[0049] This invention proposes a method for fabricating a micro-light-emitting diode display panel to solve the problems of low yield and difficulty in mass production of existing Micro-LED monolithic full-color displays.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method for fabricating the micro-light-emitting diode display panel includes:
[0051] Step S10: Provide a substrate 2 and form an array of pixel units on the substrate 2. Each pixel unit includes at least three micro-light-emitting diode structures 3. In the direction away from the substrate 2, each micro-light-emitting diode structure 3 includes a stress buffer layer 31, a light-emitting stack structure 32, and an electrode layer 33 arranged sequentially, as shown in Figure 2. The stress buffer layer 31 is a nanoporous structure.
[0052] Step S20: Provide a driving backplane 1, which carries a plurality of driving circuits 11 corresponding one-to-one with the micro light-emitting diode structure 3, see Figure 3;
[0053] Step S30: Bond the electrode layer 33 of the substrate 2 to the driving backplate 1 so that the electrode layer 33 of each micro-light-emitting diode structure 3 is connected to the driving circuit 11 corresponding to the micro-light-emitting diode structure 3, see Figure 3.
[0054] Step S40: At least the substrate 2 is removed to expose the stress buffer layer 31, see Figures 4 and 5;
[0055] Step S50: Embed the color-converting quantum dot material into the stress buffer layer 31 of the partial micro-LED structure 3.
[0056] The technical solution of this invention involves forming multiple micro-light-emitting diode (LED) structures on a substrate. Each LED structure includes a stress buffer layer, a light-emitting stack structure, and an electrode layer arranged sequentially. The stress buffer layer has a nanoporous structure. Using a stress buffer layer with a nanoporous structure as a component of the LED structure allows the stress buffer layer to release the stress during the epitaxial layer growth process, improving the quality of the epitaxial layer and resulting in better light-emitting quality of the light-emitting stack structure. A single bonding process connects the electrode layer of the LED structure on the substrate to the corresponding circuit on the driving backplane, ensuring the light-emitting performance of the LED structure. After the electrode layer of the LED structure is connected to the corresponding circuit on the driving backplane, at least the substrate is removed to expose the stress buffer layer. The stress buffer layer with a nanoporous structure serves as a carrier layer for color-conversion quantum dots. Color-conversion quantum dot materials are embedded in part of the stress buffer layer, achieving self-alignment between the color-conversion quantum dot materials and the corresponding light-emitting stack structure of the LED structure. The resulting LED display panel has a high yield, a pixel density >5000ppi, and a simple fabrication method, facilitating large-scale mass production. Each micro-LED structure's electrode layer is connected to a corresponding driving circuit. Driven by the driving circuit, the corresponding light-emitting stack structure emits light, causing the corresponding color-conversion quantum dot material to produce the desired color, thus achieving a single-chip full-color display. After the substrate's electrode layer is bonded to the driving backplane, at least the substrate is removed to expose a stress buffer layer. The color-conversion quantum dots are then embedded into the stress buffer layer, ensuring that the color-conversion quantum dot material corresponds to the light-emitting stack structure, eliminating optical crosstalk and improving luminous stability.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, step S10 includes:
[0058] Step S11: Provide substrate 2;
[0059] Step S12: A gallium nitride buffer layer 21, a gallium nitride intrinsic layer 22, and a gallium nitride doped layer are sequentially stacked on the substrate 2, wherein the gallium nitride doped layer is doped with metal impurities.
[0060] Step S13: Electrochemically etch the gallium nitride doped layer to remove metal impurities and form a stress buffer layer 31 with a nanoporous structure.
[0061] Step S14: Sequentially deposit an n-type gallium nitride layer 321, a multi-quantum well layer 322, a p-type gallium nitride layer 323, and an electrode layer 33 on the stress buffer layer 31;
[0062] Step S15: Using photolithography, the electrode layer 33, p-type gallium nitride layer 323, multiple quantum well layer 322, n-type gallium nitride layer 321, stress buffer layer 31, and gallium nitride intrinsic layer 22 are etched to form multiple micro light-emitting diode structures 3. In each micro light-emitting diode structure 3, the p-type gallium nitride layer 323, multiple quantum well layer 322, and n-type gallium nitride layer 321 form a light-emitting stacked structure 32.
[0063] Step S40 includes:
[0064] The substrate 2, gallium nitride buffer layer 21, and gallium nitride intrinsic layer 22 are removed sequentially to expose the stress buffer layer 31.
[0065] The technical solution of this invention involves sequentially forming a gallium nitride (GaN) buffer layer, a GaN intrinsic layer, and a GaN layer on a substrate. The GaN layer is then electrochemically etched to form a stress buffer layer with a nanoporous structure. An n-type GaN layer, a multi-quantum-well layer, a p-type GaN layer, and an electrode layer are sequentially deposited on the stress buffer layer. Photolithography is then used to etch the electrode layer, p-type GaN layer, multi-quantum-well layer, n-type GaN layer, stress buffer layer, and GaN intrinsic layer to form multiple micro-light-emitting diode (LED) structures. These micro-LED structures are isolated from each other by silicon dioxide insulating pillars 4. The light-emitting stack structure formed by the p-type GaN layer, multi-quantum-well layer, and n-type GaN layer emits blue light, which can excite corresponding color-converting quantum dot materials to emit light. When electrochemically etching the gallium nitride (GaN) layer, potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution can be used as the etching solution. The etching voltage is 15–20 V, and the etching time is 40–50 s. The resulting stress buffer layer has nanopores with a thickness of 0.1–1 μm. After the electrode layer of the substrate is bonded to the driving backplate, the substrate is removed. The GaN buffer layer is removed using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. The intrinsic GaN layer is then removed using a wet or dry etching process to expose the stress buffer layer, facilitating the embedding of color-conversion quantum dot materials.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S30, a flip-chip process is used to bond the electrode layer 33 of the substrate 2 to the driving backplate 1. Using a flip-chip process to bond the electrode layer 33 of the substrate 2 to the driving backplate 1 can improve production efficiency.
