## Abstract

A chip on board (COB) display device includes a substrate, an array of spaced-apart micro light-emitting diode (LED) chips, a light-shielding layer, and an anti-glare layer. The micro LED chips are disposed on the substrate to define thereamong, a recessed portion recessed relative to the micro LED chips. The light-shielding layer is filled in the recessed portion. The anti-glare layer is disposed to cover the light-shielding layer and the micro LED chips, and has a surface which is opposite to the substrate and which is formed with a patterned microstructure. A method for making the COB display device is also disclosed herein.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A chip on board (COB) display device, comprising:
a substrate including a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other;
an array of spaced-apart micro light-emitting diode (LED) chips disposed on said first surface of said substrate to define thereamong, a recessed portion recessed relative to said micro LED chips;
a light-shielding layer made of an opaque polymer material, said light-shielding layer being disposed on said first surface and being filled in said recessed portion; and
an anti-glare layer made of a light-transmissive optical material, and disposed to cover said light-shielding layer and said micro LED chips, said anti-glare layer having a surface which is opposite to said substrate and which is formed with a patterned microstructure.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The COB display device of claim 1, further comprising an anti-reflection layer that is disposed to cover on said patterned microstructure of said anti-glare layer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The COB display device of claim 2, wherein said anti-reflection layer has a refractive index ranging between that of a semiconductor material for making the micro LED chips and that of air.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The COB display device of claim 2, further comprising an anti-fingerprint layer that is disposed to cover on said anti-reflection layer opposite to said substrate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The COB display device of claim 4, wherein said anti-fingerprint layer is made of a material selected from the group consisting of fluorine-containing compound, silane compound, and a combination thereof.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The COB display device of claim 1, wherein said light-shielding layer is filled to a level not higher than that of said micro LED chips.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The COB display device of claim 1, wherein said substrate is a circuit board having a control circuit, said micro LED chips being electrically connected to said control circuit.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The COB display device of claim 1, further comprising an active element and a passive element that are disposed on said second surface of said substrate and that are in signal connection with said micro LED chips.

### Claim 9

A method for making a chip on board (COB) display device, comprising the steps of:
a) mounting an array of spaced-apart micro light-emitting diode (LED) chips on a first surface of a substrate to permit the micro LED chips to define thereamong, a recessed portion;
b) filling an opaque polymer material in the recessed portion by inkjet printing to form a light-shielding layer therein, so as to obtain a semi-finished product;
c) providing a mold with a mold-releasing layer which has a micropattern of a concave-convex structure and which is provided for confronting the micro LED chips of the semi-finished product;
d) positioning the semi-finished product in a mold cavity of the mold in such a manner that the micro LED chips faces the mold-releasing layer; and
e) after step d), introducing a light-transmissive optical material to the mold cavity that is positioned between the semi-finished product and the mold-releasing layer, such that the light-transmissive optical material is cured to form an anti-glare layer that covers the light-shielding layer and the micro LED chips, and such that the micropattern of the mold-releasing layer is transferred to form a patterned microstructure of the anti-glare layer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, after step e), further comprising a step of:
f) forming an anti-reflection layer on the anti-glare layer opposite to the substrate by vacuum coating.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, after step f), further comprising a step of:
g) forming an anti-fingerprint layer on the anti-reflection layer opposite to the anti-glare layer by deposition or vacuum coating.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the substrate includes a circuit, the micro LED chips being mounted to be electrically connected to the circuit in step a).

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, after step g), further comprising a step of:
h) mounting a plurality of electronic components on a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface to permit the electronic components to be electrically connected to at least one portion of the micro LED chips.
