For example, the insulating layer INL may be disposed on the insulating layer IL4 of the circuit layer CL, but not limited thereto. The insulating layer INL may include any suitable insulating material. The recess RS of the insulating layer INL may be formed by removing a portion of the insulating layer INL.

In such condition, the insulating layer INL may include an upper surface S1, a lower surface S2 and a first surface S3, wherein the first surface S3 may be the side surface of the insulating layer INL and connect the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2.

Specifically, the portion of the sidewall of the recess RS from the bottom of the recess RS to a point on the sidewall of the recess RS corresponding to 0.95 times the height H4 may be defined as the side surface S5, but not limited thereto. In such condition, the height H1 of the recess RS may be the vertical distance between the bottom (that is, the bottom surface S4) of the recess RS and the top (i.e., corresponding to a position of 0.95 times the height H4) of the recess RS, that is, the height H1 may be 0.95 times the height H4. In the embodiment that the recess RS penetrate through the insulating layer INL, the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS may substantially be coplanar with the lower surface S2 of the insulating layer INL, and the side surface S5 of the recess RS may correspond to the first surface S3 of the insulating layer INL.


It should be noted that in some embodiments, the recess RS may not expose the circuit layer CL, that is, the recess RS may not penetrate through the insulating layer INL. In such condition, the insulating layer INL may further include a second surface (not shown) corresponding to the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS, the first surface S3 may connect the upper surface S1 and the second surface, and the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS may be coplanar with the second surface of the insulating layer INL.

Furthermore, the height H1 of the recess RS may be the distance between the second surface of the recess RS and the top of the recess RS (i.e., corresponding to a position of 0.95 times the height H4) in the direction Z. The definitions of the surfaces of the insulating layer INL and the recess RS in the following embodiments may refer to the contents above, and will not be redundantly described.


According to the present embodiment, after the recess RS is formed in the insulating layer INL, the semiconductor unit SMU may be disposed in the recess RS. Specifically, the semiconductor unit SMU may be disposed in the recess RS through fluid transfer process. The semiconductor unit SMU may include any suitable electronic unit capable of emitting, receiving or adjusting electromagnetic signal according to the type of the electronic device ED. For example, in an embodiment, the electronic device ED may include a display device, and the semiconductor unit SMU may include light emitting unit. The light emitting unit may for example include light emitting diode and may emit electromagnetic signal, but not limited thereto. In such condition, the insulating layer INL may serve as the pixel defining layer (PDL).

The semiconductor unit SMU may be electrically connected to the driving unit DU in the circuit layer CL, such that the semiconductor unit SMU may be driven by the driving unit DU. Specifically, the electronic device ED may further include an insulating layer IL5 and a conductive layer M4, wherein the insulating layer IL5 may be disposed on the insulating layer INL and the semiconductor unit SMU and cover the insulating layer INL and the semiconductor unit SMU, and the conductive layer M4 may be disposed on the insulating layer IL5. The insulating layer IL5 may include vias V1, wherein the vias V1 may at least partially expose the conductive pads BP of the semiconductor unit SMU, and the conductive layer M4 may be disposed in the vias V1 to be electrically connected to the conductive pads BP, such that the semiconductor unit SMU may be electrically connected to the conductive layer M4. In addition, the insulating layer IL5 may further include vias V2, wherein the vias V2 may at least partially expose the connecting elements CT. The conductive layer M4 may be disposed in the vias V2 to be electrically connected to the connecting elements CT. The connecting elements CT may be disposed in the vias V3 of the insulating layer INL and the insulating layer IL4 and extend on the upper surface S1 of the insulating layer INL, wherein the vias V3 may at least partially expose a portion of the driving unit DU (for example, the drain electrode DOE of the driving unit DU, but not limited thereto), such that the connecting elements CT may be electrically connected to the driving units DU. Therefore, the semiconductor unit SMU may be electrically connected to the driving unit DU through the conductive pads BP, the conductive layer M4 and the connecting elements CT. The connecting elements CT may be formed of the conductive layer M5. The conductive layer M5 and the conductive layer M4 may include any suitable conductive material, such as metal materials, but not limited thereto. It should be noted that the electrical connection between the semiconductor unit SMU and the driving unit DU mentioned above is exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The semiconductor unit SMU may be electrically connected to the driving unit DU through any suitable way.


