In some embodiments, at least three micro LED panel are packaged together in a printed circuit board such as an FPC (flexible printed circuit) board. The micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 are separately configured on each of the circuit branches and electrically connected with each of the circuit branches. Furthermore, the micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 are configured on the end surface of each of the circuit branches. In some embodiments, the bottom edge of the micro LED panel 201, 202, 203 in one of the circuit branches is not lower than the side edge of the other circuit branches.

[0128] A micro LED optical module comprising the aforementioned micro LED package structure for micro LED panels is further disclosed herein. Wherein, the micro LED package structure is assembled with the micro optical combination element 301. The micro LED panels are assembled facing the optical combination element 301. Preferably, the width of the circuit branches is equal to or less than the width of the X-cube (the optical combination element 301). In some embodiments, the top of the micro LED panels 201, 202, 203 are in a same horizontal level. Additionally, the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are flexible to be assembled with the optical combination element 301; and the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are folded to face the optical combination element 301. In another embodiment, the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are not flexible to be assembled with the optical combination element 301.

[0129] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 11, the FPC board comprises a main circuit board 1101 and multiple circuit branches 1102, 1103, and 1104 from the main board 1101. The circuit branches 1102, 1103, and 1104 are formed to be flexible and capable of being folded and assembled with an optical combination element 301, so the circuit branches 1102, 1103, and 1104 are folded to face the optical combination element 301. The circuit of the main board 1101 is the same as the circuit of the branches 1102, 1103, and 1104. In some embodiments, three micro LED panel 201, 202, and 203 are formed onto the end surface of the branches (a first branch 1102, a second branch 1103, and a second branch 1104) and electrically connected with the circuit of the branches. Preferably, the first branch 1102 and the third branch 1104 are symmetrical relative to the center axis of the second branch 1103. The three micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 can be formed with the optical combination element 301 (as shown in FIG. 10) by folding or bending the branches in any direction, so as to form the assembled structure consistent with FIG. 10. In some embodiments consistent with FIGS. 10 and 11, the distance WD between the bottom edge of the micro LED panel 201 in the first branch 1102 and the bottom edge of the micro LED panel 203 in the third branch 1104 is equal to or close to the width of the optical combination element 301; therefore, the top edges of the three micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 are in a same horizontal level when formed with the optical combination element 301 (as shown in FIG. 10). In some embodiment, the first branch 1102 and the third branch 1104 can be folded and overlapped together to form the FPC board, which is shown in FIG. 12. In some embodiments consistent with FIGS. 10 and 12, the width WD1 of the branch 1103 is equal to or close to the width of the X-cube 301; and, the width of the X-cube 301 can be less than the width of the branch 1103; such as, the width of the X-cube 301 can be not less than the width of an active emitting area or a light area. The active emitting area 1106 is the light emitting area of the micro LED panel 201; and, the light area is the rays transmitting area on the X-cube 301 surface which is formed by the rays emitted from the micro LED panel 201. Preferably, in some embodiments consistent with FIG. 13, the FPC comprises a main board 1101 and three branches 1102, 1103, and 1104. The main board 1101 comprises a bottom board 110101 and the top board 110102. The width of the top board 110102 is greater than the width of the bottom board 110101. The circuits in the bottom board 110101 are divided into three sub-circuits. The three sub-circuits are separately connected with the micro LED panel 201, 202, 203 and separately formed in the three branches 1102, 1103, and 1104. The first branch 1102 can be folded along the dotted line Z1 and Z2 separately and the third branch 1104 can be folded along the dotted line Z3 and Z4, so as to form the FPC board as shown in FIG. 12. In some embodiment consistent with FIG. 12, the first branch 1102 can be folded along the dotted line Z5, the second branch 1103 can be folded along the dotted line Z6 and the third branch 1104 can be folded along the dotted line Z7, so as to form the assembled structure that three micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 around an X-cube 301 as shown in FIG. 10. It is noted that, the FPC board in the embodiment consistent with FIG. 12 not only can be formed by folding the branches, but also can be formed by directly printing circuits on the main board and the branches without folding the branches. It should be noted that, the shape of the micro LED panels can be rectangle, square, etc. The profile of the micro LED array area in the micro LED panel can be rectangle, square, etc. Herein, the width of the first circuit branch 1102, the width of the second circuit branch 1103, and the width of the third circuit branch 1104 are the same. It is noted that, in some embodiments, the circuit branches 1102, 1103, 1104 are not flexible to be assembled with an optical combination element 301.

