DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(12) The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure shall be described clearly and completely as follows with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the embodiments as described below are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtainable by a person having ordinary skills in the art without any inventive efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(13) In the depictions as follows, various components are designated by the following reference signs respectively: 10—N-type semiconductor layer; 11—lower polarizing unit; 12—upper polarizing unit; 13—liquid crystal layer; 20—quantum well layer; 30—P-type semiconductor layer; 40—substrate layer; 50—buffer layer; 60—LED chip; 70—circuit board; 80—LED light emitting substrate; 91—blue filter layer; 92—red filter layer; 93—green filter layer; A—sub-pixel unit, A1—blue sub-pixel unit; A2—red sub-pixel unit; and A3—green sub-pixel unit.

(14) According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an LED chip is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the LED chip comprises: an N-type semiconductor layer 10, a quantum well layer 20 and a P-type semiconductor layer 30. Specifically, the quantum well layer 20 is located between the N-type semiconductor layer 10 and the P-type semiconductor layer 30. Besides, the quantum well layer 20 is further made of indium gallium nitride, wherein indium atoms have a molar ratio of greater than or equal to 0.3 in the indium gallium nitride.

(15) Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are mainly composed of PN junctions, and have a unidirectional conductivity. Specifically, the light emitting principle of LEDs can be simply summarized as follows. After a positive voltage is applied to the LEDs, holes injected from a P region to an N region and electrons injected from the N region to the P region are recombined with electrons in the N region and holes in the P region respectively, within several micrometers near the PN junction. Thereby, while the electrons and the holes disappear, photons are generated, and spontaneous emission fluorescence is generated. The energy state (band gap) in which the electrons and the holes are located varies for different semiconductor materials. Therefore, the amount of energy released from the recombination of electrons and holes will also vary. The greater the energy difference between electrons and holes is, the higher the energy of the generated photons will be. Besides, the energy of photons further corresponds to the color of light. Since different materials have different band gaps, light of different colors can be emitted. LED chips are a type of solid semiconductor devices, which is capable of achieving LED light emitting display.

(16) It should be noted that in an LED chip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the sequence of forming the N-type semiconductor layer 10, the quantum well layer 20 and the P-type semiconductor layer 30 is not limited to the case as shown in FIG. 1, i.e., in the order of N-type semiconductor layer 10, quantum well layer 20 and P-type semiconductor layer 30 from bottom to top. In contrast, in other embodiments, the P-type semiconductor layer 30, the quantum well layer 20 and the N-type semiconductor layer 10 can also be arranged sequentially from bottom to top. Those skilled in the art can make arrangement upon specific use requirements.

(17) Besides, it should also be pointed out that when the quantum well layer 20 is made of indium gallium nitride and the indium atoms have a molar ratio of greater than or equal to 0.3 in indium gallium nitride, the molar ratio of indium atoms is relatively high in indium gallium nitride. If such a quantum well layer 20 is used to fabricate an LED chip, when a drive current is fed, light emitted from the LED chip will be blue-shifted as the drive current increases. This means that the wavelength of emitted light will gradually decrease with the increase of drive current. I.e., the color of display light will gradually change from red toward green.

(18) According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an LED chip is provided, comprising: an N-type semiconductor layer, a quantum well layer and a P-type semiconductor layer. Besides, the quantum well layer is made of indium gallium nitride, wherein indium atoms have a molar ratio of greater than or equal to 0.3 in indium gallium nitride. In other words, the quantum well layer in the LED chip is formed of indium gallium nitride, and the molar ratio of the indium atoms in indium gallium nitride is selected to be greater than or equal to 0.3. In this way, when a light emitting substrate made of the LED chip is applied in a display device, the color of light emitted from the LED chip can be controlled by adjusting the magnitude of current inputted into the LED chip. Therefore, when applied to a display device, color display can be achieved.

(19) Optionally, in the LED chip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, indium atoms have a molar ratio of 0.4 in indium gallium nitride.

(20) This means that not only is the quantum well layer 20 formed of an indium gallium nitride material, but the molar ratio of the indium atoms in indium gallium nitride is selected to be 0.4. The change in spectrum of the LED chip as made in this way, upon feeding of a drive current, is shown in FIG. 2, which illustrates how the wavelength of emitted light varies as the drive current increases. As seen from the dashed arrow in FIG. 2, when the drive current increases gradually from 0.1 mA to 60 mA, the emitted light will be blue-shifted. In other words, the wavelength of emitted light decreases gradually as the drive current increases. As shown in FIG. 2, the wavelength of light shifts from 600 nm to 550 nm, and the color of light changes gradually from red to green.

