## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly, to a display device using semiconductor light emitting devices.
BACKGROUND ART
Light emitting diode (LEDs) are well-known semiconductor light emitting devices that convert electric current into light and have been used as light sources for displaying images of electronic equipment including information communication equipment, in conjunction with green GaP:N LEDs, since red LEDs using GaAsP semiconductors were commercialized in 1962.
Nitride compound semiconductors such as gallium nitride (GaN) have high thermal stability and a broad band gap ranging from 0.8 to 6.2 eV, and therefore have received a great deal of attention in fields for the development of high-power output electronic component devices including LEDs.
One of the reasons why gallium nitride (GaN) has attracted a great deal of interest is because it is possible to fabricate semiconductor layers emitting green, blue, and white light, by using GaN in combination with other elements such as indium (In), aluminum (Al), and the like.
Due to the capability to control an emission wavelength via the use of GaN, the emission wavelength may be adjusted to a desired range suited to intrinsic properties of the materials used in compliance with the characteristics of specific equipment. For example, the use of GaN makes it possible to manufacture blue LEDs which are beneficial for optical recording and white LEDs which are capable of replacing incandescent lamps.
Thus, nitride semiconductors are widely used as base materials in manufacturing of blue/green laser diodes and light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Meanwhile, conventionally, liquid crystal display (LCD) devices and active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display devices are widely used as flat panel display devices.
However, LCD devices have slow response time and consume a large amount of power caused by reduction in efficiency of a back light unit (BLU) of LED devices. AMOLED display devices have low reliability of organic materials, thereby reducing lifespan to 2 years or less, and have a low productivity.

First Embodiment
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a display device using semiconductor light emitting devices according to a first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the display device using semiconductor light emitting devices is a display device of passive matrix (PM) type using semiconductor light emitting devices.
The display device using semiconductor light emitting devices includes a substrate 100, a plurality of first electrodes 200, an anisotropic conductive film 300, a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices 400, and a plurality of second electrodes 600.
The substrate 100 may be a circuit board on which the first electrodes 200 are aligned. The substrate may include glass or polyimide (PI) to implement a flexible display device. However, any suitable insulating and flexible material may also be used.
The first electrodes 200 function as data electrodes and are disposed on the substrate 100. For example, a plurality of first electrodes 200 may be aligned on the substrate 100 at equal intervals. The first electrodes 200 may be bar-shaped electrodes.
The anisotropic conductive film 300 is formed on the substrate 100 provided with the first electrodes 200. An anisotropic conductive film (ACF) is formed of a plurality of particles in which conductive cores are respectively coated with an insulating film.
When pressure or heat is applied to the anisotropic conductive film, the insulating film is destroyed at regions to which the pressure or heat is applied, such that the regions of the anisotropic conductive film are electrically connected to a layer via exposed cores of the anisotropic conductive film. In this case, the cores may be deformed to be connected to the layer.
For example, after the anisotropic conductive film 300 is disposed on the substrate 100 provided with the first electrodes 200, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are connected thereto by applying heat or pressure thereto.
In this case, the anisotropic conductive film 300 becomes conductive at conductive regions 302 between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 and the first electrodes 200 to which heat or pressure is applied. The anisotropic conductive film 300 is not conductive at non-conductive regions 301 to which heat or pressure is not applied.
Thus, the anisotropic conductive film 300 may not only bond the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 to the first electrodes 200 but also electrically connect the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 with the first electrodes 200.
These semiconductor light emitting devices 400 constitute individual pixels and are disposed on the anisotropic conductive film 300. In addition, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are electrically connected to the first electrodes 200.
For example, the first electrodes 200 may be electrically connected to the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 via the conductive regions 302 of the anisotropic conductive film 300 disposed therebetween. In this regard, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may be disposed on the first electrodes 200.
Due to excellent brightness, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400, which are small in size, may form individual sub-pixels. Each of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may has a rectangular or square shape having one side of 50 μm or less.
For example, a display device using square semiconductor light emitting devices 400 having one side of 10 μm as individual sub-pixels has sufficient brightness.
