Solution Overview

Problem

The existing bonding technology for silicon-based LED microdisplay devices requires high alignment accuracy, making the integration of driving circuits and light-emitting diodes complex and difficult, especially for high PPI microdisplays, due to the need for separate substrates and precise connection processes.

Innovation Solution

The solution involves forming the light-emitting diode and driving circuit on the same substrate, with the light-emitting diode having stacked semiconductor layers and a driving circuit connected to them, eliminating the need for bonding technology and simplifying the integration process by dividing the substrate into light-emitting and non-light-emitting regions.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If bonding technology is used to integrate driving circuits and light-emitting diodes on separate substrates, then device functionality is achieved, but manufacturing complexity and alignment difficulty increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice functionalityVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the driving circuit and light-emitting diode onto the same substrate, eliminating the need for separate substrates and bonding processes. The driving circuit is directly formed on the substrate in the non-light-emitting region, while the light-emitting diode is formed in the light-emitting region, achieving integration without bonding technology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The substrate is segmented into distinct light-emitting and non-light-emitting regions, with each region optimized for its specific function. This segmentation allows the driving circuit and light-emitting diode to coexist on the same substrate without interference, resolving the contradiction between integration and functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If bonding technology with precise alignment is used, then connection accuracy is improved, but manufacturing time and process difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidmanufacturing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the driving circuit and light-emitting diode on the same substrate, the patent eliminates the alignment and bonding steps entirely. The direct formation of both components on a single substrate removes the time-consuming precision alignment process while maintaining connection accuracy through direct electrical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate substrates are used for driving circuits and light-emitting diodes, then functional independence is achieved, but device structure and preparation process become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional independenceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is divided into functionally independent regions: a light-emitting region for the light-emitting diode and a non-light-emitting region for the driving circuit. This segmentation maintains functional independence while achieving structural integration, reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
