Detailed implementation manners

[0036] The material of the film layer on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip is usually gallium nitride (GaN), and its refractive index is n1, where n1 is equal to 2.4, and the refractive index of air is n3, where n3 is equal to 1. The refractive index of this film layer differs greatly from that of air, resulting in a small critical angle of the light-emitting diode chip, usually about 22 degrees. Referring to FIG. 1, the light rays equal to or greater than this critical angle undergo total internal reflection, and the light extraction efficiency is low. At the same time, the light rays undergoing total internal reflection are reflected and refracted multiple times inside the light-emitting diode chip, and a large proportion will exit from the sidewall of the light-emitting diode chip, resulting in a large proportion of side light extraction of the light-emitting diode chip, reducing the light extraction efficiency and also causing uneven light extraction distribution.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 2, after the light-emitting diode chip is packaged, epoxy resin and other materials are usually used as the packaging layer 400, and the refractive index of the packaging layer 400 is n4, where n3 < n4 < n1, that is, the refractive index of the packaging layer 400 is less than the refractive index of the corresponding film layer of the light-emitting diode chip and greater than the refractive index of air. In this way, the critical angle of the packaged light-emitting diode chip can be increased, the light extraction efficiency can be improved, and the light extraction distribution will be more uniform. However, as shown in FIG. 2, using the packaging layer, the improvement of the light extraction efficiency and the uniformity of the light extraction distribution of the light-emitting diode chip is limited and the effect is not good.

[0038] The LED chip, display module, and lighting device provided in this application embodiment utilize an adjustment layer disposed on the chip body, allowing the adjustment layer to be directly formed on the chip body, resulting in a simple process and low cost. The adjustment layer is located on the light-emitting side of the LED chip, ensuring that light generated by the chip body passes through the adjustment layer and exits to the outside of the LED chip. The refractive index of the adjustment layer is greater than the refractive index of the film layer in contact with the adjustment layer in the chip body, making the adjustment layer an optically denser medium, while the corresponding film layer in the chip body is an optically less dense medium. When light emitted from the chip body enters the adjustment layer, it transitions from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser medium, resulting in an incident angle greater than the refraction angle. This maximizes the refraction efficiency of the light emitted from the chip body into the adjustment layer, improving the light extraction efficiency from the chip body to the adjustment layer. Furthermore, by processing the surface of the adjustment layer away from the chip body, light can be focused, further improving the light extraction efficiency of the adjustment layer and ultimately enhancing the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip.

[0039] Considering that less light is emitted when light enters from an optically denser medium through an optically less dense medium due to total internal reflection and other effects, only a small proportion of the light entering the adjustment layer from the chip body returns to the chip body. This reduces the number of reflections and refractions within the chip body, significantly reducing side emission, increasing normal emission, shaping the light, improving the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip, and enhancing the uniformity of the light distribution. Furthermore, by using the chip body and adjustment layer to adjust the phase and amplitude distribution of the light, precise control over the light angle and intensity can be achieved.

[0040] In the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some embodiments related to this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] This application provides a light-emitting diode (LED) chip that can be used in lighting, display, and other fields. The LED chip can be rectangular, square, circular, elliptical, triangular, rhomboid, parallelogram, or other polygonal shapes.

[0042] The size of a light-emitting diode (LED) chip can range from 0.001 to 200 micrometers, or even larger, depending on the application of the LED. The "size" mentioned above refers to the length of the LED chip in one direction. For example, it could be the length or width of a rectangular LED chip, the major or minor axis of an elliptical LED chip, or the diameter of a circular LED chip, etc.

[0043] The following provides illustrative examples of the size of LED chips in different application scenarios. When the LED chip is used in display products such as home televisions and desktop computers, the chip size can be greater than 100 micrometers. When the LED chip is used in display products such as laptops and tablets, the chip size can be greater than 60 micrometers. When the LED chip is used in display products such as mobile phones and smartwatches, the chip size can be greater than 50 micrometers.

[0044] Referring to Figures 3 to 21, the light-emitting diode (LED) chip includes a chip body 100 and an adjustment layer 200. The adjustment layer 200 is located on the light-emitting side of the LED chip, and the refractive index of the adjustment layer 200 is greater than the refractive index of the film layer 114 in the chip body 100 that is in contact with the adjustment layer 200. The chip body 100 may have multiple film layers, with at least some film layers stacked. The chip body 100 generates and emits light. The light can be white light or light of other colors. The chip body 100 can be electroluminescent (EL), or it can simultaneously possess both electroluminescence and photoluminescence (PL) light emission forms.

