains ultraviolet light, the third functional portion includes blue quantum dots that convert the light into blue light, or the third functional portion is simultaneously distributed with scattering particles for scattering the light and blue quantum dots for converting ultraviolet light into blue light.
[0100] Moreover, the multiple filter units 125 include a first filter unit 125a, a second filter unit 125b and a third filter unit 125c; wherein the first filter unit 125a is a red color block or a red, green and blue-transparent filter film, and is arranged corresponding to the first functional part to ensure that red light passes through; the second filter unit 125b is a green color block or a red, green and blue-transparent filter film, and is arranged corresponding to the second functional part to ensure that green light passes through; the third filter unit 125c is a blue color block or a transparent layer, and is arranged corresponding to the third functional part to ensure that blue light passes through.
[0101] For example, the red color resist can transmit red light and absorb light of other colors. In this way, light emitted from the first functional portion can be emitted after passing through the first filter unit, and the first filter unit can filter out light of other colors except red light to ensure that the blue light component in the light is filtered out.
[0102] Illustratively, the red-green anti-blue filter film can allow the red light portion of the light emitted from the first functional part to pass through and reflect the blue light. In this way, the red light in the light can be emitted through the first filter unit, while the blue light can be reflected back to the first functional part by the first filter unit, so that the red quantum dots in the first functional part can excite the blue light into red light, thereby further improving the excitation efficiency of the red quantum dots.
[0103] For example, the green color resist can transmit green light and absorb light of other colors. In this way, light emitted from the second functional portion can be emitted after passing through the second filter unit, and the second filter unit can filter out light of other colors except green light to ensure that the blue light component in the light is filtered out.
[0104] Illustratively, the above-mentioned red-green-transmitting and blue-reflecting filter film can allow the green light portion of the light emitted from the second functional part to pass through and reflect the blue light. In this way, the green light in the light can be emitted through the second filter unit, while the blue light can be reflected back to the second functional part by the second filter unit, so that the green quantum dots in the second functional part can excite the blue light into green light, thereby further improving the excitation efficiency of the green quantum dots.
[0105] For example, the blue color resist can transmit blue light and absorb light of other colors. Thus, light emitted from the third functional portion can pass through the third filter unit before exiting, and the third filter unit can filter out light of other colors except blue light, thereby transmitting relatively pure blue light.
[0106] For example, since the first functional portion, the second functional portion, and the third functional portion can all generate blue light, a transparent layer is used as the third filter unit to transmit the blue light.
[0107] In some examples, as shown in FIG1 , the light-emitting unit 11 includes multiple light-emitting functional layers 111. The second semiconductor layer 112 includes an auxiliary portion 1122, at least a portion of which is located between adjacent connecting portions 1121. The auxiliary portion 1122 integrates the connecting portions 1121 into an integral structure. The common electrode 113 is connected to the auxiliary portion 1122. That is, the multiple light-emitting functional layers 111 are connected to the entire second semiconductor layer 112, and the multiple light-emitting functional layers 111 share the same second semiconductor layer 112.
[0108] In a specific embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 , a portion of the auxiliary portion 1122 located between adjacent connecting portions 1121 is connected to one connecting portion 1121 on one side and to another connecting portion 1121 on the other side.
[0109] In some examples, as shown in FIG10 , the support portion 14 includes a support body and a plurality of avoidance holes 143 . The avoidance holes 143 are arranged one-to-one with the light-emitting functional layer 111 so that light emitted from the light-emitting functional layer 111 can enter the opening area through the avoidance holes 143 . The support body is arranged around the avoidance holes 143 to block obliquely emitted light from the light-emitting functional layer 111, preventing the oblique light from being reflected back into the second semiconductor layer 112 upon encountering the limiting dam surface in the color conversion unit 12, thereby preventing light crosstalk in the second semiconductor layer 112. This also prevents light crosstalk within the color conversion unit 12, which could lead to color crosstalk between the multiple filter units 125 . As will be readily understood, the support portion 14 is made of a light-shielding material.
