Abstract: LED chip packaging assembly that facilitates an integrated method for mounting LED chips as a group to be pre-wired to be electrically connected to each other through a pattern of extendable metal wiring lines is provided. LED chips which are electrically connected to each other through extendable metal wiring lines, replace pick and place mounting and the wire bonding processes of the LED chips, respectively. Wafer level MEMS technology is utilized to form parallel wiring lines suspended and connected to various contact pads. Bonding wires connecting the LED chips are made into horizontally arranged extendable metal wiring lines which can be in a spring shape, and allowing for expanding and contracting of the distance between the connected LED chips. A tape is further provided to be bonded to the LED chips, and extended in size to enlarge distance between the LED chips to exceed the one or more prearranged distances.

Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to an autofocus method for determining a focal plane for at least one object. The method includes reconstructing a holographic image of the at least one object such as to provide a reconstructed image at a plurality of different focal depths. The reconstructed image includes a real component and an imaginary component. The method also include performing a first edge detection on the real component for at least two depths of the plurality of different focal depths and a second edge detection on the imaginary component for the at least two depths. Further, the method includes obtaining a first measure of clarity for each of the at least two depths based on a first measure of statistical dispersion with respect to the first edge detection and a second measure of clarity.
