Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for packaging of dissimilar devices using electromagnetic radiation from a laser. In one aspect, an apparatus can include a first substrate, a second substrate, and a first device and a second device disposed on the second substrate. A first metal ring on the first substrate contacts a second metal ring on a second substrate, and is heated by a first electromagnetic radiation from a laser to enclose a first cavity containing the first device. A third metal ring on the first substrate contacts a fourth metal ring on the second substrate, and is heated by a second electromagnetic radiation to enclose a second cavity containing the second device. Enclosing the first cavity may be performed under a first atmosphere, and the enclosing the second cavity may be performed under a second, different atmosphere.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides apparatus and methods for mitigating electrostatic discharge (ESD) in display devices. In one aspect, a display device includes an encapsulation substrates having an anti-static coating on one or more of surfaces of the encapsulation substrate. The display devices can include transparent substrates having display elements thereon such that the encapsulation substrate that covers the display elements. The anti-static coating on one or more surfaces of the encapsulation substrate can dissipate charge that may build up during fabrication or operation of the display device. The anti-static coating can be conductive and transparent, with examples of such coatings including transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), thin metal films, thin carbon films, and networks of conductive nanostructures.