[0110] In some examples, the opening area defining the dam layer 121 includes a first opening surface close to the first substrate 15 and a second opening surface facing away from the first substrate 15; the orthographic projection of the support portion 14 on the first substrate 15 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second opening surface on the first substrate 15, so as to avoid blocking the normal emission of light emitted by the light-emitting unit 11.
[0111] In some examples, as shown in Figure 11, the above-mentioned auxiliary portion 1122 includes a first auxiliary portion 1122a connected to the common electrode 113, a second auxiliary portion 1122 located between two adjacent connecting portions 1121 or between the connecting portion 1121 and the first connecting portion 1121, and a third auxiliary portion 1122c surrounding the first auxiliary portion 1122a, the second auxiliary portion 1122, and the connecting portion 1121 as a whole.
[0112] The common electrode 113 includes a first side and a second side that are oppositely disposed, as well as a third side and a fourth side that are oppositely disposed; the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side are all located on the third auxiliary portion 1122c. The second supporting layer 142 of the supporting layer includes a plurality of first supporting units 1421 distributed along the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side to support the cell thickness in the region corresponding to each light-emitting functional layer 111, thereby ensuring uniform cell thickness in the region corresponding to each light-emitting functional layer 111, and further ensuring that light emitted by each light-emitting functional layer 111 can be emitted along the normal optical path without color deviation.
[0113] In some examples, the support portion body includes a first support layer 141 and a second support layer 142, the first support layer 141 is arranged in contact with the first encapsulation layer 123, and the second support layer 142 is located on the side of the first support layer 141 away from the first encapsulation layer 123; in the thickness direction of the first support layer 141, the parallel projection area of the first support layer 141 on the color conversion unit 12 is greater than the parallel projection area of the second support layer 142 on the color conversion unit 12.
[0114] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12, the second supporting layer 142 also includes a plurality of second supporting units 1422, and the second supporting units 1422 are located at corresponding positions of the first auxiliary part 1122a and / or the third auxiliary part 1122c, that is, the box thickness is supported in the peripheral area of all light-emitting functional layers 111, thereby ensuring that the box thickness in the area at the edge of the light-emitting unit 11 is uniform, and further ensuring that the light emitted at the edge of the light-emitting unit 11 can be emitted along the normal light path without color deviation.
[0115] As shown in Figure 9, the first support layer 141 can be a whole-surface support layer with multiple avoidance through holes 143 to minimize the color conversion unit 12 from being squeezed and deformed; the multiple first support units 1421 and second support units 1422 in the second support layer 142 can support the first support layer 141 in the form of "point" support, and can be stably combined with the bonding layer 13 to ensure that the entire support body stably supports the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12.
[0116] Alternatively, in other examples, the first supporting layer 141 may be a partial layer structure located between a plurality of adjacent avoidance holes 143. For example, as shown in FIG10 , the parallel projection of the first supporting layer 141 on the color conversion unit 12 may be in the shape of a cross. In this case, the first supporting layer 141 can block light crosstalk between adjacent filter units 125 but cannot prevent lateral light leakage in the edge region of the light-emitting unit 11.
[0117] In this example, the shapes of the first support unit 1421 and the second support unit 1422 are not particularly limited, as long as they can stably support the first support layer 141. For example, the shapes of the first support unit 1421 and the second support unit 1422 are at least one of a columnar platform and a bar platform.
[0118] In some examples, as shown in FIG11 , the projection of the second semiconductor layer 112 onto the first substrate 15 is rectangular. There are three connecting portions 1121, corresponding one-to-one to the three color filter units 125. The first auxiliary portion 1122a and the three connecting portions 1121 are arranged in a 2×2 array, so that the projection of the light-emitting unit 11 onto the plane of the first substrate 15 is generally rectangular, facilitating cutting during the manufacturing process.
[0119] In some examples, the thickness of the support portion 14 and the bonding layer 13 in the first direction are consistent.