[0130] In some embodiments, one end of the FPC board for supporting the micro LED panel comprises a support base on the opposite side relative to the micro LED panel. The other end of the FPC board comprises a connector and a memory. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 14, a circuit board 1420 has a strip shape and is made of a flexible material, for example, the circuit board 1420 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. Therefore, the circuit board 1420 can withstand bending force and prevent easily breaking. The circuit board 1420 has a first end and a second end. The micro display panel 1410 is formed on one surface of the first end of the circuit board 1420 and electrically connected with the circuit board 1420. The support base 1430 is formed on the other surface of the first end of the circuit board 1420 opposite to the micro display panel 1410. The support base 1430 is made of a thermal interface material, so that the support base 1430 can provide support to the micro LED panel 1410 and transfer heat. A flash memory 1440 is formed on one surface of the second end of the circuit board 1420. In some embodiments, the flash memory 1440 is configured to store instruction for controlling the micro LED panel. Optionally, the flash memory 1440 and the micro display panel 1410 are formed on the same side of the circuit board 1420. It is noted that, the flash memory 1440 is electrically connected with the circuit board 1420. The connector 1450 is formed on the other surface of the second end of the circuit board 1420 opposite to the flash memory 1440 and electrically connected with the circuit board 1420 and the flash memory 1440. The connector 1450 is configured to connect the circuit board 1420 to a micro LED display device. In some embodiments, the micro LED display device is a wearable device, such as a pair of smart glass. Additionally, the connector 1450 and the support base 1430 are formed on the same side of the circuit board 1420. In some embodiments, the micro display panel 1410 and the flash memory 1440 are on the same side of the surface of the circuit board 1420. In some embodiments, the support base 1430 and the connector 1450 are on the same side of the surface of the circuit board 1420. In some embodiments, an edge of the micro display panel 1410, an edge of the support base 1430, an edge of the flash memory 1440, and an edge of the connector 1450, do not exceed an edge of the circuit board 1420. That is, the micro display panel 1410, the support base 1430, the flash memory 1440, and the connector 1450 provided on the circuit board 1420 are within the boundary of the circuit board 1420. In some further embodiments, a central processing unit 1460 is formed between the connector 1450 and the circuit board 1420. The central processing unit 1460 is used for processing the acquired image data from external input devices, for example, a camera, a video recording device, or any image or video capturing device that is currently know or developed in the future. In some embodiments, a cooling element 1470 is formed on the back of the support base 1430 to transfer heat from the micro display panel 1410 to the support base 1430 or disseminate the heat. In some embodiments, the cooling element 1470 is a currently-known or future-developed liquid cooling system or liquid cooling element. In some embodiments, the cooling element 1470 is a solid cooling element that is physically attached to the support base 1430. In some embodiments, the support base 1430 and the cooling element 1470 are non-conductive, and are not electrically coupled with the circuit board 1420.

[0131] In some embodiments consistent with FIGS. 9 and 10, the minimum distance between the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 and the surface of the X-cube 301 facing to the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is not greater than twice of the thickness of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203; preferably, the minimum distance between the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 and the surface of the X-cube 301 facing to the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is not greater than 2 mm, preferably, not greater than 1 mm. The dimension of the X-cube 301 is decided by the active emitting areas of the micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203, and the light area on the X-cube 301 surface which is formed by the rays emitted from the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203. The X-cube 301 is a cube structure with six surfaces having the same area. The active emitting areas of the micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 are the same. Each of the surface area of the X-cube 301 can be less than the active emitting area, that is to say, the width of the active emitting area can be the same as or greater than the width of the surface of the X-cube 301; the height of the active emitting area can be the same as or greater than the height of the surface of the X-cube 301. In some embodiments, each of the surface area of the X-cube 301 is not less than the light area, that is to say, the width of the light area can be the same as or less than the width of the surface of the X-cube 301; the height of the light area can be the same as or less than the height of the surface of the X-cube 301. For example, in some embodiments, the light area on a surface of the X-cube 301 is a circle with a diameter 3 mm and the surface is facing to the micro LED panel 201, so the surface area of the X-cube 301 facing to the micro LED panel 201 is 3 mm3 mm. Furthermore, the light area is not greater than the active emitting area. When the chief ray angle of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0, that is to say, the chief ray angles of all of the micro LED structure in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0, the surface area of the X-cube 301 is not less than the active emitting area and preferably not greater than 200% of the active emitting area, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. It is noted that, when the chief ray of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is collimated into one point, the light area is less than the active emitting area; when the chief ray of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is divergent around, instead of being collimated into one point, the light area of the X-cube 301 is greater than the active emitting area.

