Abstract

A micro-LED mounting substrate includes a wiring line substrate provided with at least a plurality of substrate-side connecting portions on one plate surface, a plurality of micro-LEDs disposed side by side in the one plate surface of the wiring line substrate and each including at least a light-emitting face and an LED-side connecting portion provided on a surface opposite to the light-emitting face and connected to the substrate-side connecting portion, a first positioning portion provided on at least a portion of the plurality of micro-LEDs, and facing an installation surface of the substrate-side connecting portion of the wiring line substrate, and a second positioning portion provided on the installation surface of the substrate-side connecting portion of the wiring line substrate and capable of positioning the micro-LEDs including the first positioning portion by being recess-projection-fitted to the first positioning portion.

Claims (27)

1. A micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) mounting substrate comprising:

a wiring line substrate including a pair of main surfaces, and provided with at least a plurality of substrate-side connecting portions on one main surface of the pair of main surfaces;

a plurality of micro-LEDs disposed side by side on the one main surface of the wiring line substrate, each of the plurality of micro-LEDs including at least a light-emitting face and an LED-side connecting portion provided on a surface opposite the light-emitting face and electrically connected to a corresponding substrate-side connecting portion in the plurality of substrate-side connecting portions;

a first positioning portion provided on the surface opposite the light-emitting face of at least one of the plurality of micro-LEDs; and

a second positioning portion provided on the one main surface of the wiring line substrate and capable of positioning the at least one of the plurality of micro-LEDs including the first positioning portion by being recess-projection-fitted to the first positioning portion,

wherein the first positioning portion is provided separately from the LED-side connecting portion, and

the second positioning portion is provided separately from the substrate-side connecting portion.

2. The micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first positioning portion is disposed closer to an outer end of the at least one of the plurality of micro-LEDs than the LED-side connecting portion.

3. The micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 2 ,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of micro-LEDs is a polygon having a planar shape with four or more sides, and

at least two of the first positioning portions are disposed at diagonal positions of the at least one of the plurality of micro-LEDs.

4. The micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first positioning portion is disposed in each corner position of the at least one of the plurality of micro-LEDs.

5. The micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first positioning portion is provided on each of the plurality of micro-LEDs while a plurality of the second positioning portions is respectively recess-projection-fitted to the plurality of first positioning portions provided on each of the plurality of micro-LEDs.

6. The micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the wiring line substrate is a polygon having a planar shape with four or more sides,

the plurality of micro-LEDs is disposed side by side in a matrix shape on the one main surface of the wiring line substrate, and

the first positioning portion is selectively provided on a portion of the plurality of micro-LEDs disposed at corner positions of the wiring line substrate.

7. The micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of micro-LEDs is provided with a plurality of first positioning portions, including the first positioning portion, while the wiring line substrate is provided with a plurality of second positioning portions, including the second positioning portion, and

the plurality of first positioning portions and the plurality of second positioning portions are configured to form a plurality of sets that is fittable together when a combination thereof matches and that is not fittable together when the combination does not match, and different sets are each rotationally asymmetric with respect to a center of each of the plurality of micro-LEDs.

8. A micro-LED display comprising:

the micro-LED mounting substrate according to claim 1 ; and

a plurality of pixels serving as display units for displaying an image,

wherein the plurality of micro-LEDs forms the plurality of pixels.
