As shown in the figure, the light-emitting diode display device 1 includes a substrate 10 carrying electronic components (for example, the light-emitting units mentioned below) thereon. In some embodiments, the substrate 10 may be a printed circuit board (PCB), thin film transistor glass (TFT glass), complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) substrate, or other suitable substrates for carrying electronic components, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the light-emitting diode display device 1 further includes a light-emitting component 11. The light-emitting component 11 includes a plurality of green units 11g, a plurality of red units 11r, a plurality of blue units 11b, and a plurality of cyan units 11c, and the aforementioned light-emitting units are periodically arranged on the substrate 10 (the details will be explained below). In some embodiments, the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c have the same size. For example, the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c may have the same length, width, and thickness, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c may have the same length and width (i.e., the same top view area) but have different thicknesses. The color gamut of the light-emitting diode display device may be improved by disposing the cyan units 11c in the light-emitting diode display device 1.

As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the light emitting units may include the same type of light emitting chips (for example, the same color) and different color conversion layers corresponding to the color of the light emitting units respectively, thereby achieving the same effect as described above. For example, each of the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c in FIG. 3 may include the ultraviolet LED chips 110uv and respectively include the green conversion layer 111g, the red conversion layer 111r, the blue conversion layer 111b, and the cyan conversion layer 111c disposed on the ultraviolet LED chips 110uv. The present disclosure may also use blue LED chips or LED chips of other colors (wavelengths) according to the requirements and is not limited to the above ultraviolet LED chips. The quantity of LED chips may be simplified by using LED chips of the same type.
In some embodiments, the materials of the LED chips may include inorganic semiconductor materials, such as III-V compounds, II-VI compounds, or other suitable materials for forming LED chips, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, each of the color conversion layers may include materials such as phosphor and quantum dots, so as to convert a color light emitted by each LED chip into a specific color light. For example, the cyan conversion layer 111c may include BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12: Ce3+/Bi3+ which can convert the blue visible light emitted from a blue LED chip into the cyan visible light. For example, the cyan conversion layer 111c may include Ca4-2xLixCexSi2O7F2, Ca2LuHf2Al3O12:Ce3+, or a combination thereof which can convert the ultraviolet emitted from an ultraviolet LED chip into the cyan visible light. For example, the red conversion layer 111r or the green conversion layer 111g may include CdSe which can convert the ultraviolet emitted from an ultraviolet LED chip into the red visible light or the green visible light. For example, the blue conversion layer 111b may include CdS/ZnS which can convert the ultraviolet light emitted from an ultraviolet LED chip into the blue visible light. The above materials and combinations thereof are only examples, and the present disclosure may adopt any materials and combinations thereof known by a person having ordinary skills in the art to form the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
Referring to FIG. 4, which is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the light-emitting diode display device according to still other embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the light-emitting diode display device 1 may further include a plurality of spacers 13, and the spacers 13 are disposed between adjacent units (i.e. the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c to prevent two adjacent units from interfering with each other. In some embodiments, the spacer 13 includes a reflective wall 130 and an absorbing wall 131 disposed on the reflective wall 130. The reflective wall 130 may increase light utilization efficiency, and the absorbing wall 131 may reduce light leakage. In some embodiments, the reflective wall 130 may be white resin or metal that has reflective properties and may prevent leaking light. The white resin may include resin and light reflecting material. For example, the resin includes polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate ester (PC), epoxy resin, or silicone resin, and the light-reflective material may be an oxide, such as TiO2 or other suitable materials for reflecting light, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

For example, the black matrix resist may be a chrome (Cr) metal black matrix resist, resin black matrix resist, graphite black matrix resist, or other suitable materials for absorbing light, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the light transmittance of the reflective wall 130 or the absorbing wall 131 is less than 5%.
Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, which are schematic cross-sectional views showing the light-emitting diode display device according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the light-emitting diode display device 1 may further include a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) 14, and the distributed Bragg reflector 14 is disposed on the green units 11g, the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c. Specifically, the distributed Bragg reflection layer 14 includes multiple layers stacked in sequence, and the multiple layers have different refractive indices. The distributed Bragg reflection layer 14 reflects the ultraviolet light that has not been completely converted into visible light to excite the red conversion layer 111r, the green conversion layer 111g, the blue conversion layer 111b, and the cyan conversion layer 111c again, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of each color conversion layer. As shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the light-emitting diode display device 1 may be provided with a plurality of spacers 13 and a distributed Bragg reflection layer 14 at the same time, so as to further improve the optical characteristics of the light emitted by the LED chips.
