  • Publication number: 20050032257
    Abstract: A method of bonding a transparent optical element to a light emitting device having a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region is provided. The method includes elevating a temperature of the optical element and the stack and applying a pressure to press the optical element and the stack together. In one embodiment, the method also includes disposing a layer of a transparent bonding material between the stack and the optical element. The bonding method can be applied to a premade optical element or to a block of optical element material which is later formed or shaped into an optical element such as a lens or an optical concentrator.

  • Patent number: 5014074
    Abstract: This technique for assembling a print head for an LED printer has LED dice first assembled into precisely known locations on mounting tiles. A portion of the front face of each tile is left exposed beyond anything mounted on the tile. The tiles are then assembled with these exposed areas on a planar reference on an assembly fixture. Reference surfaces built into the fixture align the edges of the tiles, and hence the LED dice. Finally a mother plate is adhesively bonded onto the backs of the tiles. The adhesive accommodates thickness variations in the mounting tiles, and lack of flatness in the back surfaces of the tiles and the front face of the mother plate. Reference tiles coplanar with the reference plane formed by the front faces of the mounting tiles provide a z axis reference.
