As shown in the figure, a light emitting device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a first electrode 1100 , a second electrode 1200 and an epitaxial structure 1300 .

磊晶结构1300设置于第一电极1100与第二电极1200之间。磊晶结构1300具有发光层1320、设置于发光层1320与第一电极1100间的第一型半导体层1310以及设置于发光层1320与第二电极1200间的第二型半导体层1330。第二型半导体层1330的第一表面1331接触发光层1320,第二型半导体层1330的第二表面1333相对于第一表面1331,且第二表面1333具有至少一个凹陷R,此处以一个凹陷R为例。凹陷R通过蚀刻形成于第二型半导体层1330中,且位于第二表面1333的中心区域。至少部分第二电极1200设置于凹陷R中。磊晶结构1300可包括Ⅱ-Ⅵ族材料(例如:锌化硒(ZnSe))或Ⅲ-Ⅴ氮族化物材料(例如:氮化镓(GaN)、氮化铝(AlN)、氮化铟(InN)、氮化铟镓(InGaN)、氮化铝镓(AlGaN)或氮化铝铟镓(AlInGaN))。The epitaxial structure 1300 is disposed between the first electrode 1100 and the second electrode 1200 . The epitaxial structure 1300 has a light emitting layer 1320 , a first type semiconductor layer 1310 disposed between the light emitting layer 1320 and the first electrode 1100 , and a second type semiconductor layer 1330 disposed between the light emitting layer 1320 and the second electrode 1200 . The first surface 1331 of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 contacts the light-emitting layer 1320, the second surface 1333 of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 is opposite to the first surface 1331, and the second surface 1333 has at least one depression R, here a depression R as an example. The recess R is formed in the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 by etching, and is located in the central region of the second surface 1333 .

磊晶结构1300的厚度T以不超过6微米为佳,且磊晶结构1300的厚度T通常大于1微米,太厚或太薄都将影响后续制程的良率。本实施例的第二型半导体层1330的厚度可大于第一型半导体层1310的厚度,其中第二型半导体层1330的厚度介于1微米至5微米之间,主动层1320的厚度介于0.1微米至1微米之间,而第一型半导体层1330的厚度介于0.1微米至0.5微米之间,但并不以为限。其中第一型半导体层1310与第二型半导体层1330的掺杂类型不同。举例来说,第一型半导体层1310例如为P型掺杂的半导体层,而第二型半导体1330层例如为N型掺杂的半导体层。发光层1320例如为一多量子阱(multiple quantum well,MQW)结构,但并不以为限。而凹陷R的深度与第二型半导体层1330的厚度的比值大于0且小于等于0.4,大于0.4可能会使磊晶结构1300产生缺陷。The thickness T of the epitaxial structure 1300 is preferably no more than 6 microns, and the thickness T of the epitaxial structure 1300 is usually greater than 1 micron. Too thick or too thin will affect the yield of subsequent processes.

The light emitting layer 1320 is, for example, a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure, but not limited thereto. The ratio of the depth of the recess R to the thickness of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.4, and greater than 0.4 may cause defects in the epitaxial structure 1300 .

In other words, one surface of the second electrode 1200 is slightly lower than the opening of the recess R. Referring to FIG.