[0132] In some embodiments consistent with FIGS. 15-17, when the chief ray angle of at least several micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is larger than 0, the surface area of the X-cube 301 is not less than the light area and preferably not greater than 200% of the active emitting area. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 15, the dotted square illustrating the minimized X-cube, the surface area of which is equal to the light area; herein, the center chief ray angle of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0. The chief ray angles of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 are increased from the center of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 to the edge of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203, so that the rays are collimated at a point into the X-cube 301 and transmits out of the X-cube 301 to display a reversed image on an interface (the dotted line). In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 16, the center chief ray angle of the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is 0; the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 are less than that in FIG. 15, so that the rays is collimated at a point which is out of the X-cube 301; and the rays transmit out of the X-cube 301 to display a minimized image on the interface (the dotted line). In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 17, the chief ray angle of the center of the micro LED array in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 is larger than 0, so that the center of the image on the interface (the dotted line) is not aligned with the center of the X-cube 301; herein, as shown in FIG. 17, the image is shifted down below the center axis of the X-cube 301. Additionally, because the chief ray angle of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202 or 203 are various, the dimension of the X-cube 301 can be decreased compared with the X-cube 301 in the embodiments consistent with FIGS. 9 and 10, in which the chief ray angle of the whole micro LED panel is 0.

[0133] In some further embodiments, the three micro LED panels 201, 202, and 203 are vertically arranged around the X-cube 301. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 15 again, a virtual rectangle (the large dotted rectangle in FIG. 15) is formed by the top side of the two micro LED panels 201 and 203, which are facing to each other. The diagonal length of the top surface of the X-cube 301 is not greater than 200% of the diagonal length of the virtual rectangle and not less than the diagonal length of the minimized square (the small dotted square in FIG. 15), preferably, not less than the top length of the active emitting area.

[0134] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 18, in which ellipsis dots represent multiple micro LED structures, multiple micro LED structures are arranged in an array to form the micro LED array, which is used as the light emitting area of the micro LED panel. In the micro LED panel, referring to some embodiments consistent with FIG. 19, illustrating a cross sectional view of the micro LED array, wherein the number of the micro LED structures is not real number; and, the semi-spheres represent micro LED structures with micro lens, the dotted line represents an interface and the arrow represents the chief ray from the micro LED structures. The chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are different. In some embodiments, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are increased from any point above the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array, such as from the center of the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array; therefore, the chief rays of the micro LED structures in the micro LED array can automatically be collimated at the point above the micro LED array, such as the point in the center axis of the micro LED array, as shown in FIG. 19; and, this micro LED array panel is also showed in FIGS. 1517. Preferably, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are increased in a certain amount, such as 1, or another. The certain amount is depended by the row number and the column number of the micro LED array and the dimension of the micro LED array. The chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the aforementioned reflective structure along the horizontal level; or, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the micro lens along the horizontal level in another embodiment, which can be referred to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/486,113.

[0135] It is noted that, the center axis of the micro LED array is an axis vertical to the micro LED array panel and across the symmetrical center. The horizontal level is parallel to the surface of the micro LED array panel, such as the top surface of the micro mesa structure. The chief ray angle is that the angel between the chief ray and the vertical direction.

[0136] In some further embodiments, a micro LED array panel can comprise multiple aforementioned micro LED structures formed into an array. The micro LED array panel is a micro self-emitting panel. In the micro LED array panel, one pixel is formed by at least one micro LED.

