Accordingly, the exemplary views may be modified depending on manufacturing technologies and/or tolerances. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments are not limited to those shown in the views, but include modifications in configuration formed on the basis of manufacturing processes. Therefore, regions exemplified in figures may have schematic properties, and shapes of regions shown in figures may exemplify specific shapes of regions of elements to which aspects of the invention are not limited.
- Terms such as “same,” “equal,” “planar,” or “coplanar,” as used herein when referring to orientation, layout, location, shapes, sizes, amounts, or other measures do not necessarily mean an exactly identical orientation, layout, location, shape, size, amount, or other measure, but are intended to encompass nearly identical orientation, layout, location, shapes, sizes, amounts, or other measures within acceptable variations that may occur, for example, due to manufacturing processes. The term “substantially” may be used herein to emphasize this meaning, unless the context or other statements indicate otherwise. For example, items described as “substantially the same,” “substantially equal,” or “substantially planar,” maybe exactly the same, equal, or planar, or may be the same, equal, or planar within acceptable variations that may occur, for example, due to manufacturing processes.

As illustrated inFIG. 7 , an insulatinglayer 124 a, disposed in a space between thesource electrode 136 and thedrain electrode 134, may be used as a gate insulating layer of each of the first to third switching units SW1 to SW3. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 , the cell array CA may include amolding unit 140 that may form the second plane PL2 of the cell array CA while packaging the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3.

Themolding unit 140 may have a high level of Young's Modulus to stably support the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3. Further, themolding unit 140 may include a material having a high level of thermal conductivity to effectively dissipate heat generated by the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3. For example, themolding unit 140 may include a material containing an epoxy resin or a silicone resin, and may also include light-reflective particles for reflecting light.

Use of thelight filtering layer 180 may allow the second and thirdlight emitting windows - As illustrated in an example embodiment, when the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3 emit blue light, the first
wavelength conversion unit 171 may not include a phosphor. Thus, the firstwavelength conversion unit 171 may provide the same blue light as that emitted by the first semiconductor light emitting unit LED1. - The first
wavelength conversion unit 171 may be formed by dispensing a light-transmitting liquid resin in which a phosphor is not mixed, but according to an example embodiment, may include a blue or blue-green phosphor (for example, wavelength: 480 nm to 520 nm) for adjusting color coordinates of blue light. Such a phosphor may be employed to adjust the color coordinates of blue light that may be provided by the firstwavelength conversion unit 171, and may be mixed in an amount less than that of a phosphor mixed in the second and thirdwavelength conversion units - As illustrated in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , the first to thirdwavelength conversion units 171 to 173 may have anencapsulation unit 190 disposed on surfaces thereon to prevent degradation of a phosphor. - The

Other configurations may be the same as that described inFIG. 3 . When the number of sub-pixels is increased, the light emittingdevice package 400 may be beneficial in increasing a band of light emitted by disposing a sub-pixel for emitting light (for example, white light) other than RGB light. - The first to third switching units SW1 to SW3 may be electrically connected to the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3, respectively, to control the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3.

In more detail, the method of manufacturing a light emitting device package relates to a method of manufacturing a wafer-level chip scale package. Discussion of the above-mentioned process drawings, which illustrate enlarged cross sections of a portion of a light emitting device package, will help facilitate understanding of the current application. - Referring to
FIGS. 13A and 13B , the method of manufacturing a light emitting device package may start from forming, on a substrate forgrowth 110 a, alight emitting structure 121 that may include a firstconductive semiconductor layer 121 a, anactive layer 121 b, and a secondconductive semiconductor layer 121 c. - The substrate for
growth 110 a may be an insulating, conductive, or semiconductor substrate, if necessary. The substrate forgrowth 110 a may have thelight emitting structure 121 formed on a surface thereof, and may be a semiconductor substrate on which a MOSFET may be formed by doping a region of the semiconductor substrate with an impurity. For example, the substrate forgrowth 110 a may be a group IV semiconductor substrate or a group III-IV compound semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon (Si) substrate, an SiC substrate, or an SiGe substrate.