请回到图1A,以第二电极1200填满凹陷R为例,凹陷R的开口面积与第二型半导体层1330的第二表面1333的一俯视面面积的比值介于0.01至0.5之间,大于0.5可能会造成遮光,小于0.01会使电流分布较不均匀,较佳是介于0.02至0.2之间,可兼具电流分布效率以及减少遮光。举例来说,于第一个实施例中,第二型半导体层1330的俯视面为15微米长宽的正方形,而凹陷R的开口为直径3微米的圆形,将可以有较佳的电流分布效率及出光率。虽然前述实施例以第二型半导体层1330的俯视面为正方形且凹陷R的开口为圆形为例,然而实际上本发明并不限定第二型半导体层1330的俯视面的形状,也不限定凹陷R的开口形状与剖面形状。举例来说,第二型半导体层1330的俯视面也可以是矩形、圆形或其他适当的形状。而凹陷R的开口也可以是正方形、矩形、椭圆形或其他适当的形状。而凹陷R的剖面也可以是正方形、矩形、椭圆形、柱状或其他适当的形状。Please return to FIG. 1A , taking the second electrode 1200 filling the recess R as an example, the ratio of the opening area of the recess R to the area of a plan view of the second surface 1333 of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 is between 0.01 and 0.5, If it is greater than 0.5, it may cause shading, and if it is less than 0.01, the current distribution will be uneven. It is preferably between 0.02 and 0.2, which can achieve both current distribution efficiency and reduced shading. For example, in the first embodiment, the top view surface of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 is a square with a length and width of 15 microns, and the opening of the recess R is a circle with a diameter of 3 microns, which can have better current distribution. Efficiency and light yield. Although the foregoing embodiments take the top view surface of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 as a square and the opening of the recess R as an example, the present invention does not limit the shape of the top view surface of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330, nor does it limit The opening shape and cross-sectional shape of the recess R. For example, the plan view of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 may also be rectangular, circular or other suitable shapes. The opening of the recess R can also be square, rectangular, elliptical or other suitable shapes. The cross section of the depression R can also be square, rectangular, elliptical, columnar or other appropriate shapes.

借助如图1B至图1E的设置,虽然在前述第一个实施例中,从第二型半导体层1330的俯视面来看,第二电极1200的面积(也就是凹陷R的开口面积)仅为2.25π平方微米。然而,实际上第二电极1200与第二型半导体层1330接触的面积,也就是底部与侧壁的面积总合,远大于凹陷R的开口面积,从而使第二电极1200与第二型半导体层1330之间的接触面积提升,从而提高电流分布及/或发光效率。特别说明的是,发光元件1000的最大宽度尺寸介于1微米到100微米之间,较佳是介于3微米到30微米之间,亦即本实施例中的发光元件1000为一微型发光元件(Micro LED)。由于微型发光元件的尺寸更为小,制作电极上要达到不遮光且较佳的电流分布效率有一定难度。通过第二电极1200设置于凹陷R中,让微型发光元件1000能兼具微小化并有效增加电流的分布效率。1B to 1E, although in the aforementioned first embodiment, viewed from the top view of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330, the area of the second electrode 1200 (that is, the opening area of the recess R) is only 2.25π square microns. However, in fact, the area where the second electrode 1200 is in contact with the second-type semiconductor layer 1330, that is, the sum of the area of the bottom and the sidewall, is much larger than the opening area of the recess R, so that the second electrode 1200 and the second-type semiconductor layer The contact area between 1330 is increased, thereby improving current distribution and/or luminous efficiency. In particular, the maximum width of the light-emitting element 1000 is between 1 micron and 100 microns, preferably between 3 microns and 30 microns, that is, the light-emitting element 1000 in this embodiment is a micro light-emitting element (Micro LEDs). Due to the smaller size of the micro-light-emitting elements, it is difficult to achieve better current distribution efficiency without shading the electrodes. By disposing the second electrode 1200 in the recess R, the miniature light-emitting device 1000 can be miniaturized and effectively increase the distribution efficiency of the current.

R is distributed on the second surface 1333 of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 . In other words, a total of nine second electrodes 1200 are dispersedly disposed on the second surface 1333 of the second-type semiconductor layer 1330 to make the current distribution more uniform. Here, the plurality of recesses R are arranged at equal intervals on the second surface 1333, but in other embodiments, the plurality of recesses R may also be arranged at unequal intervals on the second surface 1333, such as being dispersedly arranged on the second surface Both sides of 1333 can reduce the positive shading. In particular, the ratio of the total area of the recessed openings in FIG. 2 to the area of the top surface of the second surface 1333 is between 0.01 and 0.5. If it is greater than 0.5, it may cause shading, and if it is less than 0.01, the current distribution will be uneven. Between 0.01 and 0.2, it can combine current distribution efficiency and reduce shading.