The first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include any suitable material capable of adjusting or filtering electromagnetic signal, such as quantum dot (QD) material, color filter material, fluorescent material, phosphorescent material, liquid crystal material, microlens or other suitable materials, but not limited thereto. The first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be disposed on the semiconductor unit SMU and overlap the semiconductor unit SMU, thereby adjusting or filtering the electromagnetic signal emitted from or received by the semiconductor unit SMU. Specifically, the electronic device ED may include a shielding structure BK disposed on the insulating layer IL5, an opening OP1 may be defined in the shielding structure BK, and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be disposed in the opening OP1. The opening OP1 of the shielding structure BK may overlap the semiconductor unit SMU, such that the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 is overlapped with the semiconductor unit SMU. The shielding structure BK includes any suitable material reducing capable of or blocking the electromagnetic signal passing through the shielding structure BK. For example, the electronic device ED of an embodiment includes a display device, the semiconductor unit SMU includes light emitting unit, and the shielding structure BK may include light shielding materials or light absorbing materials, such as black resin, gray resin, or white resin, but not limited thereto. In such condition, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include the material capable of adjusting the wavelength and/or the color of the electromagnetic signal (that is, light) emitted from the light emitting unit, such as quantum dot material, color filter material, fluorescent material, phosphorescent material or other suitable materials. For example, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include the quantum dot material in the embodiment. In some embodiments, the electronic device ED may include an antenna device, a sensing device or devices of other types, and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include any suitable material capable of adjusting electromagnetic signal according to the use of the electronic device ED.


In addition, in the present embodiment, the edge of the conductive layer M4 may protrude from the edge of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 in a distance D1. The distance D1 may be defined as the distance between the outer edge of the conductive layer M4 and the outer edge of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 in a top view of the electronic device ED, but not limited thereto. According to the present embodiment, the distance D1 may range from 0 micrometer (μm) to 15 μm, but not limited thereto. Since the electronic device ED of the present embodiment may include the display device, the possibility that the user observes light leak when he views the electronic device ED at a large viewing angle may be reduced by making the conductive layer M4 protrude from the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. The design of the distance mentioned above may be applied to the embodiments and variant embodiments of the present disclosure.


In addition to the elements and/or the layers mentioned above, the electronic device ED may further include an insulating layer IL6 disposed between the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and the insulating layer IL5 and an insulating layer IL7 disposed on the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. In some embodiments, when the electronic device ED includes a dual-substrate structure, the insulating layer IL6 may serve as the adhesive layer between the two substrates, and the insulating layer IL7 may serve as the substrate, and the material thereof may refer to the material of the base SB mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described. In some embodiments, when the electronic device ED includes a single-substrate structure, the insulating layer IL6 may serve as the encapsulation layer, and the insulating layer IL7 may serve as the encapsulation layer and/or the optical layer. It should be noted that the structure of the electronic device ED is not limited to what is shown in FIG. 1 and may include other suitable elements and/or layers according to the demands of the design of the product.


As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the disposition position of the semiconductor unit SMU may be biased toward (or closer to) a side of the recess RS, or in other words, the semiconductor unit SMU may be disposed to be offset from the center of the recess RS. The features of disposition way and disposition position of the semiconductor unit SMU of the present disclosure will be detailed in the following.


Referring to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D, FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D schematically illustrate the transferring process of the semiconductor units of the electronic device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present disclosure, the semiconductor units SMU may be transferred to the target substrate through fluid transfer process. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, a dropper DH may be used to drop the liquid LQ containing the semiconductor units SMU on the target substrate, wherein the “target substrate” may indicate the substrate structure SBS and the insulating layer INL having the recesses RS and disposed on the substrate structure SBS. In other words, the target substrate may include the recesses RS. The liquid LQ containing the semiconductor units SMU may be dropped at a side of the target substrate including the recesses RS. FIG. 2A shows the top view structure of the target substrate (that is, including the substrate structure SBS and the insulating layer INL having the recesses RS), and FIG. 2B shows the cross-sectional structure of the structure shown in FIG. 2A along a section line A-A′. It should be noted that in order to simplify the figure, FIG. 2B just exemplarily shows the substrate structure SBS as a single layer, and the detailed structure of the substrate structure SBS may refer to FIG. 1 and the contents mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described.


As shown in FIG. 2B, before the liquid LQ containing the semiconductor units SMU are dropped through the dropper DH, the disposition of some of the conductive lines and/or the wires on the target substrate may be completed at first. Specifically, the substrate structure SBS (including the circuit layer CL, not shown in FIG. 2B) and the insulating layer INL having the recesses RS may be formed at first, and then, the connecting elements CT (that is, the connecting elements CT shown in FIG. 1) penetrating through the insulating layer INL may be formed, wherein the connecting elements CT may be electrically connected to the driving units DU in the circuit layer CL of the substrate structure SBS. The electrical connecting way of the connecting element CT and the driving unit DU may refer to the contents mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described. After the connecting elements CT penetrating through the insulating layer INL are formed, the liquid LQ may be dropped.


After the liquid LQ is dropped, the semiconductor units SMU in the liquid LQ may enter the recesses RS. However, the positions of the semiconductor units SMU in the recesses RS are not fixed, or in other words, the semiconductor units SMU may be distributed randomly. According to the present disclosure, after the liquid LQ is dropped, a pressing module PM may move along a direction parallel to the surface of the target substrate and pressurize the semiconductor units SMU. For example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the pressing module PM may move toward the direction X and pressurize the semiconductor units SMU, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the pressing module PM may move toward the direction Y and pressurize the semiconductor units SMU. When the pressing module PM pressurizes the semiconductor units SMU toward a direction parallel to the surface of the target substrate, the semiconductor units SMU may move toward the direction, thereby being biased toward (or closer to) the sides of the recesses RS. Therefore, the semiconductor units SMU may be disposed in specific region or at specific position in the recesses RS, or in other words, the disposition positions of the semiconductor units SMU in the recesses RS may be in order. For example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the two semiconductor units SMU located at the left side of the pressing module PM have been moved to the right sides of the recesses RS due to being affected by the pressing module PM, and the semiconductor unit SMU located at the right side of the pressing module PM has not been affected by the pressing module PM to be moved to the right side of the recess RS.


