The first region includes a plurality of first light-emitting units, and the second region includes a plurality of second light-emitting units. An area of the first light-emitting unit is greater than an area of the second light-emitting unit. The area of the second light-emitting unit in the second region arranged on the edge is relatively small, which improves a doping rate of a light-emitting element in the second region, so that doping rates of the light-emitting element of the light-emitting structure in the first region and the second the area tend to be equal, thereby solving a problem of uneven light-emitting wavelengths in the first region and the second region when the light-emitting unit is prepared by epitaxy. ## Claims ### Claim 1 Light-emitting structure, comprising: a first region and a second region surrounding the first region; wherein the first region comprises a plurality of first light-emitting units, the second region comprises a plurality of second light-emitting units; and an area of the first light-emitting unit is greater than an area of the second light-emitting unit; and the closer the second light-emitting unit to the first region is, the larger the area of the second light-emitting unit is. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein areas of the plurality of first light-emitting units are equal. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein areas of the plurality of second light-emitting units are equal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein the further away the first light-emitting unit from the second region is, the larger the area of the first light-emitting unit is. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein the area of the first light-emitting unit is 1.1 to 2 times the area of the second light-emitting unit. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of a light-emitting element content in an active layer of the first light-emitting unit to a light-emitting element content in the active layer of the second light-emitting unit ranges from 0.95 to 1.05. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The light-emitting structure according to claim 6, wherein the active layer of the first light-emitting unit or the second light-emitting unit is a single quantum well of InGaN or AlGaN, or a plurality of quantum wells composed of InGaN/GaN or AlGaN/GaN, or a GaN-based material doped with indium element or aluminum element. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The light-emitting structure according to claim 6, wherein the light-emitting element is indium or aluminum. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein a distance between adjacent first light-emitting units is less than or equal to a distance between adjacent second light-emitting units in a circumferential direction of the light-emitting structure or in a radial direction of the light-emitting structure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of an area of the first region to an area of the light-emitting structure ranges from 0.3 to 0.98. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein a shape of the first region is any one of a circle, an ellipse and a polygon. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, comprising: a patterned substrate and light-emitting units arranged in layers, wherein the patterned substrate comprises a columnar structure and a groove arranged at intervals, and the light-emitting units comprise the first light-emitting units arranged in the first region and the second light-emitting units arranged in the second region; and the light-emitting units are arranged on the columnar structure or in the groove. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The light-emitting structure according to claim 12, wherein the light-emitting units are arranged in a form of radial diffusion or in a form of matrix. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The light-emitting structure according to claim 1, wherein the first light-emitting unit comprises a first pixel, a second pixel and a third pixel respectively, and cross-sectional area of the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel increases sequentially; and the second light-emitting unit comprises a fourth pixel, a fifth pixel and a sixth pixel respectively, and cross-sectional area of the fourth pixel, the fifth pixel and the sixth pixel increases sequentially.
