  • Patent number: 11626548
    Abstract: A method for transferring electroluminescent structures onto a face, referred to as the accommodating face, of an accommodating substrate. The accommodating face is moreover provided with interconnections intended to individually address each of the structures. The electroluminescent structures are initially formed on a supporting substrate and are separated by tracks. It is then proposed in the present invention to form reflective walls, vertically above the tracks, which comprise a supporting polymer (the second polymer) supporting a metal film on its sides. Such an arrangement of reflective walls makes it possible to reduce the stresses exerted on the electroluminescent structures during the transfer method according to the present invention. Moreover, the reflective walls, within the meaning of the present invention, may be produced on all the electroluminescent structures resting on a supporting substrate.

  • Patent number: 11495710
    Abstract: A method for producing a patterned layer of material includes producing a first substrate having a patterned face, producing, against the patterned face of the first substrate, a stack of layers having an intermediate layer and the layer to be patterned, the intermediate layer being disposed between the layer to be patterned and the first substrate, a first face of the intermediate layer disposed on the first substrate side being patterned in accordance with a design that is the inverse of that of the patterned face of the first substrate, and removing the first substrate. The intermediate layer is anisotropically etched from the first face of the intermediate layer, and at least part of the thickness of the layer to be patterned is etched, patterning a face of the layer to be patterned in accordance with the design of the first face of the intermediate layer.

  • Publication number: 20220190026
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an emissive screen comprising LEDs, including the steps of: a) depositing a first metal layer on a surface of a control circuit; b) depositing a second metal layer on a surface of an optoelectronic circuit; c) bonding the optoelectronic circuit to the control circuit by direct bonding of the second metal layer to the first metal layer, by aligning the optoelectronic circuit with respect to the control circuit so that different emission cells of the optoelectronic circuit are arranged opposite different metal connection pads of the control circuit; and d) forming, from the surface of the optoelectronic circuit opposite to the control circuit, trenches laterally delimiting each emission cell.

  • Patent number: 8866375
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode component includes a primary source, a conversion layer forming a secondary source configured for absorbing the primary radiation at least in part and emitting a secondary radiation, an encapsulation layer, situated between the primary and secondary sources. The light-emitting diode component also includes a reflection layer (i) situated between the encapsulation layer and the conversion layer and having a face in contact with the encapsulation layer so as to form an interface with the encapsulation layer, the reflection layer (i) and the encapsulation layer being configured so that the interface allows the primary radiation originating from the primary source to pass and reflects the secondary radiation toward the outside of the light emitting diode.

  • Patent number: 6462486
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control process for a structure with field effect elements, the structure comprising a cathode (1) equipped with field effect elements, an anode (2), an extraction grid (7) and an additional grid (14). The process comprises at least one phase in which electrons are emitted to the anode by field effect elements, and at least one regeneration phase during which the electrons output from the elements are not transmitted to the anode. The regeneration phase is implemented by applying an electron blocking voltage (VB) to the additional grid (14) such that electrons drop back to the cathode. The invention is applicable to flat image display screens and any device comprising a field effect cathode (x-ray tube, etc.).