(21) Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the LED chip further comprises a substrate layer 40, and the substrate layer 40 is provided with a buffer layer 50. Specifically, the N-type semiconductor layer 10, the quantum well layer 20 and the P-type semiconductor layer 30 are arranged on the buffer layer 50 as a whole.

(22) The substrate layer 40 is usually formed from one of the following three materials: sapphire (Al.sub.2O.sub.3), silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC). Assuming the substrate layer 40 is made from sapphire (Al.sub.2O.sub.3) material. In this case, a buffer layer 50 can be formed first on the substrate layer 40. After that, an N-type semiconductor layer 10, a quantum well layer 20 and a P-type semiconductor layer 30 are formed on the buffer layer 50. Specifically, in forming the above epitaxial structure, a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process is usually adopted. Obviously, those skilled in the art should understand that other manufacture processes can also be adopted in the above procedure, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

(23) According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an LED light emitting substrate is provided. The LED light emitting substrate comprises a plurality of LED chips 60 as described above. As shown in FIG. 3, the LED light emitting substrate comprises three LED chips 60 and a circuit board 70. The circuit board 70 comprises a base substrate and a drive circuit arranged on the base substrate for driving the LED chips 60. Besides, the LED chips 60 are arranged on the circuit board 70.

(24) The circuit board 70 comprises a base substrate and a drive circuit arranged on the base substrate, and the LED chips 60 are arranged on the circuit board 70. In this case, light emission from the LED chips 60 can be controlled by inputting a drive current into the LED chips 60 via the drive circuit on the circuit board 70.

(25) It should be noted that when the LED chips 60 according to embodiments of the present disclosure is applied to a Micro LED, the LED chips 60 will be integrated into an array of chips with high density. In this way, if each LED chip 60 is smaller than 50 μm in size, the size of each LED chip 60 will be very small. In this case, the LED chips 60 are usually peeled off at the position of the buffer layer 50, and then the peeled LED chips 60 are transferred to the circuit board 70 for connecting to the corresponding drive circuit. By peeling the chip structure at the buffer layer 50, the chip structure over the buffer layer 50 can be protected against damages during the process of peeling. Thereby, the LED chips 60 transferred to the circuit board 70 will not comprise the substrate layer 40. When the size of each LED chip 60 is not less than 100 μm, as shown in FIG. 3, the LED chips 60 will usually be cut together with a portion of substrate layer 40 with certain thickness. After that, the LED chips 60 with the portion of substrate layer 40 is transferred to the circuit board 70 and connected to the corresponding drive circuit. In this way, when connected to the drive circuit and emitting light, the LED chips 60 with the portion of substrate layer 40 have a more stable function.

(26) Optionally, in a specific embodiment, the circuit board 70 comprises a CMOS substrate or a TFT substrate.

(27) For example, when the LED light emitting substrate as provided by embodiments of the present disclosure is applied in an OLED display device, the circuit board 70 can be a TFT substrate. In this case, each layer is fabricated by processes such as film-forming, developing, peeling, exposure and etching, so as to form the TFT substrate. After that, the LED chips 60 are peeled and transferred to the TFT substrate. Thereby, a drive current can be inputted into the LED chips 60 via the drive circuit as fabricated on the TFT substrate.

(28) According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, a display device is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, the display device comprises the LED light emitting substrate 80 and an array of pixel units, each pixel unit comprising a plurality of sub-pixel units. Furthermore, each LED chip 60 on the LED light emitting substrate 80 is arranged within a corresponding sub-pixel unit A, and the drive circuit of the LED light emitting substrate 80 is used for transferring current to each LED chip 60 such that the LED chip 60 emits light of a corresponding wavelength.

