Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) display includes a top-emission LED that emits light upward; a bottom-emission LED that emits light downward; and a spacer disposed between the top-emission LED and the bottom-emission LED, thereby providing a dual-sided display.

Claims (45)

1. A light-emitting diode (LED) display, comprising:

a top-emission LED that emits light upward;

a bottom-emission LED that emits light downward; and

a spacer disposed between the top-emission LED and the bottom-emission LED, thereby providing a dual-sided display;

wherein the top-emission LED comprises:

a transparent substrate;

a first light blocking layer entirely formed above the transparent substrate and extended to the spacer; and

a second light blocking layer entirely formed below the transparent substrate and extended to the spacer.

2. The display of claim 1 , wherein the top-emission LED comprises:

a first reflective layer entirely formed above the first light blocking layer and extended to the spacer; and

a first LED disposed above the first reflective layer.

3. The display of claim 1 , wherein the first light blocking layer extended to the spacer is different in length from the second light blocking layer extended to the spacer.

4. The display of claim 2 , wherein the top-emission LED further comprises:

a first insulation layer and a second insulation layer consecutively formed above the first reflective layer;

a first metal conductive layer and a second metal conductive layer respectively formed in the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer;

an encapsulation layer covering the first LED; and

a light guide layer formed above the encapsulation layer.

5. The display of claim 4 , wherein the encapsulation layer has refractivity being greater than 1.

6. The display of claim 4 , wherein the bottom-emission LED comprises:

the first light blocking layer formed above a top peripheral surface of the transparent substrate;

the second light blocking layer formed below a bottom peripheral surface of the transparent substrate;

a second LED disposed above the transparent substrate;

a second reflective layer formed above the second LED; and

a third light blocking layer formed above the second reflective layer and extended to the spacer.

7. The display of claim 6 , wherein the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer have reflectivity being equal to or greater than 70%.

8. The display of claim 6 , wherein the first light blocking layer, the second light blocking layer and the third light blocking layer comprise a dark, no-reflective, non-transmissive and light-absorption material with optical density equal to or greater than 3.

9. The display of claim 6 , wherein the bottom-emission LED further comprises:

the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer consecutively formed above the transparent substrate;

the first metal conductive layer and the second metal conductive layer respectively formed in the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer;

the encapsulation layer covering the second LED; and

the light guide layer formed above the encapsulation layer.

10. The display of claim 1 , wherein the top-emission LED and the bottom-emission LED are driven by independent signals, and belong to different pixels respectively.

11. The display of claim 1 , wherein the top-emission LED and the bottom-emission LED are driven by independent signals, and belong to a same pixel.

12. The display of claim 1 , wherein top-emission LEDs are longitudinally disposed, and bottom-emission LEDS are longitudinally disposed.

13. The display of claim 1 , wherein top-emission LEDs are laterally disposed, and bottom-emission LEDs are laterally disposed.

14. The display of claim 1 , wherein top-emission LEDs are interlaced with bottom-emission LEDs.

15. The display of claim 1 , wherein the top-emission LED and the bottom-emission LED are micro-light-emitting diodes (microLEDs).

16. A light-emitting diode (LED) display, comprising:

a plurality of pixels, each including a plurality of LEDs with first electrodes connected to a driver via data lines respectively and with second electrodes connected together to a common line;

a plurality of transparent electric wires disposed in the plurality of pixels; and

black matrix (BM) covering the plurality of LEDs and data lines but not covering the transparent electric wires.

17. The display of claim 16 , wherein the transparent electric wires have optical transmittance equal to or greater than 85%.

18. The display of claim 16 , wherein the transparent electric wires comprise transparent conductive material.

19. The display of claim 18 , wherein the transparent conductive material comprises indium tin oxide (ITO), indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) or aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO).

20. The display of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of LEDs are micro-light-emitting diodes (microLEDs).