In the present embodiment, the recess RS may have any suitable shape to help the disposition of the semiconductor units SMU at specific region or specific position in the recesses RS, but not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, in the top view of the substrate structure SBS, the right side of the recess RS may have a protruded shape, and therefore, it is easily to make the semiconductor unit SMU located at the right side of the recess RS after the semiconductor unit SMU is affected by the pressing module PM and moves toward right (for example, the semiconductor unit SMU may be limited through the recess RS having the shape described above), but not limited thereto.


Referring to FIG. 1 as well, in the present embodiment, the height of the semiconductor unit SMU may be greater than the height of the insulating layer INL, that is, the semiconductor unit SMU may be protruded from the insulating layer INL. The height difference between the semiconductor unit SMU and the insulating layer INL may be the height H3, wherein the height H3 may be defined as the distance between the upper surface S8 of the semiconductor unit SMU and the upper surface S1 of the insulating layer INL, but not limited thereto. According to the present embodiment, the height difference between the semiconductor unit SMU and the insulating layer INL (that is, the height H3) may be at least half of the height H4 of the insulating layer INL. In other words, the height H3 and the height H4 may satisfy the relation of H3≥0.5*H4. Through the above-mentioned design, the possibility that the semiconductor units SMU are not pushed by the pressing module PM may be reduced.


After that, as shown in FIG. 2D, the pressing module PM may move toward the surface of the target substrate (that is, toward the direction −Z) to pressurize the semiconductor units SMU, such that the semiconductor units SMU may be pressed downward into the substrate structure SBS, thereby finishing the transferring process of the semiconductor units SMU. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2D, after the semiconductor units SMU are pressurized through the pressing module PM, the semiconductor units SMU may sink into the substrate structure SBS or the insulating layer IL4 of the circuit layer CL, but not limited thereto. Therefore, the possibility that the semiconductor units SMU are moved due to being affected by other external force in the subsequent processes may be reduced. According to the present embodiment, the portion of the semiconductor unit SMU sinking or embedded into the substrate structure SBS may have a depth H2, wherein the depth H2 may range from 0.01 micrometers (μm) to 3 μm, but not limited thereto. The depth H2 may represent the sinking depth of the semiconductor unit SMU.


Through the above-mentioned processes, the semiconductor units SMU may be located at a same region or a same position in the recesses RS, such that the condition that the semiconductor units SMU are distributed randomly may be reduced. Therefore, the performance of the electronic device ED may be improved. For example, the electronic device ED in an embodiment may include a display device, and the semiconductor units SMU may include light emitting units, but not limited thereto. In such condition, the light emitting units in the electronic device ED may be distributed uniformly, and the condition that the display effect of the electronic device ED are effected due to uneven brightness may be reduced.


Referring to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3F, FIG. 3A to FIG. 3F schematically illustrate the manufacturing process of the electronic device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3A, after the transferring process of the semiconductor units SMU mentioned above are completed, the insulating layer IL5 may be disposed on the insulating layer INL and the semiconductor units SMU. After that, the insulating layer IL5 may be patterned to form the vias V1 and the vias V2. After that, as shown in FIG. 3B, the patterned conductive layer M4 may be formed on the insulating layer IL5, wherein the conductive layer M4 may include a plurality of conductive elements respectively be disposed in the vias V1 and the vias V2 to be electrically connected to the semiconductor units SMU and the connecting elements CT. According to the present disclosure, since the semiconductor units SMU may substantially be disposed at a same region or a same position in different recesses RS, the poor bonding between the conductive pads BP and the conductive layer M4 may be reduced under the design of fixed-position bonding. Specifically, when the semiconductor units SMU are disposed randomly, the design of fixing the position of the conductive layer M4 will cause some semiconductor units SMU to be unable to be electrically connected to the conductive layer M4, or the bonding between the semiconductor unit SMU and the conductive layer M4 may be poor. However, since the semiconductor units SMU may be disposed orderly at a specific region or a specific position in the recesses RS in the present disclosure, the bonding positions between the conductive pads BP and the conductive layer M4 may be fixed, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and/or improving the yield of the electronic device ED.