[0120] In some examples, the length of the support portion 14 in the thickness direction of the second semiconductor layer 112 is between 0.5 microns and 3 microns. Specifically, if the thickness of the support portion 14 is less than 0.5 microns, the support portion 14 is difficult to form during the manufacturing process, and the bonding layer 13 provided on the same layer as the support portion 14 may have uneven thickness during the manufacturing process, thereby affecting the morphology of the final support portion 14 and the bonding layer 13. If the thickness of the support portion 14 is greater than 3 microns, the bonding layer 13 is too thick, resulting in an excessive distance between the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit 11 and the light-entering surface of the color conversion unit 12, thereby causing light crosstalk in the bonding layer 13, which is likely to cause color crosstalk. It is also easy to understand that the closer the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit 11 is to the light-entering surface of the color conversion unit 12, the larger the angle range of light that can be received. Conversely, if the distance between the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit 11 and the light-entering surface of the color conversion unit 12 is too large, the angle range of light received by the color conversion unit 12 will be smaller, thereby reducing the effective utilization rate of light. It can be seen that the length of the support portion 14 in the thickness direction of the second semiconductor layer 112 is set within the above-mentioned size range, which can not only make it easy to shape the support portion 14 and the bonding layer 13 during the manufacturing process, but also avoid the bonding layer 13 set on the same layer as the support portion 14 from being too thick, thereby reducing the risk of color crosstalk and improving the effective utilization rate of light.
[0121] In some preferred examples, the thickness of the support portion 14 in the thickness direction of the second semiconductor layer can range from 0.8 microns to 1.2 microns. Within this range, while further ensuring the formation of the support portion 14 and the bonding layer 13, the risk of light crosstalk in the bonding layer 13 is further reduced, the risk of color crosstalk is reduced, and the effective utilization rate of light is further improved.
[0122] In some examples, the length of the support portion 14 in the thickness direction of the second semiconductor layer 112 is in the range of 0.5 microns to 3 microns, and the thickness range of the first support layer 141 in the thickness direction of the second semiconductor layer is less than 2 microns, so as to leave sufficient thickness for the second support layer 142 so that the second support layer 142 can provide sufficient supporting force; moreover, it can also prevent the partial bonding layer 13 on the same layer as the second support layer 142 from being too thin to cause uneven thickness.
[0123] Furthermore, since the first support layer 141 primarily serves to block light obliquely emitted from the light-emitting functional layer 111, the minimum thickness of the first support layer 141 is negatively correlated with the photoresistivity of the material of the first support layer 141. That is, the stronger the photoresistivity of the material of the first support layer 141, the smaller the minimum thickness of the first support layer 141. Conversely, the weaker the photoresistivity of the material of the first support layer 141, the thicker the minimum thickness of the first support layer 141. For example, when the optical resistivity (OD) of the material of the first support layer 141 is 4, its light transmittance is approximately 0.01%. If processing accuracy permits, the thickness of the first support layer 141 in the first direction is preferably in the range of approximately 1 micron. In this case, the first support layer 141 can both block light laterally emitted from the light-emitting functional layer 111 and leave sufficient thickness for the second support layer 142 to provide sufficient support.
[0124] In some examples, the orthographic projection area of the second supporting layer 142 along the first substrate 15 accounts for 1500 to 4500 μm² / mm² of the orthographic projection area of the light-emitting unit 11 along the first substrate 15, ensuring that the contact surface between the second supporting layer 142 and the light-emitting unit 11 accounts for 1500 to 4500 μm² / mm². Within this range, the second supporting layer 142 can provide sufficient support between the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12. Furthermore, because the viscosity and fluidity of the bonding layer 13 are significantly affected by external structures, setting the orthographic projection area of the second supporting layer 142 along the first substrate 15 within the aforementioned size range ensures that the second supporting layer 142 in contact with the bonding layer 13 is relatively narrow, achieving a "puncture" effect on the bonding layer, thereby promoting material flow in the bonding layer 13 and improving the thickness uniformity of the bonding layer 13. Accordingly, the thickness range of the second supporting layer 142 can be designed based on the thickness range of the support portion 14 and the thickness design range of the first supporting layer 141.
