說明書
The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and more particular to a method for manufacturing a color micro light-emitting diode (LED) array substrate.
A micro light-emitting diode (LED) is a device having a size between several microns and hundreds of microns. Since it is much smaller than regular LEDs in size, it becomes possible to use a single LED to serve as a pixel for displaying purposes. A micro LED display is a display device that displays an image with a display pixel array that is made up of a high-density arrangement of micro LED array, which, similar to a large scale outdoor LED display panel, allows each of the pixels to be addressable and individually drivable for light emission and can be considered as a miniature version of the outdoor LED display panel, wherein pixel distance is reduced from the order of millimeters to the order of microns. The micro LED display, similar to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, is a self-luminous display, but compared to the OLED display, the micro LED display shows advantages, such as better material stability, extended life span, and being free of burn-in, and is considered the most powerful competitor of the OLED display.