(29) For example, with reference to FIG. 4, in the display device, the circuit board 70 of the LED light emitting substrate 80 is a TFT substrate, and a plurality of sub-pixel units A are defined on the TFT substrate by intersecting gate lines (G1, G2, G3, G4 . . . in FIG. 4) and data lines (D1, D2, D3, D4 . . . in FIG. 4). Each LED chip 60 on the LED light emitting substrate 80 is arranged within a corresponding sub-pixel unit A. The drive circuit on the TFT substrate can address and control each LED chip 60 individually by scanning, and input drive currents into the LED chips 60 disposed within different sub-pixel units A. It should be pointed out that current values of the drive currents can be either the same or different herein. After that, each LED chip 60 emits light of a corresponding wavelength depending on the inputted drive currents. Thereby, when the LED chips 60 arranged within each sub-pixel unit A have a same structure, one can adjust the current value of drive current as inputted into each LED chip 60, thereby controlling the display device to achieve color display.

(30) Optionally, as shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device comprises at least three primary color sub-pixel units, in particular, a blue sub-pixel unit. Besides, a blue filter layer 91 is further arranged on a light exit side of the LED chip 60 corresponding to each blue sub-pixel unit A1.

(31) In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the spectrum of the LED chips 60 always comprises a blue component. In this case, a blue filter layer 91 is arranged on a light exit side of the LED chip 60 corresponding to each blue sub-pixel unit A1. In this way, by inputting into the LED chip 60 corresponding to the blue sub-pixel unit A1 a random current value within a range as shown in FIG. 2, the LED chip 60 is enabled to emit light. Then, the emitted light passes through the blue filter layer 91 and is filtered thereby. Therefore, the LED chip 60 corresponding to the blue sub-pixel unit A1 is made to finally emit blue light to the outside, and lights of other colors are all blocked by the blue filter layer 91.

(32) Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, the at least three primary color sub-pixel units further comprise a red sub-pixel unit and a green sub-pixel unit. Besides, a red filter layer 92 is further arranged on a light exit side of the LED chip 60 corresponding to each red sub-pixel unit A2, and a green filter layer 93 is further arranged on a light exit side of the LED chip 60 corresponding to each green sub-pixel unit A3.

(33) In this case, by controlling the current value as inputted into the LED chips 60, and in particular, by inputting a low current value (an input current of 0.1 mA as shown in FIG. 2) into the LED chips 60, the LED chips 60 are enabled to emit red light. Similarly, by inputting a high current value (an input current of 60 mA as shown in FIG. 2) into the LED chips 60, the LED chips 60 are enabled to emit green light. In this way, by using the filtering function of the corresponding blue filter layer 91, red filter layer 92 and green filter layer 93, light exit sides of the LED chips 60 can finally exhibit blue, red and green. Accordingly, by inputting into the LED chips 60 a current value of different magnitudes, display of the three primary colors of red, green and blue can be achieved. Moreover, the display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure is enabled to achieve full color display.

(34) For example, as shown in FIG. 6, each pixel unit in the display device comprises a red sub-pixel unit A2, a green sub-pixel unit A3 and a blue sub-pixel unit A1. In this case, the LED chip 60 arranged within each red sub-pixel unit A2 will emit red light on the light exit side, the LED chip 60 arranged within each green sub-pixel unit A3 will emit green light on the light exit side, and the LED chip 60 arranged within each blue sub-pixel unit A1 will emit blue light on the light exit side. By controlling light emissions of the red sub-pixel unit A2, the green sub-pixel unit A3 and the blue sub-pixel unit A1 in each pixel unit, a desired color picture can be displayed on the display device. Besides, since the spectrum of LED chips 60 always comprise a blue component, this may lead to a poor purity in the red light emitted from the red sub-pixel unit A2 and the green light emitted from the green sub-pixel unit A3, thereby influencing the color display effect of the display device. In view of above, as shown in FIG. 6, a red filter layer 92 can be further arranged on the light exit side of the LED chip 60 corresponding to each red sub-pixel unit A2, which filters light emitted from the red sub-pixel unit A2 and blocks lights other than red light. Likewise, a green filter layer 93 can be further arranged on the light exit side of the LED chip 60 corresponding to each green sub-pixel unit A3, which filters light emitted from the green sub-pixel unit A3 and blocks lights other than green light. In this way, the purity of light emitted from each sub-pixel unit A can be enhanced. Thus, the color display effect of the display device can be improved.