Theactive layer 121 b may have, for example, an MQW structure, in which quantum well layers and quantum barrier layers are alternately stacked with each other. For example, the quantum well layers and the quantum barrier layers may include different compositions of InxAlyGa1−x−yN (0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, 0≦x+y≦1), respectively. In a certain example, the quantum well layers may include a composition of InxGa1−x−yN (0<x≦1), and the quantum barrier layers may include GaN or AlGaN.

light emitting structure 121 may be etched to expose a region of the firstconductive semiconductor layer 121 a, forming a mesa-etchedregion 122 in thelight emitting structure 121. - The etching process may be performed as a process of removing regions of the second

Thesub-isolation region 123 b may be formed using a separate process different from a process of forming theisolation region 123 a, but also may be formed using the same process as the process of forming theisolation region 123 a. Thesub-isolation region 123 b may be narrower than theisolation region 123 a. - Subsequently, referring to
FIGS. 15A and 15B , an insulatinglayer 124 may be deposited to cover thelight emitting structure 121 and the surface of the substrate forgrowth 110 a. - Subsequently, referring to
FIGS. 16A and 16B , a first photoresist layer PR1 may be applied to cover the insulatinglayer 124, an opening h1 may be formed to expose a region of both theisolation region 123 a and thesub-isolation region 123 b, and a p-well region 131 may be formed by injecting a p-type impurity into both theisolation region 123 a and thesub-isolation region 123 b. Prior to the formation of the p-well region 131, an n-type pocket 132 may also be formed on the circumference of a region in which the p-well region 131 may be formed by injecting an n-type impurity. After the p-well region 131 is formed, the first photoresist layer PR1 may be removed. - Subsequently, referring to
FIGS. 17A and 17B , a second photoresist layer PR2 may be applied to cover the insulatinglayer 124, and openings h2 and h3 may be formed to form n-wellregions well region 131. After the n-well regions layer 124 may also be removed and then redeposited. - Referring to
FIGS. 18A and 18B ,openings layer 124.

After thesource electrode 136 and thesecond electrode 129 are formed, the connectingelectrode 137 may be formed to connect thesource electrode 136 to thesecond electrode 129, but the present inventive concept is not limited thereto, and thesource electrode 136, thesecond electrode 129, and the connectingelectrode 137 may also be formed integrally with each other. Agate electrode 135 may be formed on agate insulating layer 124 a. Thegate electrode 135 may include, for example, at least one of doped silicon (Si), tungsten (W), TiN, or alloys thereof. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIGS. 20A and 20B , first to thirdconductive vias 141 to 143 may be formed on thefirst electrode 128, thedrain electrode 134, and thegate electrode 135, respectively, and amolding unit 140 may be formed to cover the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3. - Thereafter, as illustrated in
FIGS. 21A and 21B , amultilayer circuit board 151 may be disposed to connect the first to thirdconductive vias 141 to 143 to common electrode pads CP1 and CP2 and separate electrode pads AP1, AP2, and AP3.

