Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Realizing high-resolution, full-color Micro-LED displays remains a central challenge due to the difficulty of integrating red, green, and blue (RGB) emission with scalable and manufacturable processes. In this work, we report the successful fabrication of a full-color Micro-LED display device based on photolithographically patterned nanophosphor thin films, a prepatterned color filter array, and a blue-emitting Micro-LED panel. The nanophosphor layers were precisely aligned to the subpixel layout via lithographic processes, enabling pixel-level color conversion with strong emission confinement and minimal crosstalk. The integrated display exhibits uniform RGB output, an internal quantum efficiency of ∼86% for the phosphor layer, >99% thermal emission recovery after 150 °C exposure, and a chromaticity white point close to the D65 standard. These results demonstrate a fully realized, manufacturable full-color Micro-LED display platform that is both scalable and suitable for high-performance applications such as AR/VR and compact visual systems.