[0137] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 8, the micro LED structures of the micro LED panel 201, 202, and 203 may be an organic LED or an inorganic LED. The light emitting area of the micro LED array panel 201, 202, and 203 is very small, such as 3 mm*5 mm. In some embodiments, the light emitting area is the area of the micro LED array in the micro LED panel. The micro LED array panel comprises a micro LED array that forms a pixel array, such as 16001200, 680480, and 19201080. The diameter of the micro LED structure is in the range about 200 nm2 m. An IC back plane 07 is formed at the back surface of the micro LED array and electrically connected with the micro LED array. The IC back plane 07 acquires signals such as image data from outside via signal lines to control a corresponding micro LED to emit light or not. The IC back plane 07 generally employs an 8-bit Digital to analog converter (DAC). The 8-bit DAC has 256 levels of manifestations, and each level corresponds to one gray level, that is, the 8-bit DAC may provide 256 different gray levels. Since any one of the 256 gray levels may be applied on the micro LED, a gray level ranging from 0 to 255 may be displayed by one pixel. Optionally, a brightness value of the micro LED can be controlled by voltage amplitudes or current amplitudes of the signals acquired by the IC back plane, while the gray levels can be shown by time intervals, e.g., pulse widths, of the signals, which can be understood by those skilled in the art.

Embodiment 2

[0138] Referring to FIG. 20, the micro LED structure comprises: a mesa structure and a micro lens 11. Furthermore, the aforementioned reflective structure 00 can be formed around the mesa structure. The detail of the mesa structure and the reflective structure 00 can be referred to the description of Embodiment 1. Additionally, an antireflective film 12 is further formed on at least part of the surface of the micro lens 11.

[0139] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 20, the antireflective film 12 is formed on the emitting portion of the surface of the micro lens 11 where the ray emitted from. Herein, the chief ray of the micro LED structure is vertical to the top surface of the mesa structure and emitted from the top center of the micro lens 11. The antireflective film 12 is formed on the top of the micro lens 11. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 21, the chief ray is inclined to the top surface of the mesa structure and emitted from the micro lens 11 at an angle in a range of 045 relative to the vertical direction. The antireflective film 12 is formed on part surface of the micro lens 11, as shown in FIG. 21.

[0140] In some embodiments consistent with FIGS. 22 and 23, the antireflective film 12 can be formed on the whole micro lens 11 surface. The dielectric layer 08 is formed around the mesa structure and a spacer 081 is formed on the dielectric layer 08, the top of the mesa structure and the top of the reflective structure 00; and, the antireflective film 12 is further formed on the top of the spacer 081.

[0141] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 23, the thickness of the antireflective film 12 formed on the emitting portion is larger than the thickness of the antireflective film 12 formed on the other positions of the micro lens 11. Additionally, when the chief ray is vertical to the top surface of the mesa structure, the thickness of the antireflective film 12 on the top of the micro lens 11 is larger than the thickness of the antireflective film 12 on the other positions of the micro lens 11.

[0142] Due to the various chief ray angles of the emitting light by shifting the reflective structures or the micro lens, the optical loss of the ray in the micro lens 11 and on the surface of the micro lens 11 is produced and cannot be avoided. Therefore, the antireflective film 12 can improve the transmitting rate of the rays emitted from the micro lens 11, thereby increasing the light emitting efficiency of the micro LED structure. Preferably, the thickness of the antireflective film 12 is in the range of 1 nm10 m. And the dielectric constant of the antireflective film 12 is between the dielectric constant of the micro lens and the dielectric constant of the air. The material of the antireflective film 12 is polymer, inorganic oxide, or inorganic nitride. The inorganic oxide can be silicon oxide, Al.sub.2O.sub.3, or TiO.sub.2. Furthermore, the inorganic nitride can be silicon nitride or aluminum nitride, such as Si.sub.3N.sub.4, Al.sub.3N.sub.4, etc. The antireflective film 12 is transparent with high transmitting efficiency. The shape of the antireflective film 12 can be conformal with the shape of the micro lens 11, that is to say, the curvature radius of the antireflective film 12 is the same as the radius of the micro lens 11. For example, the shape of the antireflective film 12 can be arc shaped, semi-sphere shaped, etc. It is noted that, in another embodiments, the shape of the antireflective film 12 can be a sphere with different radius compared with the micro lens 11. It is noted that, the antireflective film 12 can also be used as a protective layer to protect the surface of the micro lens 11 from being damaged.

