Specific embodiments
[0071] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0072] LED (light-emitting diode) manufacturing is trending towards ever-increasing miniaturization. This has made it possible to fabricate display substrates using arrays of Micro LEDs (micro-LEDs) as pixels, a concept proposed in recent years. LEDs offer significant advantages in reliability and longevity over OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes). Micro LED displays, as the next generation of advanced display technology, offer irreplaceable ultra-high brightness and a compact chip size. Therefore, Micro LED display technology is poised to surpass OLED in the future.
[0073] In the related art, the bottom of the existing Micro LED device is a flat metal electrode, which faces the problem of reduced ambient contrast due to ambient light reflection. In order to obtain high ambient contrast in small-size pixel Micro LED display devices, a circular polarizer is generally set on the top of the display device to suppress the reflection of ambient light on the metal at the bottom of the Micro LED device. However, although the setting of the circular polarizer can reduce the reflectivity of ambient light, it will lead to reduced luminous efficiency and increased power consumption of the Micro LED display device. In addition, the process is complex and the integration is low, requiring multiple alignment and bonding. In addition, the working bandwidth of the circular polarizer is limited, and RGB patterning cannot be achieved, resulting in a decrease in contrast. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the reflectivity of ambient light while improving the luminous efficiency of the device has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.
[0074] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a light-emitting device. Figure 1 schematically shows a hierarchical structure diagram of a light-emitting device. As shown in Figure 1, the light-emitting device includes: a substrate 11; a light-emitting layer 12, wherein the light-emitting layer 12 is arranged on one side of the substrate 11; a first polarizing layer 13, wherein the first polarizing layer 13 is arranged on a side of the light-emitting layer 12 close to the substrate 11, and the first polarizing layer 13 and the light-emitting layer 12 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the substrate 11.
[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first polarizing layer 13 exhibits asymmetric optical polarization characteristics, and the optical polarization characteristics of the first polarizing layer 13 for ambient light incident from the outside and the spontaneous light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12 are different. Specifically, the ambient light incident from the outside and the spontaneous light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12 respectively reach opposite sides of the first polarizing layer 13. When the light-emitting device is irradiated by ambient light, the ambient light is incident from the side of the first polarizing layer 13 away from the light-emitting layer 12, and the spontaneous light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12 is incident from the side of the first polarizing layer 13 closer to the light-emitting layer 12. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical polarization characteristics of the side of the first polarizing layer 13 closer to the light-emitting layer 12 are different from the optical polarization characteristics of the side farther from the light-emitting layer 12.
[0076] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the side of the first polarizing layer 13 adjacent to the light-emitting layer 12 is configured to reflect the second type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12 and transmit the first type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12. Since the self-luminous light is a light containing both the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light, the first polarizing layer 13 is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting device. The light emitted by the light-emitting device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure needs to be modulated into the first type of polarized light with a uniform polarization state. When the self-luminous light reaches the first polarizing layer 13, it must first be modulated into the first type of polarized light by the hierarchical structure provided in the light-emitting device in the embodiment of the present disclosure before being emitted, thereby ensuring the image quality of the emitted light. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure configures the first polarizing layer 13 on the side close to the light-emitting layer 12 to transmit the first type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12, and at the same time reflect the second type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer 12. When the spontaneous light reaches the first polarizing layer 13, the first type of polarized light in the spontaneous light is emitted from the light-emitting device, and the second type of polarized light in the spontaneous light is reflected back into the light-emitting device. The phase of the second type of polarized light is modulated into the first type of polarized light through the internal polarization hierarchical structure and then emitted from the first polarizing layer 13, thereby ensuring that the phase of the light emitted by the light-emitting device is uniform while enhancing the light effect of the emitted light.
[0077] In the disclosed embodiment, the side of the first polarizing layer 13 away from the light-emitting layer 12 is configured to transmit the first type of polarized light in the ambient light and absorb the second type of polarized light in the ambient light. The ambient light incident from the outside is the same as the spontaneous light, also containing the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light. However, the ambient light is incident from the side of the first polarizing layer 13 away from the light-emitting layer 12. This ambient light will be reflected by the hierarchical structure located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting device. If the ambient light reflectivity is high, the reflected ambient light will mix with the first type of polarized light emitted from the first polarizing layer 13, thereby reducing the contrast of the light-emitting device. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first polarizing layer 13 is arranged on a side away from the light-emitting layer 12 to transmit the first type of polarized light in the ambient light and absorb the second type of polarized light in the ambient light. When the ambient light reaches the light-emitting side of the first polarizing layer 13, the first type of polarized light in the ambient light enters the interior of the light-emitting device and is emitted from the first polarizing layer 13 through reflection by the polarizing hierarchical structure in the light-emitting device, thereby realizing the use of the first type of polarized light in the ambient light to improve the light efficiency of the output light of the light-emitting device; at the same time, the second type of polarized light in the ambient light is repeatedly oscillated and absorbed by the first polarizing layer 13, reducing the reflection of the second type of polarized light in the first polarizing layer 13, thereby effectively reducing the reflectivity of the ambient light, ensuring that the second type of polarized light in the ambient light has a smaller proportion in the output first type of polarized light, thereby avoiding poor display caused by a decrease in the contrast of the output light.