具体来说,基板2100具有显示区2110与非显示区2120。多个像素结构PX设置于基板2100的显示区2110上,每个像素结构PX由至少一个发光元件组成。此处是以每三个发光元件3000、4000、5000组成一个像素结构PX为例,举例来说,发光元件3000例如对应于蓝色子像素、发光元件4000例如对应于绿色子像素及而发光元件5000例如对应于红色子像素。特别说明的是,这些像素结构PX可组成40像素密度(Pixels Per Inch,PPI)至400像素密度,具有较佳分辨率。基板2100的非显示区2120中设置有数据驱动电路2121,其分别电性连接至各发光元件3000、4000与5000以将数据信号传输到各发光元件3000、4000与5000,以及扫描驱动电路2122,其分别电性连接至各发光元件3000、4000与5000以将扫描信号传输到各发光元件3000。数据驱动电路2121、扫描驱动电路2122、以及发光元件3000、4000与5000全部电性连接至一控制电路6000,例如一电路板,以驱动与控制发光元件3000、4000与5000的出光。Specifically, the substrate 2100 has a display area 2110 and a non-display area 2120 . A plurality of pixel structures PX are disposed on the display area 2110 of the substrate 2100, and each pixel structure PX is composed of at least one light emitting element. Here, a pixel structure PX is composed of three light emitting elements 3000, 4000, 5000 as an example. For example, the light emitting element 3000 corresponds to the blue sub-pixel, the light emitting element 4000 corresponds to the green sub pixel and 5000 corresponds to a red subpixel, for example. In particular, these pixel structures PX can form 40 pixel density (Pixels Per Inch, PPI) to 400 pixel density, with better resolution. The non-display area 2120 of the substrate 2100 is provided with a data driving circuit 2121, which is electrically connected to each of the light emitting elements 3000, 4000 and 5000 to transmit data signals to each of the light emitting elements 3000, 4000 and 5000, and a scanning driving circuit 2122, They are respectively electrically connected to the light emitting elements 3000 , 4000 and 5000 to transmit scanning signals to each light emitting element 3000 . The data driving circuit 2121, the scanning driving circuit 2122, and the light emitting elements 3000, 4000, and 5000 are all electrically connected to a control circuit 6000, such as a circuit board, to drive and control the light output of the light emitting elements 3000, 4000, and 5000.

其中以发光元件3000为例,发光元件3000具有第一电极3100、第二电极3200与磊晶结构3300。磊晶结构3300设置于第一电极3100与第二电极3200之间。磊晶结构3300具有发光层3320、设置于发光层3320与第一电极3100间的第一型半导体层3310与设置于发光层3320与第二电极3200间的第二型半导体层3330。第二型半导体层3330的第二表面3333相对于第一表面3331,且第二表面3333具有至少一个凹陷R。至少部分第二电极3200设置于第二型半导体层3330的至少一个凹陷R中。磊晶结构3300可包括Ⅱ-Ⅵ族材料(例如:锌化硒(ZnSe))或Ⅲ-Ⅴ氮族化物材料(例如:氮化镓(GaN)、氮化铝(AlN)、氮化铟(InN)、氮化铟镓(InGaN)、氮化铝镓(AlGaN)或氮化铝铟镓(AlInGaN))。其中在发光元件3000、4000与5000中间可填有绝缘层,以避免水气及氧气侵袭,提高发光元件的可靠度。或在发光元件3000、4000与5000中间填有反射层,可有效反射发光元件3000、4000与5000的侧向出光以增加出光。Taking the light emitting element 3000 as an example, the light emitting element 3000 has a first electrode 3100 , a second electrode 3200 and an epitaxial structure 3300 . The epitaxial structure 3300 is disposed between the first electrode 3100 and the second electrode 3200 . The epitaxial structure 3300 has a light emitting layer 3320 , a first type semiconductor layer 3310 disposed between the light emitting layer 3320 and the first electrode 3100 , and a second type semiconductor layer 3330 disposed between the light emitting layer 3320 and the second electrode 3200 . The second surface 3333 of the second-type semiconductor layer 3330 is opposite to the first surface 3331 , and the second surface 3333 has at least one recess R. At least part of the second electrode 3200 is disposed in at least one recess R of the second-type semiconductor layer 3330 . The epitaxial structure 3300 may include II-VI group materials (such as zinc selenide (ZnSe)) or III-V nitride materials (such as gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN), indium nitride ( InN), indium gallium nitride (InGaN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) or aluminum indium gallium nitride (AlInGaN)). An insulating layer can be filled between the light-emitting elements 3000, 4000 and 5000 to avoid moisture and oxygen attack and improve the reliability of the light-emitting elements. Or a reflective layer is filled in the middle of the light-emitting elements 3000, 4000, and 5000, which can effectively reflect the lateral light emitted by the light-emitting elements 3000, 4000, and 5000 to increase the light output.

