Abstract
Micro-LED display has risen to prominence in research and industry, distinguished by their numerous advantages. Quantum dots (QDs) film, serving as color conversion layers (CCLs) for Micro-LED, are considered a leading candidate for the next generation of displays, owing to their low power consumption and broad color gamut. Inkjet printing stands out as a feasible approach for crafting QDs CCLs. The essence of the process hinges on attaining a printed QDs film that boasts both uniformity and high-precision QDs array. However, the unstable printing of QDs ink significantly impacts the surface morphology of QDs arrays and the display performance of Micro-LEDs. Therefore, elucidating the mechanism behind the unstable printing of QDs in inkjet printing and fabricating QDs is of paramount importance. In this study, through the simulation of unstable printing with conventional QDs ink, we identified nozzle blockage and the rapid evaporation of low-boiling-point ink as the primary causes of unstable printing. This leads to aggregation and deposition of QDs, obstructing the nozzle and altering the fluid path. A novel binary organic composite ink was employed to print the QDs array on the substrate with ultra-stability, achieving a high yield and greatly reduced coffee-ring effect Micro-LED full-color display.