After that, as shown in FIG. 3C, the insulating layer IL6 may be disposed on the conductive layer M4, wherein the insulating layer IL6 may cover the conductive layer M4. After that, as shown in FIG. 3D, the shielding structure BK may be disposed on the insulating layer IL6, wherein the shielding structure BK may include the openings OP1. Specifically, an entire layer of the shielding structure BK may be formed on the insulating layer IL6 at first, and a portion of the shielding structure BK may be removed through a patterning process to form the openings OP1. In the top view direction of the substrate structure SBS, the shielding structure BK may not be overlapped with the semiconductor units SMU, and the openings OP1 may be overlapped with the semiconductor units SMU. For example, the size of the opening OP1 may be greater than the size of the semiconductor unit SMU, but not limited thereto. After that, as shown in FIG. 3E, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting units AU1 may be disposed on the insulating layer IL6, wherein the first electromagnetic signal adjusting units AU1 may be disposed in the openings OP1 of the shielding structure BK and be overlapped with the semiconductor units SMU. After that, as shown in FIG. 3F, the insulating layer IL7 may be disposed on the shielding structure BK and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting units AU1, thereby forming the electronic device ED.


It should be noted that the manufacturing process of the electronic device ED mentioned above is exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the shielding structure BK and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting units AU1 may be formed on the insulating layer IL7 to form an adjusting unit structure in other processes, and the adjusting unit structure may be adhered to the structure shown in FIG. 3B or FIG. 3C through the insulating layer IL6 to form the electronic device ED.

One of the main differences between the electronic device ED shown in FIG. 3G and FIG. 3H and the electronic device ED shown in FIG. 1 is the electrical connecting way between the conductive layer M4 and the semiconductor unit SMU. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3G, the conductive layer M4 of the electronic device ED may be disposed in the vias V1 and be electrically connected to the conductive pads BP, wherein the conductive layer M4 may contact a portion of the upper surface S6 of the conductive pad BP and the side surface S7 of the conductive pads BP. In other words, compared with the structure shown in FIG. 1, the structure shown in FIG. 3G may have a narrow-wire design, or the width of the via V1 shown in FIG. 3G may be less than the width of the via V1 shown in FIG. 1. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3H, the conductive layer M4 of the electronic device ED may be disposed in the vias V1 and be electrically connected to the conductive pads BP, wherein the conductive layer M4 may contact the upper surface S6 of the conductive pad BP and two opposite side surfaces S7 of the conductive pad BP. In other words, compared with the structure shown in FIG. 1, the structure shown in FIG. 3H may have a wide-wire design, or the width of the via V1 shown in FIG. 3H may be greater than the width of the via V1 shown in FIG. 1. The design of the wire mentioned above may be applied to each of the embodiments and variant embodiments of the present disclosure, and will not be redundantly described.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, after the shape of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 is confirmed, the minimum virtual rectangle VR surrounding the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be drawn at first, and then, two diagonals of the minimum virtual rectangle VR may be drawn, wherein the intersection of the two diagonals may be defined as the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. The first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include any suitable shape in the top view thereof, according to the design of the product.

Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 shows examples of the recess and the semiconductor unit of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 shows the definitions of the defined centers of the recesses RS in the top view thereof and the defined centers of the semiconductor units SMU in the top view thereof. The definitions of the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU may be similar to the definition of the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. In detail, as shown in example (I), in the top view of the recess RS, after the shape of the recess RS is confirmed, a minimum virtual rectangle VR1 surrounding the recess RS may be drawn, and the intersection of the two diagonals of the minimum virtual rectangle VR1 may be defined as the defined center WP of the recess RS. The defined centers WP of the recesses RS shown in example (II) to example (IX) may be defined in the same way, and will not be redundantly described. In addition, as shown in example (II), in the top view of the semiconductor unit SMU, after the shape of the semiconductor unit SMU is confirmed, a minimum virtual rectangle VR2 surrounding the semiconductor unit SMU may be drawn, and the intersection of the two diagonals of the minimum virtual rectangle VR2 may be defined as the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU. The defined centers LP of the semiconductor units SMU shown in example (I) and example (III) to example (IX) may be defined in the same way, and will not be redundantly described. The semiconductor unit SMU may include any suitable shape in the top view thereof, such as circle, rectangle or other suitable shape. For example, in example (I) to example (V), the semiconductor units SMU may be circular in top views thereof, and in example (VI) to example (IX), the semiconductor units SMU may be rectangular in top views thereof, but not limited thereto. The recess RS may have any suitable shape capable of containing the semiconductor unit SMU or facilitating the disposition of the semiconductor unit SMU at one side of the recess RS in the top view of the recess RS. Example (I) to example (IX) shows examples of the top view structure of the recess RS, such that the semiconductor unit SMU may be disposed at one side of the recess RS, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


Since the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 is disposed on the recess RS and the semiconductor unit SMU, in order to define the defined center QP, the defined center WP and the defined center LP, a laser machine (or other suitable machines) may be used to make welding points at the edge of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, for example, at least four welding points may be made at the edge of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, but not limited thereto. After that, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be peeled to expose the recess RS and the semiconductor unit SMU. After that, the minimum virtual rectangle surrounding the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be drawn by an optical microscope through the previously left welding points of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, thereby finding the defined center QP. At the same time, the minimum virtual rectangles respectively surrounding the recess RS and the semiconductor unit SMU may be drawn to find the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU. Therefore, the defined center QP, the defined center WP and the defined center LP may be defined. It should be noted that the defining method mentioned above is exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In an embodiment, the electronic device ED may include a display device, the semiconductor unit SMU may include a light emitting unit, and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include a light adjusting unit. In such condition, the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU may be the defined center of the light emitting unit, and the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be the defined center of the light adjusting unit, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the semiconductor unit SMU and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may respectively include other suitable elements according to the type of the electronic device ED, and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU and the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be regarded as the defined centers of those elements.