(35) It should also be noted that in the display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the blue filter layer 91, the red filter layer 92 and the green filter layer 93 can be filters, or any material in any form capable of allowing passage of light of a particular wavelength and blocking light of other wavelengths. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

(36) Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device can comprise a liquid crystal display device. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the display device will further comprise a lower polarizing unit 11, a liquid crystal layer 13 and an upper polarizing unit 12 as arranged sequentially in a light exit direction of the LED light emitting substrate 80, wherein a transmission axis direction of the lower polarizing unit 11 is perpendicular to or in parallel with a transmission axis direction of the upper polarizing unit 12.

(37) As shown in FIG. 7, when the display device is a liquid crystal display device, a lower polarizing unit 11, a liquid crystal layer 13 and an upper polarizing unit 12 will be arranged sequentially in a light exit direction of the LED light emitting substrate 80. In this case, light emitted from the LED light emitting substrate 80 will first pass through the lower polarizing unit 11. After that, only part of light with the same polarizing direction as the transmission axis direction of the lower polarizing unit 11 can pass through the lower polarizing unit 11 and enter the liquid crystal layer 13. In the following, this part of light is emitted towards the upper polarizing unit 12 after being deflected by liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 13. Then, only part of light with the same polarizing direction as the transmission axis direction of the upper polarizing unit 12 can be emitted out through the upper polarizing unit, thereby achieving display.

(38) It should be noted that, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the transmission axis directions of the lower polarizing unit 11 and the upper polarizing unit 12 can be perpendicular to each other, or in parallel with each other. For example, when the transmission axis directions of the lower polarizing unit 11 and the upper polarizing unit 12 are perpendicular to each other, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 13 are arranged in a twisted nematic (TN) display mode. For the TN display mode, given no external voltage applied, the part of light passing through the lower polarizing unit 11 will theoretically be all emitted out from the upper polarizing unit 12. Therefore, backlight of the display device will be projected to be a “constant white mode”. On the contrary, when the transmission axis directions of the lower polarizing unit 11 and the upper polarizing unit 12 are parallel to each other, the backlight will be projected to be a “constant black mode” given no external voltage applied.

(39) It should be further pointed out that in the display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the upper polarizing unit 12 and the lower polarizing unit 11 can be polarizers. Alternatively, other structures can be used, as long as they can allow passage of light having the same polarizing direction as the transmission axis direction thereof.

(40) Besides, it should be further noted that the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 13 are usually arranged between two substrates and sealed by a sealant on sides, so as to avoid leakage of the liquid crystal molecules. In embodiments of the present disclosure, neither the upper polarizing unit 12 nor the lower polarizing unit 11 is required to be specially located with respect to the two substrates. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the upper polarizing unit 11 can be arranged outside the substrate above the liquid crystal layer 13. Alternatively, the upper polarizing unit 11 can also be arranged inside the substrate above the liquid crystal layer 13, as long as light emitted from the LED light emitting substrate 80 is ensured to passes through the lower polarizing unit 11, the liquid crystal layer 13 and the upper polarizing unit 12 sequentially.

(41) Optionally, in the display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the lower polarizing unit 11 and/or the upper polarizing unit 12 is a metal wire grating.

(42) In this way, when the lower polarizing unit 11 and/or the upper polarizing unit 12 is a metal wire grating, the metal wire grating can be integrated on other substrates by nano-imprinting or the like. For instance, for the lower polarizing unit 11, it can be integrated on the LED light emitting substrate 80 by nano-imprinting, so that no extra polarizer layer is required. This reduces thickness of the display device, and improves thinness and light weight of the display device.

(43) Optionally, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower polarizing unit 11 is a metal wire grating, and the metal wire grating is arranged on a light exit side of each LED chip 60.

(44) In this case, with reference to FIG. 8, the LED chips 60 are enabled to emit polarized light by simply fabricating a metal wire grating on the light exit side of each LED chip 60 by nano-imprinting or the like. In this case, the polarizing direction of light emitted from each LED chip 60 is the same as an extension direction of grating bars of the metal wire grating. Meanwhile, by means of the metal wire grating arranged on the light exit side of the LED chips 60, light emitted from the LED chips 60 can be filtered too. Thereby, no metal wire grating is required in regions other than the LED chips 60. This helps to save the material for fabricating metal wire gratings and simplifies the fabricating process.

