Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If integrated Micro LED pixels are integrated on a base without segmentation, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but optical crosstalk between adjacent pixels occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing complexityVSAvoidoptical crosstalk
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a black adhesive layer as an intermediary substance between adjacent Micro LED pixels. This layer acts as an optical barrier that blocks light from adjacent pixels, preventing optical crosstalk while maintaining the integrated structure on the base. The black adhesive layer is applied to the side of the integrated Micro LED chip away from the base layer, creating isolation between pixels without requiring segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If common N-type gallium nitride material is used for all pixels, then manufacturing process is simplified, but optical crosstalk inside the N-type material occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidoptical crosstalk inside N-type material
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by etching the common N-type gallium nitride material to create isolated regions for each pixel. Specifically, the N-type gallium nitride layers are etched and isolated between adjacent pixels, dividing the continuous material into discrete segments. This maintains the ease of using common N-type material for manufacturing while preventing optical crosstalk by physically separating the light paths through etching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If base layer is retained for support, then structural stability is maintained, but optical crosstalk on the base layer occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidoptical crosstalk on base layer
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the base layer after the Micro LED chips have been integrated and the black adhesive layer has been applied. The base layer is stripped away, leaving the integrated Micro LED chip structure suspended or supported by the bonding substrate. This extraction of the base layer eliminates the source of optical crosstalk on the base layer while the previously applied black adhesive layer continues to provide structural support and optical isolation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Adaptability or versatility

If QD color conversion module is stacked on GaN LED chip matrix, then color conversion is achieved, but optical crosstalk among QD and in gaps occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor conversion capabilityVSAvoidoptical crosstalk among QD and in gaps
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an insulating colloid as an intermediary material filled in the gaps between the Micro LED chip module and the driving substrate, and between adjacent pixels. This insulating colloid acts as an optical barrier that prevents light from leaking through the gaps, thereby eliminating optical crosstalk in the gap regions while maintaining the stacked QD color conversion module structure for color conversion functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present invention discloses a fabrication method for a crosstalk-proof structure of an integrated colored Micro LED. A side, away from a base layer, of an integrated Micro LED chip with a common N electrode is covered with a black adhesive layer, the black adhesive layer is etched, and electrodes of the Micro LED chip are exposed, so that optical crosstalk between gallium nitride Mesas can be avoided; and a base layer is stripped, and N-type gallium nitride layers of a first Micro LED chip module are isolated, so that the N-type gallium nitride layers can be isolated by the black adhesive layer to avoid optical crosstalk inside an N-type gallium nitride material of a common N-type chip and optical crosstalk of the base part. In such a way, the problem of optical crosstalk on an LED light emitting optical path can be avoided.