Return to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the defined centers of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, the recess RS and the semiconductor unit SMU may be defined in the cross-sectional view of the electronic device ED. Specifically, in the cross-sectional view of the electronic device ED, the midpoint of the upper surface S9 of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be defined as the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, and the midpoint of the upper surface S10 of the recess RS may be defined as the defined center WP of the recess RS, but not limited thereto. In addition, in the cross-sectional view of the electronic device ED, the midpoint of one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the semiconductor unit SMU having a lower area may be defined as the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU. For example, the midpoint of the upper surface S8 of the semiconductor unit SMU shown in FIG. 1 may be defined as the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU. It should be noted that the definition mentioned above is exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


The relation between the positions of the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU and the defined center WP of the recess RS will be detailed in the following by taking the display device as an example of the electronic device ED. In such condition, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include the light adjusting unit QD, and the semiconductor unit SMU may include the light emitting unit LU. It should be noted that the electronic device ED is not limited to the display device and may include any suitable device in other embodiments, such as an antenna device, a sensing device, and the like.


Referring to FIG. 6A, FIG. 6A schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present embodiment, the disposition position of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 (that is, the light adjusting unit QD) may be determined by considering the semiconductor unit SMU (that is, the light emitting unit LU) as the main light emitting source. Since the light emitting unit LU is regarded as the main light emitting source, in the top view of the electronic device ED, the light adjusting unit QD may cover the light emitting unit LU, or the light adjusting unit QD may overlap the light emitting unit LU, such that the light emitted from the light emitting unit LU may pass through the light adjusting unit QD. Therefore, the light adjusting unit QD may receive the light emitted from the light emitting unit LU uniformly, thereby improving the display effect of the electronic device ED.


Therefore, in the present second embodiment, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be disposed on the semiconductor unit SMU, such that the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be corresponding to or adjacent to the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, since the semiconductor unit SMU may be disposed at one side of the recess RS, or the semiconductor unit SMU may be disposed to be offset from the defined center WP of the recess RS, a distance L1 may be between the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU and the defined center WP of the recess RS in the top view of the electronic device ED, wherein the distance L1 may be greater than 0 micrometer. A circular region RG may be drawn by taking the defined center LP as the center of a circle and the distance L1 as the radius of the circle, wherein the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located at any position in the circular region RG. In other words, the disposition position of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be designed, such that the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 is located in the circular region RG. In such condition, a distance L2 may be between the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU in the top view of the electronic device ED, wherein the distance L2 may be greater than or equal to 0 micrometer and less than or equal to the distance L1. In some other embodiments of the second embodiment, the distance L2 may be 0 micrometer, that is, the defined center QP may coincide with the defined center LP. Through the above-mentioned design, the area of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlapped with the semiconductor unit SMU or the proportion of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlapped with the semiconductor unit SMU may increase under the condition that the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlaps the semiconductor unit SMU, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency of the electronic device ED or reducing the size of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. “The size of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1” mentioned above may be the area of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, but not limited thereto.


In the present second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located between the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU and the defined center WP of the recess RS, but not limited thereto. In such condition, a distance L3 may be between the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and the defined center WP of the recess RS, wherein the distance L3 may be greater than 0 micrometer and less than or equal to the distance L1. Therefore, the light emitting efficiency of the electronic device ED may be improved.


In addition, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the top view of the electronic device ED, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may cover the recess RS, or in other words, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may overlap the recess RS, but the present second embodiment is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments of the second embodiment, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may partially cover the recess RS. In such condition, the size of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be reduced.


Referring to FIG. 6B, FIG. 6B schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to a variant embodiment of the second embodiment of the present disclosure. The defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 of the present variant embodiment may be located in any position in the circular region RG. In the present variant embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located at a side of the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU opposite to the defined center WP of the recess RS, that is, the defined center LP may be located between the defined center WP and the defined center QP. Since the distance L2 is less than or equal to the distance L1, the defined center QP may be closer to the defined center LP compared with the defined center WP, but not limited thereto. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, in the top view of the electronic device ED, a portion of the recess RS may overlap the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 (or the light adjusting unit QD), or in other words, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may cover a portion of the recess RS, but the present variant embodiment is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may completely cover the recess RS.