(45) According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for controlling the above display device to achieve color display is provided. As shown in FIG. 9, the method comprises: S101, inputting a first current into the LED chip 60 disposed within the red sub-pixel unit A2, a current value of the first current falling in a range of smaller than 0.1 mA; S102, inputting a second current into the LED chip 60 disposed within the green sub-pixel unit A3, a current value of the second current falling in a range of 25 mA-100 mA; and S103, inputting a third current into the LED chip 60 disposed within the blue sub-pixel unit A1, a current value of the third current falling in a range of greater than 0.5 mA.

(46) It should be noted that in the method for achieving color display according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the steps S101-S103 are not required to be executed in any special sequence. In fact, the steps S101-S103 can be executed simultaneously, or in a random sequence. The step sequence as listed above is only exemplary, and the sequence of steps will not affect implementations of the control method in the present disclosure.

(47) Specifically, in the control method as described above, a first current is inputted into the LED chip 60 disposed within the red sub-pixel unit A2. As shown in FIG. 2, when the current value of the first current is smaller than 0.1 mA, the LED chip 60 can emit red light. Besides, a second current is inputted into the LED chip 60 disposed within the green sub-pixel unit A3. As shown in FIG. 2, when the current value of the second current is a random value between 25 mA and 100 mA, the LED chip 60 can emit green light. Furthermore, a third current is inputted into the LED chip 60 disposed within the blue sub-pixel unit A1. In this case, since the spectrum of the LED chips 60 according to embodiments of the present disclosure always comprises a blue component, the third current can be any value within the spectral range as shown in FIG. 2. Then, the LED chip 60 disposed within the blue sub-pixel unit A1 will emit light, and the light can be displayed as blue light after passing through the blue filter layer 91. If the current value of the third current is extremely small, the light intensity for display within the blue sub-pixel unit A1 will be extremely low. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the current value of the third current is defined to be greater than 0.5 mA. In this way, by controlling the current inputted into each sub-pixel unit, each pixel unit A is enabled to exhibit a corresponding color, and thereby the display device is enabled to achieve color display.

(48) For the LED chips 60, the greater the inputted current value is, the higher the light intensity for display will be. Therefore, in the above display device, although color display can be achieved, the intensity of red light is often far lower than the intensity of green light. This leads to a poor color display effect, and influences the hue in the overall display of the display device, thus causing problems such as distortion and discoloring in the finally exhibited color. In order to solve these problems, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a ratio of a duty cycle of the first current to a duty cycle of the second current can be adjusted, thereby balancing the difference in light intensity between red light and green light. In this way, the accuracy of color display can be improved, and a better display effect can be achieved for the display device.

(49) In addition, typically, the liquid crystal layer 13 can be deflected at a corresponding angle under the control of voltage. Therefore, apart from balancing the light intensities of light with different colors by adjusting the duty cycles, when the display device is a liquid crystal display device, one can also adjust the deflection of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 13 corresponding to each pixel unit. This helps to adjust the luminance and the hue of light finally displayed by each pixel unit, thereby improving the effect of color display by the display device.

(50) Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first current inputted into the LED chip 60 disposed within the red sub-pixel unit A2 can be a current having a current value of 0.1 mA. The second current inputted into the LED chip 60 disposed within the green sub-pixel unit A3 can be a current having a current value of 60 mA. The third current inputted into the LED chip 60 disposed within the blue sub-pixel unit A1 can be a current having a current value of 8 mA.

(51) When the current value of the first current is 0.1 mA, light emitted from the LED chip 60 within the red sub-pixel unit A2 has a higher proportion of red light and a better purity. Likewise, when the current value of the second current is 60 mA, light emitted from the LED chip 60 within the green sub-pixel unit A3 has a higher proportion of green light and a better purity. Besides, when the current value of the third current is 8 mA, on one hand, the LED chip 60 arranged within the blue sub-pixel unit A1 is ensured to have a sufficient light emitting intensity, and on the other hand, the power consumption of the third current is reduced.

(52) Optionally, as shown in FIG. 10, a ratio of duty cycles of the first current, the second current and the third current is 120:1:4.

(53) With reference to FIG. 10, for each pixel unit A, when the current value of the first current is 0.1 mA, the current value of the second current is 60 mA and the current value of the third current is 8 mA, a ratio of duty cycles of the first current, the second current and the third current will be 120:1:4. In this way, an optimal white balance can be achieved, thereby reducing the possibility of color shift of the display device, and further improving the color display effect and color authenticity of the display device.