[0045] The architecture of the chip body 100 can be configured according to actual needs. The chip body 100 can be a normal structure, a flip structure, a vertical structure, a thin-film normal structure, a thin-film flip structure, a thin-film vertical structure, etc. Among them, the normal structure is shown in Figure 4, the flip structure is shown in Figure 5, and the vertical structure is shown in Figure 6. In this way, the chip body 100 can be fabricated using conventional processes and technologies, and the adjustment layer 200 can be formed directly on the chip body 100, resulting in lower cost and simpler processes.

[0046] An adjustment layer 200 is disposed on one side of the chip body 100, and the light emitted from the chip body 100 passes through the adjustment layer 200 and exits to the outside of the light-emitting diode chip. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the adjustment layer 200 is located above the chip body 100, and the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip is the upper side. The refractive index of the adjustment layer 200 is n2, the refractive index of the film layer 114 in the chip body 100 that is in contact with the adjustment layer 200 is n1, and the refractive index of air is n3, where n2>n1>n3. Thus, the refractive index of the adjustment layer 200 is relatively large, and the refractive index of the film layer 114 in the chip body 100 that is in contact with the adjustment layer 200 is relatively small. The adjustment layer 200 is an optically denser medium, and the film layer 114 in the chip body 100 that is in contact with the adjustment layer 200 is an optically less dense medium. When light emitted from the chip body 100 enters the adjustment layer 200, it moves from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser medium. This causes the incident angle of the emitted light to be greater than the refraction angle, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the light emitted from the chip body 100 into the adjustment layer 200. This improves the light extraction efficiency from the chip body 100 to the adjustment layer 200. Furthermore, by processing the surface of the adjustment layer 200 away from the chip body 100, the light can be focused, further improving the light extraction efficiency of the adjustment layer 200, and ultimately enhancing the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip.

[0047] Considering that less light is emitted when light enters a less optically denser medium from an optically less dense medium due to total internal reflection and other effects, only a small proportion of the light entering the adjustment layer 200 from the chip body 100 returns to the chip body 100. This reduces the number of reflections and refractions within the chip body 100, significantly reducing side emission, increasing normal emission, and improving the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip. Simultaneously, by using the chip body and adjustment layer to adjust the phase and amplitude distribution of light, precise control over the light angle and intensity is achieved.

[0048] When the light-emitting diode chip also includes an encapsulation layer covering the chip body 100 and the adjustment layer 200, the refractive index of the encapsulation layer is n4, where n2>n1>n4>n3. This increases the critical angle of the light-emitting diode chip, allowing the light emitted from the chip body 100 to be refracted into the air with maximum efficiency, thereby improving the light emission efficiency and making the emitted light distribution more uniform.

[0049] The adjustment layer 200 can be formed using epitaxial processes such as Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), physical film formation processes such as magnetron sputtering, chemical film formation processes such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), or other film formation processes. The adjustment layer 200 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. A single-layer structure allows for easier control of the adjustment layer 200's thickness, preventing the LED chip from becoming too thick, and also facilitates the fabrication of the adjustment layer 200. A multi-layer structure allows the refractive index of the multiple layers of the adjustment layer 200 to increase sequentially along the direction away from the chip body 100, and all layers are greater than the refractive index of the adjacent film layer 114 of the adjustment layer 200 in the chip body 100. This configuration allows light entering the adjustment layer 200 from the chip body 100 to exit with maximum efficiency, improving the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip.

[0050] Referring to Figures 3 to 7, an optical microstructure 201 is also formed on the surface of the adjustment layer 200 opposite to the film layer 114. The optical microstructure 201 is configured to improve the light extraction efficiency of the adjustment layer 200. By processing the surface of the adjustment layer 200 to form the optical microstructure 201, the light that is refracted and dispersed unevenly within the adjustment layer 200 is converged and uniformly emitted through the optical microstructure 201, refracting into the air with maximum efficiency, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0051] In some embodiments, the height of the optical microstructure 201 is 30%-80% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200, and the thickness of the adjustment layer 200 is 0.1-10 micrometers. This ensures that, on the one hand, the thinner adjustment layer 200 avoids an excessively large total thickness of the LED chip, which is beneficial for product miniaturization. On the other hand, the appropriate height of the optical microstructure 201 avoids compromising the integrity of the adjustment layer 200 and prevents the chip body 100 from being exposed, while also providing sufficient height to guarantee light extraction efficiency.