Still referring to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the green units 11g, the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c are arranged along the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. Since the human eye is more sensitive to green visible light, the density of pixel information seen by humans may be effectively increased by increasing the quantity of green units 11g. In other words, in the light-emitting diode display device 1 of the present disclosure, in order to provide a better display quality while realizing a wide color gamut, the quantity of green units 11g may be more than the quantity of red units 11r, the quantity of green units 11g may be more than the quantity of blue units 11b, and the quantity of green units 11g may be more than that of cyan units 11c.
In some embodiments, the density of pixel information seen by the human eye may be effectively increased by reducing the pitch between the green units 11g. As shown in FIG. 1, in the first direction D1, the minimum pitch Psub_g between adjacent green units 11g may be less than the minimum pitch Psub_r between adjacent red units 11r, the minimum pitch Psu_g between adjacent green units 11g may be less than the minimum pitch Psub_b between adjacent blue units 11b, and the minimum pitch Psub_g between adjacent green units 11g may be less than the minimum pitch Psub_c between two adjacent cyan units 11c.
As mentioned above, the recognition of color images by the human eye may be roughly divided into the color-sharing mechanism and the visual limit mechanism. When the human eye watches a display device, the color-sharing mechanism and the visual limit mechanism are related to the stripe pitch and the distance between the human eye and the display. When the stripe pitch is P and the distance between the human eye and the display is D, the angular frequency may be defined as
On the other hand, the quantity of cycles of black and white stripes per degree of viewing angle that may be recognized by the human eye is defined as the spatial frequency, and the unit of the spatial frequency is CPD (cycles per degree). When the angular frequency (f(P)) satisfies a specific spatial frequency (CPD), the aforementioned color-sharing mechanism and visual limit mechanism may be realized. In other words, the effects of color-sharing and light mixing may be achieved by adjusting the minimum pitch between adjacent units.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7 at the same time, wherein FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the color-sharing mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. First, the color-sharing mechanism is considered. When the angular frequency f(P) of the light-emitting units is between 15CPD-30CPD, the color-sharing mechanism may be realized. Therefore, in order to make the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c on the display device may share color to the surrounding green units 11g (as shown by the dotted arrow in FIG. 7), the minimum pitch Psub_r of adjacent two red units 11r, the minimum pitch Psub_b of adjacent two blue units 11b, and the minimum pitch Psub_c of adjacent two cyan units 11b may be adjusted, so that the minimum pitches are all between 15CPD-30CPD. In some embodiments, only the minimum angular frequencies min{f(Psub_r), f(Psub_b), f(Psub_c)} of the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c are adjusted to be between 15 CPD-30 CPD. Therefore, the color-sharing mechanism may be expressed as the following relationship (1) in the application of the present disclosure:
15CPD≤min{f(Psub_r),f(Psub_b),f(Psub_c)}≤30CPD
Then the visual limit mechanism is considered. When the angular frequency f(P) of the light-emitting units is between 30 CPD and 60 CPD, the visual limit mechanism may be realized. Therefore, in order to make the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, the cyan units 11c, and the green units 11g on the display achieve the light mixing effect, the minimum pitch Psub_r between adjacent red units 11r, the minimum pitch Psub_b between adjacent blue units 11b, the minimum pitch Psub_c between adjacent cyan units 11c, and the minimum pitch Psub_g between adjacent green units 11g are between 30 CPD and 60 CPD. In some embodiments, since the minimum pitch Psub_g between adjacent green units 11g is the smallest in the first direction D1, only the angular frequency f(Psub_g) of the green units 11g is adjusted to be between 30 CPD and 60 CPD. Therefore, the visual limit mechanism may be expressed as the following relationship (2) in the application of the present disclosure:
As mentioned above, in order to satisfy the color-sharing mechanism and the visual limit mechanism at the same time, the minimum pitches of the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c may satisfy relationship (1), and the minimum pitch of the green units 11g may satisfy the relationship (2). In this way, the minimum pitches between the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, the cyan units 11c, and the green units 11g satisfy the following relationship (3) in the present disclosure:
The present disclosure realizes a light-emitting diode display device 1 having a wide color gamut and excellent display quality by making the quantity and arrangement of the green units 11g, the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c in the display device satisfy the aforementioned mechanism (or relationship). In the following, several specific embodiments and other additional benefits will be provided to make the present disclosure clearer and easier to understand.
Referring to FIG. 1 and to FIG. 8 at the same time. FIG. 8 is an enlarged schematic diagram of the minimum repeat unit in FIG. 1. As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the green units 11g, the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c may form a plurality of minimum repeat units U1, and the minimum repeat units U1 are periodically arranged on the substrate 10.
