Solution Overview

Problem

Large area passive micro light-emitting diode (LED) displays face challenges in achieving high image quality and resolution due to limitations in substrate utilization and LED chip operation, leading to increased production costs and unsatisfactory image resolution.

Innovation Solution

A large area passive micro light-emitting diode matrix display is designed with a substrate and external circuit component, where micro light-emitting diode matrices are mounted on a double-sided polished sapphire substrate, and an external circuit component is used to electrically bond the matrices, allowing for effective LED chip formation and operation without compromising the substrate area for circuit formation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a large area passive micro-LED display is fabricated using conventional methods, then the display area is increased, but the image quality and image resolution deteriorate due to substrate area loss for external circuits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidimage resolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The external circuit component is extracted from the substrate and placed on a separate carrier substrate. This separation allows the entire substrate area to be used for forming LED chips, eliminating the trade-off between display area and image resolution. The external circuits are mounted on the carrier and electrically connected to the LED chips through wire bonding or other connection methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Quantity of substance

If more LED chips are arranged on the substrate, then the pixel number is increased, but the substrate area available for external circuits is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The external circuit component is extracted from the substrate and integrated into a separate carrier. This allows maximum utilization of the substrate area for LED chip arrangement, thereby increasing the pixel number without compromising the space needed for external circuit connections.

Inventive Principle:
