Micro package structure
A micro package structure includes a micro LED panel including an IC (integrated circuit) substrate and an micro LED array area formed on the IC substrate; a top cover plane formed above the micro LED panel, so that light emitted from the micro LED array area is transmitted upward to the top cover plane; and a seal structure formed between an edge of the micro LED panel and an edge of the top cover plane around the micro LED array area.
1 . A micro package structure, comprising:
a micro LED panel comprising an IC (integrated circuit) substrate and a micro LED array area formed on the IC substrate;