[0125] It should be noted that the thickness design of the support portion 14 also depends on the impact of light leakage on the severity of color shift.
[0126] Taking a light-emitting component 1 with a 1-micron-thick laminating layer 13 and a 1-micron-thick support portion 14 as an example, the inventors discovered through multiple field measurements that, when the color shift is reduced to 2%, the blue light leakage ratio needs to be reduced to 0.05%. In this case, the thickness of the second support layer 142 of the support portion 14 can be designed to be 0.825 microns, thus meeting the actual requirement of reducing the color shift to 2%.
[0127] In some examples, the thickness of the dam layer 121 in the first direction is defined to be in a range of 1 micrometer to 30 micrometers.
[0128] Furthermore, in some preferred examples, the thickness range of the dam layer 121 in the first direction is limited to 1um to 15um. In such a thickness design method, the thickness range of the optical functional part 122 arranged in the opening area of the dam layer 121 in the first direction can also be 1um to 15um, so as to ensure the color conversion effect of the optical functional part 122 on light, without making the optical functional part 122 too thick to affect the light transmittance, and can save the material of the optical functional part 122 and achieve the overall thinning effect of the color conversion unit 12.
[0129] In some examples, the light emitting assembly 1 further includes a dam layer 16. As shown in FIG5 , the dam layer 16 surrounds the outer periphery of the light emitting unit 11 to block light emitted from the light emitting unit 11 to the periphery to prevent light leakage from the periphery of the light emitting unit 11.
[0130] In some examples, as shown in FIG6 , the dam layer 16 and the support portion 14 are integrally formed to reduce process costs. For example, the dam layer 16 and the support portion 14 can be formed using a single halftone process using the same mask. Thus, only one mask is required to form the dam layer 16 and the support portion 14.
[0131] For example, as shown in FIG6 , a portion of the dam layer 16 also surrounds the periphery of the bonding layer 13. Furthermore, since the thickness of the dam layer 16 and the thickness of the light-emitting unit 11 are generally determined, the thickness design of the bonding layer 13 needs to take these two thicknesses into consideration. Specifically, the bonding layer 13 cannot be so thick that the dam layer 16 cannot surround the periphery of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit 11. Furthermore, since the thickness of the bonding layer 13 depends on the thickness of the support portion 14, the thickness of the support portion 14 must be at least 4 microns less than that of the dam layer 16 to avoid affecting the dam layer 16's ability to block light leakage from the periphery of the light-emitting unit 11.
[0132] In some examples, as shown in Figures 5-7, the dam layer 121 is defined with a concave-convex portion 1211 on one side surface close to the first encapsulation layer 123. The concave-convex portion 1211 is an uneven surface of the dam layer 121 to avoid total reflection of light when reaching the surface of the dam layer 121, thereby reducing the occurrence of cross-color; the first encapsulation layer 123 fills the concave-convex portion 1211 to form an uneven convex morphology on the light-emitting surface of the first encapsulation layer 123 to destroy the waveguide emission of light at the corresponding position, thereby further reducing the occurrence of cross-color of light emitted from the waveguide of the encapsulation layer.
[0133] Illustratively, the concave-convex portion 1211 includes a plurality of grooves defined on the surface of the dam layer 12 .
[0134] For example, an ashing process may be used to form the plurality of grooves 1211 on a surface of the dam layer 121 that is adjacent to the first encapsulation layer 123 .
[0135] In some examples, as shown in FIG8 , the light-emitting component 1 further includes a grating structure 17 ; the grating structure 17 is disposed on a side of the second semiconductor layer 112 close to the bonding layer, i.e., a light-emitting side of the second semiconductor layer 112 ; the grating structure 17 is configured to adjust the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 11 to be emitted within a preset angle range, thereby further avoiding crosstalk caused by oblique light.