Referring to FIG. 6C, FIG. 6C schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to another variant embodiment of the second embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6C, in the top view of the electronic device ED, a first reference line RL1 may pass through the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU, and a second reference line RL2 may pass through the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU, wherein an acute angle θ1 may be included between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2. Specifically, the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 may be defined according to the positions of the defined center WP, the defined center LP and the defined center QP, and the acute angle among the included angles between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 is the acute angle θ1. According to the present variant embodiment, the acute angle θ1 may be greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 45 degrees (that is, 0°≤θ1≤45°). When the acute angle θ1 is 0 degree, the defined center QP may be on the same straight line as the defined center WP and the defined center LP, and the defined center QP may be located between the defined center WP and the defined center LP (as shown in FIG. 6A) or located at a side of the defined center LP opposite to the defined center WP (as shown in FIG. 6B). For example, FIG. 6B shows the condition that the acute angle θ1 between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 is 0 degree. When the acute angle θ1 is greater than 0 degree, the defined center QP is not located on the first reference line RL1. According to the range of the acute angle θ1 mentioned above, the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 of the present variant embodiment may be located in a region RG′, wherein the region RG′ may be defined by the circular region RG and two reference lines which pass through the defined center LP and respectively have the acute angle θ1 of 45 degrees (the maximum of the acute angle θ1) with the first reference line RL1. The definition of the circular region RG may refer to the contents mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described. For example, when the acute angle θ1 shown in FIG. 6C is 45 degrees, the two reference lines passing through the defined center LP and respectively having the acute angle θ1 of 45 degrees with the first reference line RL1 may be the second reference line RL2 and the second reference line RL2′ shown in FIG. 6C, and the region RG′ may include the region enclosed by the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 in the circular region RG and the region enclosed by the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2′ in the circular region RG. In other words, in the present variant embodiment, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be disposed on the semiconductor unit SMU, such that the defined center QP may be located in the region RG′.


In some other embodiments of the second embodiment, the acute angle θ1 between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 may be greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 25 degrees (that is, 0°≤θ1≤25°). In such condition, the region RG′ may be defined by the circular region RG and the two reference lines which respectively have the acute angle θ1 of 25 degrees with the first reference line RL1, and the defined center QP may be located in the region RG′. By making the acute angle θ1 located in the above-mentioned region, the area of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlapped with the semiconductor unit SMU or the proportion of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlapped with the semiconductor unit SMU may increase under the condition that the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlaps the semiconductor unit SMU, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency of the electronic device ED or reducing the size of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1.


Referring to FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, FIG. 7A schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 7B schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to a variant embodiment of the third embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present third embodiment, the disposition position of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 (that is, the light adjusting unit QD) may be determined by considering the recess RS as the main light emitting source. Since the recess RS is considered as the main light emitting source, in the top view of the electronic device ED, the light adjusting unit QD may cover the recess RS, or the light adjusting unit QD may overlap the recess RS, such that the light adjusting unit QD may receive the light emitted from the recess RS uniformly.


According to the above-mentioned condition, in the present third embodiment, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be disposed on the semiconductor unit SMU, such that the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may correspond to or be adjacent to the defined center WP of the recess RS. Specifically, in the top view of the electronic device ED, a distance L1 may be between the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU and the defined center WP of the recess RS. As shown in FIG. 7A, a circular region RG may be drawn by taking the defined center WP as the center of a circle and the distance L1 as the radius of the circle, wherein the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located at any position in the circular region RG. In other words, the disposition position of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be designed, such that the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 is located in the circular region RG. In such condition, a distance L4 may be between the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and the defined center WP of the recess RS in the top view of the electronic device ED, wherein the distance L4 may be greater than or equal to 0 micrometer and less than or equal to the distance L1. In some other embodiments of the third embodiment, the distance L4 may be 0 micrometer, that is, the defined center QP may coincide with the defined center WP. In the present third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7A, the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located at a side of the defined center WP of the recess RS opposite to the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU, that is, the defined center WP may be located between the defined center QP and the defined center LP, but not limited thereto. In some other embodiments of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located between the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU. Through the above-mentioned design, the area of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlapped with the recess RS or the proportion of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlapped with the recess RS may increase under the condition that the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 overlaps the recess RS, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency of the electronic device ED. In addition, since the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may overlap the recess RS, and the semiconductor unit SMU is disposed in the recess RS, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may overlap the semiconductor unit SMU.