Thus, in a rectangular sub-pixel having one side of 600 and the other side of 300 μm, distances between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are sufficient to implement a flexible display device.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor light emitting device 400 used in the display device. Referring to FIG. 3, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 has a vertical structure.
The vertical semiconductor light emitting device includes a p-type electrode 414, a p-type semiconductor layer 413 disposed on the p-type electrode 414, an active layer 412 disposed on the p-type semiconductor layer 413, an n-type semiconductor layer 411 disposed on the active layer 412, and an n-type electrode 415 disposed on the n-type semiconductor layer 411.
In this case, the p-type electrode 414 disposed at a lower portion may be electrically connected to the first electrode 200 via a conductive region 302 of the anisotropic conductive film 300. The n-type electrode 415 disposed at an upper portion may be electrically connected to the second electrode 600, which will be described later.
A chip size of the vertical semiconductor light emitting device 400 may be reduced since the electrodes are disposed at upper and lower portions thereof.
Meanwhile, nitride semiconductor light emitting devices may be used as the semiconductor light emitting devices 400. Such nitride semiconductor light emitting devices may include gallium nitride (GaN), as a main element, and indium (In) and/or aluminum (Al) to realize high power output light emitting devices emitting various colors of light including blue light.
The second electrodes 600 are disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 and are electrically connected to the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
For example, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are aligned in plural of rows, and each of the second electrodes 600 may be disposed between the rows of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400. A distance between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 constituting individual pixels is sufficiently long to allow each of the second electrodes 600 to be disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
The second electrodes 600 may be bar-shaped electrodes. For example, the first electrodes 200 and the second electrodes 600 may be aligned to be perpendicular to each other, respectively. As a result, a PM structure is formed.
In addition, the second electrodes 600 may be electrically connected to the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 via connection electrodes 610 protruding from the second electrodes 600. For example, in a vertical semiconductor light emitting device 400, the second electrode 600 may be electrically connected to the n-type electrode of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 via the connection electrode 610.
The second electrodes 600 may be disposed directly on the anisotropic conductive film 300. As occasion demands, a transparent insulating layer (not shown) including silicon oxide (SiOx), and the like may be formed on the substrate 100 provided with the semiconductor light emitting devices 400, and then the second electrodes 600 may be disposed on the transparent insulating layer.
In addition, the second electrodes 600 may be formed spaced apart from the anisotropic conductive film 300 or the transparent insulating layer.
Meanwhile, in order to dispose the second electrodes 600 on the semiconductor light emitting devices 400, a transparent electrode formed of, for example, indium tin oxide (ITO), is to be used. However, an ITO-based material has a low adhesiveness to the n-type semiconductor layer.
Accordingly, horizontal second electrodes 600 are respectively disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400. Thus, it may not necessary to form a transparent electrode such as an ITO electrode.
Therefore, materials used to form the second electrodes 600 are not limited to transparent materials. Instead, a conductive material with high adhesiveness to the n-type semiconductor layer may be used to form the horizontal second electrodes 600 to improve light extraction efficiency.
A barrier wall 500 may further be disposed between the vertical semiconductor light emitting devices 400 in order to isolate each of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 constituting individual pixels.
In this regard, the barrier wall 500 may isolate individual sub-pixels from each other and a reflective barrier wall may be used as the barrier wall 500.
The barrier wall 500 may include a black or white insulating material in accordance with function of the display device. When a barrier wall 500 including a white insulating material is used, reflectivity may be improved. When a barrier wall 500 including a black insulating material is used, a contrast ratio may be improved while having reflectivity.
Meanwhile, when the second electrodes 600 are disposed on the anisotropic conductive film 300 between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400, the barrier wall 500 may be disposed between the vertical semiconductor light emitting devices 400 and between the second electrodes 600.
Thus, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400, which are small in size, may constitute individual sub-pixels. Since the distance between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 is sufficiently long to allow the second electrodes 600 to be disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400. Thus, a flexible display deice may be implemented.
In addition, the structure of the semiconductor light emitting device array may be simplified by use of an anisotropic conductive film. Particularly, the vertical semiconductor light emitting devices have a simpler design.
