- the color filter photoresist could be selected from red, green, and blue colors. When the UV or blue light hit the full color spectrum phosphor, the light could be converted to a full color spectrum. The full color spectrum light will be absorbed by the color filter photoresist. The full color spectrum light will only emit the color of its color filter spectrum. For example of mixing red color filter photoresist, the full color spectrum light after phosphor will only emit the red color.

Abstract
Structure d'un réseau de semi-conducteurs comprenant de multiples unités semi-conductrices, une couche d'isolation et une unité tampon ou décomposée. De multiples unités semi-conductrices sont combinées au réseau de semi-conducteurs. La couche d'isolation recouvre chaque unité semi-conductrice. L'unité tampon ou décomposée recouvre la couche d'isolation et est chargée entre chaque unité semi-conductrice afin d'améliorer la structure des unités semi-conductrices. La couche d'isolation est protégée par le bord des unités semi-conductrices et de l'unité tampon ou décomposée.