[0136] Exemplarily, the grating structure 17 includes, for example, a grating body and a light-transmitting slit arranged in the grating body; wherein the grating body is made of, for example, the same material as the second semiconductor layer 112; and the light-transmitting slit is filled with an adhesive material that is the same as the material of the bonding layer 13. Specifically, the light-emitting angle of the light-emitting unit 11 can be limited by adjusting the periodic size of the grating body, the height in the thickness direction of the bonding layer, and the width of the light-transmitting slit. Specifically, the preparation method of the above-mentioned grating structure 17 is, for example: a plurality of grooves arranged in parallel are processed on the light-emitting side surface of the second semiconductor layer 112, and the plurality of grooves are used as the light-transmitting slits of the grating structure; a plurality of protrusions arranged in parallel are correspondingly formed between adjacent grooves, and the plurality of protrusions are used as the grating body structure; and, in the process of forming the bonding layer 13, the bonding layer material is filled into the plurality of light-transmitting slits, thereby forming the above-mentioned grating structure 17. Moreover, the grating structure 17 can make the interface between the second semiconductor layer 112 and the bonding layer 13 uneven, thereby reducing the total reflection of light at the interface between the second semiconductor layer 112 and the bonding layer 13 and reducing the risk of light crosstalk in the second semiconductor layer 112.
[0137] As another technical solution, the present disclosure also provides a method for preparing a light-emitting component 1, as shown in FIG13 , which includes the following steps:
[0138] S1, preparing a support portion 14 on at least one of the light emitting side of the light emitting unit 11 and the light incident side of the color conversion unit 12;
[0139] S2. Place adhesive on at least one of the light-emitting side of the light-emitting unit 11 and the light-incident side of the color conversion unit 12;
[0140] S3 , laminating the light emitting side of the light emitting unit 11 and the light incident side of the color conversion unit 12 to each other, so as to achieve alignment of the light emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 , and forming a laminating layer 13 with laminating glue.
[0141] Furthermore, in some examples, the following steps are further included before the above step S1:
[0142] S0. The light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 are independently manufactured. After the light-emitting unit 11 and the color conversion unit 12 are formed, the color conversion layer unit and the initial chip wafer unit are aligned and bonded through the bonding layer 13 to form the light-emitting component 1.
[0143] The following describes the steps for forming the support portion. As described above, the support portion 14 includes a first support layer 141 and a second support layer 142. Therefore, the support portion 14 can have two structures: one in which the parallel projection area of the first support layer 141 of the support portion 14 on the color conversion unit 12 is larger than the parallel projection area of the second support layer 142 on the color conversion unit 12; and another in which the parallel projections of the first support layer 141 and the second support layer 142 of the support portion 14 on the color conversion unit 12 are the same size.
[0144] Accordingly, when preparing the support portion 14 on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting unit 11, if the structure of the support portion 14 is the former, the above step S1 specifically includes:
[0145] S111: forming a second supporting layer 142 with a smaller size on the light-emitting side surface of the light-emitting unit 11, wherein the second supporting layer 142 includes a plurality of supporting units;
[0146] S112 : forming a first supporting layer 141 on the second supporting layer 142 , wherein the first supporting layer 141 has a plurality of avoidance through holes 143 .
[0147] When the support portion 14 is prepared on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting unit 11, if the structure of the support portion 14 is the latter, the above step S1 specifically includes:
[0148] S121: forming a whole layer of a support portion 14 on the light-emitting side surface of the light-emitting unit 11, wherein the support portion 14 has a plurality of avoidance through holes 143.
[0149] When the support portion 14 is prepared on the light incident side of the color conversion unit 12, if the structure of the support portion 14 is the former, the above step S1 specifically includes:
[0150] S131: forming a first supporting layer 141 on the light-emitting side surface of the color conversion unit 12, wherein the first supporting layer 141 has a plurality of avoidance through holes 143;
[0151] S132 : forming a second supporting layer 142 with a smaller size on the first supporting layer 141 , wherein the second supporting layer 142 includes a plurality of supporting units.