[0078] In an optional embodiment, the asymmetric optical polarization characteristics of the first polarizing layer 13 are realized based on the internal structure of the first polarizing layer 13. As shown in FIG1 , the first polarizing layer 13 includes: a first grating, the first grating includes a plurality of first polarizing units 131, the plurality of first polarizing units 131 are arranged close to the light-emitting layer 12, there is a gap between two adjacent first polarizing units 131, and the plurality of first polarizing units 131 are periodically arranged along the first direction to form the first grating. Specifically, FIG2 shows an example diagram of a local cross-section of the first polarizing layer in the first grating proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure on a plane perpendicular to the substrate. As shown in FIG2 , the first polarizing unit 131 includes a first portion 1311 and a second portion 1312, the first portion 1311 is arranged on a side away from the light-emitting layer 12 (i.e., close to the ambient light side), and the second portion 1312 is arranged close to the light-emitting layer 12. The cross-sectional shapes of the first portion 1311 and the second portion 1312 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 are different. Based on each first polarizing unit The first portion 1311 and the second portion 1312 of the first polarizing element 131 have different shapes on either side, so that light reaching the first portion 1311 and the light reaching the second portion 1312 of the first polarizing element 131 achieve different forms of optical polarization. Specifically, the first portion 1311 is configured to transmit the first type of polarized light in the ambient light and absorb the second type of polarized light in the ambient light; the second portion is configured to reflect the second type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer and transmit the first type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer. Taking Figure 2 as an example, the cross-sectional shape of the first portion 1311 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is triangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the second portion 1312 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is rectangular. It should be noted that the cross-sectional shapes of the first portion 1311 and the second portion 1312 in Figure 2 are merely optional configurations provided to facilitate a better understanding for those skilled in the art. The specific cross-sectional shapes of the first portion 1311 and the second portion 1312 can be determined based on actual conditions.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first portion 1311 is used to enhance the optical path of the second type of polarized light in the ambient light within the first portion 1311, so that the second type of polarized light in the ambient light is absorbed after repeated oscillations within the first portion 1311, thereby reducing the second type of polarized light being absorbed rather than reflected when the ambient light enters the first portion 1311 of the first polarizing unit 131, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the ambient light, increasing the proportion of ambient light in the light emitted by the first polarizing layer 13, and improving the display effect. In an optional embodiment, the first portion 1311 includes a first side surface and multiple second side surfaces, the first side surface and the side of the second portion 1312 away from the light-emitting layer are parallel to each other and contact each other; adjacent two side surfaces of the multiple second side surfaces intersect and are arranged opposite to each other, and the orthographic projections of the multiple second side surfaces on the substrate are multiple straight lines. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the first portion 1311 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a triangle. The second portion 1312 includes a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side and a seventh side, the fourth side and the fifth side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, the sixth side and the seventh side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, and the sixth side and the fourth side are perpendicular to each other; wherein, the fourth side or the sixth side is parallel to and in contact with the first portion, and at this time, the cross-sectional shape of the second portion 1312 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a rectangle, and the cross-sectional shape of the first polarizing unit 131 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a composite figure of a triangle and a rectangle.
[0080] For example, Figure 3 shows an example diagram of the orthographic projection of the first grating in the first polarizing layer proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure on the substrate, and Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the shape of the first part and the second part of a first polarizing unit proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first part 1311 includes a first side surface ACDF, a second side surface BCEF and a third side surface ABDE that intersect with each other, and the first side surface ACDF and the second part 1312 are parallel to and in contact with each other on the side away from the light-emitting layer 13; the second side surface BCEF and the third side surface ABDE are arranged opposite to each other, and the orthographic projections of the second side surface BCEF and the third side surface ABDE on the substrate 11 are three parallel straight lines (i.e., straight line AD, straight line BE, and straight line FC). The second part 1312 includes a fourth side surface ACDF, a fifth side surface HIJK, a sixth side surface AHDG and a seventh side surface CFIK. The fourth side surface ACDF and the fifth side surface HIJK are parallel to each other and are opposite to each other. The sixth side surface AHDG and the seventh side surface CFIK are parallel to each other and are opposite to each other. The sixth side surface AHDG and the fourth side surface ACDF are perpendicular to each other. The fourth side surface ACDF and the first part 1311 are parallel to each other and contact each other.