Second Embodiment
FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a display device using semiconductor light emitting devices according to a second embodiment. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 4.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a full color display of PM type to which a semiconductor light emitting device array is applied is illustrated.
The display device using semiconductor light emitting devices includes a substrate 100, a plurality of first electrodes 200, an anisotropic conductive film 300, a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices 400, a barrier wall 500, and a plurality of second electrodes 600.
That is, a plurality of first electrodes 200 is disposed on the substrate 100 and the anisotropic conductive film 300 is disposed thereon.
In addition, a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices 400 is disposed on the anisotropic conductive film 300 to be electrically connected to the first electrodes 200 and constitute individual pixels (sub-pixels). For example, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may respectively have a vertical structure.
In addition, a plurality of second electrodes 600 is disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 to be perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the first electrodes 200 and electrically connected to the vertical semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
A barrier wall 500 is disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
In this case, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may be red, green, and blue semiconductor light emitting devices 401, 402, and 403 to constitute sub-pixels.
For example, a full color display, in which red, green, and blue semiconductor light emitting devices 401, 402, and 403 are sequentially aligned, and red, green, and blue sub-pixels constitute one pixel -by use of the red, green, and blue semiconductor light emitting devices 401, 402, and 403, may be designed.
Third Embodiment
FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a display device using semiconductor light emitting devices according to a third embodiment. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C of FIG. 6.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, a full color display of PM type in which a wavelength converting layer 700 is applied to a semiconductor light emitting device array is illustrated.
The display device using semiconductor light emitting devices includes a substrate 100, a plurality of first electrodes 200, an anisotropic conductive film 300, a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices 400, a barrier wall 500, a plurality of second electrodes 600, and a wavelength converting layer 700.
That is, a plurality of first electrodes 200 is disposed on the substrate 100, and the anisotropic conductive film 300 is disposed thereon.
In addition, a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices 400, which constitute individual pixels and are electrically connected to the first electrodes 200, is disposed on the anisotropic conductive film 300. For example, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may respectively have a vertical structure.
In addition, a plurality of second electrodes 600 is respectively disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 to be perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the first electrodes 200 and electrically connected to the vertical semiconductor light emitting devices 400
A barrier wall 500 is disposed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
In addition, the wavelength converting layer 700 is disposed on the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
For example, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may be blue semiconductor light emitting devices 403 that emit blue (B) light, and the wavelength converting layer 700 converting blue (B) into colors of sub-pixels may be mounted thereon.
In this regard, the wavelength converting layer 700 may include a red fluorescent (phosphor) material 701 and a green fluorescent (phosphor) material 702 constituting individual sub-pixels.
That is, at a red sub-pixel, the red fluorescent (phosphor) material 701, which may convert blue (B) light into red (R) light, may be formed on the blue semiconductor light emitting device 403. At a green sub-pixel, the green fluorescent (phosphor) material 702, which may convert blue (B) light into green (G) light may be formed on the blue semiconductor light emitting device 403.
In addition, at a blue sub-pixel, the blue (B) semiconductor light emitting device 403 may be formed alone. In this case, the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) sub-pixels may constitute one pixel.
Meanwhile, if required, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may be white light emitting devices respectively including a yellow wavelength converting layer. In this case, a red fluorescent (phosphor) material, a green fluorescent (phosphor) material, and a blue fluorescent (phosphor) material may be disposed on the white light emitting devices to form sub-pixels.
In addition, sub-pixels may be formed using a color filter, in which red, green, and blue are repeatedly disposed.
In this regard, a black matrix 710 may be disposed between the fluorescent (phosphor) materials in order to increase a contrast ratio. That is, the black matrix 710 may improve contrast.
Thus, a full color display in which the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) sub-pixels constitute one pixel may be designed by applying the red and green fluorescent (phosphor) materials to the blue semiconductor light emitting devices 300.
Fourth Embodiment
FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a display device using semiconductor light emitting devices according to a fourth embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 8, a full color display of PM type in which a wavelength converting layer is applied to a semiconductor light emitting device array is illustrated.
