  • Publication number: 20240097087
    Abstract: Optoelectronic structures and methods of formation are described. In an embodiment, an optoelectronic structure includes a backplane with a driving circuitry and an array of contact pads, and a device layer bonded to the backplane. The device layer may include an array of micro-sized diodes and landing pads, and a reconstituted wiring layer including an array of via contacts connected to the array of landing pads. The reconstituted wiring layer can be directly bonded with the array of contacts with metal-metal bonds. A placement distribution of the array of landing can be decoupled from a position distribution of the array of via contacts.

  • Publication number: 20230324689
    Abstract: An electronic device may provide image light to an eye box. The display may include a light source panel that emits the image light. A waveguide may direct the image light towards the eye box. An input coupler may couple the image light into the waveguide and an output coupler may couple the image light out of the waveguide. A color filter may be optically interposed between the light source panel and the output coupler. The color filter may filter the image light using a steep cutoff characteristic. The color filter may allow the image light to exhibit a desired color point while also allowing the light source panel to use light emitters having peak emission wavelengths that maximize the efficiency of the light emitters and thus the power efficiency of the device.

  • Patent number: 10591774
    Abstract: A display may have display layers that form an array of pixels. The display layers may include a first layer that includes a light-blocking matrix and a second layer that overlaps the first layer. The first layer may include quantum dot elements formed in openings in the light-blocking matrix. The light-blocking matrix may be formed from a reflective material such as metal. The second layer may include color filter elements that overlap corresponding quantum dot elements in the first layer. Substrate layers may be used to support the first and second layers and to support thin-film transistor circuitry that is used in controlling light transmission through the array of pixels. The display layers may include a liquid crystal layer, polarizer layers, filter layers for reflecting red and green light and/or other light to enhance light recycling, and layers with angularly dependent transmission characteristics.