[0081] In an optional embodiment, Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the shape of the first part and the second part of another first polarizing unit proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the first part 1311 includes a first side surface and a second curved surface, and the first side surface and the second part 1312 are parallel to and in contact with each other on the side away from the light-emitting layer; the second curved surface intersects with the opposite ends of the first side surface, and the second curved surface protrudes in a direction away from the second part 1312. At this time, the cross-sectional shape of the first part 1311 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is an arc. The second portion 1312 includes a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side and a seventh side, the fourth side and the fifth side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, the sixth side and the seventh side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, and the sixth side and the fourth side are perpendicular to each other; wherein, the fourth side or the sixth side is parallel to and in contact with the first portion, and at this time, the cross-sectional shape of the second portion 1312 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a rectangle, and the cross-sectional shape of the first polarizing unit 131 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a composite figure of an arc and a rectangle (such as the elliptical composite figure shown in Figure 5).
[0082] In an optional embodiment, Figure 6d shows a cross-section of an irregular composite figure of the first polarizing unit proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure along a plane perpendicular to the substrate and a schematic diagram of grating parameters. As shown in Figure 6d, the first portion 1311 includes a first side surface and multiple second side surfaces, and the first side surface and the second portion 1312 are parallel to and in contact with each other on the side away from the light-emitting layer; two adjacent side surfaces among the multiple second side surfaces intersect and are arranged relative to each other, and the positive projections of the multiple second side surfaces on the substrate are multiple straight lines, and any two straight lines may be parallel or non-parallel. At this time, the cross-sectional shape of the first portion 1311 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is an irregular polygonal broken line figure. The second portion 1312 includes a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side and a seventh side, the fourth side and the fifth side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, the sixth side and the seventh side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, and the sixth side and the fourth side are perpendicular to each other; wherein, the fourth side or the sixth side is parallel to and in contact with the first portion, and at this time, the cross-sectional shape of the second portion 1312 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a rectangle, and the cross-sectional shape of the first polarizing unit 131 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a composite figure of an irregular polygonal broken line figure and a rectangle.
[0083] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cross-sectional shape of the first portion 1311 perpendicular to the substrate 11 can be other regular or irregular composite shapes, as long as the shape of the first portion 1311 can transmit the first type of polarized light in the ambient light and absorb the second type of polarized light in the ambient light; and the shape of the second portion can reflect the second type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer and transmit the first type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer.
[0084] In an optional embodiment, the first grating can be any one of a single-layer metal wire grating, a single-layer dielectric wire grating, a double-layer metal wire grating, a double-layer dielectric wire grating, and a hybrid metal / dielectric grating. The first portion 1311 of the first polarizing unit 131 is made of a metal material, a dielectric material, or a visible light absorbing material; and the second portion 1312 is made of a metal material or a dielectric material. For example, the metal material can be silver, aluminum, or gold, and the dielectric material can be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, gallium nitride, or gallium phosphide. In addition, Figure 6e shows the cross-section of an elliptical composite figure along a plane perpendicular to the substrate and a schematic diagram of grating parameters when the first part of the first polarizing unit proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is a visible light absorbing material. As shown in Figure 6e, when the first part 1311 is a visible light absorbing material, the absorption of the second type of polarized light in the ambient light by the first part 1311 can be directly achieved through the characteristics of the visible light absorbing material. At this time, the shape of the cross-section of the first part 1311 along the plane perpendicular to the substrate can be the same as the first part 1311 of other materials, or it can be other conventional shapes (a rectangle as shown in Figure 6e), and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0085] For a grating, the optical polarization characteristics of the grating are influenced by setting different grating parameters. The grating parameters include at least one of the following: the number of polarizers, the grating period width (the width of the normal line between two adjacent polarizers in the grating along the polarizer arrangement direction), the width of each polarizer along the polarizer arrangement direction, and the