Abstract: A method is disclosed of manufacturing a layered product. The method comprises the subsequent steps of providing (S1) a carrier with a first layer of a first material that is arranged according to a pattern, covering (S2) the carrier provided with the patterned first layer with a second layer of a second material, applying (S3) electro-magnetic radiation that is selectively absorbed in the first material, said absorption resulting in a heat development in the first material, which heat causes a curing of second material adjacent the first material, removing (S4) non-cured second material.

Abstract: During the manufacture of PoIyLED displays, printed elements of the LEDs are obtained by first printing bottom element layers (23a) and subsequently printing top element layers, according to a predetermined pattern. When the dimensions of a PoIyLED display are relatively large, the printing process of each layer (23a) takes place in several strokes. In order to prevent a situation in which unacceptable differences in the height distribution of the obtained elements exist, the layers (23a) of elements which are located at a circumference of a group of elements associated with one printing stroke are printed in two steps. During a first printing stroke, a first portion of the element layers (23a) is printed, whereas during a subsequent printing stroke, the remaining portion of the element layers (23a) is printed. Consequently, the printing strokes are performed in an overlapping manner.