[0152] When the support portion 14 is prepared on the light incident side of the color conversion unit 12 , if the structure of the support portion 14 is the latter, the above step S1 specifically includes:
[0153] S141: forming a whole layer of a supporting portion 14 on the light incident side surface of the color conversion unit 12, wherein the supporting portion 14 has a plurality of avoidance through holes 143.
[0154] Illustratively, the support structure may be prepared using a half-tone process.
[0155] The following describes the steps of forming the bonding layer 13. If bonding glue is placed on the light emitting unit 11 in the above step S2, the steps of forming the bonding glue layer on the light emitting unit 11 specifically include:
[0156] S211, providing a temporary substrate, and bonding the light emitting unit 11 onto the temporary substrate, with the second semiconductor layer 112 being disposed away from the temporary substrate;
[0157] S212, coating an adhesive material layer on the surface of the light emitting unit 11 away from the temporary substrate; that is, coating an adhesive material layer on the surface of the second semiconductor layer 112 away from the temporary substrate;
[0158] Exemplarily, the adhesive material is an organic adhesive material such as epoxy resin, and the adhesive material layer can be formed by a steel screen printing process.
[0159] If a bonding adhesive is placed on the color conversion unit 12 in the above step S2, the steps of forming a bonding adhesive layer on the color conversion unit 12 specifically include:
[0160] S221, providing a temporary substrate, and bonding the color conversion unit 12 onto the temporary substrate, with the first encapsulation layer 123 being disposed away from the temporary substrate;
[0161] S222, coating an adhesive material layer on the surface of the light-emitting unit 11 on the side away from the temporary substrate; that is, coating an adhesive material layer on the surface of the first encapsulation layer 123 on the side away from the temporary substrate;
[0162] It will be appreciated that during the fabrication of the light-emitting units 11, an initial wafer A is typically used. Specifically, as shown in FIG14 , the initial wafer A includes a plurality of light-emitting units 11 arranged in an array. As shown in FIG15 , during the fabrication of the color conversion units 12, a large panel N comprising a plurality of color conversion units 12 arranged in an array is typically formed simultaneously. Therefore, before the color conversion units 12 and the light-emitting units 11 are aligned, a step is included to cut the large panel N of the color conversion units 12 to form a plurality of initial aligned panels B. Specifically, as shown in FIG16 , the initial aligned panel B includes a plurality of color conversion units 12.
[0163] The following describes the steps of aligning the initial wafer A and the initial aligning plate B to finally form a single light emitting component 1. Specifically,
[0164] S31, aligning the initial wafer A and the initial aligning plate B, so as to bond the initial wafer A and the initial aligning plate B via the adhesive material layer on one surface thereof;
[0165] It is easy to understand that in order to ensure that the multiple light-emitting units 11 in the initial chip A and the multiple color conversion units 12 in the initial mating plate B can correspond one to one, two initial chips A and initial mating plate B with consistent unit distribution can be selected. Then, in the above step S31, the edges of the initial chip A and the initial mating plate B can be overlapped to make the multiple light-emitting units 11 and the multiple color conversion units 12 correspond one to one.
[0166] S32, removing the temporary substrate;
[0167] For example, the adhesive between the temporary substrate and the initial wafer A or between the temporary substrate and the initial bonding plate B can be debonded by irradiating ultraviolet light to remove the temporary substrate and the adhesive.
[0168] S33, forming an initial light-emitting component board;
[0169] S35 , cutting the initial light-emitting component board to obtain individual light-emitting components 1 .
[0170] For example, the projection of the bonding layer on the multiple light-emitting functional layers in the single light-emitting component 1 obtained after cutting covers the multiple light-emitting functional layers. That is, when the initial wafer A is prepared, the bonding layer is provided as a whole layer.
[0171] For example, the thickness of the first substrate 15 is reduced to 60 to 200 microns. This results in a light-emitting component 1 that is approximately cube-shaped, making it more stable and easier to use in subsequent processes. Using a thicker initial first substrate 15 during the fabrication of the light-emitting unit 11 facilitates chip structure processing.
[0172] As another technical solution, the present disclosure further provides a light-emitting chip, which includes the light-emitting component 1 described above.
