The display panel 100A of the embodiment includes a hybrid bonding structure 110, a first redistribution structure 120, a second redistribution structure 130, multiple light emitting chips 140, and multiple driving chips 150. The first redistribution structure 120 and the second redistribution structure 130 are respectively located on opposite sides of the hybrid bonding structure 110, and the first redistribution structure 120 is electrically connected to the second redistribution structure 130 through the hybrid bonding structure 110.

In some embodiments, in addition to being electrically connected to the first light emitting chips 140a, the first driving chip 150a may also be electrically connected the second light emitting chips 140b through the first redistribution structure 120, the hybrid bonding structure 110, and the second redistribution structure 130, and in addition to being electrically connected to the second light emitting chips 140b, the second driving chip 150b may also be electrically connected to the first light emitting chips 140a through the first redistribution structure 120, the hybrid bonding structure 110, and the second redistribution structure 130. In other embodiments, one of the first driving chip 150a and the second driving chip 150b may be omitted. In other words, the display panel 100A may only have the first driving chip 150a or the second driving chip 150b to control the first light emitting chips 140a and the second light emitting chips 140b. As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the display panel 100A including the first light emitting chips 140a and the second light emitting chips 140b has a double-sided display function.
In some embodiments, the hybrid bonding structure 110 includes a first dielectric layer 112, multiple first conductors 114 embedded in the first dielectric layer 112, a second dielectric layer 116, and multiple second conductors 118 embedded in the second dielectric layer 116, wherein the second dielectric layer 116 is bonded with the first dielectric layer 112, the second conductors 118 are bonded with the first conductors 114, and a bonding interface 110a between the second conductors 118 and the first conductors 114 is a bonding interface containing silver. For example, the main materials of the second conductors 118 and the first conductors 114 include copper or other suitable conductive materials, the materials of the first dielectric layer 112 and the second dielectric layer 116 include silicon dioxide or other suitable dielectric materials, and the bonding interface 110a located between the second conductors 118 and the first conductors 114 includes a copper-silver alloy bonding interface. The presence of silver metal not only does not affect the bonding between the first dielectric layer 112 and the second dielectric layer 116, but also facilitates the bonding between the second conductors 118 and the first conductors 114, which are both made of copper metal materials. Based on the above, a copper-silver alloy produced during the bonding process of the second conductors 118 and the first conductors 114 facilitates the improvement of the bonding stability between the second conductors 118 and the first conductors 114.
In the embodiment, the elongation of the first dielectric layer 112 of the hybrid bonding structure 110 is approximately between 10% and 85%, the Young's modulus of the first dielectric layer 112 of the hybrid bonding structure 110 is approximately between 2.5% and 3.2%, and the tensile strength of the first dielectric layer 112 of the hybrid bonding structure 110 is greater than 110 MPa.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 16, the manufacturing of a lower half portion of the display panel 100A includes the following steps. First, the first light emitting chips 140a and the first driving chip 150a are placed on a carrier.

Considering that the first light emitting chips 140a and the first driving chip 150a are placed before the first redistribution structure 120 is manufactured, the embodiment may ensure that the first redistribution structure 120 can be correctly electrically connected to the first light emitting chips 140a and the first driving chip 150a using dynamic die shift correction (DDC) technology. For example, in the case where the minimum line width of a line is 2 μm, the shift of the line can be less than 50 μm and the shift of a rotational angle can be less than 0.3 degrees through the shift correction technology.
In the embodiment, the manufacturing of an upper half portion of the display panel 100A includes the following steps.

After that, a second bonding structure is formed on the second redistribution structure 130, and the second bonding structure includes the second dielectric layer 116 and the second conductors 118 penetrating the second dielectric layer 116, wherein surfaces of the second conductors 114 may be plated with another silver metal layer 115b. Considering that the second light emitting chips 140b and the second driving chip 150b are placed before the second redistribution structure 130 is manufactured, the embodiment may ensure that the second redistribution structure 130 can be correctly electrically connected to the second light emitting chips 140b and the second driving chip 150b using the dynamic die shift correction technology.
As shown in FIG. 16, the silver metal layer 115a respectively has different average thicknesses in different regions (that is, a region 1, a region 2, a region 3, and a region 4), wherein the region 1, the region 2, the region 3, and the region 4 are defined by lateral distances from a center of the first conductor 114, wherein a lateral size of the first conductor 114 is A, the region 1 refers to a region where the lateral distance from the center of the first conductor 114 is between 0 and 0.5A, the region 2 refers to a region where the lateral distance from the center of the first conductor 114 is between 0.5A and 0.75A, the region 3 refers to a region where the lateral distance from the center of the first conductor 114 is between 0.75A and 1A, and the region 4 refers to a region where the lateral distance from the center of the first conductor 114 is greater than 1A.

In addition, after the lower half portion and the upper half portion of the display panel 100A are bonded with each other, the total thickness of the silver metal layer 115a and the silver metal layer 115b changes.
