  • Publication number: 20210210667
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to using flux or underfill as a trapping layer for temporarily attaching light emitting diodes (LEDs) to a substrate and heating to simultaneously bond multiple LEDs onto the substrate. The flux or underfill may be selectively coated at the ends of electrodes of the LEDs prior to placing the LEDs on the substrate. Due to adhesive properties of the flux or underfill, multiple LEDs can be placed on and attached to the substrate prior to performing the bonding process. Once LEDs are placed on the substrate, the flux or underfill facilitates formation of metallic contacts between electrodes of the LED and contacts of the substrate during the bonding process. By using the flux or underfill, the formation of metallic contacts can be performed even without applying pressure.

  • Patent number: 10568242
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to placing one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Voltage differences are applied to the PCB such that, if properly placed, the one or more LEDs emit light. A camera records the placement and any light emitted from the one or more LEDs. Based upon the images from the camera, a controller can adjust placement parameters of the LEDs until they emit light. Among other advantages, the placement of the LEDs on the PCB can be adjusted in real time and allows insight into the causes of failed LED placement.