磊晶结构3300的厚度以不超过6微米为佳。特别说明的是发光元件3000、4000与5000的磊晶结构可具有不同厚度,例如发光元件3000例如对应于蓝色子像素可具有较厚的厚度,以增加发光元件个别的出光效率。应其中第一型半导体层3310与第二型半导体层3330的掺杂类型不同。举例来说,第一型半导体层3310例如为P型掺杂的半导体层,而第二型半导体3330层例如为N型掺杂的半导体层。发光层3320例如为一多量子阱(multiplequantum well,MQW)结构。而凹陷R的深度与第二型半导体层3330的厚度的比值大于0且小于等于0.4,大于0.4可能会使磊晶结构3300产生缺陷。此处以第二电极3200填满凹陷R为例,凹陷R的开口面积相对于第二型半导体层3330的第二表面3333的一俯视面面积的比值介于0.01至0.5之间,较佳是介于0.01至0.2之间,可兼具电流分布效率以及减少遮光。The thickness of the epitaxial structure 3300 is preferably no more than 6 microns. In particular, the epitaxial structures of the light emitting elements 3000 , 4000 and 5000 may have different thicknesses. For example, the light emitting element 3000 may have a thicker thickness corresponding to the blue sub-pixel to increase the individual light extraction efficiency of the light emitting elements. The doping types of the first-type semiconductor layer 3310 and the second-type semiconductor layer 3330 are different. For example, the first-type semiconductor layer 3310 is, for example, a P-type doped semiconductor layer, and the second-type semiconductor layer 3330 is, for example, an N-type doped semiconductor layer. The light emitting layer 3320 is, for example, a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure. The ratio of the depth of the recess R to the thickness of the second-type semiconductor layer 3330 is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.4, and greater than 0.4 may cause defects in the epitaxial structure 3300 . Here, taking the second electrode 3200 filling the recess R as an example, the ratio of the opening area of the recess R to the area of a plan view of the second surface 3333 of the second-type semiconductor layer 3330 is between 0.01 and 0.5, preferably between 0.01 and 0.5. Between 0.01 and 0.2, both current distribution efficiency and light shading can be reduced.

于一实施例,各发光元件的磊晶结构可以完全相同,也可以彼此相异。举例来说,各发光元件的磊晶结构可以如图7所示的都是柱状。类似地,各发光元件的磊晶结构可以都是梯形或者都是倒梯形。于另一实施例中,像素结构PX中的发光元件的磊晶结构的形状并非完全相同。举例来说,发光元件3000与发光元件5000的磊晶结构为倒梯形,而发光元件4000的磊晶结构为梯形。In one embodiment, the epitaxial structures of the light emitting elements may be completely the same or different from each other. For example, the epitaxial structure of each light emitting element may be columnar as shown in FIG. 7 . Similarly, the epitaxial structures of each light emitting element may be all trapezoidal or all inverted trapezoidal. In another embodiment, the shapes of the epitaxial structures of the light emitting elements in the pixel structure PX are not completely the same. For example, the epitaxial structures of the light emitting device 3000 and the light emitting device 5000 are inverted trapezoidal, while the epitaxial structure of the light emitting device 4000 is trapezoidal.