Referring to FIG. 7C, FIG. 7C schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to another variant embodiment of the third embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7C, in the top view of the electronic device ED, the first reference line RL1 may pass through the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU, and the second reference line RL2 may pass through the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, wherein the acute angle θ1 may be included between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2. According to the present variant embodiment, the acute angle θ1 may be greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 50 degrees (that is, 0°≤θ1≤50°). When the acute angle θ1 is 0 degree, the defined center QP may be located on the same straight light as the defined center WP and the defined center LP, and the defined center QP may be located between the defined center WP and the defined center LP (as shown in FIG. 7B) or located at a side of the defined center WP opposite to the defined center LP (as shown in FIG. 7A). For example, FIG. 7B shows the condition that the acute angle θ1 between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 is 0 degree. When the acute angle θ1 is greater than 0 degree, the defined center QP is not located on the straight line (that is, the first reference line RL1) connecting the defined center WP and the defined center LP. According to the above-mentioned range of the acute angle θ1, the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be located in the region RG′, wherein the region RG′ may be defined by the circular region RG and the two reference lines which pass through the defined center WP and respectively have the acute angle θ1 of 50 degrees (that is, the maximum of the acute angle θ1) with the first reference line RL1. The definition of the circular region RG may refer to the content mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described. For example, when the acute angle θ1 shown in FIG. 7C is 50 degrees, the two reference lines passing through the defined center WP and respectively having the acute angle θ1 of 50 degrees with the first reference line RL1 may be the second reference line RL2 and the second reference line RL2′ shown in FIG. 7C, and the region RG′ may include the region enclosed by the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 in the circular region RG and the region enclosed by the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2′ in the circular region RG. In other words, in the present variant embodiment, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be disposed on the semiconductor unit SMU, such that the defined center QP may be located in the region RG′.


In other embodiments of the third embodiment, the acute angle θ1 between the first reference line RL1 and the second reference line RL2 may be greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 30 degrees (that is, 0°≤θ1≤30°). In such condition, the region RG′ may be defined by the circular region RG and the two reference lines which pass through the defined center LP and respectively have the acute angle θ1 of 30 degrees with the first reference line RL1, and the defined center QP may be located in the region RG′.


It should be noted that the relation between the positions of the defined center WP, the defined center LP and the defined center QP mentioned above is not limited to the condition that the electronic device ED includes the display device and may be applied to various kinds of the electronic device ED. Specifically, the electronic device ED may include any suitable element serving as the semiconductor unit SMU and the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 according to the use or type of the electronic device ED, and the relation between the positions of the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU, the defined center WP of the recess RS and the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may refer to the contents in the above-mentioned embodiments and variant embodiments.


Referring to FIG. 8A, FIG. 8A schematically illustrates a top view of an electronic device according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device of the present fourth embodiment may be the display device. Similar to the embodiments shown in FIG. 7A to FIG. 7C, the disposition position of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 (that is, the light adjusting unit QD) of the present fourth embodiment may be determined under the condition that the recess RS is regarded as the main light emitting source, but not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, the electronic device ED may further include an electromagnetic signal reflector RE, wherein the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed in the recess RS. The electromagnetic signal reflector RE may include any suitable material capable of reflecting electromagnetic signal, according to the type of the element included in the semiconductor unit SMU. For example, the semiconductor unit SMU of the electronic device ED of the present embodiment may include the light emitting unit LU, and the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may include the materials capable of reflecting light, but not limited thereto. In such condition, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may include metal materials of high reflectivity, such as copper, aluminum, silver, and the like, but not limited thereto. By disposing the electromagnetic signal reflector RE in the recess RS, the overall light emission amount of the recess RS may be improved. The feature of other layers and/or elements of the electronic device ED may refer to the contents mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described.


According to the present embodiment, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed at a side of the recess RS away from the semiconductor unit SMU. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the top view of the electronic device ED, the edge of the recess RS may have a point A1 and a point A2, wherein the point A1 and the point A2 may be the two points on the portion of the edge of the recess RS contacting or adjacent to the semiconductor unit SMU which can be connected to each other to form the line segment with the maximum length. In other words, a portion of the edge of the recess RS contacting or adjacent to the semiconductor unit SMU may be confirmed at first, and the two points on the portion of the edge of the recess RS which can be connected to each other to form the line segment with the maximum length may respectively be defined as the point A1 and the point A2. In some embodiments, the point A1 and the point A2 may be located at the turning points of the outline of the recess RS where the edge is not smooth or where the shape thereof begins to change, but not limited thereto. After the point P1 and the point P2 are determined, the straight line LI connecting the point A1 and the point A2 may be defined. In the top view of the electronic device ED, the straight line LI may divide the recess RS into a first area FA and a second area SA, wherein the first area FA may include the area further away from the semiconductor unit SMU, and the second area SA may be closer to the semiconductor unit SMU. According to the present embodiment, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed in the first area FA of the recess RS, but not limited thereto. “The electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed in the first area FA of the recess RS” mentioned above may represent that the electromagnetic signal reflector RE is disposed on the first surface (that is, the first surface S3 shown in FIG. 1) of the insulating layer INL corresponding to the recess RS in the first area FA and/or the bottom surface S4 (or the upper surface of the insulating layer IL4 shown in FIG. 1) of the recess RS in the first area FA, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, depending on the process conditions, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may partially be disposed in the second area SA of the recess RS. By making the electromagnetic signal reflector RE disposed in the recess RS, the light output of the first area FA of the recess RS may be improved, thereby improving the display effect of the electronic device ED. In addition, since the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may not be disposed in the second area SA of the recess RS, the production cost of the electronic device ED may be reduced.


