Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple micro LEDs of different colors (red, green, blue) into a single series connection structure. By merging these different-color micro LEDs into one series circuit, the driving substrate can apply a unified driving voltage to the entire structure, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining the ability to emit multiple colors through selective activation of different series connection structures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The driving substrate is designed to provide a universal driving voltage that can drive series connection structures containing multiple different-color micro LEDs. This multi-functional approach allows the same voltage source to control various color emissions, eliminating the need for separate voltage sources for each color and thus reducing overall power consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple different-color micro LEDs into series connection structures, which simplifies the driving substrate by reducing the number of separate voltage sources needed. Instead of managing multiple independent voltage outputs for red, green, and blue LEDs, the substrate only needs to provide a unified driving voltage to the series structures, thereby reducing device complexity.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the display into multiple series connection structures, where each structure contains micro LEDs of different colors connected in series. This segmentation allows the driving substrate to control different color groups independently through the same voltage source, simplifying the overall driving architecture while maintaining multi-color capability.