[0143] In some embodiments, the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure can be changed by shifting reflective structure 00 as mentioned above or by shifting the micro lens 11 along the top surface of the mesa structure. For example, the center axis of the micro lens 11 is shifted from the center axis of the mesa structure, so as to change the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure.

[0144] The detail of the mesa structure, the reflective structure and the IC back plane 07 can be referred to the description of Embodiment 1.

[0145] Furthermore, the spacer 081 is formed at the bottom of the micro lens 11 and between the mesa structure and the micro lens 11. The thickness of the spacer 081 can be adjusted according to the actual requirement. Preferably, the thickness of the spacer 081 can be less than the curvature radius of the micro lens 11 in the embodiment. It is noted that, in another embodiment, the thickness of the spacer 081 is equal to or greater than the radius of the micro lens 11. The distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the light emitting layer 02 is determined by the thickness of the spacer 081 and the radius of the micro lens 11. Preferably, the thickness of the spacer 081 is less than 50% of the radius of the micro lens 11. And, the thickness of the spacer is in the range of 10%200% of the height of the micro lens.

[0146] It is noted that, the micro LED structure in the Embodiment 2 can also be applied in the micro LED projector as mentioned in the Embodiment 1.

[0147] It is also noted that, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the micro lens 11 along the horizontal level in another embodiment, as shown in the embodiment consistent with FIGS. 24 and 25. Therefore, the reflective structure is not needed in these embodiments. And the chief ray angle can also be changed by both shifting the micro lens along the horizontal level and shifting the reflective structure 00 at the same time in the embodiments consistent with FIG. 26. Therefore, the reflective structure 00 and the micro lens 11 are both needed in these embodiments.

Embodiment 3

[0148] Referring to the embodiments consistent with FIG. 27, the micro LED structure comprises: a mesa structure and a micro lens 11. The micro LED structure further comprises the aforementioned reflective structure 00, the spacer 081, the isolation layer 10 and the dielectric layer 08. The detail of the mesa structure, the micro lens 11, the spacer 081, the isolation layer 10, the dielectric layer 08 and the reflective structure 00 can be referred to the Embodiments 1 and 2.

[0149] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 27, the shape of the micro mesa structure is as follows: the top surface area of the micro mesa structure is less than the bottom surface area of the micro mesa structure, like a trapezoid. Furthermore, the distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the top of the micro mesa structure is not greater than 70% of the height of the micro mesa structure, as shown in FIG. 27, the black dot representing the focal point position, which will be described hereinafter. Preferably, the curvature radius of the micro lens 11 is in the range of 100 nm10 m; and, the diameter of the micro lens 11 is greater than the top width of the micro mesa structure. It is noted that, if the chief ray angle of the micro LED structure is greater than 0, the diameter of the micro lens 11 can be less than the top width of the micro mesa structure.

[0150] When the spacer 081 is formed between the micro lens 11 and the mesa structure, the position of the focal point of the micro lens 11 is decided by the thickness of the spacer 081, the height of the micro lens 11 and the curvature radius of the micro lens 11. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 28, the black dot representing the focal point position, the thickness of the spacer 081 is greater than 100%300% of the curvature radius, the position of the focal point is above the top surface of the micro mesa structure. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 29, the black dot representing the focal point position, the thickness of the spacer 081 is around 100%300% of the curvature radius, the position of the focal point is on the top surface of the micro mesa structure. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 27, the thickness of the spacer 081 is less than 100%300% of the curvature radius, the position of the focal point is below the top of the micro mesa structure.

[0151] In some further embodiments, when the spacer is not formed between the mesa structure and the micro lens 11, the position of the focal point is determined by the curvature radius of the micro lens. In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 30, the black dot representing the focal point position, the curvature radius of the micro lens 11 is 50%100% of the height of the mesa structure, the distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the top of the micro mesa structure is not greater than 70% of the height of the micro mesa structure.

