[0038] Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0040] A micro-LED display chip includes a micro-LED array, which is a high-density integrated array of LEDs with a pitch of microns. Each micro-LED element in the micro-LED array acts as a pixel and can be independently addressed and illuminated to display the corresponding image.
[0041] However, most current Micro-LED display chips use wavelength conversion elements to convert the excitation light emitted by the Micro-LED components into different wavelengths to achieve color display. As shown in Figure 1, the blue light emitted by Micro-LED component 01 excites the red wavelength conversion element 02 to produce red light, and the green wavelength conversion element 02 to produce green light. This mixed light of red, green, and blue light is then used to create a color display. However, due to the low conversion efficiency and lifespan of wavelength conversion element 02, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the Micro-LED display chip are also reduced.
[0042] Based on this, the present application provides a display solution, which forms at least two light-emitting structure layers stacked and connected in series in a Micro-LED element, so that the at least two light-emitting structure layers respectively emit at least two colors of light, and transmit at least two colors of light respectively through at least two filter elements to perform color display, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the Micro-LED display chip.
[0043] As an optional implementation of the contents disclosed in this application, an embodiment of this application discloses a Micro-LED display chip. As shown in FIG2 , the Micro-LED display chip includes a driving panel 10 and a plurality of Micro-LED elements 11 and a plurality of filter elements 12 located on one side of the driving panel 10 .
[0044] In particular, multiple Micro-LED elements 11 are spaced apart, and each Micro-LED element 11 includes at least two light-emitting structure layers, each of which can emit at least two colors of light. In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the Micro-LED element 11 includes a first light-emitting structure layer 111, a second light-emitting structure layer 112, and a third light-emitting structure layer 113. The first light-emitting structure layer 111 can emit a first color of light, the second light-emitting structure layer 112 can emit a second color of light, and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 can emit a third color of light. The first color of light, the second color of light, and the third color of light are green, red, and blue, respectively.
[0045] At least two light-emitting structure layers are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the driving panel 10 so that at least two colors of light are synthesized into mixed light and emitted. In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the first light-emitting structure layer 111 , the second light-emitting structure layer 112 , and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the driving panel 10 so that the green light, red light, and blue light emitted by them are synthesized into mixed light and emitted.
[0046] At least two light-emitting structure layers are connected in series so that when the driving panel 10 drives the Micro-LED element 11 alone, the at least two light-emitting structure layers within the Micro-LED element 11 emit light synchronously. In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the first light-emitting structure layer 111, the second light-emitting structure layer 112, and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 are sequentially connected in series so that when the driving panel 10 drives the Micro-LED element 11 alone, the first light-emitting structure layer 111, the second light-emitting structure layer 112, and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 within the Micro-LED element 11 emit light synchronously.
[0047] Multiple filter elements 12 are respectively arranged corresponding to the multiple Micro-LED elements 11, and the filter elements 12 are at least arranged above the light-emitting surface of the corresponding Micro-LED element 11. The light-emitting surface of the Micro-LED element 11 is the surface of the side of the Micro-LED element 11 facing away from the driving panel 10. The multiple filter elements 12 include at least two filter elements, each filter element 12 can transmit one color of the mixed light emitted by the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 and filter other colors of light. At least two filter elements can respectively transmit at least two colors of light and filter other colors of light. The material of the filter element 12 includes an organic filter material, or the filter element 12 includes an inorganic Bragg reflector, etc.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the filter element 12 includes a first filter element 121, a second filter element 122, and a third filter element 123. The first filter element 121 can transmit a first color of mixed light emitted by the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 and filter out other colors of light. The second filter element 122 can transmit a second color of mixed light emitted by the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 and filter out other colors of light. The third filter element 123 can transmit a third color of mixed light emitted by the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 and filter out other colors of light. The first, second, and third colors of light transmitted by the filter element 12 are green, red, and blue, respectively, so that the green, red, and blue lights transmitted by the filter element 12 can be displayed in full color.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the examples in which the Micro-LED element 11 includes three light-emitting structure layers and the filter element 12 includes three color filter elements are used for illustration. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. In other embodiments, the Micro-LED element 11 may include two, four, or even more light-emitting structure layers. For example, the Micro-LED element 11 may include a first light-emitting structure layer that emits a first color of light and a second light-emitting structure layer that emits a second color of light. In other embodiments, the filter element 12 may include two, four, or even more color filter elements. For example, the filter element 12 may include a first filter element that transmits the first color of light and filters other colors of light, and a second filter element that transmits the second color of light and filters other colors of light. These details are not further described here.
[0050] Because the Micro-LED element 11 includes at least two light-emitting structural layers, the at least two colors of light emitted by the at least two light-emitting structural layers can be synthesized into a mixed light. Furthermore, the at least two light filters 12 can transmit at least two colors of the mixed light emitted by the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 and filter out the other colors. Therefore, the at least two colors of light transmitted by the at least two light filters 12 can be used for color display, eliminating the need for wavelength conversion elements. This can improve the luminous efficiency, brightness, and lifespan of the Micro-LED display chip. Furthermore, because the at least two light-emitting structural layers are stacked and connected in series, the driver design and manufacturing process of the Micro-LED element 11 can be simplified.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, to improve the light extraction efficiency of the Micro-LED element 11, the arrangement order of the at least two light-emitting structure layers within the same Micro-LED element 11 is restricted. For example, the at least two light-emitting structure layers are arranged from bottom to top in descending order of transmittance of the emitted color light. In some embodiments, the first light-emitting structure layer 111 emits red light as a first color, the second light-emitting structure layer 112 emits green light as a second color, and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 emits blue light as a third color.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to achieve the series connection of at least two light-emitting structure layers, any two adjacent light-emitting structure layers in the same Micro-LED element 11 are electrically connected, the light-emitting structure layer farthest from the driving panel in any Micro-LED element 11 is electrically connected to the first contact 101 of the driving panel 10, and the light-emitting structure layer closest to the driving panel 10 in any Micro-LED element 11 is electrically connected to the second contact 102 of the driving panel 10.
