  • Patent number: 7952107
    Abstract: An electronically active sheet includes a bottom substrate having a bottom electrically conductive surface. A top substrate having a top electrically conductive surface is disposed facing the bottom electrically conductive surface. An electrical insulator separates the bottom electrically conductive surface from the top electrically conductive surface. At least one bare die electronic element is provided having a top conductive side and a bottom conductive side. Each bare die electronic element is disposed so that the top conductive side is in electrical communication with the top electrically conductive surface and so that the bottom conductive side is in electrical communication with the bottom electrically conductive surface.

  • Patent number: 7723733
    Abstract: An electronically active sheet, comprising a first substrate having an electrically conductive surface; a second substrate having an electrically conductive pattern disposed thereon; at least one semiconductor element having a first conductor and a second conductor. The electronically active sheet includes an adhesive having at least one semiconductor element fixed thereto and disposed between the electrically conductive surface and the electrically conductive pattern to form a lamination. The adhesive is activatable to bind the second substrate to the first substrate so that one of the first conductor and the second conductor of the at least one semiconductor element is automatically brought into electrical communication with the electrically conductive pattern and so that the other of the first conductor and the second conductor of the at least one semiconductor element is automatically brought into and maintained in electrical communication with the electrically conductive surface of the first substrate.

  • Patent number: 7476557
    Abstract: A method of making a light active sheet. A bottom substrate having an electrically conductive surface is provided. A hotmelt adhesive sheet is provided. Light active semiconductor elements, such as LED die, are embedded in the hotmelt adhesive sheet. The LED die each have a top electrode and a bottom electrode. A top substrate is provided having a conductive layer. The hotmelt adhesive sheet with the embedded LED die is inserted between the electrically conductive surface and the conductive layer to form a lamination. The lamination is run through a heated pressure roller system to melt the hotmelt adhesive sheet and electrically insulate and bind the top substrate to the bottom substrate. As the hotmelt sheet is softened, the LED die breakthrough so that the top electrode comes into electrical contact with the conductive layer of the top substrate and the bottom electrode comes into electrical contact with the electrically conductive surface of the bottom substrate.

  • Patent number: 7294961
    Abstract: A photo-radiation source for the selective polymerization of photo-radiation-curable organic material. In a first embodiment, a first electrode is provided with a second electrode disposed adjacent to the first electrode, and defining a gap therebetween. A photo-radiation emission layer is disposed in the gap. The photo-radiation emission layer includes a charge-transport matrix material and an emissive particulate dispersed within the charge-transport matrix material. The emissive particulate receives electrical energy through the charge-transport matrix material applied as a voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode photo-radiation. The emissive particulate generates photo-radiation in response to the applied voltage. This photo-radiation is effective for the selective polymerization of photo-radiation curable organic material.

  • Patent number: 7217956
    Abstract: Device structures for sheets of light active material. A first substrate has a transparent first conductive layer. A pattern of light active semiconductor elements are fixed to the first substrate. The light active semiconductor elements have an n-side and a p-side. Each light active semiconductor element has either of the n-side or the p-side in electrical communication with the transparent conductive layer. A second substrate has a second conductive layer. An adhesive secures the second substrate to the first substrate so that the other of said n-side or said p-side of each said light active semiconductor element is in electrical communication with the second conductive layer. Thus forming a solid-state light active device.
