Solution Overview

Problem

The low yield and high production cost of micro LED display modules due to the difficulty in transferring and wire bonding micro LEDs of different colors during the manufacturing process, which results in low product efficiency and high production costs.

Innovation Solution

A micro LED display module with a light transmissive substrate where micro LEDs are produced in an array form and disposed on a driver chip block, allowing each micro LED pixel to be driven individually, and a RGB color layer is used for full-color display, enabling easier transfer and production of high-resolution modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If micro LEDs of different colors are manufactured separately and attached in batches, then color accuracy and display quality are improved, but transfer difficulty and production cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor accuracyVSAvoidtransfer difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple micro LEDs of different colors (red, green, blue) onto a single driver chip block, allowing them to be transferred together as one unit rather than separately. This merging approach maintains color accuracy while significantly reducing transfer difficulty and production complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The driver chip block is designed to universally drive multiple micro LEDs of different colors simultaneously. The single driver chip block can control and transfer various colored micro LEDs together, making the transfer process more efficient and reducing the need for separate handling of each color type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If micro LEDs are transferred individually, then precise positioning is achieved, but production efficiency and product yield decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple micro LEDs are combined into an array structure on the driver chip block, enabling batch transfer while maintaining precise positioning. The array configuration allows all micro LEDs to be positioned accurately together, significantly improving production efficiency without sacrificing positioning accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The micro LEDs are pre-arranged in an array configuration on the driver chip block before transfer. This preliminary arrangement ensures that precise positioning is already established, eliminating the need for individual positioning operations during the transfer process and thereby improving production efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Area of stationary object

If conventional LEDs are used for display, then large-sized panels are achieved, but resolution and power efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidresolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display is segmented into multiple micro LEDs arranged in an array on the driver chip block. Each micro LED acts as an independent light-emitting pixel, enabling high resolution while maintaining large display area. The segmentation allows for precise control of each pixel, achieving both large size and high resolution simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of manufacture

If batch transfer of micro LEDs is performed, then production cost is reduced, but transfer difficulty and product yield worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction costVSAvoidproduct yield
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple micro LEDs are merged into a single array structure on the driver chip block, enabling batch transfer as one unit. This approach reduces production cost through batch processing while maintaining high product yield, as the array structure ensures all micro LEDs are transferred together with consistent positioning and alignment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