The quantity G of the green units 11g, the quantity R of the red units 11r, the quantity B of the blue units 11b, and the quantity C of the cyan units 11c in each of the minimum repeat units U1 may satisfy G>C≥R≥B to effectively increase the density of pixel information seen by the human eye. Compared with the light-emitting diode display device in which the quantities of light-emitting units of different types are equal, the total quantity of light-emitting units may be reduced while maintaining the display quality by maximizing the quantity G of the green units 11g to reduce the cost. In the embodiments of FIG. 1 and FIG. 8, the minimum repeat unit U1 is a rectangle, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the minimum repeat unit may be a rhombus, a rectangle, a triangle, a polygon, a circle, or other shapes, and at least some of which will be described in detail below.
In some embodiments, the minimum repeat unit U1 has a region area Su, and each of the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c respectively has a light-emitting area Sg, a light-emitting area Sr, a light-emitting area Se, and a light-emitting area Sc. In some embodiments, the light-emitting units of different colors have the same light-emitting area, for example, Sg=Sr=Sb=Sc. Therefore, the size and luminous efficiency of each light-emitting unit of the light-emitting diode display device 1 disclosed in the present disclosure are the same, so that the lifetime of each light-emitting unit is equivalent, and design difficulties are reduced.
In some embodiments, the proportion of the total light-emitting area of the light-emitting units in the minimum repeat unit U1 is defined as “aperture ratio A”, which may be expressed as the following relationship (4):
The G, R, B, and C respectively are the quantity of green units 11g, the quantity of red units 11r, the quantity of blue units 11b, and the quantity of cyan units 11c in the minimum repeat unit U1. Compared with the liquid crystal display (LCD) whose aperture ratio is designed to be as high as 30% to 90%, the present disclosure may provide a lower aperture ratio A, thereby facilitating maintenance of the light-emitting units in the light-emitting diode display device 1. In some embodiments, the light-emitting diode display device 1 of the present disclosure has an aperture ratio A<30%.
As shown in FIG. 8, the minimum repeat unit U1 in the light-emitting diode display device 1 may be divided into a plurality of spatial sub-units (for example, the spatial sub-unit US1-1 and the spatial sub-unit US1-2) to satisfy the color-sharing mechanism in space. In the present disclosure, the term “spatial sub-unit” refers to the smallest display area spatially related to the color-sharing mechanism, and each spatial sub-unit is composed of at least two units (for example, at least two light-emitting units of the green unit 11g, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c). For the color-sharing mechanism, each minimum repeat unit U1 includes one spatial sub-unit (hereinafter referred to as the main spatial sub-unit) composed of green units 11g, and another one spatial sub-unit (hereinafter referred to as the color-sharing spatial sub-unit) composed of other light-emitting units (for example, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c). In some embodiments, the main spatial sub-unit and the color-sharing spatial sub-unit may be partially overlapped to make the effect of the color-sharing mechanism more prominent.
Taking the minimum repeat unit U1 in FIG. 8 as an example, the minimum repeat unit U1 includes the spatial sub-unit US1-1 and the spatial sub-unit US1-2. The spatial sub-unit US1-1 is the main spatial sub-unit composed of four green units 11g. The spatial sub-unit US1-2 is the color-sharing spatial sub-unit composed of two cyan units 11c, one red unit 11r, and one blue unit 11b. Therefore, for the embodiment in FIG. 8, the quantity ratio of the red units 11r, the green units 11g, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c in the minimum repeat unit U1 is 1:4:1:2.
Referring to FIG. 9, which is a schematic diagram showing the operation flow of a light-emitting diode display device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the light-emitting diode display device 1 further includes the controller 12, and the controller 12 may perform the color processing on the input image I to improve the display resolution of the light-emitting diode display device 1. Since the ratio of light-emitting units of various colors in the minimum repeat unit U1 is no longer 1:1:1 (R:G:B) similar to that of traditional units, therefore in the application, it is possible to use algorithms in advance for the color processing according to the ratio of each of the units of various colors. Finally, the image information is sent to the light-emitting units in the minimum repeat unit U1 to display an image according to the calculated result. In some embodiments, the algorithm may employ sub-pixel rendering techniques. For example, the color processing includes transforming the input signal V(R, G, B)in into the output signal V(R, G, B, C)out using the transformation matrix M, and the matrix transformation equation is V(R, G, B, C)out=M·V(R, G, B)in, wherein the V(R, G, B, C)out is a 4×1 matrix, M is a 4×3 matrix, and V(R, G, B)in is a 3×1 matrix. The above matrix may be expressed as:
The left matrix is V(R, G, B, C)out, the middle matrix is M, and the right matrix is V(R, G, B)in. The 12 values in M of the matrix transformation equation (that is, r1-r3, g1-g3, b1-b3, and c1-c3) represent the transformation factor for converting three-color points of RGB to four-color points of RGBC.
