  • Publication number: 20240128420
    Abstract: A display panel including a circuit board, a plurality of bonding pads, a plurality of light emitting devices, and a plurality of solder patterns is provided. The bonding pads are disposed on the circuit board, and each includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The second metal layer is located between the first metal layer and the circuit board. The first metal layer includes an opening overlapping the second metal layer. A material of the first metal layer is different from a material of the second metal layer. The light emitting devices are electrically bonded to the bonding pads. Each of the solder patterns electrically connects one of the light emitting devices and one of the bonding pads. The solder patterns each contact the second metal layer through the opening of the first metal layer of one of the bonding pads to form a eutectic bonding.