width of each polarizer along a direction perpendicular to the polarizer arrangement direction. In the disclosed embodiment, to ensure the asymmetric optical polarization characteristics of the first grating, the grating parameters of the first grating need to be restricted. Specifically, Figure 6a shows a cross-section of the second part of the first polarizing unit along the perpendicular substrate plane and a schematic diagram of the grating parameters proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6b shows a cross-section of an elliptical composite figure of the first polarizing unit along the perpendicular substrate plane and a schematic diagram of the grating parameters proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6c shows a cross-section of a triangular composite figure of the first polarizing unit along the perpendicular substrate plane and a schematic diagram of the grating parameters proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 6a-6c, the grating period width P of the first grating is greater than or equal to 0.1 μm and less than or equal to 2 μm; the width of the first polarizing unit 131 along the first direction (that is, the line width of the first grating) a is greater than or equal to 0.01 μm and less than or equal to 1.8 μm; the width of the first polarizing unit 131 along the first direction perpendicular to the first direction (that is, the height H of each first polarizing unit, as shown in Figures 6b and 6c, the height H of the first polarization is the height H of the first part 1311 s and the height H of the second portion 1312 t The sum of the parameters (inclusive of the sum of the parameters) is greater than or equal to 0.01 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm. The first grating within the grating parameter range limited by the above-mentioned range can cause the second type of polarized light in the incident ambient light to repeatedly oscillate on the structural sidewalls of the first portion 1311 and thereby be absorbed, thereby suppressing the reflection of the ambient light in the first polarizing layer. At the same time, it can avoid high-order diffraction, effectively improving the light efficiency of the light emitted from the first polarizing layer 13.
[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first polarizing layer 131 further includes a first filling layer 132, which is arranged on the side of the first grating away from the light-emitting layer 12, and the first filling layer 132 fills the gaps between the multiple first polarizing units 131. The first filling layer 132 is used to ensure that the light entering the first polarizing layer 13 has a sufficient transmission distance. Furthermore, the refractive index of the first filling layer is greater than or equal to 1.42 and less than or equal to 1.48. On the other hand, due to the provision of the first filling layer 132, the aspect ratio of the first polarizing unit 131 can be reduced. The first polarizing unit 131 with a smaller aspect ratio can reduce the difficulty of preparing the first polarizing unit 131, while reducing the light scattering and absorption problems caused by the roughness of the sidewalls of the first polarizing unit 131, effectively improving the light efficiency of the light passing through the first grating. Preferably, the material of the first filling layer 132 can be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, etc.
[0087] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to make the light entering the light-emitting device be emitted from the light-emitting side of the first polarizing layer 13 in the form of the first type of polarized light, a second polarizing layer 14 is provided in the light-emitting device to achieve phase modulation of the light. The second polarizing layer 14 is configured to modulate the phase of the light to achieve mutual conversion between the second type of polarized light and the first type of polarized light, that is, when the second type of polarized light reaches the second polarizing layer 14, it will be reflected and converted into the first type of polarized light; when the first type of polarized light reaches the second polarizing layer 14, it will be reflected and converted into the second type of polarized light. The function of modulating the phase of the light of the second polarizing layer 14 is achieved by the polarizing sublayer 141 and the reflective sublayer 142 inside the second polarizing layer 14.
[0088] In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the polarizing layer 141 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting layer 12 facing away from the substrate 11, and the reflecting sublayer 142 is disposed on a side of the light-emitting layer 12 facing away from the substrate 11. The polarizing layer 141 includes a second grating, which includes a plurality of second polarizing units 1411. The plurality of second polarizing units 1411 are disposed near the light-emitting layer 12, with gaps between adjacent second polarizing units 1411. The plurality of second polarizing units 1411 are periodically arranged along a second direction to form the second grating. Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of the orientation of a first grating and a second grating proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 11, the second direction intersects with the first direction in which the first polarization unit 131 in the first grating is arranged, so that the orientations of the first polarization unit 131 and the second polarization unit 1411 are staggered at a certain angle, thereby enabling the light incident on the second grating to achieve a conversion of the polarization state, wherein the angle between the first direction and the second direction is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 60°. Preferably, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is 45°.
