The existing color light engines have limited field of view and their structures need further improvement.

[0031] As described in the background art, the increase in the field of view angle of existing color light engines is limited, and their structure needs to be further improved.
[0032] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a color light engine.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 1 , the color light engine includes a light-emitting element 101, a color-combining prism 102, and an optical lens 103. The light-emitting element 101 includes three panels that emit red, blue, and green light, respectively. The optical lens 103 includes a lens assembly (not shown). The light emitted by the light-emitting element 101 passes through the color-combining prism 102 and the lens assembly in the optical lens 103 to form a color image.
[0034] In the aforementioned color light engine, the optical lens 103 is used for imaging. To increase the field of view, the "back focal length" of the optical lens 103 needs to be reduced. In the aforementioned color light engine, the "back focal length" is determined by the distance between the lens closest to the light-emitting element 101 in the lens 103 and the light-emitting element 101. In the prior art, the field of view of the color light engine is increased by reducing the size of the color combining prism located between the lens closest to the light-emitting element 101 and the light-emitting element 101. However, reducing the size of the color combining prism 102 causes interference between the three light-emitting elements 101 mounted on the color combining prism during assembly, preventing assembly of the color light engine.
[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a Micro-LED display panel, a color light engine and an electronic device, in which an imaging cover plate is located on the light-emitting surface of the Micro-LED display chip, and is used to converge or diverge the light emitted by the Micro-LED display chip. When the Micro-LED display panel in the technical solution of the present invention is used in a color light engine, compared with the existing color light engine, since the light emitted by the Micro-LED display panel has been converged or diverged before entering the color combining device, the "back focal length" of the optical system of the color light engine can be reduced. Therefore, while increasing the field of view of the color light engine, the size of the color combining device can be maintained, thereby avoiding the mutual interference problem between the light-emitting elements generated when assembling the color light engine.

When the Micro-LED display panel described in the technical solution of the present invention is used in a color light engine, compared with existing color light engines, because the light emitted by the Micro-LED display panel is converged or diverged before entering the color combining device, the "back focal length" of the color light engine's optical system can be reduced, resulting in a color light engine with a larger field of view.

A thicker optical adhesive layer makes it more difficult for the Micro-LED display chip to dissipate heat, which can affect the performance of the Micro-LED display chip. Furthermore, a thicker optical adhesive layer can affect the light transmittance of the Micro-LED display chip, thereby affecting the brightness of the light. Selecting an optical adhesive layer within the above thickness range can not only secure the imaging cover plate, but also ensure heat dissipation and light transmittance of the Micro-LED display chip.
[0112] In this embodiment, the material of the optical adhesive layer 803 includes transparent optical adhesive, and the transparent optical adhesive includes acrylate, epoxy resin or polyester.
[0113] Selecting transparent optical adhesive for fixation can reduce the impact on the brightness of the light emitted by the chip structure 801.
[0114] In another embodiment, the imaging cover plate and the chip structure are bonded to each other via a bonding layer.
[0115] Correspondingly, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a color light engine. Please refer to the previous embodiment for a detailed description, which will not be repeated here.
[0116] FIG9 is a schematic structural diagram of a Micro-LED display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0117] The main differences between this embodiment and the previous embodiment are:
[0118] The edge surface of the imaging cover plate is connected to the surface of the chip structure. Please refer to FIG9 for details.
[0119] Please refer to Figure 9. The Micro-LED display panel includes: a chip structure 901, wherein the chip structure 801 includes a Micro-LED display chip, and the chip structure 901 has a light-emitting surface 901a; an imaging cover plate 902 located on the light-emitting surface 901a of the chip structure 901, and the imaging cover plate 902 is used to converge or diverge the light emitted by the chip structure 901.
[0120] In this embodiment, the imaging cover plate 902 and the chip structure 901 are bonded to each other via a bonding layer; the thickness of the bonding layer 903 ranges from 0.5 μm to 3 μm; and the material of the bonding layer 903 includes silicon oxide.
[0121] The reason for selecting the thickness range of the bonding layer 903 is that the thickness of the bonding layer 903 will affect the heat dissipation of the Micro-LED display chip. The thicker the bonding layer 903 is, the less likely the Micro-LED display chip is to dissipate heat, which affects the performance of the Micro-LED display chip. Conversely, if the bonding layer 903 is thinner, the reliability of the bonding will be affected.
[0122] In another embodiment, the imaging cover plate and the chip structure are connected by bonding.

