  • Patent number: 5705424
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of fabricating pixel electrodes for active matrix displays including the formation of arrays of transistor circuits in thin film silicon on an insulating substrate and transfer of this active matrix circuit onto an optically transmissive substrate. An array of color filter elements can be formed prior to transfer of the active matrix circuit that are aligned between a light source for the display and the array of pixel electrodes to provide a color display.

  • Patent number: 5702963
    Abstract: The invention relates to device processing, packaging and interconnects that will yield integrated electronic circuitry of higher density and complexity than can be obtained by using conventional multi-chip modules. Processes include the formation of complex multi-function circuitry on common module substrates Using circuit tiles of silicon thin-films which are transferred, interconnected and packaged. Circuit modules using integrated transfer/interconnect processes compatible with extremely high density and complexity provide large-area active-matrix displays with on-board drivers and logic in a complete glass-based modules. Other applications are contemplated, such as, displays, microprocessor and memory devices, and communication circuits with optical input and output.

  • Patent number: 5656548
    Abstract: A multi-layered structure is fabricated in which a microprocessor is configured in different layers and interconnected vertically through insulating layers which separate each circuit layer of the structure. Each circuit layer can be fabricated in a separate wafer or thin film material and then transferred onto the layered structure and interconnected.

  • Patent number: 5654811
    Abstract: A display panel is formed using a single crystal thin-film material that is transferred to substrates for display fabrication. Pixel arrays form light valves or switches that can be fabricated with control electronics in the thin-film material prior to transfer. The resulting circuit panel is then incorporated into a color display panel with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired light valve.

  • Patent number: 5528397
    Abstract: A display panel is formed using essentially single crystal thin-film material that is transferred to substrates for display fabrication. Pixel arrays form light valves or switches that can be fabricated with control electronics in the thin-film material prior to transfer. The resulting circuit panel is then incorporated into a display panel with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired display.

  • Patent number: 5453405
    Abstract: Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and LED bars and LED arrays formed of semiconductive material, such as III-V, and particularly AlGaAs/GaAs material, are formed in very thin structures using organometallic vapor deposition (OMCVD). Semiconductor p-n junctions are formed as deposited using carbon as the p-type impurity dopant. Various lift-off methods are described which permit back side processing when the growth substrate is removed and also enable device registration for LED bars and arrays to be maintained.