Themultilayer circuit board 151 may have the common electrode pads CP1 and CP2 and the separate electrode pads AP1, AP2, and AP3 disposed on a surface thereof. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIGS. 22A and 22B , first to thirdlight emitting windows 111 to 113 may be formed by etching regions of the substrate forgrowth 110 a, corresponding to the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3. - In the next step, as illustrated in
FIGS. 23A and 23B , second and thirdwavelength conversion units light emitting windows wavelength conversion unit 171 may be formed by dispensing a light-transmitting liquid resin, in which a phosphor is not mixed, in the firstlight emitting window 111. According to an example embodiment, the firstwavelength conversion unit 171 may include a blue or blue-green phosphor P1 (for example, wavelength: 480 nm to 520 nm) for adjusting color coordinates of blue light. - Subsequently, referring to
FIGS. 24A and 24B , alight filtering layer 180 may be disposed on the second and thirdwavelength conversion units encapsulation unit 190 may be formed on the first to thirdwavelength conversion units 171 to 173 to prevent degradation of the phosphor. - At this point, as illustrated in
FIGS. 25A and 25B , the light emittingdevice package 100, illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 , may be manufactured by cutting the semiconductor light emitting device into separate semiconductor light emitting device units, using a blade D. -
FIG. 26 is a CIE 1931 color space chromaticity diagram illustrating a wavelength conversion material employable in the first and secondwavelength conversion units - Referring to the CIE 1931 color space chromaticity diagram illustrated in
FIG. 26 , white light generated by combining yellow, green, and red phosphors with a blue light emitting device or by combining a green light emitting device and a red light emitting device with a blue light emitting device, may have two or more peak wavelengths, and may be positioned in an area of segments connecting (x, y) coordinates (0.4476, 0.4074), (0.3484, 0.3516), (0.3101, 0.3162), (0.3128, 0.3292), (0.3333, 0.3333) of the CIE 1931 color space chromaticity diagram. Alternatively, the white light may be located in an area surrounded by the segments and a blackbody radiation spectrum. A color temperature of the white light may range from 2,000K to 20,000K. As illustrated inFIG. 26 , white light adjacent to Point E (0.3333, 0.3333) below the blackbody radiation spectrum may be used as a light source for lighting, to create clearer viewing conditions for the naked eye while light having a yellow-based component is reduced. Thus, a lighting product using white light adjacent to Point E (0.3333, 0.3333), below the blackbody radiation spectrum, may be useful as lighting for a retail space in which consumer goods are sold, for example. - Various materials, such as a phosphor or a quantum dot (QD), may be used as a material for converting a wavelength of light emitted by the first to third semiconductor light emitting units LED1 to LED3 employed in an example embodiment.
- The phosphor may have the following formulae and colors: yellow and green Y3Al5O12:Ce, yellow and green Tb3Al5O12:Ce, and yellow and green Lu3Al5O12:Ce (oxide-based); yellow and green (Ba, Sr)2SiO4:Eu and yellow and orange (Ba, Sr)3SiO5:Ce (silicate-based); green β-SiAlON:Eu, yellow La3Si6N11:Ce, orange α-SiAlON:Eu, red CaAlSiN3:Eu, red Sr2Si5N8:Eu, red SrSiAl4N7:Eu, red SrLiAl3N4:Eu, and red Ln4−x(Eu2M1−z)xSi12−yAlyO3+x+yN18−x−y (0.5≦x≦3, 0<z<0.3, 0<y≦4) (nitride-based), in which Ln may be at least one kind of element selected from the group consisting of group IIIa elements and rare earth elements, and M may be at least one kind of element selected from the group consisting of calcium (Ca), barium (Ba), strontium (Sr), and magnesium (Mg); and KSF-based red K2SiF6:Mn4 +, KSF-based red K2TiF6:Mn4 +, KSF-based red NaYF4:Mn4 +, KSF-based red NaGdF4:Mn4 +, and KSF-based red K3SiF7:Mn4+ (fluoride-based) (for example, a composition ratio of Mn may satisfy 0<z≦0.17).
- A phosphor composition may be required to conform with stoichiometry, and respective elements thereof may be replaced with other elements in each group in which a corresponding element is included from the periodic table. For example, strontium (Sr) may be substituted with barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), or the like, of alkaline earth metals (group II), and yttrium (Y) may be substituted with terbium (Tb), lutetium (Lu), scandium (Sc), gadolinium (Gd), or the like, of lanthanides. In addition, europium (Eu), an activator, or the like, maybe substituted with cerium (Ce), terbium (Tb), praseodymium (Pr), erbium (Er), ytterbium (Yb), or the like, according to desired energy levels. An activator may be applied singly, or an additional sub-activator, or the like, may also be applied to modify characteristics.
- In particular, the fluoride-based red phosphors may be coated with a fluoride not containing Mn, or may further include an organic coating on a surface coated with a fluoride not containing Mn, in order to improve reliability at high temperatures and high humidity. In the case of the fluoride-based red phosphor described above, since a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) less than or equal to 40 nm may be implemented, unlike with other phosphors, the fluoride-based red phosphor may be used for a high-resolution television, such as an ultra high definition (UHD) TV.

