The invention belongs to the technical field of micro light-emitting diode transfer, and discloses a selective mass transfer method suitable for a miniature light-emitting diode. The method comprisesthe following steps of: (1) sticking a micro light-emitting diode array prepared on a sapphire substrate to a temporary transfer substrate; (2) transferring the micro light-emitting diode array from the temporary transfer substrate to a transparent substrate, wherein the transparent substrate is provided with a heat release adhesive layer; (3) selectively lighting a micro light-emitting diode to be transferred in the micro light-emitting diode array; and (4) employing an ultraviolet laser to scan the back surface of the transparent substrate to allow the lightened micro light-emitting diode tobe transferred to separate from the heat release adhesive layer and to be transferred to a target substrate. The selective mass transfer method is simple in process, high in applicability and high inaccuracy, and improves the yield and production efficiency.