Referring to FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B, which are schematic diagrams showing the temporal sub-unit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The light-emitting units may be turned to emit light in turn (for example, by timing control) based on the principle of persistence of vision of the human eye to satisfy the color-sharing mechanism in time and reduce current consumption. In some embodiments, the green units 11g, the red units 11r, the blue units 11b, and the cyan units 11c form a plurality of temporal sub-units, and the controller 12 controls the temporal sub-units to display in turn in a time sequence. In the present disclosure, the term “temporal sub-unit” refers to the smallest display area temporally related to the color-sharing mechanism. It should be noted that each temporal sub-unit is centered on one green unit 11g and make other surrounding units (for example, the red unit 11r, the blue unit 11b, and/or the cyan unit 11c) match the central green unit 11g to satisfy the color-sharing mechanism.
Taking FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B as an example. First, as shown in (a) of FIG. 10A, the temporal sub-unit UT1-1 is turned on. The temporal sub-unit UT1-1 is composed of one green unit 11g as the center and one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and one cyan unit 11c around it. Next, as shown in (b) of FIG. 10A, the time sub-unit UT1-2 is turned on within a time interval that cannot be perceived by the human eye (i.e., the persistence of vision). The temporal sub-unit UT1-2 is composed of another green unit 11g as the center and one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and one cyan unit 11c around it. As shown in FIG. 10B, this step is performed in sequence until the temporal sub-unit UT1-1 to the temporal sub-unit UT1-4 are illuminated as shown in FIG. 10B. For example, the temporal sub-unit UT1-1 to the temporal sub-unit UT1-4 may be turned on in sequence with a time interval of less than 1/16 second, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The light-emitting diode display device of the present disclosure has low energy consumption, low cost, and excellent display effect due to the specific configuration of light-emitting units in space (spatial sub-unit) as mentioned above, as well as by the specific control of light-emitting units in time (temporal sub-unit).
Referring to FIG. 11 to FIG. 15, which respectively are schematic diagrams showing the minimum repeat units and the spatial sub-units of the light-emitting diode display device according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. Compared with the embodiments shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 8, these embodiments differ in that the light-emitting units are arranged in different ways to form different minimum repeat units and spatial sub-units. In the embodiment of FIG. 11, the minimum repeat unit U2 is a rectangle, which includes eight green units 11g, two red units 11r, two blue units 11b, and four cyan units 11c. Therefore, for the embodiment in FIG. 11, the quantity ratio of the red unit 11r, the green unit 11g, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c in the minimum repeat unit U2 is 1:4:1:2. Four of the eight green units 11g form the rectangular spatial sub-unit US2-1, and the other four form the rectangular spatial sub-unit US2-2. Four cyan units 11c form the rectangular spatial sub-unit US2-3, and two red units 11r and two blue units 11b form the rectangular spatial sub-unit US2-4.
In the embodiment of FIG. 12, the minimum repeat unit U3 is a rectangle, which includes four green units 11g, one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and two cyan units 11c. Therefore, for the embodiment in FIG. 12, the quantity ratio of the red unit 11r, the green unit 11g, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c in the minimum repeat unit U3 is 1:4:1:2. Four green units 11g form the parallelogram spatial sub-unit US3-1, and one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and two cyan units 11c form the parallelogram spatial sub-unit US3-2.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the minimum repeat unit U4 is a rhombus, which includes two green units 11g, one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and one cyan unit 11c. Therefore, for the embodiment in FIG. 13, the quantity ratio of the red unit 11r, the green unit 11g, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c in the minimum repeat unit U4 is 1:2:1:1. Two green units 11g form the rectangular spatial sub-unit US4-1, and one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and one cyan unit 11c form the rectangular spatial sub-unit US4-2.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the minimum repeat unit U5 is a rhombus, which includes three green units 11g, one red unit 11r, one blue unit 11b, and one cyan unit 11c. Therefore, for the embodiment in FIG. 14, the quantity ratio of the red unit 11r, the green unit 11g, the blue unit 11b, and the cyan unit 11c in the minimum repeat unit U5 is 1:3:1:1.