此处,第一电极连接层2200为多个独立的第一电极连接结构2210。发光元件3000、4000与5000分别通过第一电极3100、4100、5100设置且电性连接于对应的第一电极连接结构2210上。基板2100更包括多个工作电路Tr,第一电极连接结构2210设置且电性连接于对应的工作电路Tr上。工作电路Tr可包括例如开关晶体管、驱动晶体管、电容器及上述的组合。其中每一工作电路Tr各别电性至连接数据驱动电路2121、扫描驱动电路2123以及发光元件3000、4000与5000。于一实施例中,第一电极连接层2200可为一具可反射可见光波长的材料组成,此处第二电极连接层2300例如为选自于金、铜、锡、铟、上述材料的合金及上述材料的组成,但并不以为限。Here, the first electrode connection layer 2200 is a plurality of independent first electrode connection structures 2210 .

The substrate 2100 further includes a plurality of working circuits Tr, and the first electrode connection structure 2210 is disposed and electrically connected to the corresponding working circuits Tr. The working circuit Tr may include, for example, switching transistors, driving transistors, capacitors, and combinations thereof. Each working circuit Tr is electrically connected to the data driving circuit 2121 , the scanning driving circuit 2123 and the light emitting elements 3000 , 4000 and 5000 respectively. In one embodiment, the first electrode connection layer 2200 can be composed of a material that can reflect visible light wavelengths. Here, the second electrode connection layer 2300 is, for example, selected from gold, copper, tin, indium, alloys of the above materials, and Composition of the above materials, but not limited thereto.

第二电极连接层2300设置于发光元件3000、4000与5000的第二电极3200、4200、5200上且通过第二电极3200、4200、5200电性连接发光元件3000、4000与5000,即第二电极连接层2300为多个发光元件3000、4000与5000的共电极。此处,第二电极连接层2300连接至基板2100的非显示区2120的走线(图中未示出)与外部接点(图中未示出)以与控制电路6000电性链接。控制电路6000通过传送信号驱动及控制数据驱动电路2121、扫描驱动电路2123及工作电路Tr,以各别寻址驱动各发光元件3000、4000与5000的出光。于此实施例中,第二电极连接层2300的厚度介于2000埃(angstrom)与10000埃之间,小过2000埃会使共电极电流传导不佳,超过10000埃会使影响出光。于一实施例中,第二电极连接层2300为一半透明或透明材料组成,此处第二电极连接层2300例如为氧化铟锡。可有较佳的出光率,但并不以为限。特别说明的是,于一其他的实施例中,第二电极3200未填满凹陷R,而第二电极连接层2300进一步可设置于凹陷R,并连接第二电极3200。换句话说,第二电极连接层2300与第二电极3200的接触面积增加,可有更好的电流分布效率。The second electrode connection layer 2300 is disposed on the second electrodes 3200, 4200, 5200 of the light-emitting elements 3000, 4000, and 5000 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting elements 3000, 4000, and 5000 through the second electrodes 3200, 4200, and 5200, that is, the second electrodes. The connection layer 2300 is a common electrode of the plurality of light emitting elements 3000 , 4000 and 5000 . Here, the second electrode connection layer 2300 is connected to the traces (not shown in the figure) and external contacts (not shown in the figure) of the non-display area 2120 of the substrate 2100 to be electrically connected with the control circuit 6000 . The control circuit 6000 drives and controls the data driving circuit 2121 , the scan driving circuit 2123 and the working circuit Tr by transmitting signals, and drives the light output of each light emitting element 3000 , 4000 and 5000 with respective addressing. In this embodiment, the thickness of the second electrode connecting layer 2300 is between 2000 angstrom and 10000 angstrom. If the thickness is less than 2000 angstrom, the current conduction of the common electrode will be poor, and if it is more than 10000 angstrom, the light output will be affected.