[0052] For example, the height of the optical microstructure 201 is 35%-45%, 50%-60%, or 65%-75% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200, such as 40%, 55%, or 70% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200. As another example, the thickness of the adjustment layer 200 can be 0.5-1 micrometer, 1.5-5 micrometers, or 6-8 micrometers, such as 1 micrometer, 4 micrometers, or 7 micrometers.

[0053] The height of the optical microstructure 201 is related to the thickness of the adjustment layer 200. When the thickness of the adjustment layer 200 is large, the height of the optical microstructure 201 can be large; when the thickness of the adjustment layer 200 is small, the height of the optical microstructure 201 can be small, which facilitates the fabrication of the optical microstructure 201 while ensuring the integrity of the adjustment layer 200. For example, when the thickness of the adjustment layer 200 is 6-8 micrometers, the height of the optical microstructure 201 can be 65%-75% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200; when the thickness of the adjustment layer 200 is 0.5-1 micrometer, the height of the optical microstructure 201 is 35%-45% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, the optical microstructure 201 may be located on a portion of the surface of the adjustment layer 200 facing away from the chip body 100, or on the entire surface of the adjustment layer 200 facing away from the chip body 100. By selectively performing partial surface treatment on the surface of the adjustment layer 200 facing away from the chip body 100, the formed optical microstructure 201 can be located only in the required area, thereby allowing for flexible adjustment of the position of the optical microstructure 201 to control the light emission range and light emission angle of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, in some possible implementations, referring to Figure 7, the optical microstructure 201 has a concave-convex structure, which is formed through a surface roughening process. In this way, the surface roughening process creates an irregular concave-convex structure on the surface of the adjustment layer 200 away from the chip body 100, reducing or disrupting total internal reflection at the interface between the adjustment layer 200 and the air, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the adjustment layer 200 and thus improving the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip. The roughening depth of the surface roughening process is 30%-80% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the surface roughening process can be achieved through physical or chemical methods. Physical methods include manual grinding, while chemical methods include wet etching, dry etching, or a combination of both. Wet etching can be solution etching, electrochemical etching, etc., while dry etching can be reactive ion etching (RIE), high-density plasma (HDP) etching, electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma etching, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching, etc. Different methods can be selected depending on the material used in the adjustment layer 200, and different etching solutions or etching gases can be selected depending on the material used in the adjustment layer 200.

[0057] For example, the adjustment layer 200 is made of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) material, and the optical microstructure 201 can be formed by a process of ICP etching, cleaning, potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution etching, and cleaning of the corresponding surface of the adjustment layer 200. As another example, the adjustment layer 200 is made of indium tin oxide (ITO), and the optical microstructure 201 can be formed by a process of coating with photoresist, photomask lithography, and immersion in 98% concentrated sulfuric acid on the corresponding surface of the adjustment layer 200, wherein the immersion in 98% concentrated sulfuric acid is performed at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes.

[0058] Based on the above embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6, in some possible implementations, the optical microstructure 201 is a photonic crystal 202, which is formed using electron beam lithography, nanoimprint lithography, or holographic exposure. Thus, by forming a regular photonic crystal 202 on the surface of the adjustment layer 200 away from the chip body 100, light can be shaped, facilitating control of the light emission distribution and improving the light emission efficiency of the adjustment layer 200, thereby increasing the light emission efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0059] In some embodiments, the height (i.e., depth) of the photonic crystal 202 is 30%-80% of the thickness of the adjustment layer 200. The photonic crystals 202 are arranged periodically, with a period of 1-5 micrometers, which is adapted to the dimension of the photonic crystals 202. The height direction of the photonic crystals 202 is aligned with the thickness direction of the adjustment layer 200.

[0060] In some possible examples, referring to Figures 8 to 11, in any three adjacent rows of photonic crystals 202, the photonic crystals 202 in adjacent rows are staggered, and the photonic crystals 202 in every other row are arranged opposite each other. Referring to Figures 12 to 15, the end face of the photonic crystal 202 facing away from the film layer 114 is also provided with a through hole 203. By providing the through hole 203, the light transmittance of the photonic crystal 202 can be improved. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 203 can be circular, elliptical, triangular, polygonal, etc.