[0089] In addition, the polarizing layer 141 also includes a second filling layer 1412, which is disposed on a side of the second grating facing away from the light-emitting layer 12 and fills the gaps between the plurality of second polarizing units 1411. The second filling layer 1412 is used to ensure that light entering the second polarizing layer 14 has a sufficient transmission distance, that is, to determine the phase difference of the light during the polarization state conversion process in the second polarizing layer 14. Furthermore, the provision of the second filling layer 1412 allows a transparent medium of the second filling layer 1412 to exist between the second polarizing unit 1411 and the hierarchical structure facing away from the second polarizing unit 1411, thereby reducing the aspect ratio of the second polarizing unit 1411. A second polarizing unit 1411 with a smaller aspect ratio can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the second polarizing unit 1411 and reduce light scattering and absorption caused by the roughness of the sidewalls of the second polarizing unit, effectively improving the optical efficiency of the light reflected by the second grating. For example, when the second polarizer 1411 is fabricated by etching, the amount of etching required to form the second polarizer 1411 can be effectively reduced; when the second polarizer 1411 is fabricated by filling, the difficulty of filling the second polarizer 1411 can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the refractive index of the second filling layer 1412 is greater than or equal to 1.42 and less than or equal to 1.48. Preferably, the material of the second filling layer 1412 can be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, or the like.
[0090] Furthermore, the second polarizing unit 1411 is configured to reflect the first component of the first type of polarized light, the first component of the second type of polarized light, or at least one of the first component of the first type of polarized light and the first component of the second type of polarized light, and transmit the second component of the first type of polarized light, the second component of the second type of polarized light, or at least one of the second component of the first type of polarized light and the second component of the second type of polarized light. The reflective sublayer 142 is configured to reflect the first component and the second component of the first type of polarized light and / or the second type of polarized light. Figure 7a shows a schematic diagram of the components of the polarization state of an incident light incident along the right oblique direction proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 7b shows a schematic diagram of the components of the polarization state of a light reflected by the second polarizing layer proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7a, when the first type of polarized light and / or the second type of polarized light is incident on the second grating as the incident light, it is assumed that the polarization state of the incident light is incident along the right oblique direction, its first component is the TE mode in the positive x direction, and the second component is the TM mode in the positive y direction, the second polarizing unit 1411 in the second grating reflects the first component of the incident light and transmits the second component to reach the reflective sublayer 142. The second component reflected by the reflective sublayer 142 produces a phase difference of 180° with the first component reflected by the second polarizing unit 1411, resulting in a birefringence effect. At this time, the electric field is divided into the negative x direction and the positive y direction (as shown in Figure 7b), so that the vector sum of the first component and the second component reflected by the second polarizing layer 14 is orthogonal to the original electric field polarization state, realizing the conversion between orthogonal polarization states, which is manifested as the mutual conversion between the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light.
[0091] It should be noted that one of the first component and the second component is S-polarized light and the other is P-polarized light, that is, the first component is S-polarized light and the second component is P-polarized light, or the first component is P-polarized light and the second component is S-polarized light. The meaning of P-polarized light and S-polarized light is explained below. When light penetrates the surface of an optical element (such as a spectrometer) at a non-perpendicular angle, both the reflection and transmission characteristics depend on the polarization phenomenon. In this case, the coordinate system used is defined by the plane containing the input and reflected light beams. If the polarization vector of the light is in this plane, it is called P-polarized light; if the polarization vector is perpendicular to the plane, it is called S-polarized light.
[0092] In an optional embodiment, FIG10 shows a schematic diagram of the hierarchical structure of a light-emitting device proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the first polarizing layer and the second polarizing layer are arranged on the same side of the substrate. As shown in FIG10 , the polarizing layer 141 is arranged on the side of the light-emitting layer 12 close to the substrate 11, the polarizing layer 141 is arranged between the first polarizing layer 13 and the substrate 11, the second grating in the polarizing layer 141 is arranged close to the side of the light-emitting layer 12, and the second filling layer 1412 in the polarizing layer 141 is arranged away from the side of the light-emitting layer 12. In this case, the first polarizing layer 13 and the polarizing layer 141 can be prepared using a single-sided process without changing the polarization performance of the light-emitting device, thereby simplifying the preparation process.
[0093] Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of the light path transmission of a light-emitting device based on the first polarizing layer and the second polarizing layer. As shown in Figure 8, the horizontal double arrows represent the first type of polarized light, the vertical double arrows represent the second type of polarized light, the first layer of nanowire grid is the first polarizing layer 13 in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the second layer of nanowire grid is the second polarizing layer 14 described in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The light-emitting layer 12 generates self-luminescence including a first type of polarized light and a second type of polarized light. The self-luminescence reaches the side of the first polarizing unit 131 in the first polarizing layer 14 close to the light-emitting layer 12. The second portion 1312 of the first polarizing unit 131 close to the light-emitting layer 12 is configured to transmit the first type of polarized light and reflect the second type of polarized light. Therefore, the first type of polarized light in the self-luminescence passes through the first polarizing layer 13 and is emitted. The second type of polarized light is reflected by the second portion 1312 in the first polarizing unit 131 and reaches the second polarizing layer 14. The second polarizing unit 1411 in the second polarizing layer 14 reflects the first component of the second type of polarized light and transmits the second component of the second type of polarized light to the reflective sublayer 142. The reflective sublayer 142 reflects the second component of the second type of polarized light. The two form a phase difference and are combined into the first type of polarized light. That is, the second type of polarized light is reflected by the phase conversion of the second polarizing layer 14 as the first type of polarized light and is emitted from the first polarizing layer 13.
