Description

Full-color Micro-LED device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a full-color Micro-LED array display and white light device based on a III-nitride/organic semiconductor hybrid structure, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor solid illumination and display.
Background
Light emitting diodes are called fourth generation illumination sources because of their advantages of high efficiency, long lifetime, self-luminescence, environmental protection, etc., and have been widely used in various fields of display, illumination, etc. However, with the rapid development of information technology and mobile internet, virtual display (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and wearable devices are emerging, information presentation modes are more and more diversified, the conventional display technology cannot meet the existing requirements, and the novel low-power consumption, high-brightness, wide color gamut and ultrahigh-resolution micro-display technology becomes more and more important. The III-nitride is an important semiconductor luminescent material, the band gap of the III-nitride is wide and continuously adjustable, the luminescent color covers the whole visible light region, near ultraviolet region and infrared band, and the potential application of the III-nitride in the fields of illumination and display is always an international research hotspot. With the increasing maturity of microstructure III-nitride LED technology, Micro-LEDs as pixel LED Micro-display and illumination technology become possible.
Generally, LEDs are monochromatic light sources, and in order to realize multi-medium color emission or white light emission, Micro-LEDs with three primary colors of red, green and blue or Micro-LED arrays with complementary colors of yellow and blue need to be combined, and currently, the main methods include an RGB three-color LED method, a UV/blue LED + light-emitting medium method, and an optical lens synthesis method. However, the above-mentioned preparation methods have the problems of full color display deviation, low light conversion efficiency, uneven coating of the luminescent medium, high preparation cost, harsh processing conditions, and being not suitable for large-area production, and thus are not suitable for the realization and application of high-quality commercial LED products. In recent years, organic semiconductor materials are widely used in the fields of illumination and display due to their advantages of low cost, simple processing technology, rich luminescent colors, easy integration, and the like. Researchers have also actively tried to combine inorganic semiconductors with organic semiconductors to produce LEDs, and such mixed structure LEDs combine the good electrical properties of inorganic semiconductors with the excellent optical properties of organic semiconductors. Based on the structure, a novel full-color micro LED device based on a III-nitride/organic semiconductor hybrid structure is provided. From the presently disclosed Micro-LED technology, there is no full color Micro-LED combining organic light emitting diode technology with inorganic light emitting diode technology.