FIG. 27 is a view of an indoor smart network system in which a display panel according to an example embodiment of the present inventive concept may be employed. - A
network system 1000 according to an example embodiment maybe a complex smart network system in which lighting technology, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, wireless communications technology, and the like, using a semiconductor light emitting device, such as an LED, converge. Thenetwork system 1000 may be implemented using a display panel according to an example embodiment described above, lighting devices and wired/wireless communications devices, or may be realized by using a sensor, a controller, a communications unit, software for network control and maintenance, or the like. - The
network system 1000 may be applied to an open space, such as a park or a street, as well as to a closed space defined within a building, such as a home or an office. Thenetwork system 1000 may be implemented on the basis of an IoT environment to collect or process various pieces of information and provide the collected or processed information to a user. TheLED lamp 1200 may function to check and control operational states ofother devices 1300 to 1800 included in the IoT environment, on the basis of a function of theLED lamp 1200, such as visible light communications, as well as to receive information regarding surroundings from agateway 1100 to control lighting of theLED lamp 1200 itself. - Referring to
FIG. 27 , thenetwork system 1000 may include thegateway 1100 processing data transmitted and received over different communications protocols, theLED lamp 1200 connected to thegateway 1100 to communicate therewith and including an LED as a light source, and thedevices 1300 to 1800 connected to thegateway 1100 to communicate therewith according to various wireless communications schemes. To realize thenetwork system 1000 on the basis of the IoT environment, each of thedevices 1300 to 1800, as well as theLED lamp 1200, may include at least one communications module. As an example, theLED lamp 1200 may be connected to thegateway 1100 to communicate therewith using a wireless communications protocol, such as wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi), Zigbee®, or light-fidelity (Li-Fi), and to this end, theLED lamp 1200 may have at least onelamp communications module 1210. - As described above, the
network system 1000 may be applied to an open space, such as a park or a street, as well as to a closed space, such as a home or an office. When thenetwork system 1000 is applied to a home, the plurality ofdevices 1300 to 1800 included in thenetwork system 1000 and connected to thegateway 1100 to communicate therewith on the basis of IoT technology may includehome appliances 1300, adigital door lock 1400, agarage door lock 1500, alighting switch 1600 installed on a wall or the like, arouter 1700 for wireless network relay, and amobile device 1800 such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, or a laptop PC. - In the
network system 1000, theLED lamp 1200 may check operating states of thevarious devices 1300 to 1800, or may automatically control luminance of theLED lamp 1200 itself, according to surroundings or circumstances, using a wireless communications network (Zigbeem, Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, or the like) installed in a home. Further, use of Li-Fi communications using visible light emitted by theLED lamp 1200 may allow thedevices 1300 to 1800 included in thenetwork system 1000 to be controlled. - First, the
LED lamp 1200 may automatically control the luminance of theLED lamp 1200 on the basis of information regarding surroundings transmitted from thegateway 1100 through thelamp communications module 1210, or information regarding circumstances collected by a sensor mounted in theLED lamp 1200. For example, brightness of theLED lamp 1200 maybe automatically controlled according to a type of a program being broadcast on thetelevision 1310 or brightness of an image. To this end, theLED lamp 1200 may receive operational information from thetelevision 1310 by thelamp communications module 1210 connected to thegateway 1100. Thelamp communications module 1210 may be integrally modularized with a sensor or a controller included in theLED lamp 1200. - For example, in a case in which a program broadcast on the
television 1310 is a drama, a color temperature of illumination may be controlled to be less than or equal to 12,000K, such as 6,000K, according to predetermined settings to control colors, thereby creating a cozy atmosphere. In a different manner, when a program is a comedy, thenetwork system 1000 may be configured in such a manner that a color temperature of illumination may be increased to 6,000K or more, and to be blue-based white lighting, according to predetermined settings. - When a certain period of time has elapsed after the
digital door lock 1400 is locked while there is no person in a home, thenetwork system 1000 may allow allLED lamps 1200 turned on to be turned off, thereby preventing wastage of electricity. Alternatively, in a case in which a security mode is set by themobile device 1800, or the like, when thedigital door lock 1400 is locked without a person in a home, theLED lamp 1200 may remain turned on. - Operations of the
LED lamp 1200 may also be controlled according to information regarding circumstances collected by various types of sensors connected to thenetwork system 1000. For example, when thenetwork system 1000 is implemented within a building, a light, a position sensor, and a communications module may be combined with each other in the building to collect information on locations of people in the building so that the light may be turned on or off, or the collected information may be provided to a user in real time, thereby enabling facility management or efficient use of an idle space. In general, since a lighting device, such as theLED lamp 1200, may be disposed in almost all of the spaces on each floor of a building, various pieces of information within the building may be collected by a sensor integrated with theLED lamp 1200, and the collected information may be used again, for the management of facilities, the utilization of idle space, or the like. - Meanwhile, a combination of the
LED lamp 1200 with an image sensor, a storage device, thelamp communications module 1210, and the like, may allow theLED lamp 1200 to be utilized as a device that may maintain building security or detect and deal with an emergency. For example, when a smoke or temperature sensor, or the like, is attached to theLED lamp 1200, a fire, or the like, may be promptly detected to significantly reduce damage. In addition, brightness of lighting may be controlled in consideration of external weather or an amount of sunshine, thus saving energy and providing a comfortable lighting environment. - As set forth above, according to example embodiments of the present inventive concept, a light emitting device package not requiring a separate thin film transistor (TFT) substrate, by disposing a switching unit for controlling a semiconductor light emitting device within a partition structure of a wavelength conversion unit, a method of manufacturing the light emitting device package, and a display apparatus using the light emitting device package, are provided.
- While exemplary embodiments have been shown and described above, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations could be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