[0094] The self-luminescence generated by the light-emitting layer 12 propagates toward the second polarizing layer 14, where the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light undergo phase conversion, respectively, and the reflected light is still the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light (i.e., it is still self-luminescence including the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light). The self-luminescence reflected by the second polarizing layer 14 reaches the side of the first polarizing unit 131 in the first polarizing layer 14 close to the light-emitting layer 12. The second portion 1312 of the first polarizing unit 131 close to the light-emitting layer 12 is configured to transmit the first type of polarized light and reflect the second type of polarized light. Therefore, the first type of polarized light in the self-luminescence passes through the first polarizing layer 13 and is emitted. The second type of polarized light is reflected by the second portion 1312 of the first polarizing unit 131 and reaches the second polarizing layer 14. It is then phase converted by the second polarizing layer 14 and reflected as the first type of polarized light, which is emitted from the first polarizing layer 13.
[0095] Ambient light is incident from outside the light-emitting device onto a side of the first polarizing layer 13 away from the light-emitting layer 12. The ambient light includes a first type of polarized light and a second type of polarized light. The first portion 1311 of the first polarizing unit 131 away from the light-emitting layer 12 is configured to transmit the first type of polarized light and absorb the second type of polarized light. Therefore, when the second type of polarized light in the ambient light enters the first portion 1311 of the first polarizing unit 131, it is absorbed by the first portion 1311 after repeated oscillations. The first type of polarized light in the ambient light passes through the first polarizing layer 13 and enters the light-emitting device and reaches the second polarizing layer 14. The first type of polarized light is phase-converted and reflected by the second polarizing layer 14 into the second type of polarized light and reaches the second portion 1312 of the first polarizing unit 131. The light is then reflected by the second portion 1312 back to the second polarizing layer 14. The light is then phase-converted and reflected by the second polarizing layer 14 into the first type of polarized light and emitted from the first polarizing layer 13.
[0096] In an optional embodiment, the second grating can be any one of a single-layer metal wire grating, a single-layer dielectric wire grating, a double-layer metal wire grating, a double-layer dielectric wire grating, and a hybrid metal / dielectric grating. The material of the second polarizing unit 1411 is a metal material, a dielectric material, or a visible light absorbing material. For example, the metal material can be silver, aluminum, or gold, and the dielectric material can be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, gallium nitride, and gallium phosphide. Furthermore, the cross-section of the second polarizing unit 1411 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is rectangular.
[0097] In an optional embodiment, in order to ensure the optical polarization characteristics of the second grating, it is necessary to limit the grating parameters of the second grating. Specifically, the grating period width P of the second grating is greater than or equal to 0.1μm and less than or equal to 2μm; the width a of the second polarizing unit 1411 along the second direction (i.e., the line width of the first grating) is greater than or equal to 0.01μm and less than or equal to 1.8μm; the width of the second polarizing unit 1411 perpendicular to the second direction (i.e., the height of each second polarizing unit) is greater than or equal to 0.01μm and less than or equal to 10μm. The second grating within the grating parameters limited by the above range can reflect the first component of the first type of polarized light, the first component of the second type of polarized light, and at least one of the first component of the first type of polarized light and the first component of the second type of polarized light, and transmit the second component of the first type of polarized light, the second component of the second type of polarized light, and at least one of the second component of the first type of polarized light and the second component of the second type of polarized light.
[0098] In an optional embodiment, to further suppress reflection of ambient light, the light-emitting device further includes a filter layer, which is used to reduce two-thirds of the ambient light, thereby further reducing the ambient light reflectivity. Specifically, the filter layer is disposed between the first polarizing layer 13 and the light-emitting layer 12. The filter layer can be a first filter layer or a second filter layer, wherein the first filter layer is a single-layer color filter or a plasma resonance filter; the second filter layer includes two stacked reflective structures and a patterned layer disposed between the two reflective structures. Figure 9 shows a red light efficiency curve for a light-emitting device provided with a filter layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, for the light-emitting device provided with the filter layer, the self-luminous transmittance near 610nm red light is 68%, which is approximately 62% higher than the self-luminous transmittance of existing light-emitting devices (generally 42%). The ambient light reflectivity is 7%. Therefore, the light-emitting device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively improve the light efficiency of the display panel while maintaining a low ambient light reflectivity.
