Ultra-small LED electrode assembly
Provided is a ultra-small light-emitting diode (LED) electrode assembly including a base substrate; an electrode line formed on the base substrate, and including a first electrode and a second electrode formed in a line shape to be interdigitated with each other while being spaced apart from each other; and at least one ultra-small LED device connected to the electrode line. A cross section of at least one of the first and second electrodes in a vertical direction has a height variation such that the first and second electrodes easily come in contact with the at least one ultra-small LED device.
1. A light-emitting diode (LED) electrode assembly comprising:
a base substrate;
a first electrode and a second electrode on the base substrate extending to a first direction and being apart from each other in a second direction;
a first lead electrode and a second lead electrode extending to the second direction, and connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively; and
a plurality of LED devices connected to the first and second electrodes and having a shape extending to one direction,
wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are disposed between the first lead electrode and the second lead electrode,
a first thickness of the first and second electrodes which is a thickness of a center portion of the first and second electrodes is greater than a second thickness of the first and second electrodes which is a thickness of a side portion of the first and second electrodes, and
one end portion of the plurality of LED devices is disposed on the side portion of the first electrode, and another end portion of the plurality of LED devices is disposed on the side portion of the second electrode.
2. The LED electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein a cross section of at least one of the first and second electrodes in a vertical direction has a shape selected from among a semicircular shape, a polygonal shape, and a center-protruding shape.
3. The LED electrode assembly of claim 2 , wherein at least one among corners of the first or second electrode having the center-protruding shape is chamfered.
4. The LED electrode assembly of claim 2 , wherein at least one among corners of the first or second electrode having the center-protruding shape is rounded.
5. The LED electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second electrodes comprises:
a mounting portion mounted on the base substrate; and
a protruding portion upwardly protruding from a central region of the mounting portion.
6. The LED electrode assembly of claim 5 , wherein the at least one LED device has a pillar shape,
a distance between the protruding portion of the first electrode and the protruding portion of the second electrode adjacent thereto is greater than or equal to a length of the at least one LED device, and
a distance between the mounting portion of the first electrode and the mounting portion of the second electrode adjacent thereto is less than the length of the at least one LED device.