[0152] It is noted that, when the height of the micro lens 11 is kept at a preset value with the curvature radius of the micro lens 11 increasing larger, the focal point position will be moved down; furthermore, when the diameter of the micro lens 11 without the spacer 081 is greater than the bottom width of the mesa structure and the height of the micro lens 11 is less than the radius of the micro lens 11, the focal point position of the micro lens 11 can reach out of the bottom of the mesa structure. Additionally, when the diameter of the micro lens 11 is 100%200% of the top width of the mesa structure, or is equal to the bottom width of the mesa structure, the distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the top of the micro mesa structure is not greater than 70% of the height of the micro mesa structure. Preferably, the radius of curvature of the micro lens is in the range of 100 nm10 m.

[0153] Additionally, the surface roughness of mesa structure is another influence factor on the focal point position. The mesa structure causes light scattering on the surface of the micro lens 11 and the surface of the mesa structure, so the actual focal point of the micro lens 11 cannot reach too deep into the mesa structure. Preferably, the distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the top of the micro mesa structure is not greater than 70% of the height of the micro mesa structure. In some embodiments, the distance between the focal point and the top surface of the mesa structure is at the 30% of the height of the micro mesa structure. Preferably, the surface roughness of the micro mesa structure is 1 nm100 nm.

[0154] Preferably, the surface roughness of the micro lens 11 is in the range of 1 nm100 nm. The material of the micro lens 11 is selected from polymer, inorganic oxide, and inorganic nitride. The inorganic material can be silicon oxide or silicon nitride. It is noted that, the material of the micro lens 11 can be different from the material of the spacer 081; or, in some embodiment, the material of the micro lens 11 can be the same as the material of the spacer 081.

[0155] Various light luminous and efficiency is determined at least by various focal point positions of the micro lens and the various chief ray angle of the micro LED structure.

[0156] It is noted that, the micro LED structure in the Embodiment 3 can also be applied in the micro LED projector as mentioned in the Embodiment 1.

Embodiment 4

[0158] Referring to the embodiments consistent with FIG. 31, the mesa structure is different from that of the Embodiment 3. The mesa structure in the Embodiment 4 is as follows: the top surface area of the micro mesa structure is greater than the bottom surface area of the micro mesa structure, like a reversed trapezoid.

[0159] Additionally, as mentioned above, the surface roughness of the micro lens 11 and the surface roughness of mesa structure are additional influence factors on the focal point position. The surface roughness of the micro lens 11 and the mesa structure causes light scattering on the surface of the micro lens 11 and the surface of the mesa structure, so the actual focal point of the micro lens 11 cannot reach too deep into the mesa structure. Preferably, the surface roughness of the micro lens is in the range of 1 nm1000 nm. Thus, the distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the top of the micro mesa structure is not greater than 100% of the height of the micro mesa structure, which is not different from that of the Embodiment 3. In the reversed-trapezoid-like micro LED structure, the curvature radius of the micro lens 11 may be greater than that in the trapezoid-like micro LED structure in the Embodiment 3, so the focal point position may be deeper into the mesa structure compared with the focal point of the Embodiment 3. When the diameter of the micro lens 11 is 80%120% of the top width of the reversed-trapezoid mesa structure or is equal to the bottom width of the mesa structure, the distance between the focal point of the micro lens 11 and the top of the reversed-trapezoid micro mesa structure is not greater than 100% of the height of the reversed-trapezoid micro mesa structure. Preferably, the radius of curvature of the micro lens 11 is in the range of 100 nm10 km.

[0186] Multiple micro LED structures are arranged in an array to form the micro LED array, which is used as the light emitting area of the micro LED panel. In the micro LED panel, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are different. For example, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are increased from any point above the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array, such as from the center of the micro LED array to the edge of the micro LED array; therefore, the chief rays of the micro LED structures in the micro LED array can be automatically collimated at the point above the micro LED array, such as the point in the center axis of the micro LED array, as shown in FIG. 19; and, this micro LED array panel is also showed in FIGS. 1517. Preferably, the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures are increased in a certain amount, such as 1, or other degrees. The certain amount is depended by the row number and the column number of the micro LED array and the dimension of the micro LED array. The chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the aforementioned reflective structure along the horizontal level; or, the chief ray angle can be changed by shifting the micro lens along the horizontal level in another embodiment, which can be referred to in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/486,113.

[0187] More details of the micro LED structure can be referred to in the description of Embodiment 14.

