Description

Pixel unit, manufacturing method thereof, micro display screen and pixel split device
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a pixel unit, a manufacturing method thereof, a micro display screen and a pixel discrete device.
Background
Compared with the current state that the pixel size is in the order of mm in the traditional LED display technology, the pixel size of the Micro-LED display technology is in the order of mum, and the pixel size of the Micro-LED is greatly reduced. While small size pixels offer the advantages of high integration and high energy efficiency, they also offer the potential for reduced external quantum efficiency due to size effects, which can lead to power consumption and performance problems, with the red light behavior of AlGaInP systems being particularly severe. In this regard, those skilled in the art generally adopt a color conversion scheme to implement the target light source, that is, light emitted by a material with higher luminous efficiency passes through the color conversion material to form the target light source, for example, blue light/green light sub-pixel light passes through the color conversion layer to be converted into a red light source, so as to overcome the defects of the AlGaInP system red light source.
In addition, the above-mentioned conventional color conversion scheme is commonly used for medium-sized and large-sized displays, and the pixel density of such medium-sized and large-sized displays is relatively low, and the sensitivity to the thickness of the pixel is relatively low, such as watches, televisions, etc., so that a color conversion layer of tens of micrometers or more can be used. For example, a 50 μm thick quantum dot color conversion layer is used in a television. But for microdisplays, especially those used for AR/MR, the light emitting layer thickness is typically less than 10 μm and the color conversion layer thickness is smaller. Specifically, when the thickness of the light-emitting layer of the pixel unit in the prior art is lower than 10 μm, the thickness of the color conversion layer is only 2-3 μm, and the depth-to-width ratio of the color conversion layer can be generally lower than 1:1. A small color conversion layer thickness will result in a low light absorption conversion rate of the color conversion layer and a low brightness of the resulting target light source. When blue light is adopted to be converted into red light, the color conversion layer formed by the current technology is thinner, the color conversion efficiency is less than 40%, and the brightness can only reach below 100000 nits. Compared with the standard that the color conversion efficiency is 85% under the condition of 10-20 mu m of the color conversion layer in the medium-large display, the color conversion efficiency of the traditional micro display is actually at a lower level under the limit of the structure and the process, and the micro display needs to be improved. Under the condition that the color conversion layer is thinner, the excitation light source is transmitted through the color conversion layer so as to be mixed with the target light source, so that the color purity of the target light source is abnormal when the target light source is lightened, for example, when blue light color is adopted to be converted into red light, a large amount of leaked red light after the blue light is mixed and color-converted can lead to red light to be biased to powder or yellow, and the half-wave width is abnormal so as to lead to colorization abnormality.
Therefore, a pixel unit capable of effectively overcoming the above-mentioned defects is needed.

Therefore, when the short-wavelength light source with higher energy is independently lighted, the phenomenon of abnormal color purity such as variegation and the like caused by lighting the long-wavelength light source with relatively lower energy in a non-energized state based on the principle of photoexcitation can be effectively avoided.
The display unit 20 further includes at least one color conversion layer, which is sequentially disposed on a side of the first sub-pixel 31 away from the driving back plate 10.

And, the first sub-pixel 31, the second sub-pixel 32 are located in the same device layer, which may be the first device layer 30 or the second device layer 40. In order to obtain a larger depth-to-width ratio of the pixel unit 100 corresponding to the total of all the color conversion layers included in one target light source, it is preferable that the first sub-pixel 31 and the second sub-pixel 32 are located in the first device layer 30. Under this scheme, the ratio of the sum of the depths of all the color conversion layers for color conversion of the first sub-pixel 31 in the display unit 20 to the sum of the widths of all the color conversion layers in the display unit 20 is not less than 1:1 (the structure shown in fig. 2), preferably not less than 3:1 (the structure shown in fig. 3, 6), further preferably not less than 5:1 (the structure shown in fig. 4, 5), and even not less than 6:1 (the structure shown in fig. 7). Under the depth-to-width ratio, the total thickness of the color conversion layer of the pixel unit 100 in the μm level can reach more than 5 μm, even more than 10 μm, so that the problems of color conversion efficiency and light leakage are effectively overcome.
In addition, it should be noted that, the at least one color conversion layer includes, but is not limited to, a color conversion layer made of a material corresponding to one target light source, and when a plurality of sub-pixels are required to be respectively color-converted to obtain a plurality of different target light sources, only a plurality of corresponding sub-pixel-color conversion layer combinations are required to be provided.

That is, the first color conversion layer 21 does not cover the first sub-pixel 31. Through verification, even though the light-emitting layer is not coated, compared with the thickness of the light-emitting layer in the prior art, the structure can obtain better light absorption conversion rate on the premise of having a color conversion layer with a larger depth-to-width ratio.
Of course, the pixel unit 100 further improves the light absorption conversion rate by adopting the aspect ratio, and the display unit 20 further includes at least one enhancement structure 23, wherein one end of any enhancement structure 23 is connected to the ohmic layer of the corresponding device layer, and the other end extends away from the driving back plate 10.

Further, the thickness of the enhancement structure 23 increases from the end close to the driving back plate 10 to the end far from the driving back plate 10, so as to form a constraint side wall reflection structure with an inverted trapezoid cross section, and the first sub-pixel 31 is constrained and reduced to form an angle for emitting visible light, so that the collimation for emitting visible light is enhanced. In another preferred embodiment, the thickness of the reinforcing structure 23 decreases from the end near the driving back plate 10 to the end far from the driving back plate 10, forming a bowl-cup shape with a trapezoid-shaped cross section, and effectively supporting the first color conversion layer 21 formed in the reinforcing structure 23.

Specifically, when the light screen structure 24 is an inverted trough structure, it is embedded in the reinforcing structure 23. When the light screen structure 24 is a plate-like structure, it is disposed on the light emitting surface of the color conversion layer furthest from the first sub-pixel 31 in the vertical direction and the end surface of the reinforcing structure 23, and forms an inverted groove structure in cooperation with the reinforcing structure 23. In the above two structures, the optical screen structure 24 and the reinforcing structure 23 are in a tight state, so as to improve the structural reliability.
Preferably, the first passivation layer 33 and the second passivation layer 42 are formed entirely, so as to avoid unnecessary exposure of the active portion to cause a short circuit. Of course, the openings for electrical connection and the like are necessarily exposed, for example, the portion of any passivation layer located on the surface of the sub-pixel is provided with an opening for connection of the sub-pixel to the ohmic layer in the current device layer, for example, the portion of the first passivation layer 33 located on the surface of the first sub-pixel 31 is provided with an opening through which the first ohmic layer 34 is connected to the first sub-pixel 31. Likewise, the first ohmic layer 34 and the second ohmic layer 43 are preferably of an entire structure having necessary openings so as to realize common cathodes of all sub-pixels in the same pixel unit 100, even common cathodes of semiconductor devices.