The full color display device illustrated in FIG. 8 has the same structure as the full color display device according to the third embodiment, except that red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W) sub-pixels constitute one pixel by applying a red fluorescent (phosphor) material 701, a green fluorescent (phosphor) material 702, and a yellow fluorescent (phosphor) material 703 to the blue semiconductor light emitting devices 403.
In addition, contrast may further be improved by use of not only a black matrix 710 disposed between the fluorescent (phosphor) materials but also a black matrix 711 disposed on the wavelength converting layer 700 to isolate the luminescent regions of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
Thus, when full white is realized in the full color display structure in which the red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W) sub-pixels constitute one pixel, power may be reduced by maximizing efficiencies of the blue semiconductor light emitting devices and the yellow fluorescent (phosphor) material.
Fifth Embodiment
FIG. 9 illustrates cross-sectional views for describing a method of fabricating a display device using semiconductor light emitting devices according to a fifth embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 9, first, an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) 300 is formed by coating an anisotropic conductive film on a first substrate 110 on which a plurality of first electrodes 200 is disposed.
The first substrate 110 is a circuit board on which the first electrodes 200 are aligned. The substrate 110 may include glass or polyimide (PI) to implement a flexible display device.
Then, a second substrate 120 provided with a plurality of semiconductor light emitting devices 400, which correspond to the positions of the first electrodes 200 and constitute individual pixels, is disposed such that the first electrodes 200 respectively face the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
The second substrate 120 is a growth substrate from which vertical semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are grown and may be a sapphire substrate or a silicon substrate.
Then, the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 are thermally pressed. Accordingly, the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 are bonded to each other.
Accordingly, the first electrodes 200 and the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 may be respectively electrically connected to each other since only contact regions of the anisotropic conductive film 300 between the first electrodes 200 and the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 become conductive by thermal pressing.
For example, the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 may be thermally pressed by application of an ACF press head.
Then, the second substrate 120 is removed. For example, the second substrate 120 may be removed by laser lift-off (LLO) or chemical lift-off (CLO).
Then, the second electrodes 600 are formed between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 exposed by removal of the second substrate 120.
Here, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 and the second electrodes 600 are electrically connected to each other. For example, the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are aligned in plural rows, and the second electrodes 600 may be aligned between the rows of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400.

Then, if required, a transparent insulating layer (not shown) may be formed by coating silicon oxide (SiOx) or the like on the substrate 110 provided with the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 and the second electrodes 600.
If required, the transparent insulating layer may be coated on the substrate 110 provided with the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 before formation of the second electrodes 600. In this regard, the second electrodes 600 may be disposed on the transparent insulating layer.
In addition, the fabrication method may further include forming a barrier wall (not shown) between the vertical semiconductor light emitting devices 400.
For example, the barrier wall may be disposed by filling a space between the semiconductor light emitting devices 400. Alternatively, the barrier wall may be formed by lamination and etching using a mask.
Meanwhile, the semiconductor light emitting devices used in the display device may be processed so as to have distances and sizes suitable for the display device when a wafer is formed. Accordingly, the semiconductor light emitting devices may be efficiently applied to the display device.
FIG. 10 is a plan view illustrating a wafer on which semiconductor light emitting devices for a display device are formed.
As illustrated in FIG. 10, a region of a wafer provided with individual semiconductor light emitting devices defined with a-line, b-line, and b′-line may be used in a display device.
In this regard, an area of the display device may be proportional to a size of the wafer. That is, as the wafer increases in size, multiple display devices may be achieved from a single wafer.

For example, a data line is connected to the source region 801 of the thin film transistor 800, a scan line is connected to the gate electrode 803, and a first electrode 201, namely, a pixel electrode 201, is connected to the drain region 802.
Accordingly, pixels emitting light may be driven by the thin film transistors 800, and thus colors may be actively embodied by the pixels.

Accordingly, a full color display device in which the three sub-pixels constitute one pixel may be designed.
In addition, when all of the semiconductor light emitting devices 400 are blue semiconductor light emitting devices 403, a wavelength converting layer including a red fluorescent (phosphor) material and a green fluorescent (phosphor) material may further be disposed on the blue semiconductor light emitting devices 403 to realize a full color display device.