Referring to FIG. 8B, FIG. 8B schematically illustrates a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to a variant embodiment of the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present variant embodiment, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed on the side surface S5 of the recess RS and contact the first surface S3 of the insulating layer INL. In such condition, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed to surround the semiconductor unit SMU. Therefore, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may reflect the light emitted from the semiconductor unit SMU (that is, the light emitting unit LU), thereby increasing the light output of the electronic device ED. In some embodiments, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE disposed on the side surface S5 may extend to be on the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS and on the upper surface S1 of the insulating layer INL, but not limited thereto.


In some embodiments, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed at a side of the recess RS away from the semiconductor unit SMU, but not at the other side of the recess RS adjacent to the semiconductor unit SMU, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A. In such condition, the electronic device ED may not include the electromagnetic signal reflector RE located at the right side of the recess RS which is shown in FIG. 8B.


Referring to FIG. 8C, FIG. 8C schematically illustrates a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to another variant embodiment of the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present variant embodiment, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed on the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS. Specifically, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed on the portion of the bottom surface S4 not overlapped with the semiconductor unit SMU. The electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed at a side of the recess RS away from the semiconductor unit SMU. For example, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed on the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS in the first area FA (as shown in FIG. 8A), but not limited thereto. By disposing the electromagnetic signal reflector RE on the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may reflect the light emitted downward from the semiconductor unit SMU, thereby increasing the light output of the electronic device ED. In some embodiments, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may further be disposed to surround the side surface S5 of the recess RS (corresponding to the first surface S3 of the insulating layer INL) in addition to being disposed on the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS, as shown in FIG. 8B.

In such condition, the conductive pads BP of the semiconductor unit SMU may be located on the substrate structure SBS and be electrically structure the connected to the substrate SBS. Therefore, semiconductor unit SMU may directly be electrically connected to the driving unit DU through the conductive pads BP. In other words, compared with the electronic devices ED above, the electronic device ED shown in FIG. 9 may not include the conductive layer M4 and the connecting element CT that penetrate the insulating layer INL, but not limited thereto. The electronic device ED of the present embodiment may further include the electromagnetic signal reflector RE, wherein the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may be disposed on the bottom surface S4 of the recess RS. Therefore, the electromagnetic signal reflector RE may reflect the light emitted downward from the semiconductor unit SMU, thereby increasing the light output of the electronic device ED.


Referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 10 schematically illustrates a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present embodiment, the electronic device ED may further include a second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 disposed on the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the electronic device ED may further include an insulating layer IL8 and a shielding structure BK1 disposed on the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, wherein the shielding structure BK1 may define the opening OP2, and the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be disposed in the opening OP2. The first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may include any suitable element capable of adjusting electromagnetic signal according to the use or type of the electronic device ED. For example, the electronic device ED of the present embodiment may include the display device, the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may include quantum dot material, and the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may include color filter material, but not limited thereto. In such condition, the shielding structure BK1 may for example include black matrix (BM).


As shown in FIG. 10, as mentioned above, the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may have a defined center QP2. In the top view of the electronic device ED, the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be the center (not shown) of the minimum virtual rectangle that surrounds the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2, but not limited thereto. In the cross-sectional view of the electronic device ED, the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may for example be the midpoint of the upper surface S11 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2. The definition of the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may refer to the contents above, and will not be redundantly described. According to the present embodiment, the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be disposed on the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, such that the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be corresponding to or adjacent to the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, a distance L5 may be between the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 and the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, wherein the distance L5 may be greater than or equal to 0 micrometer and less than or equal to 15 micrometers, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the distance L5 may be greater than or equal to 0 micrometer and less than or equal to 7 micrometers. For example, when the distance L5 is 0 micrometer, the defined center QP2 may overlap the defined center QP in the top view of the electronic device ED, and the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may correspond to the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. Through the above-mentioned design, the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may substantially match the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, such that the light converted by the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 (including quantum dot material) may pass through the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 (including color filter material), and the portion of the light not converted by the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 may be filtered out by the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2. In addition, the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be used to reduce interference of ambient light on the electronic device ED. In the present embodiment, the size of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be greater than or equal to the size of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1. For example, in the top view of the electronic device ED, the area of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may be greater than or equal to the area of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, but not limited thereto.


Since the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 may substantially correspond to the defined center QP of the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1, when the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and/or the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 is disposed under the condition that the semiconductor unit SMU (that is, the light emitting unit LU) is regarded as the main light emitting source, the distance between the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 and the defined center LP of the semiconductor unit SMU may substantially be equal to the distance L2 between the defined center QP and the defined center LP above; and when the first electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU1 and/or the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 is disposed under the condition that the recess RS is regarded as the main light emitting source, the distance between the defined center QP2 of the second electromagnetic signal adjusting unit AU2 and the defined center WP of the recess RS may substantially be equal to the distance L4 between the defined center QP and the defined center WP above. Therefore, the relation between the positions of the defined center QP2, the defined center LP and the defined center WP may refer to the contents mentioned above, and will not be redundantly described.