[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the first light-emitting structure layer 111 is electrically connected to the second light-emitting structure layer 112, the second light-emitting structure layer 112 is electrically connected to the third light-emitting structure layer 113, the third light-emitting structure layer 113 is electrically connected to the first contact 101 of the driving panel 10, and the first light-emitting structure layer 111 is electrically connected to the second contact 102 of the driving panel 10.
[0054] It should be noted that the driving panel 10 includes a substrate, multiple driving circuits located on one side of the substrate, and multiple first contacts 101 and multiple second contacts 102 electrically connected to the multiple driving circuits. The first contacts 101 are located between adjacent Micro-LED elements 11, and the second contacts 102 are located below the corresponding Micro-LED element 11. Each driving circuit includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device or a thin film transistor (TFT) device, and is electrically connected to a first contact 101 and a second contact 102. Each driving circuit provides a first voltage to the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 through the first contact 101 and provides a second voltage to the corresponding Micro-LED element 11 through the second contact 102, so that the Micro-LED element 11 is driven by the first voltage and the second voltage having a voltage difference.
[0055] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure layer includes a stacked first doped semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, and a second doped semiconductor layer. As shown in FIG3 , the first light-emitting structure layer 111 includes a stacked first first doped semiconductor layer 111a, a first light-emitting layer 111b, and a first second doped semiconductor layer 111c. The second light-emitting structure layer 112 includes a stacked second first doped semiconductor layer 112a, a second light-emitting layer 112b, and a second second doped semiconductor layer 112c. The third light-emitting structure layer 113 includes a stacked third first doped semiconductor layer 113a, a third light-emitting layer 113b, and a third second doped semiconductor layer 113c. The light-emitting layers in the first light-emitting structure layer 111, the second light-emitting structure layer 112, and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 have different colors, so that the first light-emitting structure layer 111, the second light-emitting structure layer 112, and the third light-emitting structure layer 113 emit light of different colors.
[0056] Furthermore, in any two adjacent light-emitting structure layers within the same Micro-LED element 11, the first doped semiconductor layer of one light-emitting structure layer is adjacent to and electrically connected to the second doped semiconductor layer of the other light-emitting structure layer, so that any two adjacent light-emitting structure layers within the same Micro-LED element 11 are electrically connected. In some embodiments, the first doped semiconductor layer, the light-emitting layer, and the second doped semiconductor layer in the light-emitting structure layer can be stacked sequentially in a direction away from or close to the driving panel 10. When the first doped semiconductor layer, the light-emitting layer, and the second doped semiconductor layer are stacked sequentially in a direction close to the driving panel 10, the first doped semiconductor layer of the light-emitting structure layer farthest from the driving panel in any Micro-LED element 11 is electrically connected to the first contact 101 of the driving panel 10, so that the light-emitting structure layer farthest from the driving panel in any Micro-LED element 11 is electrically connected to the first contact 101 of the driving panel 10. The second doped semiconductor layer of the light emitting structure layer closest to the driving panel 10 in any Micro-LED element 11 is electrically connected to the second contact 102 of the driving panel 10, so that the light emitting structure layer closest to the driving panel 10 in any Micro-LED element 11 is electrically connected to the second contact 102 of the driving panel 10. The first doped semiconductor layer and the second doped semiconductor layer are oppositely doped semiconductor layers, that is, if the first doped semiconductor layer is an N-type semiconductor layer, the second doped semiconductor layer is a P-type semiconductor layer, or if the first doped semiconductor layer is a P-type semiconductor layer, the second doped semiconductor layer is an N-type semiconductor layer.
[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3, when the first doped semiconductor layer, the light-emitting layer and the second doped semiconductor layer are stacked in sequence along a direction away from the driving panel 10, the first second doped semiconductor layer 111c of the first light-emitting structure layer 111 is adjacent to and electrically connected to the second first doped semiconductor layer 112a of the second light-emitting structure layer 112, the second second doped semiconductor layer 112c of the second light-emitting structure layer 112 is electrically connected to the third first doped semiconductor layer 113a of the third light-emitting structure layer 113, the third second doped semiconductor layer 113c of the third light-emitting structure layer 113 is electrically connected to the first contact 101 of the driving panel 10, and the first first doped semiconductor layer 111a of the first light-emitting structure layer 111 is electrically connected to the second contact 102 of the driving panel 10.
[0058] Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the light-emitting structure layer includes a stacked first electrode layer, a first doped semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, a second doped semiconductor layer, and a second electrode layer. As shown in FIG4 , the first light-emitting structure layer 111 includes a stacked first electrode layer 111d, a first first doped semiconductor layer 111a, a first light-emitting layer 111b, a first second doped semiconductor layer 111c, and a first second electrode layer 111e.
