Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the structure of a micro light-emitting device and an alignment substrate. The light-emitting device according to one embodiment includes an inclined side surface having a three-dimensional shape. The inclined side surface is formed to protrude from one surface of the micro light-emitting device, has magnetism, and includes two different electrodes formed in one direction. In this case, among the two electrodes, one electrode may be formed on a mesa portion, and the other electrode may be formed on the inclined side surface.

Claims (13)

1. A three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting device comprising:

a structure including an inclined side surface, p-contact, p-GaN, n-contact, n-GaN, a substrate, and a wind resistance structure,

wherein the inclined side surface has a circular cone shape or a pyramid shape,

wherein the structure including the inclined side surface has magnetism and protrudes from the p-GaN,

wherein the p-contact and the n-contact form a first electrode and a second electrode, respectively,

wherein the p-contact is disposed to contact the structure including the inclined side surface,

wherein the n-contact is disposed on a mesa portion,

wherein the inclined side surface, the p-contact, the p-GaN, the n-contact, and the n-GaN are disposed on a first surface of the substrate, and the wind resistance structure is disposed on a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface of the substrate.

2. The three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the p-contact and the n-contact are simultaneously connected to an alignment substrate.

3. The three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of the three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting devices are injected into a fluid and made into an ink, discharged at a specific location on the alignment substrate through inkjet printing technology, and

in the alignment substrate, the ink including the plurality of the three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting devices is guided to a pattern on the alignment substrate by a magnetic field applied on a side opposite to another side for the plurality of the three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting devices to be discharged.

4. The three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the structure including the inclined side surface includes a paramagnetic material to maintain a tip of the structure including the inclined side surface facing downward in response to a magnetic field and the paramagnetic material is included in the structure including the inclined side surface by at least one of the following ways: a first method of constituting the structure including the inclined side surface, and a second method of coating on the surface of the structure including the inclined side surface.

5. The three-dimensional shaped micro light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the wind resistance structure includes resistance wings that progressively widen from the second surface of the substrate to a direction away from the second surface of the substrate, and guides the structure including the inclined side surface toward a direction of an alignment substrate by using difference in air resistance caused by the resistance wings.
