  • Patent number: 10847550
    Abstract: An insulating film provided between adjacent pixels is referred to as a bank, a partition, a barrier, an embankment or the like, and is provided above a source wiring or a drain wiring for a thin film transistor, or a power supply line. In particular, at an intersection portion of these wirings provided in different layers, a larger step is formed there than in other portions. Even when the insulating film provided between adjacent pixels is formed by a coating method, thin portions are problematically partially formed due to this step and the withstand pressure is reduced. In the present invention, a dummy material is arranged near the large step portion, particularly, around the intersection portion of wirings, so as to alleviate unevenness formed thereover. The upper wiring and the lower wiring are arranged in a misaligned manner so as not to align the end portions.

  • Patent number: 10797209
    Abstract: A chip scale packaging (CSP) light emitting diode (LED) device includes a flip-chip LED semiconductor die and a beam shaping structure (BSS) to form a monochromatic CSP LED device. A photoluminescent structure can be disposed on the LED semiconductor die to form a phosphor-converted white-light CSP LED device. The BSS is fabricated by dispersing light scattering particles with concentration equal to or less than 30% by weight into a polymer resin material, and is disposed adjacent to the edge portion of the photoluminescent structure or the LED semiconductor die; or disposed remotely above the photoluminescent structure or the LED semiconductor die. The BSS disposed at the edge portion of the device can reduce the edge-emitting light of the device; while the BSS disposed at the top portion of the device can reduce the top-emitting light of the device, therefore shaping the radiation pattern and the viewing angle of the device.
