  • Patent number: 11848303
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of transferring an electronic element using a stamping and magnetic field alignment technology and an electronic device including an electronic element transferred using the method. In the present disclosure, a polymer may be simultaneously coated on a plurality of electronic elements using the stamping process, and the polymer may be actively coated on the electronic elements without restrictions on process parameters such as size and spacing of the electronic elements. Moreover, the self-aligned ferromagnetic particles have an anisotropic current flow through which current flows only in the aligned direction. Therefore, the current may flow only vertically between the electronic element and the electrode, and there is no electrical short circuit between a peripheral LED element and the electrode.
