Method and apparatus for mass transfer of micro LEDs

1. A method for mass transfer of Micro LEDs, comprising:

providing Micro LED chips, the Micro LED chips comprising first Micro LED chips capable of emitting a first color, second Micro LED chips capable of emitting a second color, and third Micro LED chips capable of emitting a third color, the first color being different from the second color, the third color being different from the first color and the second color, a shape of the first Micro LED chips being different from a shape of the second Micro LED chips, and a shape of the third Micro LED chips being different from the shape of the first Micro LED chips and the shape of the second Micro LED chips;

dumping at one time the first Micro LED chips, the second Micro LED chips and the third Micro LED chips onto a transfer surface of a transfer mold, the transfer surface being formed with first type transfer cavities, second type transfer cavities, and third type transfer cavities, the first type transfer cavities having a first shape that matches the shape of the first Micro LED chips, the second type transfer cavities having a second shape that matches the shape of the second Micro LED chips, and the third type transfer cavities having a third shape that matches the shape of the third micro LED chips; and

vibrating the transfer mold to cause the first, second and third Micro LED chips to fall into the first, second and third type transfer cavities respectively, and tilting the transfer mold so that the Micro LED chips that have not fallen into the first, second and third type transfer cavities leave the transfer surface,

wherein the first Micro LED chips have an isosceles trapezoidal lateral section, the second Micro LED chips have a right-angle-at-left trapezoidal lateral section, and the third Micro LED chips have a right-angle-at-right trapezoidal lateral section.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second and third Micro LED chips has a substantially trapezoidal longitudinal section.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the trapezoidal longitudinal section of each of the first, second and third Micro LED chips has an included angle within a range of approximately 75° to approximately 85°.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the first Micro LED chips, the second Micro LED chips to the third Micro LED chips in quantity is approximately 1:

1:1.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein an angle of tilting of the transfer mold is within a range of approximately 15° to approximately 30°.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting the transfer surface with an automatic optical inspection equipment, and filling, with a manipulator, empty transfer cavities with shape-matched Micro LED chips respectively;

testing component function of the Micro LED chips on the transfer mold, removing, with the manipulator, defective Micro LED chips, and then filling non-defective shaped-matched Micro LED chips; and

soldering and packaging the Micro LED chips on the transfer mold to a circuit board in position.

7. An apparatus for mass transfer of Micro LEDs, comprising:

a transfer mold, having a transfer surface that is formed with first type transfer cavities, second type transfer cavities and third type transfer cavities, the transfer cavities of each type having a shape suitable to match a shape of Micro LED chips with one same color; and

a vibrating source in contact with the transfer mold,

wherein the first type transfer cavities have an isosceles trapezoidal lateral section, the second type transfer cavities have a right-angle-at-left trapezoidal lateral section, and the third type transfer cavities have a right-angle-at-right trapezoidal lateral section.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein each of the transfer cavities has a vacuum suction hole provided at a bottom thereof.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein each of the transfer cavities has a depth in a range of approximately 2.5 microns to approximately 5 microns.