[0188] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 35, because the dimension of the micro LED panel 15 being very small and the chief ray angle being adjustable, the dimension of the collimator group 1400 will be smaller. In some embodiments, the diameter of the lens in the collimator group 1400 is reduced and the thickness of the lens is reduced, so that the volume of the collimator group 1400 will be further reduced. In a similar manner, referring to embodiments consistent with FIGS. 36 and 37, since the dimension of the micro LED panel 201, 202, and 203 are very small and the chief ray angle is adjustable, the dimension of the optical combination element 301 and the dimension of the collimator group 1400 will be smaller. In some embodiments, the width of the X-cube is reduced, so that the volume of the X-cube is further reduced. In some embodiments, the diameter of the lens in the collimator group 1400 is reduced and the thickness of the lens is reduced, so that the volume of the collimator group 1400 is further reduced. In some more specific embodiments, the micro LED panel 201, 202, or 203 is not greater than 3 mm, the width of the X-cube is not greater than 3 mm, the diameter of lens in the collimator group 1400 is not greater than 3 mm and the length of the collimator group 1400 is not greater than 3 mm, so the optical engine or the micro LED projector is even smaller, which facilitates the device to be minimized with less weight. When the chief ray angles of the micro LED structures in the micro LED panel 201, 202, and 203 are different and collimated into a point (as mentioned above), the dimension of the X-cube and the dimension of the collimator group 1400 will become smaller and smaller.

[0189] In some embodiments, the center axis of the micro LED array is an axis vertical to the micro LED array panel and through the symmetrical center of the micro LED array. The horizontal level is parallel to the surface of the micro LED array panel.

[0190] In some further embodiments, a micro LED array panel can comprise multiple aforementioned micro LED formed into an array. The micro LED array panel is a micro self-emitting panel. The micro LED in the panel may be an organic LED or an inorganic LED. The light emitting area of the micro LED array panel is very small, such as 3 mm*5 mm. It is noted that, the light emitting area is the area of the micro LED array. The micro LED array panel comprises a micro LED array that forms a pixel array, such as 16001200, 680480, and 19201080. The diameter of the micro LED is in the range of 200 nm2 m. An IC back plane is formed at the back surface of the micro LED array and electrically connected with the micro LED array. The IC back plane acquires signals such as image data from outside via signal lines to control a corresponding micro LED to emit light. The IC back plane generally employs an 8-bit Digital to analog converter (DAC). The 8-bit DAC has 256 levels of manifestations, and each level corresponds to one gray level, that is, the 8-bit DAC may provide 256 different gray levels. Since any one of the 256 gray levels may be applied on the micro LED, a gray level ranging from 0 to 255 may be displayed by one pixel. Optionally, a brightness value of the micro LED can be controlled by voltage amplitudes or current amplitudes of the signals acquired by the IC back plane, while the gray levels can be shown by time intervals, e.g., pulse widths, of the signals.

Embodiment 6

[0192] In some embodiments consistent with FIG. 38, a micro LED display device is provided and comprises: at least one monolithic micro LED projectors 1601 and an optical waveguide 1602. The monolithic micro LED projectors 1601 are formed to separately generate monochrome images in one color or in different colors. The optical waveguide 1602 is formed to receive the monochrome images from the monolithic micro LED projectors, respectively. The optical waveguide 1602 is further formed to deliver the monochrome images and then combine the monochrome images into an objective image by overlapping them.

[0193] In some embodiments, the monolithic micro LED projector comprises: a monolithic micro LED panel and a collimator group, wherein, light from the monolithic micro LED panel is formed to transmit into the collimator group and is corrected therein.

Further details of the chief ray angles and the relationship of the chief ray angle and the micro LED array can be referred to in the description of Embodiments 15.

[0195] Because the chief ray angles of the micro LEDs are formed to collimate into a certain direction, the light area on the collimator group is smaller than that from the conventional micro LED projector having the micro LEDs with a same chief angle at 90, thereby reducing the volume of the micro LED projector and reducing the volume of the optical waveguide, which facilitates the combination of the micro LED projectors and the optical waveguide. Furthermore, the micro LED display device can be facilitated to reduce the weight and volume of any headset, a head-up device, a VR device, and an AR device, or any other micro display device.
