具体实施方式Detailed ways

However, the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described here. Those skilled in the art can do so without violating the connotation of the present application. Similar generalizations are made, and therefore the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
正如背景技术部分所述,现有Micro LED显示面板在制作过程中,使用巨量转移键合工艺来转移Micro LED,而巨量转移键合工艺存在加压加热过程,对Micro LED和背板都存在损伤,从而造成Micro LED显示面板的可靠性问题。As mentioned in the background technology section, existing Micro LED display panels use a mass transfer bonding process to transfer Micro LEDs during the production process. The mass transfer bonding process involves a pressure and heating process, which affects both the Micro LED and the backplane. There is damage, causing reliability problems of Micro LED display panels.
发明人研究发现,这是由于现有Micro LED显示面板在将自发光的微米量级的LED组装到驱动面板上的过程中,通常通过巨量转移键合工艺,直接将LED固定在驱动面板上,而在巨量转移键合过程中,需要对所述LED与驱动面板的接触区域进行加热、加压,使得制作完成的Micro LED显示面板中存在较多的应力积累,对Micro LED和显示面板的背板都存在损伤,影响Micro LED显示面板的可靠性。The inventor's research found that this is due to the fact that in the process of assembling self-luminous micron-sized LEDs onto the driving panel in existing Micro LED display panels, the LEDs are usually directly fixed on the driving panel through a mass transfer bonding process. , and in the mass transfer bonding process, the contact area between the LED and the driving panel needs to be heated and pressurized, so that there is more stress accumulation in the completed Micro LED display panel, which has a negative impact on the Micro LED and display panel. The backplanes are damaged, affecting the reliability of the Micro LED display panel.
