Abstract

A chip transferring method includes providing a plurality of chips on a first load-bearing structure; measuring photoelectric characteristic values of the plurality of chips; categorizing the plurality of chips into a first portion chips and a second portion chips according to the photoelectric characteristic values of the plurality of chips, wherein the second portion chips comprise parts of the plurality of chips which photoelectric characteristic value falls within an unqualified range; removing the second portion chips from the first load-bearing structure; dividing the first portion chips into a plurality of blocks according to the photoelectric characteristic values, and each of the plurality of blocks comprising multiple chips of the first portion chips; and transferring the multiple chips of one of the plurality of blocks to a second load-bearing structure.

Claims (28)

1. A chip transferring method, comprising:

providing a plurality of chips on a first load-bearing structure;

measuring photoelectric characteristic values of the plurality of chips;

categorizing the plurality of chips into a first portion chips and a second portion chips according to the photoelectric characteristic values of the plurality of chips, wherein the second portion chips comprise parts of the plurality of chips which photoelectric characteristic value falls within an unqualified range;

removing the second portion chips from the first load-bearing structure;

dividing the first portion chips into a plurality of blocks according to the photoelectric characteristic values, and each of the plurality of blocks comprising multiple chips of the first portion chips; and

transferring the multiple chips of one of the plurality of blocks to a second load-bearing structure.

2. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , wherein removing the second portion chips from the first load-bearing structure comprises:

weakening a first adhesion between the second portion chips and the first load-bearing structure; and

transferring the second portion chips from the first load-bearing structure.

3. The chip transferring method according to claim 2 , wherein the step of weakening the first adhesion comprises a peptization process.

4. The chip transferring method according to claim 3 , wherein the peptization process comprises illuminating the first load-bearing structure with light.

5. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a peptizer on surfaces of the first portion chips or the second portion chips.

6. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , wherein the photoelectric characteristic value comprises a luminescence, a light-emitting wavelength, an operating voltage or an electric current.

7. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

recording the photoelectric characteristic values of the plurality of chips to form a wafer map file based on a position of each of the plurality of chips on the first load-bearing structure.

8. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , wherein dividing the first portion chips into a plurality of blocks according to the photoelectric characteristic values comprises cutting the first load-bearing structure according to the plurality of blocks.

9. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , wherein transferring the multiple chips of the one of the plurality of blocks to the second load-bearing structure is in single-batch.

10. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , further comprising calculating an average photoelectric characteristic value of each of the plurality blocks.

11. The chip transferring method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of blocks comprises a plurality of virtual blocks.

12. A display device, comprising:

a backplane;

a plurality of picture elements, disposed on the backplane, comprising the multiple chips transferred by the chip transferring method according to claim 1 ; and

a control module, electrically connecting the plurality of picture elements.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , further comprising a wavelength converting material formed on the multiple chips, and wherein the wavelength converting material comprises phosphor or quantum dot material.

14. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the multiple chips in one of the plurality of picture elements comprises a first chip emits blue light, a second chip emits green light and a third chip emits red light.

15. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein a distance between two adjacent picture elements of the plurality of picture elements is between 100 μm and 5 mm.

16. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein a distance between two adjacent chips of the multiple chips in one of the plurality of picture elements is between 100 μm and 500 μm.
