In this study, a blue transparent micro-LED display with a chip size of 20 μm × 20 μm, a pixel density of 152 PPI, a pixel spacing of 150 μm, and a resolution of 64 × 32 has been successfully fabricated. ITO/Ag/ITO transparent layers were deposited by high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. The electrical properties of the indium tin oxide (ITO) layers were analyzed using sheet resistance, while surface morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The results show that the ITO/Ag/ITO structure with 20 nm thick Ag has a lower sheet resistance (3.36 Cl/sq) and sufficient visible light transmittance (80.45%). The visible light transmittance of the ITO/Ag/ITO layers increased to 86% after rapid thermal annealing. Furthermore, surface roughness was minimized and sheet resistance was further reduced, resulting in ohmic contact on n-GaN for transparent micro-LED display applications.
