  • Patent number: 11817434
    Abstract: A display comprises a transparent polymer support, an array of light emitters embedded in the support, and a redistribution layer. Each light emitter comprises electrode contacts that are substantially coplanar with a back surface of the support and emits light through a front surface of the support opposite the back surface when provided with power through the electrode contacts. The redistribution layer comprises a dielectric layer that is disposed on and in contact with the support back surface and distribution contacts that extend through the dielectric layer. Each of the distribution contacts is electrically connected to an electrode contact and is at least partially exposed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11799061
    Abstract: A method of making a display structure comprises providing a display substrate having a display surface, disposing components on and in contact with the display surface, uniformly blanket coating the display surface with a curable layer of uncured light-absorbing material, and curing the curable layer of uncured light-absorbing material to provide a layer of cured light-absorbing material so that the components project from the layer of cured light-absorbing material without having pattern-wise etched the layer of cured light-absorbing material after the light-absorbing material has been cured. The uniform blanket coating has a thickness greater than a thickness of the component, disposing the components comprises printing the components through the uniform blanket coating such that the components protrude from the uniform blanket coating, or the component is coated with a de-wetting material.

  • Patent number: 11742471
    Abstract: A method of making a surface-mountable pixel engine package comprises providing an array of spaced-apart conductive pillars and an insulating mold compound laterally disposed between the conductive pillars on a substrate together defining a planarized surface. Pixel engines comprising connection posts are printed to the conductive pillars so that each of the connection posts is in electrical contact with one of the conductive pillars. The pixel engines are tested to determine known-good pixel engines. An optically clear mold compound is provided over the planarized surface and tested pixel engines. Optically clear mold compound is adhered to a tape and the substrate is removed. The optically clear mold compound, the insulating mold compound, the conductive pillars, the optically clear mold compound, and the tested pixel engines are singulated to provide pixel packages that comprise the pixel engines and the known-good pixel engines are transferred to a reel or tray.