[0099] In an optional embodiment, in order to further enhance the optical polarization effect of the first grating and / or the second grating, the first polarizing unit and / or the second polarizing unit in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be replaced by a one-dimensional wire grating structure with a two-dimensional grating structure. Specifically, taking the first polarizing unit as an example, FIG19 shows a schematic structural diagram of the first polarizing unit proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG19 , each of the first polarizing units 131 includes a plurality of first polarizing units 131-1 spaced apart along the length direction of the first polarizing unit 131, that is, in the first grating, the first polarizing units 131-1 are arrayed to form a two-dimensional grating structure. Optionally, the first polarizing unit 131-1 is a columnar structure, and the orthographic projection of the first polarizing unit on the substrate 11 is a polygon or an arc. Exemplarily, the first polarizing unit 131-1 may be a rectangular prism (such as a quadrangular prism), a cylinder, an elliptical prism, etc.
[0100] In an optional embodiment, the light-emitting layer 12 includes: a buffer layer 121, the buffer layer 121 being disposed on a side close to the substrate 11; a first semiconductor layer 122, the first semiconductor layer 122 being disposed on a side of the buffer layer 121 facing away from the substrate 11; an active layer 123, the active layer 123 being disposed on a side of the first semiconductor layer 122 facing away from the substrate 11; and a second semiconductor layer 124, the second semiconductor layer 124 being disposed on a side of the active layer 123 facing away from the substrate 11, wherein one of the first semiconductor layer 122 and the second semiconductor layer 124 is an N-type semiconductor and the other is a P-type semiconductor. Preferably, the buffer layer 121 is a gallium nitride layer, the active layer 123 is an indium gallium nitride / gallium nitride quantum well layer, and one of the first semiconductor layer 121 and the second semiconductor layer 124 is an N-type gallium nitride layer and the other is a P-type gallium nitride layer.
[0101] In an optional embodiment, the light-emitting device further includes: an electrode layer 15, which is arranged between the second polarizing layer 14 and the light-emitting layer 12; a bonding substrate 16, which is arranged between the first polarizing layer 13 and the substrate 11; and a bonding adhesive layer 17, which is arranged between the bonding substrate 16 and the substrate 11.
[0102] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the solutions of the present disclosure, the light-emitting device described in the present disclosure will be described in detail through the following embodiments.
[0103] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a red light-emitting device, which has the same structure as the light-emitting device described above in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The cross-sectional shape of the first polarizing unit 131 of the red light-emitting device along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a composite figure of a triangle and a rectangle. Specifically, the first portion 1311 of the first polarizing unit 131 includes a first side surface and a plurality of second side surfaces, wherein the first side surface and the second portion 1312 are parallel to and in contact with each other on a side away from the light-emitting layer; adjacent two side surfaces of the plurality of second side surfaces intersect and are arranged opposite to each other, and the orthographic projections of the plurality of second side surfaces on the substrate are a plurality of straight lines. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the first portion 1311 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a triangle. The second portion 1312 of the first polarizing unit 131 includes a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side and a seventh side, the fourth side and the fifth side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, the sixth side and the seventh side are parallel to each other and opposite to each other, and the sixth side and the fourth side are perpendicular to each other; wherein the fourth side or the sixth side is parallel to and in contact with the first portion, and at this time, the cross-sectional shape of the second portion 1312 along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11 is a rectangle.
