Abstract: An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components (40) at least partially disposed in a socket(30) and sandwiched between two substrates (10, 20) is disclosed. Each micro-component (40) contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes.

Abstract: An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components (40) sandwiched between two substrates (10, 20) is disclosed. Each micro-component (40) contains a gas or gas-mixture (45) capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component (40) via at least two electrodes. An improved method of energizing a micro-component is also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components (40) sandwiched between two substrates (10, 20) is disclosed. Each micro-components (40) contains a gas or gas-mixture (45) capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes (10, 20). Several improved methods of forming micro-components (40) are also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components sandwiched between two substrates is disclosed. Each micro-component contains a gas or a gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. An improved method of manufacturing a light-emitting panel is also disclosed, which uses a web fabrication process to manufacturing light-emitting displays as part of a high-speed, continuous inline process.

Abstract: A process for in-line testing and control of the manufacture of a display panel having a plurality of light-emitting micro-components sandwiched between two substrates is disclosed. The preferred process includes a step (900) of forming micro-capsules containing a gas capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes, a step (910) of forming a panel having at least one electrode for ionization of the gas and plurality of sockets for receiving the micro-capsules, a micro-component placement process (930), a process (940) of aligning a second substrate which may have another electrode placed thereon, and a dicing process (950). Another process (905) to dope or coat the micro-components with an emission enhancement material such as low affinity material, conductive, reflective and/or luminescent material, e.g., magnesium oxide, gold, aluminum, and/or phosphor coatings, may also be provided. The panels are preferably tested, such as for size, shape, position, material properties, or electric function after each process and the data stored and subsequently analyzed to determine necessary modifications of the process and/or product.
