  • Publication number: 20240178120
    Abstract: An integrated fan-out package includes a first redistribution structure, a die, conductive structures, an encapsulant, and a second redistribution structure. The first redistribution structure has first regions and a second region surrounding the first regions. A metal density in the first regions is smaller than a metal density in the second region. The die is disposed over the first redistribution structure. The conductive structures are disposed on the first redistribution structure to surround the die. Vertical projections of the conductive structures onto the first redistribution structure fall within the first regions of the first redistribution structure. The encapsulant encapsulates the die and the conductive structures. The second redistribution structure is disposed on the encapsulant, the die, and the conductive structures.

  • Patent number: 11968856
    Abstract: Exemplary subpixel structures include a directional light-emitting diode structure characterized by a full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of emitted light having a divergence angle of less than or about 10°. The subpixel structure further includes a lens positioned a first distance from the light-emitting diode structure, where the lens is shaped to focus the emitted light from the light-emitting diode structure. The subpixel structure still further includes a patterned light absorption barrier positioned a second distance from the lens. The patterned light absorption barrier defines an opening in the barrier, and the focal point of the light focused by the lens is positioned within the opening. The subpixels structures may be incorporated into a pixel structure, and pixel structures may be incorporated into a display that is free of a polarizer layer.

  • Patent number: 11963377
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode display including a substrate having a driving circuitry and a plurality of light emitting diode structures disposed on the substrate. Each light-emitting diode structure has a light emitting diode with a light emission zone having a planar portion, and a pigmentless light extraction layer of a UV-cured ink disposed over the light-emitting diode. The light extraction layer has a gradient in index of refraction along an axis normal to the planar portion, and the index of refraction of the light extraction layer decreases with distance from the planar portion.

  • Patent number: 11956994
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.

  • Patent number: 11935854
    Abstract: A method for forming a bonded semiconductor structure is disclosed. A first device wafer having a first bonding layer and a first bonding pad exposed from the first bonding layer and a second device wafer having a second bonding layer and a second bonding pad exposed from the second bonding layer are provided. Following, a portion of the first bonding pad is removed until a sidewall of the first bonding layer is exposed, and a portion of the second bonding layer is removed to expose a sidewall of the second bonding pad. The first device wafer and the second device wafer are then bonded to form a dielectric bonding interface between the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer and a conductive bonding interface between the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad. The conductive bonding interface and the dielectric bonding interface comprise a step-height.