[0061] The photonic crystal 202 can be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional photonic crystal. The surface shape of a two-dimensional photonic crystal can be circular, elliptical, triangular, square, rhomboid, parallelogram, rectangular, or polygonal. The shape of a three-dimensional photonic crystal can be a triangular prism, cube, face-centered cube, hexagonal close-packed structure, or cylinder. As shown in Figure 8, the surface shape of the two-dimensional photonic crystal is square; as shown in Figure 9, the surface shape of the two-dimensional photonic crystal is circular; as shown in Figure 10, the surface shape of the two-dimensional photonic crystal is regular hexagonal; and as shown in Figure 11, the surface shape of the two-dimensional photonic crystal is triangular.

[0062] For example, the photonic crystal 202 has a period of 2 micrometers, a depth of 0.1 micrometers, and a cubic shape. It is formed using nanoimprint lithography, and its process includes template preparation and photonic crystal 202 pattern transfer. The template preparation process involves: fabricating a silicon template, pressing polymer material onto the silicon template, demolding, and obtaining a polymer soft template. The photonic crystal 202 pattern transfer process involves: cleaning the chip body with deionized water (100°C), drying, spin-coating with 150 nm UV imprinting adhesive, pre-baking for 3 minutes, UV soft imprinting, demolding and adhesive removal, dry etching, and adhesive removal. During UV soft imprinting, the polymer soft template is covered on the UV imprinting adhesive, exposed to UV light for 15 minutes, and then exposed to UV light for 10 seconds at a pressure of 35 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Pascal.

[0063] In some embodiments, the soft template may be made of intermediate polymer stamp (IPS) material or polydimethylsiloxane material.

[0064] In this embodiment, the adjustment layer 200 covers at least a portion of the surface of the film layer, and the optical microstructure 201 is disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the adjustment layer 200 facing away from the chip body. By adjusting the size of the adjustment layer 200 and the position of the optical microstructure 201, the light emission range of the light-emitting side of the LED chip is adjusted, thereby controlling the light emission angle of the LED chip. The adjustment layer 200 can be made of a transparent, high-refractive-index material to improve its light transmittance. In some embodiments, the adjustment layer 200 can also be made of conductive material; for example, the adjustment layer 200 can be made of ITO. Thus, in the example where the adjustment layer 200 covers only a portion of the surface of the film layer, the adjustment layer 200 can also reduce the edge effect of the LED chip.

[0065] For example, referring to Figure 3, the adjustment layer 200 can cover the entire surface of the corresponding side of the chip body 100, and the optical microstructure 201 is disposed on the entire surface of the corresponding side of the adjustment layer 200, so that the light-emitting side of the light-emitting diode chip emits light from the entire surface, and the light inside the light-emitting diode chip is concentrated and emitted uniformly, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the diode chip.

[0066] In some embodiments, the light-emitting diode chip may further include a first reflective layer 500. By providing the first reflective layer 500, light is controlled to be emitted uniformly only from a designated area (e.g., the middle area) of the light-emitting diode chip. The first reflective layer 500 is disposed in the same layer as the adjustment layer 200, or the first reflective layer 500 is disposed on the side of the adjustment layer 200 away from the chip body and exposes the optical microstructure 201, so that light is emitted from the area not covered by the first reflective layer 500.

[0067] As a possible example, referring to FIG16, the film layer 114 in the chip body 100 that is in contact with the adjustment layer 200 includes a central region 1140 and an edge region 1141 surrounding the central region 1140. A first reflective layer 500 is located on the edge region 1141 of the film layer 114, and the adjustment layer 200 is located on the central region 1140 of the film layer 114.

[0068] In some embodiments, the edge region of the corresponding film layer 114 in the chip body 100 can completely surround the central region of the film layer 114, that is, the edge region of the film layer 114 surrounds the central region of the film layer 114 for a full circumference. The first reflective layer 500 is disposed on the edge region of the film layer 114, and the adjustment layer 200 is disposed on the central region of the film layer 114, so that the first reflective layer 500 is disposed around the adjustment layer 200, reducing the coverage area of ​​the adjustment layer 200 on the chip body 100. The first reflective layer 500 reflects light back to the chip body, and then, through refraction and reflection in the chip body, the light is uniformly emitted from the central region of the light-emitting diode chip. In this example, the coverage area of ​​the optical microstructure 201 is not limited; for example, the optical microstructure 201 can be disposed on the entire surface of the adjustment layer 200.

[0069] As another possible example, referring to Figure 17, the adjustment layer 200 includes a central region 2000 and an edge region 2001 surrounding the central region 2000. An optical microstructure 201 is located in the central region 2000 of the adjustment layer 200, and a first reflective layer 500 is located on the edge region 2001 of the adjustment layer 200.