[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S30, a wafer-to-wafer bonding process is used to bond the substrate 2 to the driving backplane 1. The advantages of the wafer-to-wafer bonding process are its high alignment accuracy, high throughput, and high bonding yield, making it suitable for mass production.
[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S10, in each pixel unit, the light-emitting stacking structure 32 of the three micro light-emitting diode structures 3 are all blue light-emitting stacking structures, and the three micro light-emitting diode structures 3 include a first type of diode structure, a second type of diode structure and a third type of diode structure.
[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, step S50 includes:
[0070] Red quantum dot material 311 is embedded in the stress buffer layer 31 of the second type of diode structure, and green quantum dot material 312 is embedded in the stress buffer layer 31 of the third type of diode structure, as shown in Figure 5.
[0071] The technical solution of this invention uses three micro-light-emitting diode (LED) structures to form a pixel unit. In each pixel unit, the light-emitting stacking structure of the three LED structures is a blue light stacking structure. The blue light emitted by the blue light stacking structure (emitting light at a wavelength of 450-495nm) serves as a light source, which can excite the corresponding color-converting quantum dot material to emit light, thereby producing the desired color. Each pixel unit includes a first type of diode structure, a second type of diode structure, and a third type of diode structure. The stress buffer layer of the second type of diode structure is embedded with red quantum dot material, which emits light at a wavelength of 620-750nm. Under blue light excitation, the red quantum dot material can emit red light. The stress buffer layer of the third type of diode structure is embedded with green quantum dot material, which emits light at a wavelength of 495-570nm. Under blue light excitation, the green quantum dot material can emit green light. The first type of diode structure does not contain quantum dot material, so it outputs blue light. Each pixel unit includes three basic colors: red (R), green (G), and blue (B). A color array is generated by the RGB color model, which can realize single-chip full-color display.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, after step S50, the method further includes: step S60, forming an encapsulation layer 5 covering the stress buffer layer 31, as shown in FIG6. The stress buffer layer is encapsulated in a thin film to form a thin film encapsulation layer covering the stress buffer layer, effectively blocking the micro-LED structure from external moisture, preventing moisture and harmful substances from entering the micro-LED structure, improving the luminous stability of the quantum dots, and extending the lifespan of the micro-LED display panel.
[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S50, the color-converting quantum dot material is embedded in the stress buffer layer 31 of a portion of the micro-light-emitting diode structure 3 by photolithography or printing. Photolithography or inkjet printing is used to allow the stress buffer layer to contact the solution containing the quantum dots, thereby impregnating the quantum dots into the pores of the stress buffer layer; the quantum dots can be CdSe (cadmium selenide) colloidal quantum dots with a cross-sectional size of 1–10 nm.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, substrate 2 is a silicon-based substrate. The silicon substrate is characterized by low cost, large area, high quality, and good electrical and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the silicon substrate allows for non-destructive peeling, eliminating stress between the substrate and the gallium nitride material layer.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, the driving backplane 1 includes a silicon substrate on which a plurality of driving circuits 11 are disposed. The number of driving circuits disposed on the silicon substrate is adapted to the number of micro light-emitting diode structures, so as to achieve independent control of each micro light-emitting diode structure, and the plurality of driving circuits are isolated from each other by a silicon dioxide insulating layer 12.
[0076] The present invention also proposes a micro-light-emitting diode display panel, comprising:
[0077] A drive backplane 1 is provided with a plurality of drive circuits 11.

The multiple micro light-emitting diode structures 3 are arranged one-to-one with multiple driving circuits 11. In the direction away from the driving backplate 1, each micro light-emitting diode structure 3 includes an electrode layer 33, a light-emitting stack structure 32, and a stress buffer layer 31 that are electrically connected to the corresponding driving circuit 11.
[0079] Among them, the stress buffer layer 31 has a nanoporous structure, and some of the stress buffer layers 31 of the micro-light-emitting diode structure 3 are provided with color conversion quantum dot materials.
[0080] In the embodiments of the present invention, in each pixel unit, the light-emitting stacking structure 32 of the three micro light-emitting diode structures 3 are all blue light-emitting stacking structures, and the three micro light-emitting diode structures 3 include a first type of diode structure, a second type of diode structure and a third type of diode structure.
[0081] Among them, the stress buffer layer 31 of the second type of diode structure contains red quantum dot material, and the stress buffer layer 31 of the third type of diode structure contains green quantum dot material.
[0082] The present invention also proposes a display device including the aforementioned micro-light-emitting diode display panel. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the display device may be AR glasses, and the display device includes a micro-light-emitting diode display panel, a collimating lens disposed on the encapsulation layer of the micro-light-emitting diode display panel, and an optical waveguide disposed on the collimating lens.
[0083] In the technical solution of the present invention, the collimating lens can collimate the light emitted from the micro-LED display panel, and the optical waveguide can efficiently transmit the collimated image to the user's eyes.