[0104] The first grating of the red light-emitting device is a single-layer metal grating. The first portion 1311 and the second portion 1312 of the first polarizing unit 131 are made of silver. The refractive index of the first filling layer 132 is 1.46. The grating period width P of the first grating is 0.4 μm. The width a of the first polarizing unit 131 along the first direction (i.e., the line width of the first grating) is 0.2 μm. The height H of the first portion 1311 is 0. s is 0.24 μm, and the height H of the second portion 1312 is t0.05μm. Figure 12a shows a graph showing the reflectivity and transmittance of different polarized lights of the second portion of the first polarizing unit in a red light-emitting device proposed in one embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 12b shows a graph showing the reflectivity and transmittance of different polarized lights of the first portion of the first polarizing unit in a red light-emitting device proposed in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 12a-12b, the first portion 1311 is close to the ambient light side (the side away from the light-emitting layer), which is the low-reflection side, corresponding to the graph showing the reflectivity and transmittance of different polarized lights incident on the low-reflection side shown in Figure 12b; the second portion 1312 is close to the light-emitting layer side, which is the high-reflection side, corresponding to the graph showing the reflectivity and transmittance of different polarized lights incident on the high-reflection side shown in Figure 12a. Among them, Ts_N is the transmittance of the first type of polarized light in self-luminescence, Rs_N is the reflectivity of the first type of polarized light in self-luminescence, Tp_N is the transmittance of the second type of polarized light in self-luminescence, Rp_N is the reflectivity of the second type of polarized light in self-luminescence, low-reflection side incidence, Ts_B is the transmittance of the first type of polarized light in ambient light, Rs_B is the reflectivity of the first type of polarized light in ambient light, Tp_B is the transmittance of the second type of polarized light in ambient light, Rp_B is the reflectivity of the second type of polarized light in ambient light. As can be seen from Figures 12a and 12b, in the first polarizing unit 131 of the red light-emitting device configured as described above, the reflectivity of the second type of polarized light in the ambient light in the first part 1311 thereof is significantly reduced near 610 nm in the red light wavelength range. Therefore, the first polarizing layer 13 of the red light-emitting device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure exhibits an asymmetric optical polarization characteristic in which the side away from the light-emitting layer can transmit the first type of polarized light in the ambient light and absorb the second type of polarized light in the ambient light; the side of the first polarizing layer close to the light-emitting layer can reflect the second type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer and transmit the first type of polarized light in the light emitted by the light-emitting layer.
[0105] In the red light-emitting device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second grating is a single-layer metal grating, the second polarizing element 1411 is made of silver, the refractive index of the second filling layer 1412 is 1.46, the material of the second filling layer 1412 is BCB glue, the thickness of the second filling layer 1412 is 0.115 nm, and the material of the reflective sublayer 142 is silver. The grating period width P of the second grating is 0.3 μm; the width a of the second polarizing element 1411 along the second direction (i.e., the line width of the second grating) is 0.095 μm; and the width of the second polarizing element 1411 perpendicular to the second direction is 0.115 μm. Figure 13 shows a polarization conversion efficiency curve of the second polarizing layer in a red light-emitting device proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 13, the second polarizing layer 14 of the red light-emitting device configured according to the above-mentioned content has a polarization conversion efficiency between the first type of polarized light and the second type of polarized light higher than 0.8 near 610nm in the red light wavelength range.

Specifically, the plurality of light-emitting devices include any one or more of red light-emitting devices, blue light-emitting devices, green light-emitting devices, and white light-emitting devices, wherein the red light-emitting device emits red light, the blue light-emitting device emits blue light, the green light-emitting device emits green light, and the white light-emitting device emits white light.

Existing solutions for reducing the reflectivity of ambient light using circular polarizers are generally narrow-band polarizers set for a single wavelength, which results in low broadband working efficiency. The embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the patterning of different polarizing layers corresponding to light-emitting devices of multiple colors based on semiconductor processing, so that light-emitting devices of different colors have adaptive grating parameters, ensuring that each light-emitting device of different colors has the lowest ambient light reflectivity and maximum light efficiency for each different color of light.

Taking the RGB three-color light-emitting device as an example, the central operating wavelength of red light, the central operating wavelength of green light, and the central operating wavelength of blue light are determined respectively. Subsequently, based on the central operating wavelength of red light, the central operating wavelength of green light, and the central operating wavelength of blue light, the grating parameters of the first grating and the second grating of the red light-emitting device, the green light-emitting device, and the blue light-emitting device are optimized. The order of optimizing the grating parameters of the first grating and the second grating of the red light-emitting device, the green light-emitting device, and the blue light-emitting device can be adjusted according to actual conditions. FIG15 is only an optional example. The optimized RGB three-color light-emitting device is then tested to test whether the ambient reflectivity and light efficiency of the light-emitting device of each color meet preset application indicators.

[0114] In an optional embodiment, the second filter layer is a dielectric color film filter, which is an inorganic dielectric filter, including two stacked reflective structures and a patterned layer arranged between the two reflective structures. Taking a display panel of RGB light-emitting devices as an example, in the RGB light-emitting devices, the materials of the reflective structures corresponding to the red light-emitting device, the green light-emitting device, and the blue light-emitting device are the same; the materials of the patterned layers corresponding to the red light-emitting device, the green light-emitting device, and the blue light-emitting device are not exactly the same.
[0115] Furthermore, FIG17 shows a schematic diagram of the second filter layer structure corresponding to the RGB light-emitting devices of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.
