BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
The present disclosure relates to a display element and a manufacturing method of a display element.
Description of Related Art
As the rapid progress of electrical technology, display devices have been widely applied in the life of people, such as cellphones and computers. In these products, the unit area of a light-emitting element becomes smaller and smaller as the resolution improves. Generally, a light-emitting element can be divided into two areas, a control circuit area and a light-emitting area. Since the control circuit area doesn't emit light, if the control circuit area is disposed beside the light-emitting area, the effective light-emitting area will decrease, which will cause a difficulty to have both resolution and brightness.
A general solution of the above problem is to separately manufacture the control circuit area and the light-emitting area first, and then stack the control circuit on the light-emitting structure through transferring and bonding to solve the insufficiency of resolution. However, the technology of transferring and bonding needs to consider the bonding strength between two components and the yield of the process. The solution mentioned above is feasible but not complete.
