Patent number: 11990453Abstract: A microLED mass transfer stamping system includes a stamp substrate with an array of trap sites, each configured with a columnar-shaped recess to temporarily secure a keel extended from a bottom surface of a microLED. In the case of surface mount microLEDs, the keel is electrically nonconductive. In the case of vertical microLEDs, the keel is an electrically conductive second electrode. The stamping system also includes a fluidic assembly carrier substrate with an array of wells having a pitch separating adjacent wells that matches the pitch separating the stamp substrate trap sites. A display substrate includes an array of microLED pads with the same pitch as the trap sites. The stamp substrate top surface is pressed against the display substrate, with each trap site interfacing a corresponding microLED site, and the microLEDs are transferred. Fluidic assembly stamp substrates are also presented for use with microLEDs having keels or axial leads.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: eLux Inc.Inventors: Paul J Schuele, Kenji Sasaki, Kurt Ulmer, Jong-Jan Lee

Patent number: 11929356Abstract: A method is provided for the selective harvest of microLED devices from a carrier substrate. Defect regions are predetermined that include a plurality of adjacent defective microLED devices on a carrier substrate. A solvent-resistant binding material is formed overlying the predetermined defect regions and exposed adhesive is dissolved with an adhesive dissolving solvent. Non-defective microLED devices located outside the predetermined defect regions are separated from the carrier substrate while adhesive attachment is maintained between the microLED devices inside the predetermined defect regions and the carrier substrate. Methods are also provided for the dispersal of microLED devices on an emissive display panel by initially optically measuring a suspension of microLEDs to determine suspension homogeneity and calculate the number of microLEDs per unit volume.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: eLux, Inc.Inventors: Kenji Sasaki, Kurt Ulmer, Paul J. Schuele, Jong-Jan Lee

Patent number: 11916163Abstract: A system and method are provided for repairing an emissive element display. If a defective emissive element is detected in a subpixel, a subpixel repair interface isolates the defective emissive element. The repair interface may be a parallel repair interface with n number of selectively fusible electrically conductive repair nodes, connected in parallel to a control line of the matrix. Alternatively, the repair interface may be a series repair interface with m number of repair nodes, selectively connectable to bypass adjacent (defective) series-connected emissive elements. If the subpixel emissive elements are connected in parallel, and a defective low impedance emissive element is detected, a parallel repair interface fuses open a connection between the defective emissive element and a matrix control line. If the subpixels include series-connected emissive elements, and a high impedance emissive element is detected, a series repair interface forms a connection bypassing the defective emissive element.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: eLux, Inc.Inventors: Jong-Jan Lee, Paul J. Schuele

Patent number: 10105594Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for managing a wearable garment device. Embodiments include determining an identification credential that uniquely identifies a player within an interactive gaming environment. A gameplay state of the player within the interactive gaming environment is retrieved. The gameplay state includes at least one of a rank of the player, one or more accomplishments of the player and a group to which the player belongs within the interactive gaming environment. Embodiments determine a wearable garment device having a preexisting association with the player within the interactive gaming environment. The wearable garment device is configured with one or more display devices. A graphical depiction of at least a portion of the gameplay state is generated and embodiments cause the generated graphical depiction to be output for display using the one or more display devices of the wearable garment device.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Michael P. Goslin, Silpa Ankem, Anila Godhania, Paul J. Lee, Joshua M. Noble, Joseph L. Olson, Jasjot G. Sodhi