[0153] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a color light engine, the main difference from the above-mentioned color light engine is whether an imaging cover can be added to the Micro-LED display panel obtained by the prior art to obtain the color light engine in the technical solution of the present invention.
[0154] The details will be explained below.
[0155] FIG14 is a schematic structural diagram of a color light engine according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0156] Please refer to Figure 14. The color light engine includes: a light-emitting component, which includes at least two light-emitting elements 211. Each of the light-emitting elements 211 includes a Micro-LED display chip (not shown in the figure) and a light-transmitting packaging cover plate (not shown in the figure) packaged on the light-emitting surface of the Micro-LED display chip. The light emitted by different light-emitting elements 211 has different colors; a color combining device 212, which has an exit surface (not shown in the figure) and at least two incident surfaces (not shown in the figure). Each incident surface is opposite to each light-emitting element 211, so that the light emitted by each light-emitting element 211 enters the color combining device 212. 2 is used to combine light and emit light from the exit surface; an optical imaging device, the optical imaging device including a first imaging component and a second imaging component 213, the first imaging component being located between the light-emitting component and the color combining device 212, the first imaging component including an imaging cover plate 214 located between at least one of the light-emitting elements 211 and the color combining device 212, the imaging cover plate 214 being used to converge or diverge the light emitted by the corresponding light-emitting element 211, the second imaging component 213 being opposite to the exit surface of the color combining device 212, and being used to, after acquiring the light emitted from the exit surface of the color combining device 212, emit the light through the second imaging component 213 and form an image.
[0157] At this point, the imaging cover plate 214 is used to converge or diverge the light emitted by the corresponding light-emitting element 211, which can reduce the "back focal length" of the optical system of the color light engine. Therefore, while increasing the field of view of the color light engine, the size of the color combining device 212 can be maintained, thereby avoiding the problem of mutual interference between the light-emitting elements generated when assembling the color light engine.
[0158] It should be noted that conventional Micro-LED display panels typically include a Micro-LED display chip and a light-transmitting encapsulation cover plate encapsulated on the light-emitting surface of the Micro-LED display chip. Therefore, an imaging cover plate can be added to the conventional Micro-LED display panel to obtain the color light engine of the present invention.
[0159] In this embodiment, the viewing angle of the color light engine can be increased to 80°.
[0160] The Micro-LED display chip includes a light-emitting area (not shown in the figure) and a non-light-emitting area (not shown in the figure).
[0161] In this embodiment, the imaging cover plate 214 is located on the surface of the light-transmitting encapsulation cover plate in both the luminous and non-luminous areas. That is, the imaging cover plate 214 covers the entire Micro-LED display chip. In another embodiment, the imaging cover plate is located only on the surface of the light-transmitting encapsulation cover plate in the luminous area.
[0162] In this embodiment, the light-emitting assembly includes three light-emitting elements 211, each of which is configured to generate monochromatic light, and the monochromatic light emitted by different light-emitting elements 211 has different colors. Specifically, one of the light-emitting elements 211 is configured to generate green light, another light-emitting element 211 is configured to generate blue light, and yet another light-emitting element 211 is configured to generate red light.
[0163] In another embodiment, the light-emitting component includes two light-emitting elements, one of which is used to generate two-color light, and the other is used to generate a first monochromatic light, the two-color light includes two second monochromatic lights of different colors, and the first monochromatic light is different from the second monochromatic light in color.
[0164] In this embodiment, the color combining device 212 includes a color combining prism.
[0165] Specifically, the color combining prism includes four right-angle prisms, the right-angled surfaces of the four right-angle prisms are aligned and bonded to each other, and the oblique surfaces of the four right-angle prisms constitute the four surfaces of the color combining prism, including the incident surface and the exit surface.
[0166] More specifically, in this embodiment, the four surfaces of the color combining prism include three incident surfaces and one exit surface.
[0167] In another embodiment, the four surfaces may include two incident surfaces and one exit surface.

The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. The color combining device 212 can adjust the light emitted by two of the light-emitting elements 211 so that it enters the second imaging assembly 213 together with the light emitted by the remaining light-emitting element 211.
[0170] In another embodiment, preferably, the light-emitting element for generating the first monochromatic light is located on one side of the color combining device in the first direction, and the light-emitting element for generating the two-color light and the second imaging component are located on both sides of the color combining device in the second direction, respectively, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. When the light-emitting element for generating the first monochromatic light and the second imaging component are respectively placed on both sides of the color combining device in the second direction, and the light-emitting element for generating the two-color light is placed on one side of the color combining device in the first direction, or when the light-emitting element generating the first monochromatic light and the light-emitting element generating the two-color light are placed on both sides of the color combining device in the first direction, the color combining device needs to be adjusted accordingly to change the propagation direction of the light emitted by the light-emitting element generating the two-color light, so that the three-color light generated by the two light-emitting elements all enter the second imaging component.
[0171] In this embodiment, the first imaging assembly includes an imaging cover plate 214 located between one of the light-emitting elements 211 and the color combining device 212. In a practical application scenario, for example, to improve the imaging capability of red light, the imaging cover plate can be disposed between the light-emitting element generating red light and the color combining device.
[0172] In other embodiments, the first imaging assembly may include two or more imaging cover plates. For example, when the light-emitting assembly includes three light-emitting elements, an imaging cover plate may be provided between each light-emitting element and the color combining device, or between two of the light-emitting elements and the color combining device. Furthermore, the imaging cover plates between different light-emitting elements and the color combining device may be the same or different.
[0173] More optimally, an imaging cover plate is provided between each of the light-emitting elements and the color combining device, and the imaging cover plates between each of the light-emitting elements and the color combining device are the same.
[0174] In this embodiment, the imaging cover plate 214 is a positive lens. In other embodiments, the imaging cover plate may also be a negative lens.
[0175] It should be noted that the first imaging component and the second imaging component 213 cooperate with each other to form an image.
[0176] In this embodiment, the size of the second imaging component 213 along its optical axis ranges from 2 mm to 10 mm.
[0177] The positive lens includes a plano-convex lens, a biconvex lens, a meniscus lens, a concave-convex positive lens or a cemented positive lens; the cemented positive lens includes a lens formed by cementing at least two of the plano-convex lens, the biconvex lens, the meniscus lens and the concave-convex positive lens.

[0180] In this embodiment, the size of the light emitting element 211 ranges from 0.05 inches to 0.5 inches.
[0181] In this embodiment, the size of the imaging cover plate 214 in a direction perpendicular to its optical axis ranges from 1 mm to 20 mm.
