Use of Recycling-Reflection Color-Purity Enhancement Film to Improve Color Purity of Full-Color Micro-LEDs

A common full-color method involves combining micro-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) chips with color conversion materials such as quantum dots (QDs) to achieve full color. However, during color conversion between micro-LEDs and QDs, QDs cannot completely absorb incident wavelengths cause the emission wavelengths that including incident wavelengths and converted wavelength through QDs, which compromises color purity. The present paper proposes the use of a recycling-reflection color-purity-enhancement film (RCPEF) to reflect the incident wavelength multiple times and, consequently, prevent wavelength mixing after QDs conversion. This RCPEF only allows the light of a specific wavelength to pass through it, exciting blue light is reflected back to the red and green QDs layer. The prototype experiment indicated that with an excitation light source wavelength of 445.5 nm, the use of green QDs and RCPEFs increased color purity from 77.2% to 97.49% and light conversion efficiency by 1.97 times and the use of red QDs and RCPEFs increased color purity to 94.68% and light conversion efficiency by 1.46 times. Thus, high efficiency and color purity were achieved for micro-LEDs displays. Graphical Abstract

High-Uniform and High-Efficient Color Conversion Nanoporous GaN-Based Micro-LED Display with Embedded Quantum Dots

Quantum dot (QD)-based RGB micro-LED technology is seen as one of the most promising approaches towards full color micro-LED displays. In this work, we present a novel nanoporous GaN (NP-GaN) structure that can scatter light and host QDs, as well as a new type of micro-LED array based on an NP-GaN embedded with QDs. Compared to typical QD films, this structure can significantly enhance the light absorption and stability of QDs. As a result, the green and red QDs exhibited light conversion efficiencies of 90.3% and 96.1% respectively, leading to improvements to the luminous uniformity of the green and red subpixels by 90.7% and 91.2% respectively. This study provides a viable pathway to develop high-uniform and high-efficient color conversion micro-LED displays.
