    Abstract: A thin film vertical light emitting diode (VLED) structure and process are described. Features of the design include the following: bonding multiple smaller diameter LED wafers to a larger diameter carrier wafer, which reduces the per LED fabrication cost; using thin film techniques to metalize the anode and cathode and using respective annealing steps prior to photolithography patterning of LED structures; enabling the thin film process by semi-permanent bonding techniques which provide thermal and chemical stability, while allowing bond release at an opportune time by thermal, optical, or chemical means; using epitaxial substrate removal techniques to separate the entire LED film from its growth substrate; and patterning various vertical LED devices which can emit light from the n-type side (cathode), p-type side (anode), side wall, or a combination of the surfaces by using mirror layers and electrically conductive and optically transmissive layers.

    Abstract: Over a flexible substrate are deposited stacked pixel layers including a bottom layer of LEDs forming blue pixels, a middle layer of LEDs forming green pixels, and a top layer of LEDs forming red pixels. Each LED die comprises an LED portion and an integrated transistor portion. Applying a voltage to a control terminal of the transistor portion energizes the LED portion. The pixels are substantially transparent, due to the LEDs being microscopic and the pixel areas being much larger, to allow light from the underlying layers to pass through. The three layers of pixels are aligned so that a combination of a single top red pixel, a single underlying green pixel, and a single underlying blue pixel form a single multi-color pixel. The different layers have transparent column and row lines.

    Abstract: Printed micro-LEDs have a top metal anode electrode that is relatively tall and narrow and a bottom cathode electrode. After the LED ink is cured, the bottom electrodes are in electrical contact with a conductive layer on a substrate. The locations of the LEDs are random. A thin dielectric layer is then printed between the LEDs, and a thin conductive layer, such as a nano-wire layer, is then printed over the dielectric layer to contact the anode electrodes. The top conductive layer over the tall anode electrodes has bumps corresponding with the locations of the LEDs. An omniphobic liquid is then printed which only resides in the “low” areas of the top conductive layer between the bumps. Any optical material is then uniformly printed over the resulting surface. The printed optical material accumulates only on the bump areas by adhesion and surface tension, so is self-aligned with the individual LEDs.

    Abstract: Pixel locations in an addressable display are defined by metal landings on a top surface of a flexible substrate, such as by depositing a metal film and etching the film. The substrate surface may be hydrophobic so that the hydrophobic surface is exposed between the metal landings. The substrate has conductive vias that connect the metal landings to traces on a bottom surface of the substrate for connection to addressing circuitry. LED ink is then blanket-printed over the top surface and cured to electrically connect bottom electrodes of the LEDs to the metal landings. LEDs that fall between the landings are ineffective. A dielectric layer is blanket-printed which exposes the top electrodes, and a transparent conductor layer is blanket-printed over the LEDs to connect all LEDs associated with an individual pixel location in parallel. Accordingly, all printed steps can be performed without any alignment.
